$BTC September 18 afternoon (Bitcoin, Ethereum) trade ideas$ETH
The long setup highlighted early this morning was validated as expected, with the market moving higher throughout. We entered two long positions in succession: the first at 77600 and exited at 77200, capturing 600 points; the second entered at 77500 and took profit at 77300, securing 800 points. The midday market surged to around 77700 before pulling back, and the chat room had provided its view in advance, maintaining a short-term bullish stance. A long entry was given at 77400, with the target set directly at 77800, the upper boundary of the range mentioned previously. The bullish momentum continued, allowing us to take profit smoothly and capture a 400-point short-term gain. With the chart repeatedly oscillating and producing wicks, many people are easily misled by brief pullbacks and miss the move. We, however, firmly grasped the market's strength and weakness signals and provided everyone with the key levels in advance. Multiple consecutive short-term trades were all successfully executed and realized, with the rhythm precisely managed. Friends who followed the rhythm steadily secured this round of profits.
Observing the current market, prices have maintained an upward rhythm since early this morning, breaking through the 77300‑77800 mid-range we previously mentioned, before falling back inside that range to trade sideways. Based on the market structure, the evening session will most likely extend the daytime rebound. On the four-hour chart, price remains within the larger downtrend that began at 82000, and this move is only a corrective rebound after the decline, so expectations for its upside should not be overly optimistic. In addition, with the Fed's rate hike now implemented and Waller taking a hawkish stance, macro pressure on the larger time frame remains, and the overall direction is still biased bearish. Therefore, longs at this stage should only be treated as short-term trades and are unsuitable for long-term holding. If bullish momentum is sufficient, the upside may test around 79000; if the rally lacks strength, resistance will emerge around 78400. Once price surges into the high-range area, it will present an opportunity to arrange swing shorts. For now, continue to buy dips, with a short-term target of 78400 first, followed by the 78700‑79500 range.
