Market Forecast (September 1 - September 5) :
The current RSI index is 48.59, indicating a neutral to weak trend. The Fear and Greed Index is at 40 (lower than last week). The cryptocurrency market is expected to continue a weak oscillating pattern, with some pullback pressure.
BTC core range: $108,650 - $113,500, be cautious of the risk of testing $100,000.
ETH core range: $4,400 - $4,800, with $4,400 being a crucial support level.
Short-term traders should remain flexible, focus on technical analysis, strictly adhere to stop-losses, and consider taking small short positions when facing resistance during rebounds. Long-term investors should be patient; if the market experiences a pullback, it can be seen as an opportunity to gradually accumulate quality assets, using a dollar-cost averaging strategy near key support areas.
