Solana ~ TRADE The CHOP: 3 Ways to Make ATLEAST +15%Choppy markets are identified by low volume and sideways trading / range trading. It seems uninteresting in most cases, but you don't have to sit around and wait for the next big impulse wave!
Here are three plays YOU can take during choppy markets:
1) 4H : Short Resistance
Chop trading can be a blessing - the price often touches the same support zone and the same resistance zone 2 - 3 times, before breaking out either way. This means that if you spot your zone early, you could take a short timeframe swing trade. Another way to find a trade is to look for gaps in the candles, for example:
2) 4H : Long Support
South Africa is in a time of turbulence, and the Rand is unpredictable as the effects of G20 settle in. During these times, and this counts for all markets, placing a low risk leveraged long on support is a way to trade the chop:
3) Daily : SPOT Hold to TP Zone
Nothing like a classic low risk trade - but you may need some patience with it! If you're not willing to look at charts all day, or have alarms wake you up at 2:30am to take a trade then this is your style., for example:
What do you do during choppy markets?
ALTS
PIEVERSE — Rising Channel Exhaustion & Correction SetupThe price is moving inside a clean rising channel , forming a classic three-wave structure: (a) → (b) → (c). The upper boundary of the channel has now been reached, and wave (c) shows signs of exhaustion, which often precedes a corrective move.
Given the overextended structure and the repeated reactions from the channel resistance, the market is likely preparing for a downside correction. Once the local top is completed, the price may break down from the channel and retrace toward the $0.20–0.16 zone, where the next major support cluster sits.
This area also aligns with the expected correction depth after a completed ABC pattern.
Key Points:
Clean rising channel structure
Wave (c) is nearly completed
Expecting a correction after resistance rejection
Main target for the pullback: $0.20–0.16
BTC.D OutlookFalling down with the 2017's pattern is a possible scenario. If happens so, we can have Altseason Q1-Q2 2026 until BTC.D reaches 40%. It may be the final target, but it can reach 24% in Q1 2027 if it wants to do the complete pattern; however, the whole market is down probably by that time.
ALTS HAVE ROOM TO THE DOWNSIDE.Alt's need retail participation to thrive.
If Global Liquidity tightens, #BTC rolls over into 4 year cycle lows (q4 2026)
BTC.d will rise along with Stablecoin dominance.
This inverted chart shows a well formed Head and Shoulders that is about to test again a key level of significance.
I DO NOT expect it to hold.
Ethereum (1W) 5 Year Pennant, Weekly Hidden Bullish DivergenceEthereum seems to be gearing up for a huge rally, despite the what I call 'Bearish Propaganda' in the news and permeating throughout social media crypto influencer discourse, calling for a 12-15 month bear market.
We see Ethereum bouncing off the lower trend line (demand line) of the approx. 5 year pennant formation on the weekly timeframe.
In addition, we have weekly hidden bullish divergence between the weekly MACD and weekly price action. Couple these 2 facts together, along w/ QT ending the 1st of Dec. 2025 and QE via liquidity injections coming soon, I find it hard to believe that Ethereum alongside major cap alt-coins will not rally.
This could turn into the most hated bull rally we've seen since crypto's inception.

Understanding BTC, Bitcoin Dominance and TOTAL3 Rotations✅Bitcoin Dominance, BTC, Altcoins✅
Today, We're talking about the rotation of cash between Bitcoin and altcoins.
Imagine a pie where each slice represents a different cryptocurrency. The pie here indicates the total cryptocurrency market cap of both Bitcoin and altcoins, which can increase or decrease at any given time. In other words the TOTAL chart.
- If BTC market cap increases but altcoin market cap shrinks (relative), the pie stays the same size.
- If BTC market cap increase and altcoin market cap increases, the pie size increase and so forth.
Total Market Cap and BTC.D
At most of the key moments, we see a clear inverse relationship here. Alts drop harder than BTC, as this clearly shows. But during the cycle, investors hop on and off, injecting money into the ride (buying) and taking it out (selling). This constant movement is what keeps the crypto markets going.
