🔍 In-depth analysis today:
1️⃣ “Massive rotation and absorption” at the $77,000–$79,000 range
After completing a super one-way primary rally from $63,000 to $79,000 in a single week, the market is currently accumulating high-level positions within the dense resistance zone of $77,000–$78,500. Although some long-term holders (LTHs) have taken partial profits, support from spot ETFs and compliant over-the-counter funds has been extremely strong, with no signs of a deep sell-off.
2️⃣ Institutional funds and major altcoins resonate in a catch-up rally
As Bitcoin establishes a breakout structure, core assets including Ethereum (breaking above $2,400), SOL, and Hyperliquid have posted weekly gains of 20%–50%. Market liquidity is expanding from a pure “BTC short squeeze” toward a broader increase in risk appetite across the market, while institutions remain optimistic about regulatory legislation such as the CLARITY Act and subsequent policy developments.
3️⃣ Technicals: Daily bullish divergence, beware of a weekend liquidity-contraction pullback
Moving averages across all timeframes on the 4-hour and daily charts show a fully bullish alignment. RSI remains elevated and consolidating above 70, with short-term key support at the former resistance-turned-support zone of $74,500–$75,000. As long as the weekly close holds above $75,000, the next uptrend will directly open the path toward $82,000–$85,000.
📉 Trading strategy suggestions:
Support: First support at $75,000–$75,500; strong support at $71,500–$72,000.
Resistance: Key short-term resistance at $79,000–$80,000; major breakout resistance at $83,000.
Trading approach:
Spot: Hold firmly. Do not blindly fear the highs and give up cheap holdings during the early stage of the primary rally; continue holding medium- to long-term positions to benefit from the trend premium.
Futures: Strictly avoid highly leveraged long positions above $78,000 or trying to pick a top against the trend. Conservative traders are advised to wait for a low-volume pullback and confirmed support in the $75,000–$75,800 range on the 1-hour/4-hour timeframe before entering trend-following longs, with a strict stop-loss below $74,000.
💬 Discussion:
Bitcoin surged 23% in a single week, approaching the $80,000 mark! Do you think it will break directly above $80,000 at the start of the new week, or undergo a healthy corrective rotation in the $75,000–$78,000 range?
