BTC and ETH Intraday Market Analysis: Bearish Dominance Remains, Caution Advised for Downward Risks Amid Weak Rebound

Bitcoin (BTC): Multiple Cycle Signals Bearish, 88000 Key Resistance

Bitcoin exhibited a wide range of fluctuations yesterday, with prices experiencing a tug-of-war around the 86180 level, dipping to a low near 85000, and then rebounding in the evening to a high of 87900, but failing to break through the key resistance level, currently stabilizing around 87530. From a technical perspective, the mid-band of the Bollinger Bands on the four-hour chart shows significant resistance, with short-term pressure concentrated at the 88000 level. If this level cannot be effectively broken, the rebound momentum may further weaken.

The daily chart continues to show weakening trends, having failed to break through the critical resistance at 95000 during the previous uptrend (with a maximum of only 94555). The MACD indicator has formed a death cross, continuously releasing bearish signals, increasing the risk of further declines. In the short term, the MACD on the one-hour chart is about to form a death cross, with bullish momentum gradually diminishing, and the bullish volume on the two-hour chart also showing a contraction. Although there was a slight rebound during the day, the overall trend remains dominated by bears. It is worth noting that 82000 serves as an important support level; if this price level holds, the overall bearish market structure will remain unchanged, and the short-term bearish logic is quite valid.

Ethereum (ETH): Divergent Trends but Bearish Tone Unchanged, 3000 Key Turning Point

Ethereum's performance during the day showed some divergence from Bitcoin, currently priced around 2954, with a high of 2978 and a low above 2890, where it found support, never breaking below the critical 2890 level. From a technical standpoint, although the MACD on the daily chart has formed a death cross, the current trading day has not yet concluded, leaving short-term trends uncertain; the one-hour chart is in a consolidation phase, with market trading sentiment stabilizing and no clear directional guidance.

The four-hour chart has become the core timeframe for judging ETH's subsequent trends, with two major resistance levels to focus on: the closing high of 3011 from the early morning of the 16th (which is also the mid-band resistance of the Bollinger Bands) and the short-term resistance at 2982. The 3000 round number serves as a psychological threshold for the market; if it cannot be effectively broken, it will continue to suppress rebound potential. Support levels below are sequentially focused on 2923, 2893, and 2876, with these price levels forming key nodes for bearish positioning.

From a structural perspective, Ethereum experienced a brief surge before entering a consolidation phase yesterday. Given the current technical formation, a "rebound-consolidation-downward" cycle cannot be ruled out. Despite showing divergence from Bitcoin in the short term, the daily death cross signal and the pressure from key resistance levels still dominate the bearish structure, with the overall downward trend not fundamentally changing.

Operational Suggestions

The current cryptocurrency market is overall in a bearish dominant structure, with both BTC and ETH facing weak rebounds and concentrated resistance. It is recommended to follow the trend, with a core strategy of shorting on rallies, and to strictly set stop-loss levels to guard against sudden rebound risks. BTC should focus on the breakthrough situation of the 88000 resistance and 82000 support, while ETH should concentrate on the 3000-3011 resistance range and the defense of the 2890 key support.
