$BTC
1. Dow Theory
Main Trend (1-hour level):
Since the high point of 82,448 on May 10, the medium-term downtrend continues. After a panic crash to 59,095 on June 5, a strong rebound occurred from June 6–8, reaching up to 64,184. On June 9, "gap opening, decline, high volume crash" from 63,050 straight down to 60,774. The morning of June 10 saw further decline to 60,774 (new low since the rebound), but in the afternoon, a shocking V-shaped rebound to around 62,400. From June 11–13, continued upward attack to 64,722. On June 14, an extreme pattern of "morning oscillation downward, afternoon panic crash, late session shocking surge" occurred, closing from 63,980 up to 65,709.
On June 15, after opening at 65,706, it oscillated downward to 65,315, but after 03:00, a strong rebound occurred, reaching a new high of 67,243 at 15:00, then pulling back.
On June 16, opening at 66,266, oscillated downward, with a terrifying crash at 14:00 from 66,000 to 65,307 (intraday low).
On June 17, opening at 65,617, oscillated downward, with a crash at 08:00 to 64,862 (breaking key support of 65,000), and a terrifying crash at 19:00 from 65,508 to 64,038 (new low since June 14), then at 22:00, a crash to 63,874 (new low since the rebound).
On June 18, opening at 64,454, oscillated downward, with a crash at 03:00 to 64,215 (breaking 64,000 support), at 04:00 to 63,810 (breaking 63,500 support), at 05:00 to 63,632 (new low since June 10), then rebounds: 06:00 to 64,011, 07:00 to 64,441, 08:00 back to 64,336, 09:00 to 64,145, 10:00 to 64,014, 11:00 to 63,902, 12:00 rebound to 64,309, 13:00 crash to 63,912, 14:00 crash to 63,733, then a shocking crash from 63,714 straight down to 62,238 (new low since June 5, breaking 62,500 support), at 16:00 rebound to 62,602, at 17:00 down to 62,190 (intraday low), at 18:00 rebound to 62,622, at 19:00 to 62,859, at 20:00 to 63,038, at 21:00 down to 62,704, at 22:00 oscillate around 62,710, at 23:00 rebound to 62,840 (close).
As of the early morning of June 19, opening at 62,840, currently (08:02 UTC) trading at 62,840.
The medium-term downtrend is confirmed to continue. Wave C rebound has completely failed, and a new downward impulsive wave is unfolding.
Short-term trend (15-minute level):
The move on June 14 was an extreme reversal from "hell to heaven." After the shocking surge at the close, the short-term high moved from 64,742 (21:15) to 65,236 (21:30), 65,608 (21:45), and 65,709 (23:00).
On June 15, the short-term high moved from 65,706 (00:00) to 67,243 (15:00).
On June 16, the short-term high moved from 66,266 (00:00) down to 66,937 (08:00).
On June 17, the short-term high moved from 65,617 (00:00) down to 66,370 (16:00).
On June 18, the short-term high moved from 64,454 (00:00) down to 64,751 (02:00), 64,701 (03:00), 64,446 (07:00), 64,417 (09:00), 64,340 (12:00), 64,382 (13:00), 63,714 (14:00), 62,733 (16:00), 62,655 (17:00), 62,880 (19:00), 63,183 (20:00), 62,906 (21:00), 62,710 (22:00), 62,840 (23:00).
The short-term trend has shifted to a "steep decline." After breaking 67,000 on June 15, the upward channel formed was completely broken, and a new downward channel is forming.
Dow Theory conclusion:
The main trend remains bearish with significantly increased downward momentum. The short-term trend has shifted to "steep decline." The shocking surge at the end of June 14 broke through the high of June 13 (64,722), creating a new high of 65,709, then further breaking to 67,243 on June 15. However, on June 16, a crash to 65,307, then further to 63,874 on June 17, and a shocking crash to 62,190 on June 18, with the early morning of June 19 at 62,840.
Above 64,000–65,000 is a critical short-term resistance zone. If the price can break through this zone effectively, the short-term downtrend may pause; if the rebound is blocked at 63,500 and falls below 62,000, the decline accelerates, targeting 60,500–59,000.
2. Chan Theory
Structural Patterns:
At the 15-minute level, multiple valid top and bottom fractals are marked on the chart.
Top Fractals:
Appeared at 64,184 (June 8, 15:00), 64,340 (June 12, 15:00), 64,722 (June 13, 21:30), 64,682 (June 14, 01:15), 65,709 (June 14, 23:00), 67,243 (June 15, 15:00), 66,937 (June 16, 08:00), 66,370 (June 17, 16:00), 64,751 (June 18, 02:00), 64,701 (June 18, 03:00), 64,446 (June 18, 07:00), 64,417 (June 18, 09:00), 64,340 (June 18, 12:00), 64,382 (June 18, 13:00), 63,714 (June 18, 14:00), 62,733 (June 18, 16:00), 62,655 (June 18, 17:00), 62,880 (June 18, 19:00), 63,183 (June 18, 20:00), 62,906 (June 18, 21:00), 62,710 (June 18, 22:00), 62,840 (June 18, 23:00).
