Of Technical Signals
❦
◆ Technical view · 15 October

A hotter-than-expected inflation reading in the United States gave Wednesday's session its defining character. Bitcoin closed at $81,682.01, having broken below the $82,575.00 resistance level that had been tested twice in recent sessions — leaving that level now some 1.1 per cent above Wednesday's close, once again overhead rather than behind. The momentum reading of 46.8 sits 1.1 per cent below the mid-range threshold of 50, a position consistent with the gentle deterioration this survey has traced across the fortnight. The twice-tested support at $74,952.75 lies 8.2 per cent below Wednesday's close.

The macro pressure that weighed on Bitcoin fell no less heavily on the broader market. Ethereum closed at $2,421.60, with momentum at 37.7 — some 6.1 per cent above oversold ground, and within 0.6 per cent of its twice-tested support at $2,405.98. That proximity deserves notice. Solana, at $104.29, carries a momentum reading of 37.7 and holds no nearby resistance; its three-times-tested support at $81.39 lies 22.0 per cent below Wednesday's close.

TRX, at $0.3325, remains compressed against its four-times-tested resistance at $0.3331, which lay a mere 0.2 per cent above Wednesday's close — a configuration that has persisted unresolved across the full span of this survey. Monero alone occupies the upper half of the momentum range, its reading of 54.2 placing it 2.2 per cent above the mid-range threshold. The sentiment barometer, at 44 out of 100, holds within neutral territory, though near the lower reach of it.
