📢 Daily Trading Strategy Reminder: CPI Data Night, BTC and ETH Ready to Break Out Good morning, traders! Today is August 12, and the crypto market is currently in an extremely compressed range, with the entire market holding its breath awaiting the release of tonight's U.S. CPI inflation data. With macro news currently in a vacuum, funds are generally staying on the sidelines, and trading volume continues to shrink. Below is today's core market analysis and trading strategy recommendations for Bitcoin and Ethereum: I. Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis and Strategy 1. Current Market Conditions BTC is currently locked in repeated battles around the $63,500-$64,000 level, showing a typical standoff between bulls and bears. On the one hand, spot ETF funds are maintaining slight net inflows, firmly supporting the market bottom; on the other hand, weak on-chain activity, combined with selling pressure from miners and corporate holdings, has left the market lacking upward momentum. Overall leverage in the derivatives market remains manageable, and the market is currently undergoing an extreme range-bound shakeout. 2. Key Variable Tonight's U.S. CPI data is the only key variable determining the short-term direction. If CPI comes in above expectations (hotter inflation), stronger expectations for high interest rates will weigh on risk assets, and BTC will likely come under pressure and weaken; if CPI comes in below expectations (cooling inflation), expectations for interest-rate cuts will heat up, bringing expectations of looser liquidity and benefiting an upward breakout in BTC. 3. Key Levels and Trading Strategy * Overhead resistance zone: The first resistance level is $65,200-$65,500, and a high-volume hold above it is needed to confirm the return of the bulls; strong resistance is at $67,200-$67,500. Unless this range is broken, all upward moves should be defined as rebounds. * Downside support zone: The first support level (the bull-bear lifeline) is at $63,400-$63,700; strong support is at $61,800-$62,200. A decisive break below it would damage the range-bound structure. * Trading recommendations: Before the CPI data is released, light-position observation and selling high/buying low within the range are recommended. * Short on rebound (primary strategy): Entry range $64,500-$64,800, with a target of $63,000-$63,500 and a stop-loss above $65,200. * Conservative long: If the CPI data is favorable and a bottoming signal appears, consider buying on dips in the $62,500-$63,000 range, with a target of $64,500-$65,000 and a stop-loss below $61,800. II. Ethereum (ETH) Market Analysis and Strategy 1. Current Market Conditions ETH has recently underperformed BTC, falling approximately 2.5% intraday and currently fluctuating around $1,870. Although Ethereum's ecosystem fundamentals remain solid (staking volume has reached an all-time high and DeFi TVL has recovered), short-term incremental buying support is lacking due to tightening macro liquidity and slight outflows from spot ETF funds. Technically, the short-term moving averages are turning downward, with bears temporarily holding the advantage. 2. Key Variable ETH is likewise highly dependent on guidance from tonight's CPI data. In addition, close attention should be paid to whether spot ETF fund flows can resume a net inflow trend after macro uncertainty dissipates. 3. Key Levels and Trading Strategy * Overhead resistance zone: The first resistance level is $1,890; strong resistance is at $1,910-$1,930, and a high-volume breakout is needed to confirm a trend reversal. * Downside support zone: The first support level is $1,840 (the short-term bull-bear dividing line); strong support is at $1,800 (the key weekly defense level); extreme support is at $1,786 (the long-term daily MA200). * Trading recommendations: The market is currently in a range-bound bottoming phase dominated by bears, so position sizes should be strictly controlled. * Short on rebound (primary strategy): Entry range $1,880-$1,910, with a target of $1,820-$1,840 and a stop-loss above $1,930. * Conservative long: If the price falls back to the $1,820-$1,840 range and confirms a bottom, cautiously try a light-position long, with a target of $1,880-$1,900 and a stop-loss below $1,790. ⚠️ Risk Warning Market volatility will increase sharply before and after tonight's CPI data release. All traders are urged to manage risk properly, avoid taking large positions or going all-in before the data is released, and set strict stop-losses.

Currently, this is closer to a technical recovery phase after the decline, but upside momentum is weak due to resistance, with very poor follow-through. This morning, consider trading around the resistance near 638–646; for ETH, watch 1900 and 1925. Downside support: 628/618; 1860, 1830. $BTC $GT $ETH
