The BTC short position set up last night played out perfectly again, with the market dipping to around 62,600 in the morning before stabilizing. ETH moved in sync with BTC, stopping its decline after reaching low-level support around 1,868. From the current chart, BTC’s daily chart shows a bottoming-and-rebound pattern with a long lower shadow. The price tested the strong support at 62,500 several times before rebounding quickly, indicating strong buying support below. On the four-hour chart, MACD shows signs of a golden cross, with downside momentum weakening and short-term bullish momentum strengthening. Going forward, BTC must hold above 63,500 with increased volume to open room for a move toward the 64,000–65,000 range.
BTC can be bought long in the 62,700–62,200 range, with a target around 64,000
ETH can be bought long in the 1,870–1,840 range, with a target around 1,920#Gate7月增长Top1 $BTC

August 17 ETH Short Position Plan
Direction: Sell into the rebound.
Entry: 1880-1890.
Stop-loss: 1900.
Targets: 1870 / 1865.
Why choose this area?
ETH previously rebounded from around 1863, reaching a high of around 1891.
However, it quickly fell back after rising and failed to remain above 1890.
This indicates that pressure still exists around 1890.
Therefore, do not chase shorts today; instead, wait for a rebound to the 1880-1890 area to short.
Set the stop-loss at 1900.
If the price breaks back above 1900 and stabilizes there, it means the short-term bearish logic is invalidated.
Exit when necessary; do not fight the market.
Downside targets:
First, look at 1870.
Then, look toward around 1865.
Trading is not necessarily about catching the highest and lowest points.
It is about making trades with a reasonable risk-reward ratio at positions where risk is controllable.
Today's ETH:
Short at 1880-1890
Stop-loss at 1900
Targets: 1870 / 1865
Execute when the level is provided.
Wait when no level is provided.$ETH #GateCard三重升级 #比特币变盘信号出现
