Abstract

The short-term fluctuation of BTC price increases, which will confirm the breakthrough direction.

1、 BTC short-term selling signal appears

BTC's 30 minute K-line chart is hourly. Recently, the main short-term pressure on BTC's price retreat shows a very strong willingness to sell. From 20:30 on July 13, BTC prices suddenly fell from a high level. Within 30 minutes, the price amplitude was 5.75%, and the closing decline also reached 4.44%. At the same time, the trading volume was 230% larger than the previous 30 minute trading range. After the trading volume was tripled, the BTC price fell by $1000 from above $20000.

Although BTC has recently shown signs of rebound, its growth is relatively limited. Judging from this, the current BTC price trend is not strong, with strong range shocks and adjustment expectations.

2. BTC chain trading volume remains high

The trading volume on the chain has always maintained a high level, which means that the turnover of BTC is relatively sufficient, and there are more investors trading or transferring BTC in the low price area. This shows that in the shock around us $20000, if the adjustment time is long enough, BTC will confirm the bottom feature at US $20000. The recent selling pressure is very important to the trend of BTC price. If the selling pressure increases, the BTC price may fall again. At present, the price platform of $20000 has been maintained for one month. The trading time is not long, and the active buying is less, which has a great impact on the market performance.

3. Main loss escape signal continues

Although BTC's activity has increased slightly recently, the trading volume of both the chain and the exchange has rebounded, the loss trading of BTC's long-term investors has not ended. SOPR indicators of long-term investors show that the overall loss trading range of the main force is more than 40%. In other words, the main force trades BTC at a loss of 40%, making the short-term bottom confirmation process relatively bumpy. In particular, compared with the SOPR index performance of long-term investors in 2020, the recent selling intention of long-term investors shows no sign of ending, so important reversal signals still need to wait patiently.

4. Eth trading volume remains high

Eth finished sideways around us $1100, and the range rebound again occurred under the brin line, indicating that the bottom of the price is being confirmed. At present, the trading volume at the bottom of eth remains high, so a lot of chips have accumulated around $1100. Not surprisingly, the price rebound space corresponding to high trading volume will also gradually increase. With the accumulation of trading volume, the increase in the range is expected to remain below $1910. Fibonacci's 61.8% corresponding to $1910 to $1106 is an important fluctuation range, and the lower limit of this range is still an important buying point.

5. Eth estimated leverage rebound

Eth estimated that the leverage ratio continued to strengthen in the short term, reaching 0.228 on July 14, almost the highest value in a month. It can be seen that investors' trading enthusiasm continues to rise, and the impact on prices is also increasing. Recently, the spot trading volume of eth has also remained relatively high, and the price fluctuation space has increased. Judging from the pressure level, the breakthrough of eth below $1240 is bound to be confirmed in the short term. Once it picks up, the fluctuation space will quickly open. Investors who do not hold a large amount of money can continue to hold money and wait for a clear trading signal.

Bitcoin Trading Strategy Breakdown: Celebrity Predictions and Classic Models All Fail, Only These Four Indicators Remain

Analysis of Bitcoin Trading Strategies: Why Celebrity Forecasts and Classic Models Fail, Leaving Only These Four Reliable Indicators This analysis examines the failure of common Bitcoin prediction methods and identifies four reliable indicators for constructing a trading strategy. The author reviewed all major BTC prediction approaches from 2017-2025, categorizing them into three groups: celebrity price targets (consistently over-optimistic), analytical models like Stock-to-Flow (broken post-2022), and on-chain signals. The key finding is that more data often creates confusion, not clarity. The strategy discards unreliable elements: celebrity predictions (incentivized to be extreme), pure models (invalidated by post-ETF market changes), and the Fear & Greed Index used alone (too many false signals). Four reliable indicators were selected: 1. **MVRV Z-Score:** Accurately identifies cycle bottoms when entering its green zone (e.g., 2018, 2020, 2022). Note: Its ability to call tops is now ineffective post-2024. 2. **SOPR (28-day MA):** Consistently signals bottoms when below 1.0, indicating holders are selling at a loss. 3. **ETF Net Flow:** A crucial post-2024 metric showing institutional momentum (e.g., sustained inflows = buying). 4. **Macro Liquidity (Fed policy & M2):** Sets the overall directional bias (e.g., bullish during easing cycles). The core strategy involves waiting for a multi-signal共振 (resonance). For example, a bottom signal requires MVRV in the green zone + SOPR < 1.0. A top signal requires overheated on-chain data + sustained ETF outflows. Macro policy sets the overall direction. The Fear & Greed Index is only used as a weighted confirmatory signal, never alone. Action is only taken when three or more indicators align. The author automated this into a monitoring system that sends Telegram alerts only when signals trigger. As of the article's date (April 15, 2026), the system showed a strong bottom signal: extreme fear (F&G=12), MVRV in the buy zone, and SOPR < 1.0. The only contrary signal was weak ETF flows. Historically, such triple on-chain共振 has preceded 100%+ returns. The conclusion emphasizes building a personal framework over relying on external predictions, allowing for iterative improvement and customization based on individual risk tolerance.
