Bitcoin Bears Press On, Can the $60,000 Defense Line Be Held? | Invited Analysis

Odaily星球日报Published on 2026-03-30Last updated on 2026-03-30

Abstract

This market analysis provides a technical outlook for Bitcoin (BTC) and HYPE, focusing on the week of March 30 to April 5. **Key Market Outlook:** The dominant bearish trend for Bitcoin continues, with the price testing a critical support level near the lower boundary of an ascending channel originating from the February 6 low of ~$60,000. A break below this $65,000-$66,000 support zone could lead to a further decline towards the $60,000-$62,500 area. Resistance levels are identified at $69,500-$72,000 and $74,500-$76,000. The analysis maintains that the current movement is part of a larger corrective pattern (C-wave), with a potential C-3 decline if $60,000 is breached. **Trading Strategies:** * **BTC Medium-Term:** A 60% short position (1x leverage), initiated at ~$89,000, remains open with a ~24.76% profit. It will be closed if the price breaks above a key resistance band. * **BTC Short-Term:** Two scenarios are proposed using 30% capital: (A) selling into rallies near resistance levels, or (B) shorting on a breakdown below the $65,000-$66,000 support. Strict stop-losses and a trailing profit protection method are emphasized. * **HYPE Short-Term:** The token shows an independent bullish structure. The strategy is to "follow the trend and buy on dips," focusing on the $36-$38 support zone for long entries (30% capital, 1x leverage), while acknowledging its performance is still tied to Bitcoin's overall trend. **Performance Recap (Previous Week):** * A BTC short-t...

Last week's market performance was generally in line with expectations—Bitcoin maintained weak consolidation near the lower rail of the rising channel, with the bearish trend remaining dominant; HYPE, on the other hand, completed its confirmation within the $36~38 support zone, continuing its independent upward logic.

This week's report will further break down the current price structure, update market forecasts and operational plans, and provide a complete review of last week's trading execution.

Summary of This Week's Core Trading Views:

• HYPE's market forecast and short-term trading strategy for this week. (Details in Part One)

• In-depth analysis of HYPE's current price structure (hourly level). (Details in Part Two)

• BTC's market forecast and medium- to short-term trading strategies for this week. (Details in Part Three)

• BTC trading review. (Details in Part Four)

Market Validation of Last Week's Core Views:

• HYPE Short-term Trading Results: HYPE short-term long position (1x leverage) was executed last week, achieving a gain of approximately 5.25%. (Details in Table 1)

• BTC Short-term Trading Results: Bitcoin short-term short position (1x leverage) was executed last week, achieving a gain of approximately 6.17%. (Details in Table 2)

• BTC Medium-term Trading Results Validation: Bitcoin followed the established medium-term strategy last week, continuing to hold the short position opened at $89,000 (1x leverage). As of last week's close (~$66,962), the profit is approximately 24.76%, with a maximum profit of ~32.58% during the period.

• BTC Market Forecast Validation: In last week's article, we clearly stated that the market would maintain a consolidation and adjustment pattern, observing the battle between bulls and bears near the channel's lower rail (formed from the February 6th low). The current market performance validates our previous forecast.

I. HYPE: Market Forecast and Short-term Trading Strategy

1. HYPE Market Forecast for This Week: We believe the current market structure still maintains a daily uptrend. The price is currently in a pullback confirmation phase after breaking the Wave I peak (the high of $38.41 on February 3rd). This week, pay close attention to the effectiveness of the $36~38 support zone. If the pullback confirmation is effective, the market will continue its upward trend.

2. HYPE Short-term Trading Strategy for This Week:

• Based on the forecast of an upward structure, adhere to the principle of "follow the trend, buy on dips".

• Use the 30-minute/60-minute chart as the operational cycle, strictly adhere to stop-loss discipline; utilize 30% of the position, and look for "spread" opportunities based on support and resistance levels.

3. HYPE Upside Risk Warning: Although HYPE's trend is independent characteristics, it cannot completely detach from Bitcoin's macro environment. If Bitcoin's trend shows a significant adjustment later, it may affect HYPE's rebound momentum.