Let's break it down with visuals:
Chart 1: Bitcoin
This rollercoaster represents Bitcoin's price action, and also my view on where we are in the current cycle. (I believe we're in a multimonth correction, followed by the last impulse wave up probably close to XMAS 2025 as usual). You'll need this to know where we are in the cycle right now:
Chart 2: Bitcoin & Bitcoin Dominance
This chart shows Bitcoin's dominance, which is basically its share of the total crypto market capitalization (market cap = total value of all cryptocurrencies). When Bitcoin's dominance goes up (higher on the chart), it means investors are putting more money into Bitcoin, potentially at the expense of altcoins. Conversely, when dominance goes down, it suggests capital is flowing towards altcoins. The difference is clear:
Chart 3: BTC.D vs TOTAL3
In this chart, we overlay the Total 3 Priceline (BLUE) on top of the Bitcoin Dominance chart. TOTAL3 shows us all alts except ETH.
The Bitcoin Rollercoaster and the S&P 500:
When Bitcoin surges (line goes up), it can sometimes lead to increased investor risk appetite. This might entice some investors to move funds from the S&P 500 into riskier assets like Bitcoin, potentially causing a slight dip in the S&P 500. Conversely, when Bitcoin experiences a price drop, investors might flock back to the perceived stability of the stock market, potentially causing a rise in the S&P 500.
So, is there a guaranteed CORRECTION? All the signs are proving this may be the case. By understanding the relationship between Bitcoin, altcoin prices and dominance, you can get a better sense of where the money merry-go-round might be headed.
Altcoins - A Shift in Plain SightOne thing that stands out lately is how several mid-caps and low-caps have started to drift above CRYPTOCAP:BTC on relative performance. When BTC sits in the middle of the pack while pockets of alts are steadily printing higher % moves, it usually hints at a rotation brewing.
This kind of spread normally shows up when:
- BTC cools off or ranges after a strong move
- Liquidity becomes more comfortable chasing risk
- Traders start searching for higher beta plays
- Early bids creep in across multiple alt sectors at the same time
You don’t need a breakout or a big narrative to see it — the relative strength alone is a decent tell. When alts cluster above BTC while the rest flatten out, it’s often the first sign that the market is prepping for an alt window.
It doesn’t guarantee a full-blown alt season, but historically this type of structure gives a decent shot at short-term relief rallies or sector pops, especially if BTC remains stable and doesn’t nuke volatility across the board.
For now, the key read is simple:
If you see BTC is no longer the top performer in the group. When that happens, attention tends to rotate outward — and alts usually breathe.
$XRP count changed, wave 4 underwayCRYPTOCAP:XRP Wave 4 appears to be a flat correction defined by the poke above the all-time high. Wave 4 is expected to end at the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement, also the weekly 200EMA ~$1.2.
The multi-year triangle is a penultimate move, so continuation in wave 5 to price discovery is my preferred count. For no,w price is stuck in a range aboev the weekly pivot.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high as $4.31 based on the weekly pivots
📈 Weekly RSI is bearish with room to fall after printing bearish divergence
👉 Analysis is invalidated if we fall below $0.64, as wave 4 can not go below 0.55 Fibs
Safe trading
SUI Macro outlook changed...Price appears to be near the completion of a wave C correction.
Price is falling below the S1 pivot, bringing up the next target of the golden pocket and High Volume Node. There is no weekly 200EMA. The series of macro ABC’s suggests upside targets may be limited to the R3 pivot.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high as $10 based on weekly pivots
📈 Weekly RSI is bearish, almost oversold with no divergence
👉 Analysis is invalidated below wave B at $0.43
Safe trading
Sol continues to hold up strongCRYPTOCAP:SOL is holding up well with only a shallow retracement to the 0.382 for wave (4)- the weekly 200EMA.