Top fractals moved upward after the shock surge on June 14, from 64,000–65,500 zone, then to 67,000 zone on June 15, then back down to 66,500 zone on June 16, further down to 64,000 zone on June 17, and to 62,500 zone on June 18, indicating dominant bearish force.
Bottom Fractals:
Appeared at 59,095 (June 5, 18:45), 60,774 (June 10, 09:00), 63,414 (June 13, 03:15), 63,643 (June 14, 10:30), 65,315 (June 15, 02:00), 65,307 (June 16, 14:00), 64,038 (June 17, 19:00), 63,874 (June 17, 22:00), 64,215 (June 18, 03:00), 63,810 (June 18, 04:00), 63,632 (June 18, 05:00), 64,011 (June 18, 06:00), 63,902 (June 18, 11:00), 63,912 (June 18, 13:00), 62,238 (June 18, 15:00), 62,190 (June 18, 17:00), 62,622 (June 18, 18:00), 62,704 (June 18, 21:00), 62,710 (June 18, 22:00), 62,840 (June 18, 23:00).
Bottom fractals moved upward after the shock surge on June 14, from 64,000–65,500 zone, then to 65,000–67,000 zone on June 15, then back down to 65,000 zone on June 16, further down to 62,000 zone on June 17, and to 62,000 zone on June 18, showing extremely weak bullish willingness and dominant bearish force.
Bi and Line Segments:
From bottom fractal at 63,414 to top fractal at 64,722 (June 13, 21:30), forming a very strong upward stroke (blue line), about +1,308.
From 64,722 top fractal to 63,643 bottom fractal (June 14, 10:30), forming a downward stroke (brown line), about -1,079, strength about 82.5% of the previous upward stroke.
From 63,643 bottom fractal to 65,709 top fractal (June 14, 23:00), forming a very terrifying upward stroke (blue line), about +2,066, far exceeding the previous upward stroke, indicating extremely strong bullish force.
From 65,709 top fractal to 65,315 bottom fractal (June 15, 02:00), forming a downward stroke (brown line), about -394.
From 65,315 bottom fractal to 67,243 top fractal (June 15, 15:00), forming a more powerful upward stroke (blue line), about +1,928, nearly equal to the previous upward stroke, showing sustained strong bullish force.
From 67,243 top fractal to 62,238 bottom fractal (June 18, 15:00), forming an extremely terrifying downward stroke (brown line), about -5,005, far surpassing the previous downward stroke (-1,079), indicating extremely fierce bearish rebound, completely crushing the bulls, and the Wave C rebound has failed.
Currently, from the bottom fractal at 62,238, the price is constructing a new initial upward stroke, with the latest high at 62,840.
Central Zone Area:
Between 63,000–65,000, the K-line is densely interwoven from June 11–14, forming a central zone in Chan Theory①.
The current price of 62,840 is far below the lower boundary of the central zone, indicating an accelerated decline after a downward breakout.
In the 60,500–62,000 zone, the dense interweaving of K-lines on June 9–10 has formed a downward central zone in Chan Theory①. The V-shaped rebound on June 10 afternoon and the strong attack from June 11–15 have fully broken this zone, but the continuous crashes on June 16–18 have broken it completely.
In the 66,200–67,000 zone, dense interweaving of K-lines from June 15 12:00–21:00 has formed a new central zone② in Chan Theory, but after the crash on June 16, this zone has been completely broken.
In the 62,200–63,000 zone, dense interweaving of K-lines from June 18 15:00–23:00 is forming a new potential central zone③ in Chan Theory.
Chan Theory conclusion:
The force of upward strokes is extremely terrifying (+2,066 and +1,928), but downward strokes are even more terrifying (-5,005), indicating complete dominance by bears. Currently, in the low oscillation stage after the downward extension of the downward stroke, no termination signal has appeared.
Short-term focus: whether an effective bottom fractal can form near 62,238. If formed, the downward stroke may end; if it directly breaks below 62,000, the downward extension and further decline to 60,500–59,000 are highly risky.
3. Elliott Wave Theory
Based on the 1-hour wave structure, the trend since the high of 82,448 on May 10 is divided into typical "five-wave decline + ABC rebound failure + new downward impulsive wave":
Wave 1 (Crash): from 82,448 down to 75,658 (May 26), about -6,790.
Wave 2 (Rebound): from 75,658 up to 78,002 (May 26), about +2,344.