II. HYPE: Short-term Trading Review and Price Structure Analysis

1. HYPE Short-term Trading Review (1x Leverage): (03.23~03.29)

We strictly followed the plan and, combined with trading signals captured by our self-built Spread Trading Model and Momentum Quant Model, executed a short-term (long) operation on HYPE last week, successfully profiting 5.25%.

• HYPE Short-term Trade Details Summary: (Leverage*1x)

Table 1

• Opening Decision: This opening decision (see Figure 1) was based on meeting three conditions for an upward move. First, we judged that the probability was high that the previous hourly adjustment ended near Endpoint 34 (~$36.79); second, the Spread Quant Model triggered a strong bottom signal (Red Dot + White Dot); third, the Momentum Quant Model issued a bottom divergence signal. Accordingly, we executed a 30% long position opening at $38.23.

• Closing Decision: Based on the Spread Quant Model triggering a top bearish signal (White Dot); the Momentum Model issuing a top divergence signal; and the candlestick combination forming a "strong top分型" signal. These three signals formed a technical resonance, so we executed a full close near $40.24.

• Trade Summary: This operation successfully profited approximately 5.25%.

2. In-depth Analysis of HYPE's Current Price Structure (Using 1-hour as Analysis Period)

As shown in (Figure 2), reviewing HYPE's hourly movement between the 16th and 22nd, the price successfully built a下跌中枢 (Zhongshu - declining中枢 C). We initially predicted the low might form near Endpoint 32 (~$37.52), but the actual low appeared at the lower Endpoint 34 (~$36.79), about $0.73 lower than predicted.

• HYPE Last Week's Hourly Internal Structure Breakdown: (03.23~03.29)

a、As shown in (Figure 2), starting from Endpoint 34, HYPE's price action last week evolved into a complex震荡 structure consisting of 8 segments: 34-35, 35-36, 36-37, 37-38, 38-39, 39-40, 40-41, 41-42. As of the time of analysis, segment 41-42 was ongoing.

b、Segment 34-35 constitutes the rising structure.

c、Segments 35-36, 36-37, 37-38, 38-39, 39-40, 40-41, 41-42 constitute the adjustment structure. Among them, segments 36-37, 37-38, 38-39, 39-40, 40-41 overlap with each other,共同构建一个下跌中枢 (Zhongshu - declining中枢 D).

d、The market is currently running the离开段 (exit segment, 41-42). As shown in (Figure 2), compared to the进入段 (entry segment, 35-36), the exit segment has shown a momentum背驰 (divergence) signal. If the divergence signal persists after the exit segment concludes, the probability of the price moving upward is high.

III. Bitcoin: This Week's Market Forecast and Trading Strategy​

1. In-depth Analysis of Bitcoin's Current Price Structure (Using 4-hour as Analysis Period)

• Based on the price action after the February 6th low (~$60,000).

• Maintain the core analytical framework from previous reports: In the February 16th Weekly Review, we clearly stated that the rally starting from the February 6th low was, in nature, a C-2 wave oversold rebound within a larger C-wave adjustment, to be followed by a C-3 wave adjustment.

• Conditions for C-3 Wave: If the Bitcoin price breaks below the February 6th low (~$60,000), the C-3 adjustment wave is confirmed.

• Current BTC Market Interpretation: As shown in (Figure 3), on the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin effectively broke below the short-term rising trendline formed from the February 24th low last week. It has fallen near the lower rail of the rising channel formed since the rebound from the February 6th low and is consolidating narrowly around this level. If this level is lost, the market may retest the $60,000 level.

• In-depth Analysis of BTC Hourly Structure: As shown in (Figure 3), on the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin's pullback from the high around $76,000 on March 17th evolved into a 5-segment adjustment structure: 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17, 17-18. Segments 14-15, 15-16, 16-17 form a下跌中枢 (Zhongshu - declining中枢 B). The subsequent离开段 (exit segment, 17-18) has fallen near the rising channel's lower rail. Currently, only the Spread Trading Model has triggered a bottom预警 signal (White Dot) here. Therefore, the price shows weak consolidation at this level, repairing the oversold condition of the 4-hour technical indicators.

2. Core View This Week: Maintain consolidation and adjustment pattern, observe the battle between bulls and bears near the channel's lower rail (from the Feb 6th low).

