Bitcoin's price retreated yesterday, then continued to gradually rise in small increments during the early morning, but the upward momentum was not sustained and instead slightly pulled back.
Earlier I mentioned "Northbound has no end, Southbound is already dusk," don't be fooled by the current bearish strength. In fact, it's just an appearance; from the four-hour chart, the lows of each retracement wave are continuously moving higher. And after each decline, there is a rebound that creates new highs. It’s clear that the main trend now is to look for bullish signals on the pullback.
Therefore,

BTC strengthened on news of MSTR's large purchase, with ETH as a follow-up asset showing a clear correlation effect, but the current increase is weaker than Bitcoin, indicating that market funds are still concentrated in BTC, and ETH has not yet shown signs of independent strength.
If the altcoin volume breaks through 2346.84 and stabilizes, it can be lightly followed with a stop loss below 2330, targeting 2380; if it cannot break through the resistance level and falls below 2315, then give up chasing, and wait for a second opportunity to test the strong support level.
Strong resistance level:

The market has been pretty volatile lately. For the main position, timing the rhythm well and doing less—keeping it a bit lighter—should be the move. With resistance holding above 76,000, the pullback shouldn’t be a big problem. $BTC $ETH

Since early morning, Ethereum has been oscillating and climbing near the 2296 level, showing a stepwise upward structure. The market’s lows keep moving higher, and the price gradually rises to above 2320, followed by a brief consolidation. Afterwards, bullish sentiment concentrates and releases, pushing the price further up to around the 2346 level to form an intraday high. However, that area was unable to provide sufficient support. After the spike, the price quickly fell back, giving back most of the gains and dropping again below 2320. After that, the market entered a choppy and slightly we

Recently popular Ming Ge’s ultra-short-term trading cycle, a textbook-like experience of a retail investor losing money, showed me my own reflection from the past.
The approach is high-frequency short-term trading: make a small profit and then run, hold the position when losing—this kind of operation is extremely effective in a trending market.
Unfortunately, one small slip was all it took: after holding on and taking a big loss, a series of impulsive, messy trades followed, and in the end the entire 2,000,000 profit was all given back within a month, and even worse, he fell into 700,000 w

The US-Iran ceasefire is about to expire, with Trump threatening Iran with large-scale military strikes while claiming that an agreement will be reached; Iran responds firmly, the confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz escalates, directly driving up international oil prices, and the situation in the Middle East becomes fully tense. $BTC $GT #Gate13周年现场直击 #美伊二轮谈判进展

$ETH – The price is still correcting on the low timeframes and seems to be moving up now. However, I believe this is part of a Wave B within a corrective Wave 2 that precedes a larger move to the upside in the coming days.
I believe short-term volatility does not matter here, as long as price remains above the high-timeframe support range marked in purple, sitting at $2.1K.
As long as this level holds, the most likely outcome remains further upside on the mid-term, the market structure stays bullish, and this consolidation phase remains healthy.

🚨 #USIranTensionsShakeMarkets — Global Markets Enter a High-Volatility Geopolitical Regime
The escalating geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran have once again reminded global investors that financial markets are not driven solely by economic fundamentals—but are deeply influenced by geopolitical risk, energy security dynamics, and macro-financial interconnections.
As tensions intensified in early 2026, markets across equities, commodities, and digital assets entered a synchronized volatility regime, where price movements were no longer isolated reactions but part of a broa
