An Odaily featured market analysis said Bitcoin remains in a daily-wave b-leg pullback, with price sliding to as low as $62,268 and attention now centered on whether the $60,900-$61,500 area can hold. The report said that range is the key level for validating this week’s structure, while stressing that the broader setup would remain intact only if BTC does not fall below the prior a-wave low of $57,820. The piece also examined HYPE, which it described as approaching the end of a daily C-wave decline. Price has dropped into the $50-$52 support zone after falling from its June 16 high of $76.94, and the analysis said multiple technical indicators have already entered oversold territory. Its in-house spread-trading model has repeatedly flashed bottom warnings, pointing to the possibility of a short-term repair move, though the direction has not yet been confirmed. The article further reviewed a short BTC trade from last week. According to the report, a 1x leveraged short position was opened at $64,700 and fully closed near $63,032, producing a gain of about 2.58%. The report framed that trade as a validation of its earlier market view and laid out updated support, resistance, and position-management plans for both BTC and HYPE this week.

Bitcoin is still moving through a daily b-wave correction this week, according to an Odaily featured analysis, with price falling to as low as $62,268. The report said the central question now is whether BTC can find support in the $60,900-$61,500 area, which it described as the key zone for validating the current structure.

HYPE, meanwhile, has moved close to the end of its daily C-wave decline. The analysis placed its main support at $50-$52 and said oversold signals have been triggered repeatedly, leaving room for a short-term repair move even though direction has not yet been confirmed.

What the report focused on this week

The article was organized around four main sections: a multi-timeframe structure review for BTC, this week’s BTC outlook and medium- to short-term trading plans, a daily structure analysis for HYPE, and this week’s HYPE outlook with short-term strategy. It also included a review of last week’s short-term trade and how prior market calls played out.

  • BTC multi-timeframe structure analysis
  • BTC outlook for the week and medium- and short-term strategy
  • HYPE daily structure analysis
  • HYPE weekly outlook and short-term trading plan

How last week’s views matched market action

The report said last week’s BTC call was to watch the strength of support if price moved into the $60,950-$61,500 area. In the market that followed, Bitcoin dipped to around $62,268 and then rebounded, which the author described as confirmation of that earlier view.

On short-term execution, the article said Bitcoin completed one short trade last week using 1x leverage, with a profit of about 2.58%.

For HYPE, the piece said last week’s analysis laid out two possible technical paths. It said actual price action has so far tracked the second path more closely: the correction did not end at $56.47, and price instead formed a lower trading center before extending the decline.

Bitcoin daily structure: a five-leg correction, with b-wave still in progress

Based on price action since May 6, the article said Bitcoin’s correction from the May 6 high of $82,850 has developed into a five-part structure on the daily chart: (0-1), (1-2), (2-3), (3-4), and (4-5).

Looking only at the rebound that started from the July 1 low, the analysis broke the move into an a-wave, a b-wave, and a potential c-wave:

  • a-wave rebound: from about $57,820 on July 1 to about $66,955 on July 21, lasting 21 days, with a maximum gain of about 15.8%.
  • b-wave pullback: from about $66,955 on July 21 to the present. The report said it has run for 12 days so far and reached a low of $62,268. The pullback is now close to 61.8% of the a-wave rebound, with the Fibonacci level near $61,310, so the report said the b-wave has largely met its technical requirement in terms of magnitude.
  • potential c-wave rebound: if the b-wave ends without breaking below the a-wave low of $57,820, the market could start a c-wave rebound that may retest resistance near $67,300.

Bitcoin on the 4-hour chart: whether $62,268 holds matters

On the 4-hour chart, the report divided the daily b-wave correction that began from the July 21 high, marked as point 51 near $66,955, into six segments running from (51-52) to (56-57). It said segments (52-53), (53-54), and (54-55) overlapped and together formed central structure F.

The market is currently described as trading in the (56-57) rebound leg. According to the article, if BTC does not break below point 56 and can establish itself above $63,600 before extending higher, the odds would increase that the daily b-wave ended at point 56, near $62,268. If that does not happen, the market may continue to probe lower, with focus returning to support in the $60,900-$61,500 area.

BTC outlook for the week: support first, then watch $63,600

The core call for BTC this week is whether the daily b-wave correction can finish above the $60,900-$61,500 zone, with one condition attached: the correction low must not break below $57,820.

