Odaily星球日报Published on 2026-03-16Last updated on 2026-03-16

Abstract

This market analysis provides a technical overview of Bitcoin (BTC) and HYPE, highlighting a continued bearish trend for BTC and a developing bullish wave for HYPE. **Market Overview:** The crypto market remained in a consolidation phase. Bitcoin experienced a rebound from recent lows but is still characterized as a weak, range-bound bounce within an ongoing medium-term bearish trend. The overall structure and trading volume suggest the primary downward trend remains intact. **HYPE Analysis (Bullish):** HYPE is identified as being in Wave III of a bullish impulse pattern, considered its main upward trend. * **Wave Structure:** Wave I peaked on Feb 3rd (+87.73%), followed by a Wave II decline until Feb 24th (-33.35%). The current Wave III began on Feb 24th and has already surpassed the Wave I high, confirming its validity with a maximum gain of 51.76% so far. * **Short-Term Trade:** A successful long position was executed with 1x leverage, yielding an 18.44% profit based on quant model entries/exits and wave analysis. * **Outlook:** The primary III wave trend is ongoing. Price action is currently building a consolidation structure on lower timeframes; a breakout from this range is key for the continuation of the upward move. **Bitcoin Analysis (Bearish):** BTC's activity is framed within a larger corrective pattern. * **Market Structure:** The bounce from the February 6th low (~$60,000) is interpreted as a C-2 wave retracement within a larger C wave correction. A su...

Last week, the cryptocurrency market continued its sideways movement. Bitcoin experienced a phased rebound after its previous rapid decline, but from the perspective of overall structure and trading volume, the current market is still in a weak range-bound consolidation phase, with the medium-term trend not fundamentally changed yet.

In such a market environment, we continue to strictly execute our strategies according to the established trading system: on one hand, persistently tracking the evolution of HYPE's Wave III main advancing structure; on the other hand, conducting short-term spread trading and medium-term trend position management around BTC's range-bound pattern.

This week's report will provide a systematic review and analysis of last week's market structure, trade execution, and potential market evolution paths this week, along with corresponding trading strategy references.

Trading Report Core Summary:

• In-depth Deconstruction of HYPE's Multi-Timeframe Structure: Weekly Tracking. (See Part 1)

• HYPE Short-term Trade Performance: HYPE completed one short-term long trade (1x leverage) last week, successfully realizing a gain of approximately 18.44%. (See Table 1)

• BTC Strategy Execution (Short-term) Performance: Bitcoin followed the既定 short-term strategy last week, completing one short-term short trade (1x leverage), successfully realizing a gain of approximately 2.01%. (See Table 2)

• BTC Strategy Execution (Medium-term) Performance: Bitcoin followed the既定 medium-term strategy last week, continuing to hold the short position established at around $89,000 (1x leverage). As of last week's close (approx. $72,831), the profit is about 18.17%, with a maximum profit of about 32.58% during the period.

• Core View (Short-term) Validation: Bitcoin continued its weak range-bound consolidation last week. The current price action is in line with expectations.

• BTC Price Outlook and Medium-/Short-term Operation Strategies for This Week.

I. HYPE: Structure Analysis & Short-term Trade Review

1. Continuous Tracking of HYPE Market Dynamics and Investment Opportunities

• Feb 23 Weekly Review: First indicated HYPE might be entering an investment window, noting the price was in a Wave II correction phase, and anticipated the potential initiation of a Wave III main advance thereafter.

• Mar 3 Weekly Review: Determined the low of $25.60 on Feb 24 might be the starting point of Wave III, confirming the trend reversal level.

• Mar 9 Weekly Review: Noted the price had effectively broken through multiple moving average resistance on the daily chart, subsequently entered a retracement and consolidation phase, which is a process of momentum accumulation, expecting a rapid rise after its completion.

2. Overview of HYPE Daily Chart Structure: (Based on price action since Jan 21)

• Wave I (Impulse Wave): From the Jan 21 low of $20.46 to the Feb 3 high of $38.41, lasting 14 days, with a maximum gain of 87.73%.

• Wave II (Corrective Wave): From the Feb 3 high of $38.41 to the Feb 24 low of $25.60, lasting 20 days, with a maximum decline of 33.35%.

• Wave III (Main Advance Wave): From the Feb 24 low of $25.60 to present, and made a new high of $38.85 on Mar 14, successfully breaking the Wave I peak of $38.41, confirming the Wave III行情. As of now, the wave has lasted 20 days, with a maximum gain of 51.76%. The main advancing trend is continuing.

