Crypto
Product Yesterday's Change Yesterday's Close Today's Open BitCoin ▼-1.10% 116345.5 116655 Ethereum ▼-3.09% 4334.2 4350.9 Dogecoin ▼-4.21% 0.22323 0.22459 📝 Review:From last night to today, Bitcoin showed a volatile downward trend: affected by cooling expectations of a Fed rate cut, with the probability of a September rate cut dropping to 41%, and dragged down by mixed earnings reports from U.S. tech stocks, Bitcoin briefly fell below $115,000 during trading on August 18, with a 24-hour decline of 2.59%, hitting a low of $114,929. However, it later stabilized and rebounded due to BlackRock's holdings surpassing 600,000 coins, with a market value exceeding $56 billion, and the boost from the enactment of Hong Kong's "Stablecoin Ordinance." From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has formed a new oscillation range between $115,000–$116,000. The 4-hour chart RSI rebounded from an oversold level of 38 to 55, and the Bollinger Bands continued to narrow (standard deviation dropped to 2.9%). The repeated entanglement of short-term moving averages (such as EMA50) with the price indicates intense battles between bulls and bears. The key support level has shifted downward to the $114,500–$115,000 range (corresponding to the EMA200 moving average and the cost zone of institutional accumulation in August). A high-volume break below this level could open the door for further correction. However, on-chain data shows that BTC balances on exchanges have dropped to 2.5 million coins (the lowest since 2018), with long-term holdings accounting for over 70%. Coupled with expansion expectations driven by Layer2 technological breakthroughs, Bitcoin overall still maintains upward resilience. The market is currently focused on the Fed meeting minutes tonight regarding adjustments to rate cut expectations and the impact of U.S. tech stock earnings reports on liquidity.🕵️ Operation suggestion:BitCoin 116065.0 Sell Target Price 114179.4
