Daily Market Analysis New
*Bitcoin has remained largely confined between the mid-$76,000s and low $80,000s, while Ethereum consolidates around $2,500, with repeated upside attempts facing firm selling pressure.
*Rising U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield near 5%, alongside Middle East tensions and elevated oil prices have weakened risk appetite.
*Wednesday’s Fed decision is the key catalyst, with markets pricing an 80%–90% probability of a 25bp hike. A hawkish hike could trigger renewed crypto selling, while a more measured outlook may allow BTC and ETH to stabilise and retest the upper end of their ranges.
Bitcoin and Ethereum have remained confined within a narrow trading range for the past three weeks, with repeated attempts to break higher meeting firm selling pressure. Bitcoin has hovered primarily between the mid-$76,000s and low $80,000s, recently trading near $77,000–$78,000 after failing to sustain moves above the upper end of the range. Ethereum has similarly consolidated around the $2,500 level. The inability to extend the mid-August rally reflects a macroeconomic backdrop that has turned less supportive for risk assets.
Elevated U.S. Treasury yields have played a central role in capping upside. The 10-year yield recently climbed to approximately 5%, its highest level since late 2023, as markets increasingly priced in tighter Federal Reserve policy. Combined with ongoing Middle East geopolitical tensions and elevated crude oil prices, these factors have reduced appetite for speculative assets. Spot Bitcoin ETF flows have turned mixed to negative in recent sessions, while the Crypto Fear and Greed Index has settled in the greed zone near the high 50s to low 70s, indicating residual optimism but limited conviction for a decisive breakout.
Attention now centres on the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision due Wednesday. Markets assign a high probability—generally in the 80–90% range—of a 25-basis-point increase. A rate hike, particularly if accompanied by hawkish forward guidance or an upward revision in the dot plot, could reinforce higher-for-longer yield expectations and trigger renewed selling pressure across the crypto market. Conversely, a more measured tone that signals limited further tightening might allow digital assets to stabilise or attempt another push higher within the established range. In the near term, Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to remain sensitive to the outcome and subsequent commentary, with volatility expected to rise as traders reassess the impact of tighter monetary conditions on risk appetite.
BTC, H4:
BTC has attempted to rebound twice from its recent low, but both recovery attempts have been capped below the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level at 79,880.00, suggesting that selling pressure remains intact and that buyers are still struggling to regain control.
The key level to watch is now the 76,466.00 support level. Should BTC break decisively below this area, it could trigger another round of selling pressure and potentially strengthen the current bearish momentum.
If the sell-off extends further, the next major level to watch will be the $70,000 psychological support, which could become an important area for BTC to stabilize. Conversely, a sustained recovery above 79,880.00 would weaken the immediate bearish outlook and suggest that buying momentum is returning.
Overall, BTC remains under bearish pressure following repeated rejection below the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level. A break below 76,466.00 could trigger further downside, with $70,000 emerging as the next key psychological support level.
Resistance Levels: 80,490.00, 84,270.70
Support Levels: 76,465.00, 71,362.40
