Bitcoin Consolidates for Next Move, HYPE Restarts Bearish Trend | Guest Analysis

Odaily星球日报Published on 2026-07-20Last updated on 2026-07-20

Abstract

Bitcoin fluctuates around the key resistance zone of $65,700-$67,300 after rebounding from the $57,820 low. A break above this area could shift the short-term structure to a stronger bullish logic; otherwise, a daily-level correction may resume. The medium-term outlook remains bearish, with a 20% short position held. Short-term trading involves 30% capital for price differential opportunities, with prepared plans (A: shorting near resistance; B: testing long near $57,820 support) based on model signals. A previous short-term long trade yielded a 3.45% profit. HYPE continues its correction from the $72.97 high, with focus on the $62-$63.5 resistance area. The 4-hour chart analysis suggests the downtrend is not over, and new lows below $58.16 are likely. The strategy is to consider light short positions (under 30% allocation) if price rallies to the $62-$63.5 zone and shows reversal signals, with strict stop-loss discipline. General reminder: Always set initial stop-losses, move them to breakeven at +1% profit, and trail them to lock in gains. Market conditions change rapidly; this analysis is for personal trading log purposes only and not investment advice.

This week, Bitcoin continued its rebound above the low of $57,820, with the price approaching the critical resistance zone of $65,700~$67,300. The battle between bulls and bears has entered a white-hot stage—if the rebound is rejected and falls back within this zone, a daily-level correction may resume; if it breaks through effectively, the short-term structure will shift to a stronger bullish logic. HYPE extended its correction from the high of $72.97, with this week's focus on the battle outcome in the $62~$63.5 zone. The medium-term view remains bearish-dominated, while short-term operations should strictly follow model signals, dynamically switching between Plan A and B.

  • BTC Weekly Market Forecast & Medium/Short-term Trading Strategies (Detailed in Part 2)
  • HYPE Hourly Chart Structure Analysis (Detailed in Part 3)
  • HYPE Weekly Market Forecast & Short-term Trading Strategies (Detailed in Part 4)

Market Verification of Last Week's Trading Strategies & Core Views:

  • BTC Market Forecast Verification: Last week's article clearly stated that Bitcoin's daily chart entered a short-term consolidation pattern. The subsequent market movement confirmed our prediction.
  • BTC Short-term Trading Performance: One short-term long trade (1x leverage) on Bitcoin was completed last week, achieving a profit of approximately 3.45%. (Detailed in Part 5)
  • HYPE Market Forecast Verification: Last week's article clearly stated: If prices rebound early in the week but fail to break the previous high of $72.97, it would signal a reversal of the prior uptrend, indicating a daily-level correction starting from the high of $72.97. The current market movement is highly consistent with our judgment.

一、Bitcoin Multi-Timeframe Structure Analysis

1、Bitcoin Daily Chart Structure Analysis: (Based on post-May 6th price action)

Figure 1 Bitcoin Daily Candlestick Chart

1 As shown in (Figure 1): The corrective move starting from the May 6th high of $82,850 has formed a four-segment corrective structure on the daily chart: (0-1), (1-2), (2-3), (3-4).

2 After touching the low of $57,820 on July 1st, the market is currently in the (3-4) rebound segment. The rebound high has reached $65,600, with the price approaching the key resistance around $65,700. Currently, this rebound segment may not be over, and the recent high of $65,600 is likely not the terminal point "Endpoint 4".

3 If the (3-4) rebound segment shows clear signs of exhaustion and adjustment upon encountering resistance in the $65,700~$67,300 zone, then the first daily-level segment (i.e., wave a) of the rebound starting from the July 1st low of $57,820 may have concluded.

2、In-Depth Analysis of Bitcoin Hourly Chart Structure: (Using 4-hour as analysis cycle)

Figure 2 Bitcoin 4-Hour Candlestick Chart

1 In the 4-hour chart, the rebound from the July 1st low of $57,820 has clearly presented a seven-segment structure from (44-45) to (50-51). Among them: segments (45-46), (46-47), (47-48), (48-49), (49-50) overlap, forming a "five-segment" consolidation zone E.

2 Based on the current structure analysis, the price is currently in the (50-51) rebound segment.

  • If the price effectively breaks above the $65,700 resistance and the rebound continues, the probability of this segment upgrading into the breakout leg from the consolidation zone increases significantly. At that point, its momentum should be compared with the entry leg (44-45). If a momentum divergence forms between them when "Endpoint 51" terminates, the rebound starting from "Endpoint 44" (~$57,820) may end, with a high probability of a subsequent correction.
  • If the rebound fails to effectively break above the $65,700 resistance, the price is likely to remain in range-bound consolidation in the short term.

