Abstract

Bitcoin's Weak Bounce Fails to Mask Correction Trend; HYPE Top Signals Warn of Short-Term Risks | Invited Analysis Core Weekly View: Bitcoin's daily chart structure has weakened. The key question is whether its short-term rebound can effectively break above the upper boundary of the descending channel. Has HYPE's seven-wave advance reached its conclusion? This analysis systematically examines the current market structure across multiple timeframes and outlines operational strategies for the week. **Bitcoin (BTC) Analysis:** The daily chart shows BTC trading within a long-term rising channel (yellow) since February but has recently broken below its midline, indicating structural weakness. It is currently confined within a short-term descending channel (blue) originating from the May 6 high. The ongoing bounce appears to be a weak technical correction targeting the blue channel's upper rail (approx. $75,000-$76,000). The 4-hour chart reveals a complex 10-segment corrective structure from the May high, containing two downward pivot zones (Central D and E). The current rebound (segment 36-37) is expected to face resistance in the $75,000-$76,000 area. A failure to break above could lead to a resumption of the downtrend, testing support at $69,500-$70,500 and potentially $65,000. **BTC Weekly Strategy:** The price is currently below the "Bull-Bear Channel," placing it in a technically weak zone. The core focus is on the test of the $75,000-$76,000 resistance and $69,500-$70,500...

This Week's Core: Bitcoin's daily structure weakens; can the short-term rebound effectively break above the upper rail of the descending channel? Has HYPE's seven-segment rally reached its endpoint? The following analysis systematically reviews the current market structure from multiple timeframes and outlines mid- and short-term trading strategies for this week, for reference.

Summary of This Week's Core Trading Views:

• BTC multi-timeframe trend structure analysis. (Details in Part 1)

• BTC price outlook and mid-/short-term trading strategies for this week. (Details in Part 2)

• HYPE hourly timeframe trend structure analysis. (Details in Part 3)

• HYPE price outlook and short-term trading strategies for this week. (Details in Part 4)

Market Validation of Last Week's Trading Strategies and Core Views:

• BTC short-term trading performance: Bitcoin completed one short-term short trade (1x leverage) last week, successfully achieving a return of approximately 5.07%. (Details in Table 1)

• Market validation of BTC price trend prediction: Last week's article indicated that Bitcoin would continue its consolidation and downward adjustment pattern, with the short-term strategy primarily focused on 'selling on rallies'. The current market movement validates our previous prediction.

I. Bitcoin Multi-Timeframe Trend Structure Analysis

1. BTC Daily Timeframe Trend Structure Analysis

Bitcoin _ Daily K-Line Chart:

Figure 1

Ascending Channel (Yellow): As shown in (Figure 1), since the low on February 6, 2026, Bitcoin has maintained a consolidation uptrend within an ascending channel. (Lower rail: line connecting the lows of February 6 and March 29; Upper rail: a line parallel to the lower rail drawn through the high of March 17)

Short-term Descending Channel (Blue): Since touching the high of $82,850 on May 6, Bitcoin has entered and is operating within a short-term descending channel. (Upper rail: line connecting the rally highs of May 14 and May 26; Lower rail: line connecting the correction lows of May 7 and May 23)

Based on the Ascending Channel (Yellow) analysis, the price has broken below the channel's midline and is seeking stronger support towards the lower rail.

Based on the Short-term Descending Channel (Blue) analysis, the price found brief support upon reaching the channel's lower rail (approximately $72,500) and is currently in a period of weak rebound towards the channel's upper rail.

Comprehensive Judgment: From a technical structure perspective, Bitcoin is facing the dual influence of long and short-term channels. The current rebound is primarily a correction for short-term oversold conditions, targeting the upper rail of the short-term descending channel (Blue). However, as the price has broken below the midline of the ascending channel (Yellow), the overall technical structure has weakened. It is expected that after the rebound concludes, the price will most likely revert to the previous downtrend and further test the support strength of the ascending channel's lower rail.

2. In-depth Analysis of BTC Hourly Timeframe Trend Structure: (Using the 4-hour chart as the analysis timeframe)

Bitcoin _ 4-hour K-Line Chart

Figure 2

1. As shown in (Figure 2), from the high of $82,850 on May 6 to the ongoing adjustment, the 4-hour chart reveals a detailed subdivision into a total of 10 segments of adjustment structure: from "Segment 27-28" to "Segment 36-37". This includes two descending pivots (zhongshu):

• Pivot D: Formed by the overlapping of segments 28-29, 29-30, and 30-31.