Wave 3 (Main decline): from 78,002 down to 66,703 (June 2), about -11,299.
Wave 4 (Rebound): from 66,703 up to 74,153 (May 31), about +7,450.
Wave 5 (Final crash): from 74,153 down to 59,095 (June 5), about -15,058.
A wave (rebound): from 59,095 up to 64,184 (June 8, 15:00), about +5,089.
B wave (correction): from 64,184 down to 60,774 (June 10, 09:00), about -3,410.
B wave correction is about 67.0% of A wave, a typical deep correction.
C wave (expansion): from 60,774 up to 67,243 (June 15, 15:00), about +6,469.
Current amplitude of C wave is about 127.1% of A wave, exceeding the equal length. But on June 16, a crash to 65,307, then further crashes to 64,038, 62,238 on June 18, confirm that C wave has completely failed.
New downward impulsive wave:
Wave 1 (Crash): from 67,243 down to 62,238 (June 18, 15:00), about -5,005.
Wave 2 (Rebound): from 62,238 up to 62,840 (June 18, 23:00), about +602.
Wave 2 rebound is about 12.0% of Wave 1, a weak rebound, indicating dominant bears.
Wave conclusion:
Currently in the new downward impulsive Wave 2 rebound stage.
Wave 1 was extremely fierce (-5,005), Wave 2 is weak (+602), showing bears are dominant.
If Wave 2 is resisted near 63,500 and breaks below 62,000, Wave 3 crash begins, targeting 57,000–55,000;
If Wave 2 can break through 64,000 and continue upward, the new downward impulsive wave may fail.
4. Volume-Price Relationship
Overall volume-price features:
On June 14, an extremely extreme volume-price pattern appeared.
During the morning oscillation decline, volume was relatively shrinking; during the afternoon crash, huge volume appeared; during the late shocking surge, even larger volume.
On June 15, when breaking 67,000, volume significantly increased, showing sustained strong bullish force.
On June 16, during the crash, volume again surged, indicating very strong bearish rebound.
On June 17, during the crash, volume again surged, confirming bears' dominance.
On June 18, during the shocking crash, volume reached an extreme of 0, showing bears' force reached a terrifying level.
Volume alternated between large declines and surges, but recently, bearish volume clearly dominates, and the volume level is increasing.
Key volume-price nodes:
- June 14, 21:15: Massive bullish candle (volume 743 million), from 64,070 to 64,742, confirming strong bullish force at the close.
- June 14, 21:45: Massive bullish candle (volume 0), from 65,258 to 65,608, confirming extreme bullish force at the close.
- June 15, 15:00: Large bullish candle (significantly increased volume), from 66,534 to 67,243, confirming accelerated Wave C main rise.
- June 16, 14:00: Terrifying large bearish candle (volume 1B), from 66,000 down to 65,307, confirming extremely strong bearish rebound.
- June 17, 19:00: Terrifying large bearish candle (volume 2.65B), from 65,508 down to 64,038, confirming extreme bearish force.
- June 18, 15:00: Shocking terrifying large bearish candle (volume 7.53B), from 63,714 down to 62,238, confirming the terrifying level of bearish force, Wave C failure, and the start of a new downward impulsive wave.
The last 10 five-minute candles: from 62,238 oscillating rebound to 62,840, volume shows a decreasing consolidation pattern, market waiting in the 62,200–63,000 zone for direction.
Volume-Price conclusion:
On June 14, the late surge with huge volume confirmed bullish dominance.
On June 15, breaking 67,000 with large volume confirmed Wave C main rise.
From June 16–18, continuous crashes with increasing volume, especially June 18’s 200.5 billion, confirmed the terrifying bearish rebound, Wave C failure, and the start of a new downward impulsive wave.
Current low-volume consolidation indicates both bulls and bears are resting, but bears are clearly stronger.
Key observation points:
- If rebound to 63,000–63,500 shows volume stagnation, Wave 3 crash begins.
- If breaking below 62,000 with volume, the decline accelerates.
5. Order Flow
Volume Profile:
The recent 3-day volume control point (POC) is at 65,700, the area of highest trading density, forming the current most important value zone center.
Current price at 62,840 is far below POC, indicating a significant negative divergence between market value center and actual price, with bears dominating.
Current analysis:
Price at 62,840 is about 2,860 below POC, in the below-value zone, with a large deviation.
In order flow theory, breaking below POC indicates short-term sellers are fully in control, and the market is shifting from premium to deep discount.
The current price is approaching a lower value zone, with obvious support near 62,000.
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- 65,000–66,000: Resistance HVN (dense trading zone from June 14–16, current resistance)
- 64,000–65,000: Core resistance HVN (dense trading zone after June 17 crash, current resistance)
- 62,000–63,000: Core support HVN (dense trading zone after June 18 crash, current support)
- 60,500–61,500: Strong support HVN (massive absorption zone after June 10 crash)
Delta Analysis (bottom subgraph):
Delta estimates show that during the shocking surge on June 14, Delta sharply turned positive (+50 billion), confirming active buy orders at the close.