二、Bitcoin Weekly Market Forecast & Trading Strategies

1、BTC Weekly Market Forecast:

Core View for the Week: Focus on the test results when the price rebounds to the key resistance zone of $65,700~$67,300.

2、Core Resistance Levels:

  • First Resistance Zone: $65,700~$67,300 area (Previous significant resistance)
  • Second Resistance Zone: $69,500~$71,000 area (Previous significant resistance)

3、Core Support Levels:

  • First Support Level: Around $64,700 (Previous important support)
  • Second Support Zone: $60,950~$62,000 area (Previous important support)
  • Third Support Level: Around $57,820 (Previous important support)

4、Weekly Trading Strategies (Excluding sudden news impacts)

1 Medium-term Strategy:

Figure 3 Bitcoin Daily Candlestick Chart: (Position Monitoring Model)

Position Monitoring Model: As shown in (Figure 3), the current price has effectively broken below the "Bull-Bear Channel," confirming a shift to a bearish-dominated market structure.

  • Current medium-term bearish positions are maintained at around 20%.
  • If the price shows signs of exhaustion upon rebounding to the $65,700~$67,300 zone, combined with top signals from the proprietary quantitative model, consider increasing medium-term bearish positions to within 50%.

2 Short-term Strategy:

Utilize 30% of capital, set stop-losses, and look for "spread" trading opportunities based on support and resistance levels. (Using 30-minute/60-minute as the operation cycle)

3 In short-term operations, to dynamically respond to complex market changes, we have prepared two specific contingency plans: A and B.

Plan A: Tentative Short at Strong Resistance Zone

  • Entry: If the price encounters resistance upon rebounding to the $65,700~$67,300 zone, combined with top signals from the quantitative model, consider establishing a short position of around 30%.
  • Risk Control: Set an initial stop-loss.
  • Exit: Gradually close the position to realize profits when the price adjusts near important support levels, combined with model signals.

Plan B: Light Long Test at Strong Support Zone

  • Entry: After the price is rejected from the $65,700~$67,300 zone and falls back, if signs of stabilization appear above the previous low of $57,820, combined with bottom signals from the quantitative model, consider establishing a long position of around 30%.
  • Risk Control: Set an initial stop-loss.
  • Exit: Gradually close the position to realize profits when the price rebounds near important resistance levels, combined with model signals.

三、HYPE Hourly Chart Structure Analysis

Figure 4 HYPE 4-Hour Candlestick Chart

1. As shown in (Figure 4), the correction in HYPE starting from the July 7th high of $72.97 (Endpoint 61) can be subdivided into an eight-segment corrective structure on the 4-hour chart. Segments 62-63, 63-64, 64-65, 65-66, 66-67 overlap, forming a "five-segment" bearish consolidation zone.

2. Last week's review pointed out: When the market subsequently ran the (62-63) rebound segment, if "Endpoint 63" failed to break the previous high "Endpoint 61" ($72.97), it would mean the end of the daily uptrend from "Endpoint 54 to Endpoint 61," and the market would start a daily-level correction from "Endpoint 61." The market corrected as expected last week, falling from "Endpoint 63 to Endpoint 68," with a maximum decline of approximately 16.17%.

3. Based on the 4-hour chart analysis:

Comparing the momentum of the breakout leg (67-68) with the entry leg (61-62), the downward momentum of the breakout leg is significantly stronger than the former. This suggests a lower probability that "Endpoint 68" ($58.16) is the low of this correction. The market is currently in the (68-69) rebound segment, after which prices may potentially test new lows.

四、HYPE Weekly Market Forecast & Short-term Trading Strategy: (07.20~07.26)

1、HYPE Weekly Market Forecast:

1 Core Resistance Levels:

  • First Resistance: $62~$63.5 area
  • Second Resistance: $68~$69.5 area
  • Third Resistance: Around $72.97

2 Core Support Levels:

  • First Support: Around $58.16
  • Second Support Zone: $52~$55 area

Core HYPE View for the Week: Monitor the test results when the price rebounds to the $62~$63.5 zone.

2、HYPE Weekly Short-term Trading Strategy:

If the price shows clear adjustment signals upon rebounding to near $62~$63.5 or higher resistance areas, investors may consider entering light short positions. Strict stop-loss discipline is required, with position size controlled within 30%.