• Pivot E: Formed by the overlapping of segments 32-33, 33-34, and 34-35.

2. From the 4-hour trend structure perspective, the market is currently undergoing the rebound of segment 36-37. If the price faces resistance and falls back after rebounding to the $75,000~$76,000 area, failing to form an effective breakout, the market is highly likely to continue its previous pattern of consolidation and decline, testing the support strength around $69,500~$70,500.

II. Bitcoin Price Outlook and Trading Strategies for This Week

1. BTC Price Trend Outlook for This Week:

This week's core view: Focus on the test results of the resistance area at $75,000~$76,000 and the support area at $69,500~$70,500 by both bulls and bears.

2. Core Resistance Levels:

• First Resistance Area: $75,000~$76,000 region (near the lower rail of Pivot E)

• Second Resistance Area: $78,500~$79,500 region (near the upper/lower rails of the two pivots)

3. Core Support Levels:

• First Support Level: $69,500~$70,500 region (previous important support level)

• Second Support Level: Around $65,000 (previous important support level)

4. Trading Strategies for This Week (Excluding Impact of Unexpected News)

1. Mid-term Strategy:

Bitcoin _ Daily K-Line Chart: (Position Monitoring Model)

Figure 3

Position Monitoring Model: As shown in (Figure 3), the price has fallen below the "Bull-Bear Channel", entering a technically weak area. This week, focus on its retest of the Bull-Bear Channel (approximately the $75,000~$76,000 region). If the price shows signs of stalling, encountering resistance, and falling back after rebounding to this level, initiating a mid-term short position layout will begin. To control risk, the initial position can be set below 30% of the total capital; subsequently, after the price breaks below the lower rail of the ascending channel (Yellow), the mid-term position can be increased to around 60%.

2. Short-term Strategy: Utilize 30% of capital, set stop-loss points, and look for 'spread' trading opportunities based on support and resistance levels. (Use the 30-minute/60-minute chart as the operational timeframe).

3. In short-term trading, to dynamically respond to the complex evolution of the market, we have pre-formulated two specific operational plans: Plan A/B.

Plan A: Rebound Meets Resistance, Sell High.

• Entry: When the price rebounds to the $75,000~$76,000 area and encounters resistance, combined with a top signal from the quantitative model, a short position of less than 30% can be established.

• Risk Control: Initial stop-loss set above $77,000.

• Exit: Gradually close the position to take profits when the price adjusts near important support levels combined with model signals.

Plan B: Effectively Breaks Support, Follow the Trend Short.

• Entry: When the price effectively breaks below the support area of $69,500~$70,500 combined with a model top signal, a short position of less than 30% can be established.

• Risk Control: Initial stop-loss set above $72,000.

• Exit: Gradually close the position to take profits when the price falls to important support levels combined with model signals.

III. HYPE Hourly Timeframe Trend Structure Analysis:

HYPE_4-hour K-Line Chart

Figure 4

1. As shown in (Figure 4), on the 4-hour timeframe, since the low of $38.14 on May 14, HYPE has clearly constructed a seven-segment structure (i.e., 40-41 to 46-47) including a "rising pivot". Segments 43-44, 44-45, and 45-46 overlap with each other, forming the "rising pivot".

2. Last week's review warned: Due to the momentum top divergence state at "Endpoint 45", coupled with the top warning signal from the "Spread Trading Model", a resonance formed. Therefore, the probability of forming a short-term high here was significant. Market movement confirmed this judgment: the price adjusted from "Endpoint 45" ($64.75) to "Endpoint 46" ($56.30), with a maximum decline of 13.05%.

3. Currently, comparing the pivot exit segment (46-47) with the entry segment (42-43), its upward momentum appears weak, constituting a high probability of potential "momentum divergence".

4. Analysis based on our self-built "Spread Trading Model" shows that "Endpoint 47" has triggered a strong top warning signal (red dot + white dot).

5. In summary, if the price forms a topping signal at "Endpoint 47" while the "momentum divergence" signal remains valid, the probability of this point becoming the phase endpoint of the rally since "Endpoint 40" will significantly increase. Subsequent price action needs to focus on the test results of the key area between $62.5 and $64.57.

IV. HYPE Price Outlook and Short-term Trading Strategies for This Week

1. HYPE Price Trend Outlook for This Week:

This week's core HYPE view:

• Observe whether "momentum divergence" is established when "Endpoint 47" issues a clear topping signal.

• If this phenomenon occurs and the subsequent price effectively breaks below the support area of $62.5 to $64.57, it can be considered that "Endpoint 47" has become the endpoint of the uptrend since the low on May 14.

