September 22, 2026 Intraday Market Outlook



The crypto market saw approximately $1.03 billion in liquidations over the past 24 hours, affecting more than 135,000 accounts.

Yesterday’s session was dominated by a strong short squeeze. Later, traders began aggressively chasing the upside, but momentum failed to sustain as volume weakened during the early Asian session. This triggered a modest round of liquidations among highly leveraged long positions.

With all positions opened last week already protected at break-even, I continued following the plan and opened small long positions in WIF and TRUMP overnight.

BTC Outlook

Key levels: 78,425 / 75,475 / 71,300 / 67,135

The 75,000 long from last week remains firmly held with the base position protected at break-even.

I initially expected Bitcoin to reach the 85,000–87,500 zone around November. Instead, the market reached that area much earlier than anticipated.

After such a rapid move, a short-term pullback and support retest is now developing. The key area to monitor is whether 85,150 and 84,000 can continue acting as support.

ETH Outlook

Key levels: 2,750 / 2,525 / 2,400 / 2,225 / 2,100

The 2,385 long from last week remains open, with the stop protected at break-even.

As long as the broader structure remains intact, I will continue to manage the position rather than chase short-term volatility.

SNDK

The 1,530–1,540 dip-buying position opened last week remains in place.

The priority here is patience and disciplined risk management rather than adding aggressively after the recent move.

XAU

Gold remains on the watchlist, but the technical indicators have not aligned sufficiently yet.

For now, patience is preferable to forcing an entry before the setup becomes clearer.

Altcoin Strategy

For altcoins, I would continue to keep position sizes small.

The setups worth monitoring are coins that have previously attracted strong market attention and are now breaking out around the MA60 and MA120.

However, assets that have already gained roughly 2x from the MA250 should be approached cautiously rather than chased at elevated levels.

As the market moves closer to genuinely lower-priced opportunities, risk control becomes increasingly important for every new position.

The strategy remains simple: protect existing profits, avoid chasing extended moves, and wait for high-quality setups.
