September 22 Crypto Brief Today’s market saw a surge followed by a pullback, with high-level consolidation—not a straight upward rally. $BTC dropped from Monday’s high of around 87,300 to 85,500–86,100, while $ETH fell from approximately 2,776 to 2,730–2,760. Key points for today: The short squeeze aftermath is still ongoing, but the explosive rally has shifted to a phase of rotation. ETFs are seeing inflows, Strategy continues buying $BTC, and Bitmine keeps accumulating $ETH. Oil prices are down, the U.S.-China meeting is approaching, Nasdaq is strengthening, and sentiment has reached extreme greed. Altcoins are starting to rotate. $BTC • Resistance: 86,600 → 87,300 → 88,000 • Support: 85,100 → 84,500 → 82,000–82,500 Holding 85,100 is crucial for another push higher; if it breaks, first look at 82,000. $ETH • Resistance: 2,776 → 2,800 → 3,000 • Support: 2,730 → 2,700 → 2,650–2,670 Following $BTC’s lead, 2,700 is the short-term dividing line. In short: The structure isn’t broken yet, but don’t chase the highs. Above 85,000, the bias is slightly bullish during consolidation. On pullbacks, look for buying opportunities—not sentiment-driven moves.