2. HYPE Short-term Trading Strategies for This Week: (Buy on Support)

This week's HYPE short-term trading should follow the strategy of "buying on dips, avoiding chasing rallies". The core is to observe the test results of the price retracement on the $62.5 to $64.75 area:

Strategy One: Test Long on Support Area Stabilization

If the price retraces to this area, shows signs of stopping the decline and stabilizing, and is combined with bottom signals triggered by both major models, consider a light long position test. The position must be controlled below 30%, with strict stop-loss discipline.

Strategy Two: Support Fails, Transitioning to a Larger Correction

If the price effectively breaks below this area, the short-term correction will upgrade to a larger-scale (e.g., daily timeframe) adjustment, extending its duration and space. The downward target initially looks at the $54 to $56.3 area.

V. Bitcoin Trade Review

1. Short-term Trade Review: (See Table 1)

We strictly followed the operational plan, based on trading signals issued by our self-built "Spread Trading Model" and "Momentum Quantitative Model", and completed one short-term (short) trade last week, achieving a profit of 5.07%.

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

Table 1

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

• Entry Strategy:

a. When the price rebounded near $78,000 and showed resistance signals, the K-line formed a 'top reversal' bearish pattern;

b. The "Spread Trading Model" triggered a top warning signal (white dot);

c. The "Momentum Quantitative Model" issued a momentum top divergence signal.

Therefore, we established a 30% short position at $77,449.

• Exit Strategy:

a. When the price fell near $73,000 and issued a stopping decline signal, the K-line formed a 'bottom reversal' pattern;

b. The "Spread Trading Model" triggered a strong bottom warning signal (red dot + white dot), forming a bottom resonance signal with the "Momentum Quantitative Model".

Therefore, we closed all positions near $73,519.

• Summary: This trade successfully achieved a profit of approximately 5.07%.

VI. 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 cost 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 the price makes, move the stop-loss up by 1% accordingly, dynamically protecting and locking in profits.

Related Questions

QBased on the analysis, what are the key resistance levels for Bitcoin (BTC) this week?

AThe key resistance levels for Bitcoin this week are the first resistance zone at 75,000~76,000 USD (near the lower rail of Central E) and the second resistance zone at 78,500~79,500 USD (near the upper and lower rails of the two central structures).

QWhat technical condition suggests HYPE may be reaching a top in its current uptrend?

AHYPE shows a potential 'momentum divergence' on the 4-hour chart, where the momentum of the central breakout segment (46-47) appears weaker than the initial entry segment (42-43). Furthermore, the proprietary 'Spread Trading Model' has triggered a strong top warning signal (red dot + white dot) at 'endpoint 47', increasing the probability of a significant short-term top.

QWhat are the two main short-term operational plans (A and B) outlined for Bitcoin trading?

APlan A: 'Sell on rallies upon encountering resistance.' Open a short position of less than 30% when the price rebounds and faces resistance in the 75,000~76,000 USD zone, with a stop-loss above 77,000 USD. Plan B: 'Sell on a breakdown of support.' Open a short position of less than 30% when the price effectively breaks below the 69,500~70,500 USD support zone, with a stop-loss above 72,000 USD.

QWhat was the profit from last week's Bitcoin short trade, and what signals triggered the entry and exit?

ALast week's Bitcoin short trade yielded a profit of approximately 5.07%. The entry was triggered at 77,449 USD due to: price resistance near 78,000 USD forming a 'top-fractal' bearish candlestick pattern, the 'Spread Trading Model' giving a top warning (white dot), and the 'Momentum Quantification Model' showing a bearish momentum divergence. The exit at 73,519 USD was triggered by a 'bottom-fractal' pattern near 73,000 USD and a strong bottom resonance signal from both the 'Spread Trading Model' (red+white dots) and the 'Momentum Quantification Model'.

QWhat is the core strategy recommended for HYPE's short-term trading this week, and what is the key support area to watch?

AThe core short-term strategy for HYPE this week is to 'buy on dips and avoid chasing rallies.' Traders should observe the price test of the key support area between 62.5 and 64.75 USD. Strategy 1 is to attempt a light long position (under 30%) if the price finds support and stabilizes in this zone with confirming bottom signals from the models. Strategy 2 warns that an effective break below this support area would likely lead to a larger-scale (e.g., daily chart) correction towards the 54-56.3 USD zone.

