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.

Summary of This Week's Core Trading Views:

  • BTC Multi-Timeframe Structure Analysis (Detailed in Part 1)
  • 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.

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.

Bank of Russia: 12 Largest Banks to Connect Digital Ruble from September 1, 2026

The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) announced that all 12 of the country's systemically important banks will be ready to offer clients digital ruble accounts and transactions starting September 1, 2026. According to Alla Bakina, director of the CBR's national payment system department, these banks cover over 80% of the domestic payment market. The digital ruble is described as a new form of the existing currency, functioning as a cashless payment method but held directly in a user's wallet on the CBR platform. Nine other banks designated as significant payment market participants are also expected to provide access, with most aiming to complete integration by autumn 2026. Starting from the September launch date, major retail chains with annual revenue exceeding 120 million rubles will be required to accept digital ruble payments, though adoption for citizens remains voluntary. The rollout follows a delayed pilot phase, with mass implementation postponed from 2025. The CBR's model currently offers basic account functionality without interest accrual, unlike China's digital yuan, which began paying interest in early 2026. The announcement positions Russia among dozens of countries testing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), though the digital ruble's potential role in cross-border settlements, particularly within BRICS, remains an open question for its future international relevance.

MSX US Stock Daily Observation: Baidu 2026 Q2 Earnings: AI Revenue Accounts for Half of Core Business for Two Consecutive Quarters, 283% GPU Cloud Growth Boosts Business Transformation

**MSX Daily US Stock Observation: Baidu 2026 Q2 Earnings Report** Baidu's Q2 2026 earnings present a clear picture of a company in transition. Total revenue declined slightly to RMB 313.25 billion, missing market expectations. This was driven by a continued double-digit contraction (-19%) in its core online marketing (advertising) business. The key highlight is the structural shift within the company's operations. AI-related revenue reached RMB 125 billion, accounting for approximately half of Baidu's core business income for the second consecutive quarter. Within AI, growth is heavily skewed towards infrastructure: AI cloud infrastructure revenue grew 50% year-over-year to RMB 73 billion, with GPU cloud revenue surging 283%. In contrast, AI application and AI-native marketing services revenue grew only 3% and remained flat, respectively, indicating slower commercialization on the application side. Profitability metrics were mixed. While adjusted operating profit and EBITDA exceeded expectations, demonstrating cost control, adjusted earnings per ADS of RMB 7.22 fell short by about 26%. This gap is largely attributed to depreciation and amortization costs linked to significant AI infrastructure investments, which continue to pressure bottom-line profit realization. The company holds a substantial cash position of RMB 2831 billion, providing runway for continued investment. The critical challenge ahead is translating the explosive growth in AI infrastructure (like GPU cloud) into stronger monetization from AI applications to bridge the gap between operational profit and per-share earnings.

Bitwise CIO: Three Major Cognitive Errors Common Among Crypto Investors Today

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan highlights three key misconceptions he believes many crypto investors currently hold, presenting them as opportunities for those who see beyond them. First, investors significantly underestimate the total addressable market for crypto applications. While many view platforms like Uniswap only as tools for trading crypto assets (a ~$2 trillion market), their true potential lies in tokenizing and trading *all* asset classes—such as stocks and bonds—which represent markets hundreds of trillions of dollars in size. Second, there's a persistent overestimation of traditional financial institutions' ability to dominate crypto-native sectors. Examples like PayPal's stable币 (with ~1% market share vs. Tether/Circle's 88%) and Fidelity's custody business (trailing Coinbase) show that crypto-native firms often win due to faster iteration, focused expertise, and established user trust within the crypto ecosystem. Third, investors linearly extrapolate future on-chain transaction volumes from today's data, severely underestimating potential growth. The shift to 24/7 trading for tokenized assets could multiply trading hours by 5x. When combined with AI agents that may execute trades far more frequently than humans, transaction volumes could grow by 10x to 100x, massively boosting revenue for underlying blockchains and applications. Hougan concludes that the gap between the rapid pace of industry change and slower mainstream perception updates creates significant investment opportunities.
