Bitcoin has reached $65,600 today, while Ethereum is just a step away from the $2,000 level.

Meanwhile, the market remains active with a lively correction, as nine of the major institutional players in the Bitcoin ecosystem announced the formation of the Bitcoin Security Consortium, an initiative aimed at supporting the long-term security and sustainability of the Bitcoin network. The combined commitment from participants amounts to $15 million over the next three years, with founders including Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, BlackRock, Block, Blockstream, Coinbase, Fidelity Digital Assets, Galaxy, and Strategy, representing almost the entire spectrum of the institutional market from custodians and exchanges to asset managers and payment providers.

The main practical task of the consortium is to fund existing developers and researchers working on securing the network, including long-term preparations for Bitcoin's potential challenges posed by the era of quantum computing. Each participant is directing their funding to selected developers, researchers, and organizations independently. At the same time, the consortium coordinates the overall initiative and serves as a source of reliable information about progress for investors, the public, and the media.

The consortium intentionally distances itself from interference in the protocol. The organization does not develop or direct Bitcoin's development, does not take a position on specific protocol changes, and does not speak on behalf of Bitcoin or its developers, as the development of the network remains the work of a global decentralized community of contributors.

It should also be noted that the quantum threat, for which the consortium was largely created, remains theoretical at this stage, not imminent. Large-scale quantum computers capable of compromising Bitcoin's cryptography do not currently exist, and authoritative estimates suggest that the emergence of such capabilities is still years away.

As for short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are described below.

Bitcoin

Buy Scenario:

• Buy Bitcoin today upon reaching the entry point around $65,600 with a target for growth to $66,300. At around $66,300, I will exit from buy positions and sell immediately on the bounce. Before buying on the breakout, ensure that the 50-day moving average is below the current price, and the Awesome indicator is in the positive zone.
• Buy Bitcoin from the lower boundary of $65,300 if there is no market reaction to breaking below this level, targeting $65,600 and $66,300.

Sell Scenario:

• Sell Bitcoin today upon reaching the entry point around $65,300 with a target for decline to $64,700. At around $64,700, I will exit from sell positions and buy immediately on the bounce. Before selling on the breakout, ensure that the 50-day moving average is above the current price, and the Awesome indicator is in the negative zone.
• Sell Bitcoin from the upper boundary of $65,600 if there is no market reaction to breaking below this level, targeting $65,300 and $64,700.

Ethereum

Buy Scenario:

• Buy Ethereum today upon reaching the entry point around $1,973 with a target for growth to $2,005. At around $2,005, I will exit from buy positions and sell immediately on the bounce. Before buying on the breakout, ensure that the 50-day moving average is below the current price, and the Awesome indicator is in the positive zone.
• Buy Ethereum from the lower boundary of $1,959 if there is no market reaction to breaking below this level, targeting $1,973 and $2,005.

Sell Scenario:

• Sell Ethereum today upon reaching the entry point around $1,959 with a target for decline to $1,936. At around $1,936, I will exit from sell positions and buy immediately on the bounce. Before selling on the breakout, ensure that the 50-day moving average is above the current price, and the Awesome indicator is in the negative zone.
• Sell Ethereum from the upper boundary of $1,973 if there is no market reaction to breaking below this level, targeting $1,959 and $1,936.