The Midlife Crisis of Crypto GPs: No PMF, No Next Check from LPs

The article "The Midlife Crisis of Crypto GPs: No PMF, No Next LP Check" analyzes the shifting crypto fundraising landscape. It argues the era of selling grand visions to LPs is over; GPs must now offer products with clear Product-Market Fit (PMF). The author categorizes crypto fundraising products into three types: Primary (VC funds), Liquid (trading strategies), and CeFi/DeFi Native Yield. This summary focuses on the Primary market. Key points include: * **Market Shift:** LPs are impatient, demand immediate returns, and are skeptical of future promises. The "easy money" narrative has faded. * **GP Value Erosion:** LP learning curves have shortened (aided by AI), reducing the value of a GP's basic "crypto knowledge." Superior judgment is now rare. * **Weakened LP Motivations:** Traditional reasons for LPs to invest in crypto VC funds (capturing industry beta, gaining access, leveraging GP judgment) have weakened due to new products like ETFs and increased LP sophistication. * **Surviving in Primary:** The primary market will likely persist for: 1) large funds in endowment mandates treating it as a lottery ticket, 2) family offices/HNWIs using proprietary capital, 3) a few funds with proven recent outperformance, and 4) funds with strong ecosystem "deal-making" capabilities. * **Conclusion:** For most GPs, rebuilding trust requires starting over in a niche, demonstrating alpha-generating ability, or providing concrete value/services to LPs.

Crypto GPs' Midlife Crisis: No PMF, No LP's Next Check

The article "The Midlife Crisis of Crypto GPs: No PMF, No LP's Next Check" analyzes the shifting crypto fundraising landscape. It argues that the era of LPs funding vague "vision" is over; GPs must now offer products with clear Product-Market Fit (PMF) to secure capital. The market has matured. LPs, disillusioned by the last cycle's failures and wary of long lock-up periods, now demand tangible, near-term returns rather than speculative narratives. The proliferation of accessible crypto ETFs and other liquid products has reduced the need for VC blind pools as an entry point. The author categorizes crypto fundraising products into three types: Primary (VC funds, with blind pools or clear pipelines), Liquid (alpha/beta, directional/market-neutral strategies), and CeFi/DeFi Native Yield (crypto-specific mechanisms like staking, farming). Focusing on the Primary market, the piece details why traditional LP rationales for investing in crypto VCs have weakened: easier beta access via ETFs, diminished "access" and "judgement" premiums as LPs build internal teams, and a widespread lack of proven superior returns from GPs. Ultimately, only specific players are likely to remain at the primary VC table: large funds with access to patient endowment capital, family offices/HNWIs investing proprietary capital, the few funds with demonstrable excess returns from the last cycle, and those with clear "deal-making" or ecosystem resource advantages. For others, the path forward is to rebuild trust by proving alpha-generation capability in a niche or providing concrete, valuable services.

The Age of Decoupling Has Arrived: Bitcoin is No Longer the Sole Compass of Crypto

The era of the cryptocurrency market moving in lockstep with Bitcoin is ending, as the industry splits into two distinct asset categories: endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous assets, like Bitcoin, derive value purely from the crypto market's cycles. Their narratives swing between being "interstellar money" in bull markets and "digital collectibles" in bear markets. Exogenous assets, however, are nominally crypto but operate with independent value drivers. Examples include: * **Venice:** An AI inference service using tokens for payments; its consumer-AI business model is decoupled from crypto price swings. * **Figure:** A fintech lender using blockchain to speed up loan approvals; its core value is in credit, not crypto. * **Stablecoin firms like BVNK:** Acquired by traditional finance giants (Mastercard, Stripe), their growth is tied to payment infrastructure, not market cycles. Hybrid projects like **Hyperliquid** (a decentralized exchange) show a shift, with a growing share of non-crypto trading (e.g., prediction markets). This divergence is fundamental. Endogenous assets remain highly correlated to Bitcoin, similar to gold miners to gold. Exogenous assets are evolving to have their own fundamentals, like the weak correlation between gold and the S&P 500. This changes investment analysis. Evaluating exogenous assets requires traditional fundamental research—assessing user bases, unit economics, and moats—more akin to fintech investing than charting Bitcoin. Promising exogenous sectors include: on-chain exchanges/brokers, AI-crypto fusion, privacy-focused digital banks, lending (institutional/private credit), stablecoins/real-world asset tokenization, payment rails, and non-financial crypto-consumer products. Currently, investing via equity is often safer than via tokens, as token value accrual mechanisms need further regulatory and industry development (e.g., the CLARITY Act). Nonetheless, the core trend is clear: crypto market drivers are diversifying from a single factor (Bitcoin) to multiple fundamentals, ending the era of uniform market moves.