On June 15, during the break of 67,000, Delta again turned sharply positive (+5B), confirming sustained strong bullish force.
On June 16, during the crash, Delta sharply turned negative (-3B), confirming extremely strong bearish rebound.
On June 17, during the crash, Delta again sharply turned negative (-2.5B), confirming extreme bearish force.
On June 18, during the shocking crash, Delta sharply turned negative (-5B), confirming the terrifying level of bearish force, completely crushing bulls.
Currently, Delta MA12 has fallen from positive to deep negative, indicating very strong selling force and complete dominance by sellers.
Order Flow conclusion:
Price below POC 65,700 enters deep discount zone, with short-term sellers fully in control.
Key resistance at 63,000 and 63,500 HVNs. If Delta remains positive with volume breakout at these levels, upward attack toward 64,000 is possible.
If Delta remains negative and price breaks below 62,000, Wave 3 crash will begin.
6. Price Action
Support and Resistance Levels:
Strong Resistance: 82,448 (high point), 78,002 (May 26 rebound high), 74,153 (May 31 rebound high), 67,243 (June 15 rebound high), 66,937 (June 16 rebound high)
Key Resistance: 67,000, 66,500, 66,000, 65,709 (June 14 rebound high), 65,500, 65,000, 64,500 (June 17 rebound high), 64,000, 63,500
Key Support: 63,000, 62,500, 62,238 (June 18 crash low), 62,000, 61,000, 60,774 (June 10 crash low), 59,095 (June 5 crash low)
Candlestick Patterns:
June 14, 21:15: Long lower shadow bullish candle (body 672, no upper shadow), from 64,070 to 64,742, showing strong V-shaped reversal, "bullish engulfing" pattern.
June 15, 15:00: Long upper shadow bullish candle (body 709, no lower shadow), from 66,534 to 67,243, showing accelerated Wave C main rise.
June 16, 14:00: Long lower shadow bearish candle (body 693, no upper shadow), from 66,000 to 65,307, showing strong bearish rebound, "bearish engulfing" pattern.
June 17, 19:00: Long lower shadow bearish candle (body 1,470, no upper shadow), from 65,508 to 64,038, showing extreme bearish force, "bearish engulfing" pattern.
June 18, 15:00: Large terrifying bearish candle with long lower shadow (body 1,476), from 63,714 to 62,238, showing extreme bearish force, "bearish engulfing" pattern.
Trend Structure:
Short-term: The steep upward channel has been completely broken, now in a steep downward channel (connecting 67,243, 65,307, 64,038, 62,238).
Mid-term: The downtrend since May 10 at 82,448 continues, with a new downtrend line forming.
Price Action conclusion:
In the short term, in the crash phase after Wave C failure, 62,000 is the key dividing line:
- Holding above may lead to a technical rebound targeting 63,000–63,500.
- Falling below may trigger Wave 3 crash targeting 60,500–59,000.
Overall assessment:
Dow Theory indicates the main trend remains bearish with increasing downward momentum, confirming a shift to "steep decline" with key levels at 63,500 (up) and 62,000 (down).
Chan Theory shows extremely fierce upward strokes (+2,066 and +1,928) but even more fierce downward strokes (-5,005), with current low-position oscillation dominated by bears.
Elliott Wave confirms five-wave decline completed, ABC rebound failed (+6,469 then crash to 62,238), now in Wave 2 rebound stage (+602).
Volume-Price signals: the extreme volume on June 14, the breakout volume on June 15, and the continuous large-volume crashes on June 16–18, especially June 18’s 200.5 billion, confirm the dominance of bears and Wave C failure.
Order flow shows POC at 65,700, price below POC, Delta MA12 deep negative, indicating strong seller dominance.
Price action shows "bullish engulfing" and "bearish engulfing" patterns, with short-term bears fully in control.
62,000 is the critical dividing line.
Short-term strategy suggestions:
- Bullish bias: If price near 62,000–62,500 shows decreasing volume, bottom fractal, and Delta turns positive, consider trying long with targets 63,000 → 63,500, stop-loss 61,500.
- Bearish bias: If rebound to 63,000–63,500 shows top fractal with volume decline, confirming Wave 3 crash, consider short with targets 62,000 → 61,000, stop-loss 64,000.
Current state: At 62,840, in the crash phase after Wave C failure, bears dominate. Wait for a rebound to 63,000–63,500 to confirm resistance before shorting, or wait for a break below 62,000 to confirm Wave 3 crash and then go short. If 62,000 holds and a bottom fractal forms, cautiously consider longs.