3. Core Resistance Levels:

• First Resistance Zone: $69,500~$72,000 area (Previous consolidation range)

• Second Resistance Zone: $74,500~$76,000 area (Near the November 2025 low)

4. Core Support Levels:

• First Support Level: $65,000~$66,000 area (Previous important support area)

• Second Support Level: $60,000~$62,500 area (Near the February 6th low)

• Third Support Level: Around $57,400

5. Trading Strategy for This Week (Excluding Impact of Sudden News):(03.30~04.05)

1、Medium-term Strategy:

Bitcoin _ Daily Candlestick Chart: (Position Monitoring Model)

Figure 4

Position Monitoring Model: As shown in (Figure 4), the price is currently below the Bull-Bear Ribbon (yellow), and the bearish trend continues. Following the strategy rules, we continue to hold the 60% short position established at $89,000 (January 28th). If the price反弹 effectively breaks above and stabilizes above the Bull-Bear Ribbon, the medium-term position will be fully closed.

2、Short-term Strategy: Utilize 30% of the position, set stop-loss points, and look for "spread" opportunities based on support and resistance levels. (Use 30-minute/60-minute as the operational cycle).

3、Based on the forecast of a medium-term bearish market trend, the current operating principle should be "follow the trend and go short". To dynamically respond to the market's complex evolution and combined with signals from our self-built trading models, we will formulate two short-term operational plans, A and B:

Plan A: Sell on rallies upon encountering resistance.

• Open Position: When the price反弹至 the $69,500~$72,000 area and triggers resistance signals combined with model top signals, a 30% short position can be established.

• Risk Control: Initial stop-loss for short positions set above $74,500.

• Close Position: When the price falls near important support levels combined with model signals, gradually close the position to take profits.

Plan B: Follow the breakout with a short position.

• Open Position: When the price effectively breaks below the $65,000~$66,000 area combined with model top signals,顺势 establish a 30% short position.

• Risk Control: Initial stop-loss for short positions set above $67,500.

• Close Position: When falling to support levels combined with model signals, gradually close the position to take profits.

IV. Bitcoin: Trading Review

1. Short-term Trading Review: (See Table 2)

We strictly followed the operational plan and, based on trading signals issued by our self-built Spread Trading Model and Momentum Quant Model, completed one short-term (short) operation last week, achieving a trading profit of 6.17%.

1、Bitcoin Short-term Trade Details Summary: (Leverage*1x)

Table 2

2、Short-term Trade Review: (See Figure 5)

• Open Position: When the price反弹至 near $72,000 encountered resistance, the Spread Trading Model simultaneously triggered a top预警 signal (White Dot), forming a selling resonance with the Momentum Quant Model. Based on this signal叠加, we established a 15% short position at $70,777.

• Close Position: When the price fell near $65,000 and stabilized, and the Spread Trading Model triggered a strong bottom预警 signal (Red Dot + White Dot), we therefore fully closed the position near $66,408.

• Summary: This trade successfully profited approximately 6.17%.

Figure 5 (Short-term Trade Illustration)

2. Medium-term Trading Review:

Medium-term Strategy: Continue to hold the 60% short position established near $89,000 (January 28th). As of last week's post-market close (closing price ~$66,962), the profit is approximately 24.76%.

V. Special Notes:​​

1. When opening a position: Immediately set the initial stop-loss level.

2. When profit reaches 1%: Move the stop-loss to the entry price (breakeven point) to ensure capital safety.

3. When profit reaches 2%​​: Move the stop-loss to the 1% profit level.

4. Continuous tracking: Thereafter, for every additional 1% profit, move the stop-loss up by 1% accordingly, dynamically protecting and locking in profits.

