#我的2026第一条帖 Bitcoin hits a new high at $97,899! Ethereum fluctuates around $3,330; will it be possible to catch the bottom or escape from the peak on January 15?
Deep technical analysis: fluctuations and breakouts in a multi-cyclical resonance system
(一)Bitcoin: high volatility and corrections, a breakout requires volume support and daily chart analysis. Bitcoin demonstrates a stair-step growth pattern, with a medium-sized candlestick pattern formed on January 14 with upper and lower wicks, confirming a breakout of the key resistance zone at $95,000. The current price remains steadily above EMA30 (93006 dollars), EMA7 and EMA30 form a golden cross, the 120-day moving average (91126 dollars) serves as a solid long-term support, MACD continues to expand, indicating a strong medium-term bullish trend. On the 4-hour chart, a high-volatility structure is observed; after breaking the previous high, the price reached $97,899, then slightly retreated to $96,800. Technical indicators show DIF and DEA remain in a bullish configuration, but the MACD histogram is decreasing, indicating a weakening of short-term bullish momentum. Key resistance levels are in the range of $97,800–$98,000 — this is both the previous high and an important psychological level, creating selling pressure. Support is around $96,000, with additional support levels at $95,000 and $93,400; the first is the lower boundary of the recent fluctuation range, the second coincides with EMA30 and provides strong protection. In the short term, Bitcoin is in a “confirmation phase after breakout,” and if the price consolidates above $96,000 with volume confirming the move, there is a chance to break through the resistance at $98,000 again; if the price drops below support at $95,000, a correction to $93,400 or even to the EMA30 position is possible.
(二)Ethereum: range-bound fluctuations dominate, key resistance level — breakout on the daily chart. Currently, Ethereum is balanced between buyers and sellers, with the price fluctuating around $3,300. Although the short-term price remains above the short-term moving average, it is still constrained by a dense resistance zone formed by the 50-day (3128 dollars), 100-day (3292 dollars), and 200-day (3342 dollars) moving averages. Previous attempts to break this zone were unsuccessful, indicating strong selling pressure. RSI is at 51.0, in a neutral zone, MACD is also neutral, suggesting a balance of forces between buyers and sellers. On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum maintains a “higher lows” structure; after support at $3,280, the price rebounded to $3,402 and is now fluctuating around $3,330. Key resistance levels are $3,390–$3,400, coinciding with recent highs and Fibonacci levels. Further resistance is at $3,450, matching the previous high. Support is at $3,300, with additional levels at $3,280 and $3,100, aligning with the upper boundary of the previous range. The technical picture indicates Ethereum is in a “accumulation and consolidation phase,” with short-term movement depending on the ability to break through the $3,400 level. If a breakout occurs with volume, the target is $3,450; if not, a correction to $3,300–$3,280 is possible, and if it falls below $3,280, support at $3,100 is likely.
In-depth technical analysis: oscillations and breakthroughs under multi-timeframe resonance
(1) Bitcoin: consolidating with high-level oscillations, a breakout requires volume support. From a daily chart perspective, Bitcoin shows a stair-step upward pattern. On January 14, it closed with a bullish candle with upper and lower shadows, confirming a breakout of the key resistance zone at $95,000. The current price remains stably above the EMA30 ($93,006), with the EMA7 and EMA30 maintaining a golden cross. The 120-day moving average ($91,126) provides solid long-term support. The MACD indicator continues to expand, indicating a strong medium-term bullish trend. The 4-hour chart shows a high-level oscillation structure, with the price reaching a high of $97,899 after breaking previous highs, then slightly retreating to around $96,800. Technical indicators show that DIF and DEA remain in a bullish alignment, but the MACD histogram is shrinking, suggesting short-term bullish momentum is waning. Key resistance is concentrated in the $97,800–$98,000 range, which is both a previous high and an important psychological level, with noticeable selling pressure. Support levels include immediate support at $96,000, with further support at $95,000 and $93,400; the latter coincides with EMA30 and provides strong support. In the short term, Bitcoin is in a “confirmation stage after breakout.” If it can stabilize above $96,000 and volume supports, it may attempt to challenge the $98,000 resistance again. If it falls below $95,000, a correction toward $93,400 or even EMA30 is possible.
(2) Ethereum: mainly oscillating within a range, waiting for a breakout of key resistance on the daily chart. Currently, Ethereum is in a balanced state between bulls and bears, fluctuating around $3,300. Although it temporarily stays above short-term moving averages, it remains constrained by the dense resistance zone formed by the 50-day ($3,128), 100-day ($3,292), and 200-day ($3,342) moving averages. Multiple tests of this zone have failed to break through effectively, indicating heavy selling pressure above. The RSI is at 51.0, in a neutral zone, and the MACD is also neutral, not indicating a clear bullish or bearish trend, suggesting market buying and selling forces are relatively balanced. The 4-hour chart shows Ethereum maintaining a “higher lows” short-term upward structure. After bouncing from support at $3,280, it rose to around $3,402 and is now oscillating near $3,330. Key resistance is in the $3,390–$3,400 range, coinciding with recent rebound highs and Fibonacci retracement levels. Further resistance targets $3,450, the previous high in the range. Support levels include immediate support at $3,300, a recent low at $3,280, and a significant structural support at $3,100, which overlaps with the upper boundary of the previous consolidation zone. Technical patterns indicate Ethereum is in a “consolidation and accumulation phase.” The short-term trend depends on whether it can break through $3,400. If successful with increased volume, it could open room to rise toward $3,450. If it fails to break through, a correction back to the $3,300–$3,280 support zone is possible. Falling below $3,280 may lead to further decline toward $3,100.
