May 21, 2026 BTC Technical Analysis Strategy



Current Price and Order Book Structure (10:33)

Current Price: 77,420 USDT, 24h range-bound consolidation, range 76,280–78,150

• Daily: Slightly weak range-bound action, trading below the 50/100-day moving averages under pressure, with short sellers dominating in the short term; the 200-day moving average support remains intact, the larger uptrend has not been broken, indicating a mid-term pullback

• 4-Hour: Narrow consolidation within a descending channel; there is weak rebound momentum in the short term, but resistance overhead is dense, leaving limited room for the rebound; overall, consolidation remains the main theme