五、Bitcoin Short-term Trade Review

We strictly followed the operation plan and the trading signals issued by our proprietary "Spread Trading Model" and "Momentum Quantitative Model," completing one short-term (long) trade last week, achieving a total trading profit of approximately 3.45%.

1、Short-term Trade Record: (See Table 1)

Bitcoin Short-term Trade Details Summary: (Leverage ×1)

Table 1

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

Entry Strategy:

a. When the price adjusted above $61,000, signs of stabilization appeared, and the candlesticks formed a "bottom reversal" pattern.

b. The "Momentum Quantitative Model" formed a bullish divergence signal.

c. After the "Spread Trading Model" triggered a strong bottom warning signal (white dot + red dot), the signal band (orange-yellow) in the chart broke above the horizon line (purple-red), issuing a bottoming rebound signal.

Therefore, we established a 15% long position at $62,376.

Exit Strategy:

a. When the price showed signs of exhaustion upon rebounding near $65,700, forming a "top reversal" candlestick pattern.

b. After the "Spread Trading Model" continuously triggered top warning signals (white dot + green dot), the signal band (blue) in the chart broke below the skyline (green), forming a top resonance signal with the "Momentum Quantitative Model."

Therefore, we closed the entire position around $64,530.

Summary: This trade successfully yielded a profit of approximately 3.45%.

3、Short-term Trade Schematic

Figure 5 BTC 30-Minute Candlestick Chart: (Momentum Quantitative Model + Spread Trading Model)

六、Special Instructions:

  1. Upon Entry: Immediately set an initial stop-loss.
  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.

Related Questions

QAccording to the technical analysis, what is the key resistance zone for Bitcoin (BTC) this week, and what are the two potential market outcomes based on a test of this zone?

AThe key resistance zone for Bitcoin this week is $65,700–$67,300. If the price faces resistance and falls back in this area, a daily-level adjustment may resume. Conversely, if it breaks through this resistance effectively, the short-term structure will shift to a stronger bullish logic.

QWhat is the core trading strategy for HYPE this week as outlined in the article?

AThe core strategy for HYPE is to monitor the test result when the price rebounds to the $62–$63.5 area. If the price shows a clear reversal signal near this resistance zone (or a higher one), investors can consider opening a light short position with strict stop-loss discipline, keeping the position size within 30%.

QDescribe the two specific operational plans (Plan A and Plan B) prepared for Bitcoin's short-term trading.

APlan A (Tentative Short at Strong Resistance): If BTC price meets resistance in the $65,700–$67,300 zone and shows topping signals from the quantitative model, open a short position of about 30% with an initial stop-loss. Close the position for profit near important support levels combined with model signals. Plan B (Light Long at Strong Support): If the price falls back after testing the $65,700–$67,300 resistance and shows signs of stabilization above the previous low of $57,820, combined with quantitative model bottom signals, open a long position of about 30% with an initial stop-loss. Close the position for profit near important resistance levels combined with model signals.

QWhat was the profit percentage and main rationale for the Bitcoin short-term long trade conducted last week, as detailed in the trade review?

ALast week's Bitcoin short-term long trade achieved a profit of approximately 3.45%. The main rationale for opening the long position at $62,376 was: price stabilization above $61,000 forming a 'bottoming' candlestick pattern, a kinetic energy bottom divergence signal from the 'Dynamic Quantitative Model', and a strong bottom warning signal (white + red dots) from the 'Spread Trading Model' where the signal band broke above the baseline, indicating a potential rebound.

QWhat is the overall medium-term market structure view for Bitcoin based on the 'Position Monitoring Model' shown in Figure 3?

AAccording to the Position Monitoring Model (Figure 3), Bitcoin's price has effectively broken below the 'Bull-Bear Channel', confirming that the market structure has shifted to a bear-dominated pattern. Therefore, the medium-term view maintains a bearish-dominant mindset. A medium-term short position of about 20% is currently held, with consideration to increase it to within 50% if the price rebounds to the $65,700–$67,300 zone and shows signs of stagnation combined with proprietary quantitative model top signals.

Bernstein Analysis: Can the $142 Billion Long-Term Order Hold Up the Memory Cycle?

