Bitcoin and Ethereum have both reached new annual lows, mirroring a decline in the U.S. stock market, which has now fallen for the fourth consecutive week. Yesterday, the crypto market experienced a significant sell-off, with major assets losing between 7% and 10%.

Bitcoin dropped to around $76,500 but is now trading at approximately $79,600. Similarly, Ethereum fell to about $1,750 during Asian trading but rebounded to roughly $1,850 due to buying activity.

Ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty in the U.S. and stricter trade policies are continuing to put pressure on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. In this cautious environment, investors are increasingly opting to sell volatile instruments in favor of more stable assets. The recent decline in Bitcoin and Ethereum is also related to technical factors. After Bitcoin failed to reclaim the $90,000 level, it became evident that the recent correction was insufficient to sustain the bull market or reach new yearly highs.

Despite the negative trends, this correction may present long-term investors with an opportunity to purchase cryptocurrencies at more appealing prices. However, for this to occur, we need to see signs of macroeconomic stabilization and renewed confidence in the crypto market.

As for the intraday trading strategy, I will focus on significant dips in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating continuing the bullish trend in the medium term.

For short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are outlined below.

Bitcoin
