Cryptocurrency Community Expert: Bitcoin (BTC) Latest Market Analysis on 2025.5.18

The current price of Bitcoin is 103,000. It is now 1:30 AM Beijing time. The weekend is likely to be sideways, and there won't be a clear entry point. Friends who like to trade Bitcoin can take a break. The reason is quite normal; the main players are also operating behind the scenes. After harvesting, they will naturally celebrate with champagne, just like our mindset when we take profits. The bulls are gathering strength, so let's take a look at the market.

Currently, the daily candlestick is hovering around 103,000, with a high of 103,600 and a low of 102,550. This narrow range of fluctuation offers little operational space, and the candlestick has been adjusting above the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, showing no intention of breaking below it for now. Therefore, there is a high probability of continuing to consolidate. The EMA15 trend line pressure has also reached above 101,000 and is still stretching upwards. The MACD has ended its continuous expansion and is starting to contract downwards. The DIF and DEA have formed a death cross at a high level, indicating that the main players are likely to test the strength of the major trend support point. The Bollinger Bands' upward channel remains unchanged, with attention on the middle band at 99,500.

The four-hour candlestick is currently at the support point of a triangle. Interested traders can consider a short-term long position, with a small space of 500 points to take profit. The EMA trend indicator is showing a high-level contraction, so the candlestick is likely to consolidate at a high level. Additionally, the MACD shows one large and one small indicator. Although the DIF and DEA are expanding, there is a high probability of missing the best entry point once the golden cross trend appears. The Bollinger Bands are flat, with the candlestick hovering around the middle band at 103,200. The upper band pressure has reached 104,400, while the lower band is too high, having already broken the support at 102,200. Overall, the bullish trend dominates the market, and the strategy should focus on going long while being cautious about shorting.

Short-term strategy reference: The market is never 100% certain, so always set stop-losses. Safety first; small losses and big gains are the goal, especially when breaking key resistance and support levels. Stop-losses should be executed without hesitation.

For a northern trial position, the range is 102,000 to 101,500, with a defense at 101,000 and a stop-loss of 500 points. The target is 104,000 to 104,500, with a breakout target of 105,000.

For a southern trial position, the range is 105,000 to 105,500, with a defense at 105,800 and a stop-loss of 500 points. The target is 103,000 to 102,500, with a breakout target of 102,000.
