FameEX Weekly Market Trend | September 14, 2023

   1. Market Trend

From September 11 to September 13, the BTC price fluctuated between $24,901.00 and $26,567.00, with a volatility of 6.67%. Based on the 1-hour chart, on the evening of September 11, at 22:00, BTC fell below $25,000 with high trading volume. Failure to rebound to the $25,500-$26,500 range promptly may result in the month-long sideways trend breaking down, targeting approximately $23,800. This would likely trigger a bearish trend with BTC seeking lower support levels. On September 12 at 11:00, BTC broke $25,500 with high volume, re-entering its previous range. Unusually, in the recent month’s sideways trend, it swiftly retreated after crossing $26,000. However, this time, it stayed above $26,000, diverging from the norm. Moreover, trading volume surged, indicating heightened market activity. On the evening of September 13, despite bearish data from the U.S. August CPI, the price kept rising above $26,000. As previously noted, it’s vital to watch for key factors at trading range boundaries, like breakout strength and speed. The present anomaly is the lack of a rapid pullback after exceeding $26,000, coupled with a notable rise in trading volume. This strongly suggests a near-term trend.

Between September 11 and September 13, the price of ETH/BTC fluctuated within a range of 0.06103-0.06283, showing a 2.94% fluctuation. Looking at the 1-hour chart, a standard bearish pattern has emerged, and on both the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, the 25-day MA has become a strong resistance level. The current price is also hovering around its lowest level in nearly three months, indicating significant weakness. It is advisable to stay away from this cryptocurrency in the near term.

Based on overall analysis, the market regards BTC as the benchmark for market trends. In the recent battle between bulls and bears in the BTC market, the bulls have a slight advantage as BTC has stabilized above $26,000. It is viable to closely monitor coins that have shown strength during the recent BTC uptrend, such as BCH, LTC, and OP. Typically, such coins tend to experience significant price increases once the BTC trend becomes clear in the future. It is advisable to refer to the analysis of BTC mentioned earlier and enter the market at suitable points.
