Crypto Zhong Liang: Focus on buying the dips on September 14, BTC consolidates at a high level and is ready to break out!

Recently, the market's attention has been focused on US inflation data and Federal Reserve policy expectations. After the CPI data was released, market disagreements between bulls and bears rapidly intensified, leading to increased short-term shakeout movements. Fluctuating inflation data repeatedly impacted US Treasury yields and the US dollar trend. The crypto market reacted violently to macro news, with major players using this data window to repeatedly shake out retail investors. Although short-term volatility is significant, the overall mid- to long-term bullish structure has not experienced any substantial damage, and the market remains in a high-level consolidation and accumulation phase.

Looking back at last Friday's overall price action, the trend was truly full of twists and turns. After the CPI data was announced, the price first dipped sharply, then staged a V-shaped reversal and rally, followed by another sharp decline forming an inverted V pattern later at night—a textbook deep shakeout. Throughout last week, the main trading strategy was to focus on longs with shorts as a supplement, successfully capturing profits in both directions. BTC shorts were deployed in the 79,500‑80,000 resistance area, and after dropping to the 77,000 support area, longs were re-entered, realizing profits from high-selling and low-buying. For ETH, shorts were opened at the 2,510 high, switched to longs after dropping to the 2,420 low, with solid profits from both directions.