3. HYPE Hourly Sub-structure: (Based on price action since Mar 8)

HYPE_60min K-line Chart

Figure 1

• HYPE Hourly Structure Review (03.02~03.08): In the Mar 9 weekly review, we considered the hourly adjustment starting Mar 2 could be divided into 5 segments: 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-13, 13-14. Analysis showed a clear bottom divergence signal comparing the entry segment (9-10) and the exit segment (13-14). Therefore, we judged the high probability that the adjustment ended at endpoint 14 (approx. $29.67).

• The rise initiated from the Mar 8 low (endpoint 14) can internally be divided into a 10-segment structure from endpoint 14 to 24. These 10 segments (i.e., 14-15, 15-16, 16-17, 17-18, 18-19, 19-20, 20-21, 21-22, 22-23, 23-24) constitute an upward impulse wave. As of the time of analysis, this rising structure is still continuing.

• Central Pivot Construction: Within the latest 10-segment structure, segments 19-20, 20-21, 21-22, 22-23, 23-24 are constructing an ascending central pivot structure.

4. This Week's Core View: The current price action is within the Wave III trend. After the central pivot construction is complete, the key for subsequent movement is to observe whether the price can effectively break free from the gravitational pull of this pivot. High probability of range-bound consolidation this week.

5. HYPE Short-term Trade Review (1x Leverage): (03.09~03.15)

Last week, based on trading signals from our self-built spread trading model and momentum量化 model, combined with the anticipation of the Wave III main advance, we completed one short-term (long) operation, successfully profiting 18.44%.

Table 1

Entry Decision (See Fig. 2): This entry decision integrated triple validation from trend, structure, and量化 signals: First, judged the hourly adjustment structure had ended at endpoint 14 (~$29.67). Then, the price effectively broke above the suppression of the previous platform's upper rail (~$31.33). Simultaneously, based on bottom resonance signals from the spread量化 model and momentum量化 model, we opened a 30% long position at $31.40.

Exit Decision: Based on top resonance signals from the spread量化 model and momentum量化 model, and the price approaching the Wave I peak near $38.41, we closed the position near $37.19.

Trade Summary: This operation successfully captured the Wave III rise opportunity, profiting approximately 18.44%.

Table 2

2. Short-term Trade Review: (See Fig. 3)

• Entry: The price encountered resistance near $74,500 on the bounce. Simultaneously, the spread trading model triggered a strong top warning signal (green dot in chart), and both models showed shorting resonance signals, so we established a short-term 30% short position at $72,496.

• Exit: Fell to near $70,500, and the spread trading model triggered a bottom warning signal (red dot in chart), so we closed the entire position near $71,039.

2. Medium-term Strategy Review:

Medium-term Strategy: Continue holding the 60% short position established near $89,000 (Jan 28). As of last week's post-market (closing ~$72,831), the profit is approximately 18.17%.

III. Bitcoin: Weekly, Daily Technical Indicator Analysis

Combining market movement, the author conducts a deep analysis of multiple Bitcoin technical indicators from multi-model and multi-dimensional perspectives based on a self-built trading system.

1. Analysis from the Weekly chart level, as shown in (Fig. 4):

Bitcoin Weekly K-line Chart: (Momentum量化 Model + Sentiment量化 Model)

Figure 4

• Momentum量化 Model: Technical indicators show the momentum line declining同步, with the white momentum line showing signs of flattening; negative energy柱 gradually shortening, no divergence signal appeared.

• Sentiment量化 Model: Blue sentiment line value 26, strength zero; Yellow sentiment line value 13, strength zero, peak value is 0.

• Digital Monitoring Model: Moving averages show a bearish排列, last week closed with a large阳线, gain ~10.39%, price stood above the 7-week MA for the first time; bottom digital monitoring signal not present.

Comprehensive Analysis: From the data of the three models above, last week's market rebound was significant, with concentrated release of bullish momentum, multiple technical indicators repaired, oversold conditions eased. However, we believe the weekly chart bearish trend for Bitcoin has not reversed yet. Last week's large阳线 needs further observation to confirm its sustainability.

2. Analysis from the Daily chart level: As shown in (Fig. 5)

Bitcoin Daily K-line Chart: (Momentum量化 Model + Sentiment量化 Model)

Figure 5

• Momentum量化 Model: Last week's overall showed a "震荡上行" (oscillating rise) pattern. Momentum line rose同步 below the zero axis, with the white momentum line crossing above the zero axis for the first time; positive energy柱 gradually strengthened, but weakly.

• Sentiment量化 Model: At last week's daily close, blue sentiment line value 31, strength zero; purple sentiment line value 75, strength zero, purple line rose significantly.

Comprehensive Analysis: Combining momentum量化 and sentiment量化 model analysis, we believe: Although last week's daily chart closed with 7 consecutive阳K线, showing strong short-term rebound momentum, the daily trading volume did not放大同步, the overall movement still belongs to the category of an oversold rebound, not yet breaking out of the range-bound pattern. The daily bearish trend continues. Subsequent focus should be on the battle between bulls and bears around the key demarcation line (zero axis).