The report listed the following resistance levels:

  • First resistance: around $63,600
  • Second resistance: $65,700-$67,300
  • Third resistance: $69,500-$71,000

It listed the following support levels:

  • First support: $60,950-$61,500
  • Second support: around $57,820

BTC strategy: medium-term short exposure at 40%, with two short-term scenarios

Assuming no sudden news shock, the article set out both medium-term and short-term strategy.

For the medium-term view, the author said a position-monitoring model shows BTC has already fallen decisively below a bull-bear channel, confirming a market structure led by bears. Medium-term short exposure was put at about 40%. If price can move firmly above $63,600 and keep rebounding, the report suggested cutting medium-term short exposure to below 20%.

For short-term trading, the article suggested using 30% of capital, setting stop losses, and looking for spread opportunities based on support and resistance, using 30-minute or 60-minute timeframes.

It then laid out two scenarios:

Plan A: test long positions after price stabilizes above key support

  • Entry: if BTC keeps rebounding early in the week, holds above $63,600, and is backed by signals from the quantitative model, traders may build a long position of about 30%.
  • Risk control: set an initial stop-loss level.
  • Exit: reduce and close the position gradually near major resistance if model signals align.

Plan B: light long positions near strong support

  • Entry: if BTC continues to correct but shows signs of stabilization above the prior low of $57,820, and if the model flashes a bottom signal, traders may build a long position of about 30%.
  • Risk control: set an initial stop-loss level.
  • Exit: close gradually when price rebounds into major resistance and model signals line up.

HYPE daily structure: an A-B-C correction now near key support

For HYPE, the report said the pullback that began at the June 16 high of $76.94 has developed into a clear A-B-C structure on the daily chart.

  • A-wave decline: from about $76.94 on June 16 to about $58.50 on June 25, lasting 9 days and totaling a 23.97% drop.
  • B-wave rebound: from about $58.50 on June 25 to about $72.97 on July 7, lasting 12 days with a rebound of 24.74%.
  • C-wave decline: from about $72.97 on July 7 to the present, now running for 27 days and reaching a low of $51.11.

The article said the daily C-wave has now fallen into the key $50-$52 support area. After the extended decline, several technical indicators have entered oversold territory, and the report’s in-house spread-trading model has repeatedly flashed bottom warnings in red dots. On that basis, the article said the market has a technical need for a short-term repair move. It added that current levels are not suited to chasing shorts blindly and said traders should wait for a confirmed daily D-wave rebound signal.

HYPE outlook and short-term plan for the week

The core question for HYPE this week is still how price behaves around support in the $50-$52 range.

The report listed these resistance levels:

  • First resistance: $58.5-$60
  • Second resistance: $63.5-$66
  • Third resistance: around $72.97

It listed these support levels:

  • First support: $50-$52
  • Second support: around $45

For short-term trading, the article said that if HYPE shows signs of stabilization in the $50-$52 area, investors may consider light long exposure, keep position size below 20%, and follow stop-loss discipline strictly.

BTC short-trade review: the report put profit at about 2.58%

The article also walked through a short BTC trade completed last week. It said the trade was based on signals from the spread-trading model and the momentum quant model, with total profit of about 2.58%.

The trade record was presented in Table 1, described in the source as a summary of Bitcoin short-term trading details using 1x leverage.

According to the review, the short entry was based on two factors. First, BTC showed signs of stalling near $65,700 and the candlestick pattern formed a local top. Second, the spread-trading model triggered a strong top warning, marked by a white dot and a green dot, after which the blue signal band in the chart broke below the green skyline and issued a downside signal. That signal also aligned with a correction signal from the momentum quant model. On that basis, the article said a 30% short position was opened at $64,700.

The exit logic also had two parts. First, BTC showed signs of stabilization above $62,000 and formed a local bottom pattern on the chart. Second, the spread-trading model repeatedly flashed bottom warnings, marked by a white dot and a red dot, and the orange-yellow signal band then broke above the purple-red horizon, aligning with a bottom resonance signal from the momentum quant model. Based on those conditions, the report said the position was fully closed near $63,032.

The result, according to the source, was a gain of about 2.58%.

Risk notice at the end of the article

The piece ended with four trading-discipline reminders:

  1. Set an initial stop-loss immediately after opening a position.
  2. When profit reaches 1%, move the stop-loss to the entry cost.
  3. When profit reaches 2%, move the stop-loss to the level that locks in 1% profit.
  4. After that, for every additional 1% in profit, move the stop-loss higher by 1% as well.
