Bitcoin Plummets 3% Amid Market Shifts and Technical Signals

Bitcoin fell more than 3% on Tuesday, September 16, 2026, according to Kitco. This decline was accompanied by a second TBT Bearish Divergence similar to one seen in May and a loss of the 0.786 Fibonacci level.

Aaron Dishner, co-founder and lead instructor at The Better Traders, Inc., notes that this pullback has occurred against market structures that held up previously. He suggests using volatility, oil, and uranium as decision points for the next move.

The ETH/BTC pair also printed a bearish divergence but wicked into its Cloud without closing there, which Dishner considers meaningful because the deterioration is real but uneven.
