Daily Pre-Market Forecast|2026.07.20 07:51


Yesterday’s Review
Yesterday, BTC repeatedly hovered around the 64,500 support-resistance line, with the high reaching close to 64,970 but failing to effectively break above 65,000. Part of the path of holding support and continuing to test resistance was partially realized, but confirmation of the breakout still needs to be watched. ETH held above around 1,850 and probed toward 1,879; after it stabilized above 1,868, the view of opening toward 1,885 was partially realized, but it has not yet touched 1,900. The judgment that both BTC and ETH are repairing in sync, and that altcoins should not chase an impulse surge, remains valid.

Overall Judgment Today
As of 07:51 Beijing time, BTC is around $64,725, down 0.13% over 24 hours, in the range $64,278~$64,970. ETH is around $1,872, up 0.56% over 24 hours, in the range $1,852~$1,879. Both still have a basis for repair on the 4-hour and daily charts, but 1-hour momentum is starting to cool down. Today’s overall judgment is bullish toward repair, with high-range consolidation. Altcoins can observe structural rotation, but should remain relatively cautious—do not treat a local pull-up as a broad-based general uptrend.

BTC
BTC is around $64,725. The 1-hour close is still above the EMA20 at about $64,552, the 20-hour moving average at about $64,578, and the 50-hour moving average at about $64,397; however, the MACD histogram turns negative, and volume is about 1.27 times the average volume of the prior 20 cycles. Short-term strength has shifted to consolidation. The 4-hour close is above the EMA20 at about $64,333, the 20-cycle moving average at about $64,130, and the 50-cycle moving average at about $64,006; the MACD histogram remains positive, so the structure is still leaning bullish. On the daily chart, price is above the EMA20 at about $63,644 and the 20-day moving average at about $63,186, but the weekly chart is still below the main moving averages—mid-term pressure has not been lifted.

Near-term support is $64,450~$64,600, with stronger support at $64,000~$64,280. Near-term resistance is $64,970~$65,200, with stronger resistance at $65,600~$66,000. Today’s key pivot is $64,500: if it holds, BTC can still test $65,000~$65,200; after a volume-backed, stable breakout, then look at $65,600. If it breaks below $64,280, repair may cool and price may revert to $64,000. In execution, do not chase a low-volume spike near $65,000; prioritize waiting for breakout confirmation or support pullbacks.

ETH
ETH is around $1,872. The 1-hour close is slightly above the EMA20 at about $1,867, the 20-hour moving average at about $1,869, and the 50-hour moving average at about $1,858. The MACD histogram turns negative, and volume is about 1.14 times the average volume of the prior 20 cycles—short-term has entered consolidation digestion. The 4-hour close is above the EMA20 at about $1,860, the 20-cycle moving average at about $1,855, and the 50-cycle moving average at about $1,845; the MACD histogram is positive, and the repair structure is steadier than yesterday. On the daily chart, price is above the EMA20 at about $1,801 and the 20-day moving average at about $1,784. Daily support is still present, but the weekly chart is still consolidation, so it cannot be directly treated as a mid-term reversal.

Near-term support is $1,858~$1,868, with stronger support at $1,835~$1,850. Near-term resistance is $1,879~$1,890, with stronger resistance at $1,900~$1,945. Today’s key pivot is $1,860: if it holds and breaks above $1,880, there is a chance to continue testing $1,900. If it breaks below $1,850, priority shifts to watching for support absorption around $1,835. In execution, wait for volume-price confirmation above $1,880 and do not chase higher in the resistance area.

Altcoin Correlation Today
If BTC holds $64,500 and stabilizes above $65,000, and if ETH simultaneously breaks above $1,880, altcoins will have a more reliable repair space; if BTC breaks below $64,280, altcoins should prioritize defense. ETH’s intraday performance is currently slightly stronger than BTC, but it has not yet broken a key resistance level. Capital diffusion is still more localized; strong-themed setups can be watched for continuation, while weak coins should not be passively chased higher.

Public Trading Principles
Do not chase; wait for key support and bottoming confirmation first. If a pivot breaks, reduce exposure for protection. After price reclaims key resistance and volume-price alignment appears, then consider whether the repair can continue. Control the frequency of trial trades; full observation of pool positions and single-coin strategies should follow the fast-news updates or group document.
