Crypto Circle Academician: Bitcoin (BTC) Latest Market Analysis on May 18, 2025

The current price of Bitcoin is 103,000. It is now 1:30 AM Beijing time. How much did everyone gain from yesterday's southward movement? Currently, the market is stretching without volume, and the price is at a top divergence stage. In this case, friends who went south around 119,000 should not all exit; keep a portion of your base position to avoid missing such a good entry point. As long as the upper resistance point of 121,000 is broken, you should stop loss and exit. If it doesn't break, there's no need to consider exiting.

Before the article was published, the daily K-line reached a high of 119,720 and a low of 116,500. The EMA15 trend fast line support is at the integer level of 116,000. The MACD top divergence will end after the K-line breaks below 117,850, and the DIF and DEA will also form a dead cross at a high position. The Bollinger Bands are expanding, and the top pressure level is starting to move down, while the support level has risen to 114,500. The distance between bulls and bears is compressing, making this a relatively good phase to capture trades, especially since the market heat has been taken away by the second-largest coin, making ultra-short quick in-and-out trades more stable.

The four-hour K-line has reached near the triangle mouth, and the EMA trend indicator is also contracting. The MACD is alternating in volume, and the Bollinger Bands are further contracting. The upper pressure level is at 119,000, and the lower support level is at 117,000. The fluctuations in this range have been compressed to within 2,000 points. Based on various indicators, the market has not yet broken the key support, so we can only conduct a southward trial position phase. Only after confirming can we increase our positions southward.

Short-term strategy reference: The market is never 100% certain, so always set stop losses. Safety first; small losses and big profits are the goal. Especially when breaking key resistance and support, stop losses should still be executed; do not hold onto losing positions.

Northward trial position points are 116,500 to 116,000, with a defense at 115,500, stop loss at 500 points, and targets looking at 117,500 to 118,000, with a breakout looking at 118,500 to 119,000.

Southward trial position points are 119,000 to 119,500, with a defense at 120,000, stop loss at 500 points, and targets looking at 118,000 to 117,500, with a breakout looking at 117,000 to 116,500.
