$BTC $ETH 4.26 April 26 mid-day trading strategy for big coin (BTC) and altcoin
BTC is currently holding the lower edge of the price channel. The real-bodied close remains stable above the channel, and the short-term temporary bottom support is solid.
In the short term, the market is trapped in range-bound oscillation between 76888–77842; as long as key levels are not broken, there will be no one-direction move up or down.
If price gains volume and holds above 77822, you can rebound accordingly, targeting 78456 and 79148. If the 4-hour timeframe breaks below 77153, it will further probe down to 76019 and 74942.
ETH is moving in tandem with BTC, consolidating sideways. The key long/short boundary is 2323 as resistance and 2298 as support.
If price breaks above 2323 to the right side with volume, go long and look toward 2362–2398. If price breaks down below 2298 with volume and the rebound/backtest lacks strength, then chase a short.
A pullback to 2257 support can be used to try a long entry. If 2216 is broken, strictly cut losses with a stop.
In the short term, the bullish trend line has been broken sideways, so its reference value is limited. For rebounds, the market must first reclaim the trend line and break above the 2339 resistance; otherwise, price will likely fall back to test the lower levels at 2282 and 2227.