IV. This Week's Market Prediction: (03.16~03.22)

1. Bitcoin Ascending Pivot Construction (Based on post-Feb 6 low price action): (Updated Weekly)

Bitcoin 4-hour K-line Chart

Figure 6

Using Bitcoin 4-hour as the analysis周期:

• Pivot Construction: (Fig. 6) shows: Last week mainly ran segment 12-13 structure. Currently, the ascending pivot is under construction. Its highest resistance level moved up to near $74,090, lowest support near $62,500; pivot upper rail ~$68,800, pivot lower rail ~$66,250.

2. C-2 Wave Rebound End Judgment:

• Maintain the previous core framework: The rising行情 initiated from the Feb 6 low (~$60,000) is, in nature, a C-2 wave oversold rebound within a large-degree C wave correction, to be followed by a C-3 wave corrective行情.

• Basis for C-2 Rebound End: If the price effectively breaks below the pivot lower rail support near $66,250 during adjustment, and subsequent pullback fails to reclaim this level, it constitutes a third-type selling point in Chan theory. This signal indicates strong selling momentum, likely破坏 the rebound structure, significantly increasing the possibility that the C-2 wave rebound has ended.

3. This Week's Core View: Maintain $62,500~$74,500 range-bound consolidation pattern, observe bull-bear struggle near range edges; Special attention: Price action after effectively breaking below the pivot lower rail (~$66,250). Strategically, firmly execute the principle of "reduce positions (longs) on rallies, control risk".

4. Core Resistance Levels:

• First Resistance Zone: Near $74,500 (Near previous important low)

• Second Resistance Zone: $79,500~$80,600 area (Near Nov 2025 low)

5. Core Support Levels:

• First Support: Near $65,000 (Previous important support area)

• Second Support: $60,000~$62,500 area (Feb 6 low area)

• Third Support: Near $57,400

V. This Week's Operation Strategy (Excluding Sudden News Impact): (03.16~03.22)

1. Medium-term Strategy: (See Fig. 7)

Bitcoin Daily K-line Chart: (Position Monitoring Model)

Figure 7

Position Monitoring Model: Currently price is below the Bull-Bear Ribbon (yellow), so continue holding the 60% short position established at $89,000 (Jan 28).

• If price反弹 effectively breaks above $74,500, reduce medium-term position to 40%.

• If price反弹 effectively breaks above and stabilizes above the Bull-Bear Ribbon, clear all medium-term positions.

2. Short-term Strategy: Utilize 30% position, set stop-loss, look for "spread" opportunities based on support and resistance levels. (Use 30min/60min as operation周期).

3. As the medium-term market direction is bearish, to dynamically respond to complex market changes and signals from our self-built trading model, we propose two short-term operation plans A/B:

• Plan A: Sell on rallies encountering resistance.

• Entry: When price持续反弹至 near $74,500 triggers resistance signals combined with model top signals, establish a 30% short position.

• Risk Control: Initial short stop-loss set above $76,000.

• Exit: When falling to important support levels combined with model signals, gradually close position to take profit.

• Plan B: Follow-through breakout short.

• Entry: When price effectively breaks below the pivot lower rail $66,250, then pulls back to this level but fails to hold, combined with model top signals,顺势 establish a 30% short position.

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

• Exit: When falling to support levels combined with model signals, gradually close position to take profit.

VI. Special Notes:

1. At entry: Immediately set initial stop-loss.

2. When profit reaches 1%: Move stop-loss to entry cost (breakeven point), ensuring principal safety.

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

4. Continuous Tracking: Thereafter, for every additional 1% profit, move stop-loss同步 by 1%, dynamically protecting and locking in profits.

Agents Take Over Traffic Distribution Power: What Are Tencent, ByteDance, and Alibaba Competing For?

