BTC | Dead Cat Bounce...You know what it is?

609
Hello traders,

They say "even a dead cat will jump one more time if it falls too hard"

If you don’t know what a dead cat bounce is, this is not the environment to learn it the hard way. This is actually a classic bear market behavior.

That bounce feels super bullish. It breaks market structure. It gives all bullish signs. Looks constructive, and traps late longs. But structurally, nothing has changed. The bear market is only beginning.

In bear markets, rallies are designed ONLY to create hope. They exist to rebalance, mitigate liquidity, and offer smart money better short entries.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take what happened in March, 2022 as an example

Triple resistance rejections, followed by a break of structure, followed by a dead cat bounce. Then, bearish continuation...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have published an idea here on TV back in Nov, 2025 and it went super viral that everyone now adopts in on X

This dead cat bounce will confirm my thesis. From current prices to ~105-108k are PERFECT swing short entries.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When and ONLY when price breaks $108k and holds, my thesis will change to bullish. But, I dont reckon.

Good Luck!

We got a reaction from the 0.38 retracement level already. I will be starting to look for shift in market structure and accordingly look for short positions all the way to $106k
