Analysis of Intraday Price Movements for BTC/ETH/BNB/SOL on May 22, 2026 Good afternoon, everyone. Right now, BTC and ETH are stagnating. While the daily chart suggests a need for a rebound, the price is only inching upward with tiny, hesitant steps—lacking conviction, which is exhausting to watch. Let me outline the broader trading logic and direction: if this direction doesn’t emerge, daily price levels and trading strategies will remain largely unchanged. Traders who prefer heavy positions and aggressive moves may enjoy this kind of market, but once a strong trend finally develops, always use stop-losses! For BTC, watch 782–785; for ETH, watch 2155. These levels represent the recent resistance zones and also serve as the key dividing line for the current 4-hour bullish/bearish momentum. Only if price holds above these levels on the 4-hour chart can we confirm strengthening bullish momentum—then consider taking partial short positions at higher resistance levels. If price fails to break above, the rally lacks strength, and the market will likely continue its narrow range. In that case, look for light, incremental long entries on pullbacks to the prior lows from May 19 and May 21—even if initially trapped, you can average down. Yesterday, I advised waiting for a minor pullback to the white line before entering longs—those who followed were profitable. Today is no different: aggressive longs should wait for a minor pullback near the white line; more conservative traders should wait near support levels. Short positions at the first resistance level are valid only if they align with a 4-hour reversal—monitor closely if you choose to trade it; otherwise, simply place your short orders at the second resistance level. Today’s Market Analysis: $BTC: Watch 77,200. If today’s 4-hour candle closes above this level, the 4-hour rebound continues. First target: strong resistance near 78,200. If it fails to break through, expect a minor pullback. Only if price strongly breaks above should you consider partial short entries near 79,500–81,050–82,500. If today’s 4-hour candle closes below 77,200, this 4-hour rebound is over. Look for partial long entries on retests of 76,150–75,000–73,580. $ETH: Watch 2,120. If today’s 4-hour candle closes above this level, the 4-hour rebound continues. First target: strong resistance near 2,155. If it fails to break through, expect a minor pullback. Only if price strongly breaks above should you consider partial short entries near 2,190–2,230–2,275. If today’s 4-hour candle closes below 2,120, this 4-hour rebound is over. Look for partial long entries on retests of 2,090–2,060–2,020. $BNB: Watch 654. If the 4-hour price doesn’t break below this level, the rebound continues. Look for partial short entries near 665–677–690. If today’s 4-hour candle closes below 654, this 4-hour rebound is over. Look for partial long entries on retests of 645–635–623. $SOL: Watch 86.6. If price pulls back but holds above this level, the 4-hour rebound continues. First target: prior high at 88. If broken, look for partial short entries near 89.5–91.5–93.6. If today’s 4-hour candle closes below 86.6, this 4-hour rebound is over. Look for partial long entries on retests of 85.2–83.5–81.3. 【Note: Daily spike levels for long/short entries are provided for reference only—always manage your position size properly. For light positions, use 0.5% of your total capital. When placing limit orders at support/resistance levels, allocate no more than 1% per level. With 100x leverage, ensure no single order exceeds 2% of your total capital to preserve room for averaging down. For heavier positions, set stop-losses at the prior high/low from the last 1- or 2-hour swing move—or use fixed stops: approx. $1,500 for BTC, $30 for ETH.】 Discounted trading fee code: BNB789