In the race to dominate the AI era's entry point, China's tech giants—Tencent, ByteDance, and Alibaba—are aggressively deploying AI Agents to control the future of traffic distribution. Alibaba is pursuing a dual-track "closed loop + openness" strategy. Its Qianwen app is evolving into a super-Agent integrated across its ecosystem (Taobao, Alipay, etc.) to handle complex tasks like travel planning. Concurrently, it is opening its platform to external brands (Luckin Coffee, KFC) and has launched a B2B Agent platform, "Wukong," targeting enterprise automation. Its other flagship, Quark, aims to be an "AI super search box" for information and tasks. ByteDance is executing an omnipresent "sprawl strategy." Its Doubao app boasts over 300 million monthly active users and is evolving into a default AI entry point for daily life, with plans for paid versions and e-commerce integration. Its core weapon is the Kouzi platform, a visual "AI assembly factory" for developers to build custom Agents. ByteDance is also pushing hardware integration, collaborating on AI phones and developing smart glasses to embed Doubao everywhere. Tencent is playing its long-held "ultimate card" by quietly embedding an AI Agent directly into WeChat. This Agent, accessible via a swipe, can understand user commands and automatically execute tasks by calling upon WeChat's millions of mini-programs (e.g., finding and ordering coffee). This leverages WeChat's unparalleled 1.4-billion-user ecosystem to position the app as an AI-powered "service operating system," a move that could dramatically reshape the competitive landscape. The core battleground is shifting from competing for "user screen time" to competing to be the "default execution layer" for user intent. The business model is evolving from an "attention economy" to an "intent economy," where the Agent that can most efficiently fulfill a user's need gains control over service access and token flow. This represents a fundamental change in how users connect with digital services, making the fight for the Agent入口 (entry point) a pivotal moment for redefining industry leadership in the AI age.

From Banning Doubao to Embracing Honor: Why Did WeChat Suddenly 'Change Its Face'?

The article explores the sudden shift in WeChat's strategy towards AI assistants from mobile phone manufacturers, transitioning from strict opposition to active collaboration. For over a year, WeChat fiercely resisted attempts by phone AI assistants (like ByteDance's Doubao in late 2025) to control its features via GUI automation ("simulated clicking"), citing security and data control concerns. This stance created a significant barrier for system-level AI integration. Now, Tencent has initiated A2A (Agent-to-Agent) partnerships with major phone brands like Honor, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo. This model allows a phone's system AI (e.g., Honor's YOYO) to parse a user's voice command and send a structured request directly to WeChat's own internal AI agent via secure APIs. WeChat then executes the action (e.g., sending a message) and returns the result. The article attributes Tencent's "change of face" to strategic pressure. While leading in social app usage, Tencent trails rivals like ByteDance and Alibaba in standalone AI app popularity. WeChat, with its vast mini-program ecosystem, is Tencent's key asset for an AI comeback. The upcoming WeChat AI agent aims to handle tasks like booking and payments within the app. However, phone system assistants remain the primary AI entry point for most users. The A2A collaboration allows Tencent to extend WeChat's AI reach to this crucial system layer while maintaining control over its core functions and data. For phone manufacturers, embracing A2A is a pragmatic move. The GUI route proved unviable due to WeChat's blocks. A2A offers a compliant path to integrate a vital service, enhancing their AI assistants' usefulness. It allows them to focus on developing their own AI ecosystems for other services while cooperating on WeChat access. The collaboration is framed as a mutual, strategic necessity: Tencent gains a distribution channel, and manufacturers gain a key functionality. The partnership relies on a "dual authorization" mechanism for security, requiring both user and app consent for each action. While questions about long-term data privacy practices remain, experts note A2A is more secure and compliant than GUI automation. Ultimately, this cooperation is seen as a tentative, calculated truce. Tencent's long-term goal is to make WeChat an AI-powered "service OS." Phone manufacturers aim to make their system AI the central user interface. Their paths may converge or clash in the future, but for now, the A2A deal represents the opening chapter in the battle for the AI-era user入口, driven by necessity and strategic calculus on both sides.

On-Chain Figures on the Eve of Kickoff: 1.6 Billion Traded Before the World Cup Even Begins

"On-Chain Numbers on the Eve of the World Cup: $1.6 Billion Traded Before Kick-off" Analysis of on-chain markets before the 2026 FIFA World Cup reveals significant crypto integration into football. The most striking figure is the approximately **$1.6 billion** in total trading volume on the single "World Cup Winner" contract on the Polymarket prediction market platform, accumulated before a single match was played. This represents explosive growth for a sector whose annual volume surged from ~$16B in 2024 to ~$64B in 2025. The ecosystem is maturing beyond speculation. Key developments include: 1) **Infrastructure upgrades** like Polymarket's migration to native, regulated USDC stablecoin for settlements; 2) **Reliable data oracles**, such as Chainlink, being used to resolve real-world match outcomes on-chain; and 3) **Official recognition**, with FIFA appointing its first-ever "Prediction Markets" partner. Over 100 contracts now cover everything from the outright winner to individual match results and even non-sporting risks like venue relocation. This evolution marks a fundamental shift. While crypto firms are absent from FIFA's top-tier sponsor list, the technology has deeply penetrated the tournament's financial and predictive infrastructure through regulated stablecoin settlements, decentralized oracles, and new official partnership categories. The regulatory landscape remains complex and varies by jurisdiction, but on-chain markets for the World Cup are already a multi-billion-dollar reality.
