Bitcoin's short-term warning signal stays active while long-term signals turn bullish

Sep 07, 2026

Bitcoin is cooling off in the short term even as longer-term charts flip bullish for the first time in nearly four years — mixed news for traders, good news for long-term holders.

  • A weekly trend indicator just flipped from bearish to bullish for the first time since the end of the 2022 bear market.
  • That flip is happening alongside a big bullish divergence on the weekly chart — the same pair of signals that marked the start of the last multi-year bull run.
  • Short term, Bitcoin is stuck under resistance and flashing a daily bearish divergence, pointing to a few days or weeks of chop or a small pullback.
  • Most of the liquidity now sits below the current price, so the path of least resistance near term is down.
  • Ethereum is holding just under its resistance without a hard rejection, while Solana and Chainlink cool off from overbought but keep their bullish structure.

Outlook: Expect a slight pullback or sideways drift over the coming days, with the bigger uptrend still intact.