The Shutdown of Claude Mythos Revealed the True Cost of Renting AI to Me

The sudden shutdown of Claude Mythos this week starkly highlights a critical, often overlooked risk for founders: when your core capability relies entirely on someone else's platform, your fate is not in your own hands. The key question becomes: who truly owns the intelligence your product depends on? For years, the debate around open-source models focused on cost. Now, the evidence is clear: fine-tuned open-source models can achieve frontier-level quality for specific, mission-critical tasks at a fraction of the cost. However, the deeper issue is control. Relying on a third-party API is like renting; it works until the landlord changes the rules, raises the rent, or asks you to leave—as Mythos experienced. The lesson is not to stop using frontier models—they are incredible infrastructure. The goal is ownership. Ownership means starting with a powerful open-source model and shaping it around what makes your company unique: your data, workflows, domain expertise, and definition of "good." Over time, the model becomes less generic and more reflective of your business, creating durable value. The optimistic conclusion is that AI's future doesn't hinge on one superior model. There is no single frontier. The frontier includes proprietary models, models fine-tuned on company-specific knowledge, specialized models for narrow problems, and intelligent routers orchestrating model ensembles. The most interesting development is not models getting smarter, but intelligence becoming increasingly customizable. The winning companies will be those that transform intelligence into a unique, owned asset. Looking ahead, the vision is not one model dominating all, but many teams owning the part of the frontier that matters most to them.

Tiger Research: U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve - Should the Market Be Happy or Disappointed?

Tiger Research analyzes the evolution of U.S. legislative efforts regarding a strategic Bitcoin reserve, concluding the market impact is limited in the short term but potentially positive long-term. The core event was a March 2025 executive order by former President Trump, which designated confiscated Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and promised not to sell existing holdings (approx. 190k BTC). As it contained no mandate to purchase new Bitcoin, the market reacted negatively, with prices dropping 5.7%. Legislative history shows a significant retreat from initial ambitions. The 2024 "BITCOIN Act" proposed mandatory purchases of 1 million BTC over five years. Reintroduced in 2025, it stalled due to high fiscal costs, concerns over dollar hegemony, and opposition from the Treasury Secretary. The current frontrunner, the 2026 "American Retirement and Monetary Advancement (ARMA) Act," is a compromise. It lacks any purchase requirement, instead focusing on consolidating existing government-held Bitcoin and legally prohibiting its sale for at least 20 years. While ARMA has higher passage odds due to bipartisan support and no purchase mandate, its immediate market effect is neutral. It eliminates potential government selling pressure but creates no new demand. The long-term significance is that formally establishing Bitcoin as a national reserve asset in law could later reignite debates on mandatory purchases. Therefore, the path to a government buyer is longer than initially priced by the market, but the directional narrative remains intact.

US Stock Market Trend (June 16): SpaceX Rises 42% in Two Days, New Fed Chairman Takes Office Today

**U.S. Stocks Trend (June 16): SpaceX Soars 42% in Two Days, New Fed Chair Takes Office Today** Markets surged on Monday following former President Trump's social media announcement of a completed U.S.-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pending a June 19 signing. The news triggered a broad risk-on rally: oil prices crashed, tech stocks soared, bond yields fell, and defensive sectors lagged. **Market Performance:** The Nasdaq jumped 3.07%, led by semiconductor stocks like Micron (+9.2%). The S&P 500 gained 1.65%, and the Dow rose 0.92% to a record high. However, the Russell 2000 small-cap index underperformed (+0.72%). SpaceX continued its hot streak, rising another 5% pre-market after disclosures of large buys by an Australian billionaire and Cathie Wood's ARK. Boeing also rallied on the transportation optimism. Conversely, energy stocks like Chevron fell over 3% on the oil price plunge, with other defensive sectors also selling off. The day's action showed a clear rotation of funds from energy/defensive plays into AI and tech narratives. **Macro & Outlook:** The VIX fear index fell 8.37%. Treasury yields declined, and WTI crude dropped over 5%. Attention now shifts to a packed schedule: the Bank of Japan is widely expected to hike rates to 1.0% on Tuesday. The Fed's June meeting concludes Wednesday, marking new Chair Wash's debut. While rates are expected to hold, his tone on stubborn inflation and the "dot plot" will be crucial for gauging the 2024 rate path. The formal Iran deal signing is set for Friday. **Trend Perspective:** While the peace deal is a genuine positive, Monday's explosive rally may have gotten ahead of itself, pricing in a swift resolution to inflation concerns. The shortened trading week faces a triple test: BoJ tightening, the Fed's policy stance, and deal implementation details. Tech and semiconductors, which led the surge, remain vulnerable to any disappointment from these key events. The real price discovery begins with the central banks' communications this week.

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