Bernstein revisits long-term agreements (LTAs) in the memory industry, highlighting new contracts with purchase commitments, minimum prices, and financial guarantees signed by Micron and SanDisk. These aim to provide an earnings floor for the coming years. Micron has 16 strategic customer agreements, with 14 representing approximately $100 billion in minimum revenue and about $22 billion in cash deposits/commitments. SanDisk has contracts for around $42 billion in minimum revenue and over $11 billion in guarantees. Combined, these ~$33 billion in guarantees make it more costly for major clients to walk away. However, Bernstein models that the potential revenue needing protection over 3-5 years is around $5.2 trillion. The existing guarantees thus cover only about 0.6% of that scale. While LTAs provide a cushion, they cannot fully shield profits in a severe downturn, as clients may still find it cheaper to breach contracts if spot prices fall deeply below floor prices. LTAs are most suitable for large, credit-worthy customers like U.S. cloud service providers with stable, high-volume AI infrastructure needs. Consumer segments (phones, PCs) and some Chinese clients are less likely to adopt them, leaving an estimated 30-50% of the DRAM/NAND market exposed to spot price volatility. AI demand (e.g., HBM for training, storage for inference) supports higher valuations and makes LTAs more attractive for locking in high-demand customers. Yet, Bernstein stresses that LTAs soften, but do not eliminate, the memory cycle. Their true test will come in the next downturn, revealing whether clients honor contracts and whether guarantees provide sufficient pain to maintain supplier discipline.

Dialogue with Jia Hang | Looking Back at Two Decades of Chinese Payment Going Global

**Summary: A Conversation with Jia Hang on Two Decades of China's Payment Globalization** Jia Hang, a veteran with over twenty years in payments, reflects on China's attempts to build a global payment network through three key phases: UnionPay (card networks), Alipay+ (digital wallets), and now, stablecoins. His journey began at UnionPay International, aiming to establish China's card network abroad. While successful in following Chinese tourists ("where Chinese go, UnionPay goes"), it struggled to achieve true global scale. The core lesson: card networks like Visa/Mastercard's unassailable advantage isn't just technical standards, but their deeply entrenched **governance and profit-sharing models** that create powerful network effects. Competing as the "same species" is nearly impossible. At Ant Group, he led Alipay+, a strategy to bypass card networks by interconnecting local e-wallets worldwide. While innovative, it faced a similar ceiling. Mobile QR payments and card swipes were essentially **the same species competing for the same pie**, lacking a disruptive value proposition for users or a sustainable new incentive model to replace the card networks' established flywheel. Today, at Singapore's DCS, Jia focuses on stablecoin-based payments. He argues stablecoins represent a fundamental shift. They are not competing with Visa for consumer payments but challenging the **traditional banking and account system for value movement**. Products like "U Cards" (stablecoin-linked payment cards) are transitional, leveraging existing card networks for acceptance while building new rails. The real potential lies in stablecoins enabling seamless, low-cost global value transfer, potentially reorganizing the financial infrastructure around **accounts rather than cards**. Jia believes stablecoin adoption for local retail payments, cross-border transactions, and as high-yield savings vehicles is becoming irreversible. This could gradually reduce reliance on traditional fiat channels, especially in regions with weak currencies or capital controls. The quest for the "next global payment network" continues, now centered on whether stablecoins can successfully bridge Web2 and Web3, establish new governance, and create compelling user value beyond mere cost reduction.

Circle's Stock Price Plunges 76%, Hong Kong Dollar Stablecoin Set to Launch Within Two Weeks

Circle's stock price has plunged approximately 76% from its 2023 peak, reflecting a major market revaluation. Despite this, Circle President Heath Tarbert emphasized the company's focus on long-term execution and its dominant position with USDC's $73 billion circulation across 34 blockchains. The competitive landscape is intensifying. A new consortium-backed stablecoin, Open USD, is attempting to challenge incumbents by sharing reserve yields with partners. More significantly, Visa's new stablecoin platform, initially supporting Open USD while also being compatible with USDC, could erode Circle's network effects. In response, Circle is expanding into real-world payments through partnerships like the one with Japan's JCB. Separately, Tether (USDT) faces a two-year compliance window under new U.S. regulations, requiring it to adjust its reserve composition away from assets like Bitcoin and loans towards cash and U.S. Treasuries. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Standard Chartered-backed fintech firm Dian Dian is poised to launch a licensed HKD-pegged stablecoin (HKDAP), moving the industry into a phase where the real test is integrating licensed stablecoins into actual payment flows and corporate treasury systems. The sharp decline in Circle's stock underscores a broader shift: the stablecoin market is moving from a winner-takes-all dynamic to a multi-player competitive arena where execution, compliance, and real-world utility are becoming paramount.
