My August 26 read keeps several mixed states intact: Bitcoin has bearish-divergence evidence but no solid reversal yet, Ethereum remains structurally powerful, stablecoin dominance is strongly bearish with bounce risk, lower-cap rotation is early and TradFi is mostly quiet.

Bitcoin is approaching $81,788 resistance

Bitcoin daily chart

I see BTC rising toward $81,788 TBO Resistance while RSI makes lower highs and volume falls. Those are clear bearish-reversal signs, but one 4h TBT Bearish Divergence is not enough to build a solid reversal argument, and I am not saying an immediate dump has begun. Near historical resistance, a short-term pullback makes sense. Even so, I think the bottom is most likely in; if BTC blasts through resistance, that is the last straw against my bearish bias.

Ethereum is above resistance while weekly structure stays powerful

Ethereum weekly chart

I see ETH already above its 2025-2026 resistance cluster, even while the 2022 0.618 retracement remains resistance. ETH also printed one 4h TBT Bearish Divergence, but its weekly chart is crazy bullish and hard to deny. Last week's weekly TBO Close Short says a pullback to the Fast line is due, although an immediate move this week would be very weird. I preserve that tension rather than turning one divergence into a confirmed reversal.
