Bitcoin and Ethereum have fallen in response to a further decline in the US stock market. Currently, BTC and ETH exhibit an obvious correlation with US stock indices. However, trading in a sideways channel now attracts sellers more than buyers. So, caution is needed when adding long positions. Bitcoin's repeated failed attempts to break through the $83,800 level have triggered its sell-off. The leading crypto is now trading at around $83,000. Ethereum had better luck: after updating the $1,848 level and a slight correction, demand for the instrument revived during today's Asian session.

According to Santiment, an interesting trend is emerging amid recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market: one of the most active groups of whales, holding wallets with balances between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC, resumed their active buying of Bitcoin. This could indicate that major players have faith in the long-term bullish outlook for BTC despite short-term fluctuations. Alongside robust active purchases, there has been a rise in Bitcoin withdrawals from centralized exchanges. This trend has been steady since March 23, suggesting that investors are looking to store their assets outside exchange platforms, which potentially reduces selling pressure on the market and strengthens Bitcoin's position.

The combined effect of these two factors — increased purchases by large holders and Bitcoin withdrawals from exchanges — could positively influence Bitcoin's price in the medium term.

As for the intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to trade on any significant dips in Bitcoin and Ethereum, expecting further development of a bullish market in the medium term, which has not gone away.

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

Sell scenario

Scenario #1: I will sell Bitcoin today if the entry point reaches around $82,800, aiming for a decline to $81,600. I will exit the sell position at around $81,600 and buy immediately on the dip.