Price is above the weekly 200EMA, which is bullish, but lost the pivot, which is bearish, giving the overall pattern ambiguity. Wave C is underway, but looks near completion at wave 4’s expected Fib targets.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high as $660 based on weekly pivots
📈 Weekly RSI is bearish with room to fall, but doesn’t often reach oversold.
👉 Analysis is invalidated if we close back below $50, as wave 4 can not go below the 0.5 Fib.

HBAR still holding strongCRYPTOCAP:HBAR Price has printed a textbook ABC for wave 2, but as long as we are below the descending trend-line, the probability is lower still. The wick has now been revisited, which is expected behaviour.
Price is below the weekly pivot. The next downside target is the S1 pivot at $0.075, which is also the alt-coin golden pocket, 0.786 Fibonacci retracement and High Volume Node support.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high as $0.8
📈 Weekly RSI is bearish with no divergence
👉 Analysis is invalidated if we close below wave 2, keeping wave 2 alive.

FET looking more and more like a pump & dump scam.Huge engulfing candle from the oversold threshold just above the 0.786 alt-coin golden pocket.
The trend remains down despite this candle with no bullish market structure yet. The weekly 200EMA is finally turning down. Until we get above the descending trend-line, the probability is lower. The 5-wave structure down hints at no new all-time high, as this is a motif wave.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high $1.2 when momentum returns
📈 Weekly RSI tapped oversold with no divergence and can remain here for months
👉 Analysis is invalidated above the weekly pivot
Safe trading
ETH hit my downside target now what?Wave 1 appears to have completed a leading diagonal with a poke above all-time high- what we expect from wave 1. Wave 2 is underway, testing the weekly 200EMA so far, and an expected reversal point- also the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement.
The retracement has been shallow, but ETH was beaten down and undervalued, making a shallow pullback expected. The 0.5 Fibonacci retracement is the next downside target at the S1 pivot.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high as $9000
📈 Weekly RSI was oversold with bearish divergence and has now reset below the channel EQ.
👉 Analysis is invalidated only if we get below the wave (4) bottom $1365

DOGE, Weekly bullish divergence!Uptrend remains intact from the wave 4 bottom. We could still be in wave 4 as they are characterised by their long, complex ranges. A flat or a triangle is possible.
Wave (1) appears complete as a leading diagonal followed by a deep wave (2), which is expected after this pattern. Price is bullishly riding the weekly 200EMA but bearish below the pivot. Wave (3) should be powerful and fast; any slow grind may hint that we are still in wave IV
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high as $1.7 based on Fibonacci extensions
📈 Weekly RSI has printed bullish divergence, a good sign but it can take weeks to play out
👉 Analysis is invalidated below wave (2)
BNB Count changed, wave 4 underwayPrice completed a macro wave 3. Wave 4 is expected to end at the 0.382 Fibonacci and may not extend below the 0.5. Crypto assets can overextend in wave 5, which I believe we will see over the next year.
ave 4 is underway testing the previous all-time High Volume Node and 0.236 Fibonacci retracement zone. Price remains in an uptrend.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle could see prices as high as $2000, the R5 weekly pivot
📈 Weekly RSI printed bearish divergence from overbought and is already resetting below the EQ. It rarely gets oversold.
👉 Analysis is invalidated below the weekly pivot and 200EMA
Safe trading
AAVE Macro outlook, weekly bullish divergenceA price range between $440 and $130 continues. Price appears to have completed triangle wave (c) of a larger wave B. Wave (D) is next, with a target of the upper boundary trend-line ~$340.
Price has lost the 200EMA but followed the outlined path of a pump and pullback after wave ©. The weekly pivot is the likely termination point for wave (E), but there is work to be done first. Price found terminal support at the golden pocket Fibonacci retracement.
We are just in a huge range, and there isn’t much more to say on the macro. This asset has been one of the best winners for trading the last 3 years, sticking to the rules strictly.
🎯 Terminal target for the business cycle is still the 1:1 Fib extension, but may be overextended to the 1.272, per wave C rules. Both are around the all-time High Volume Node ~$600
📈 Weekly RSI has room to fall and has printed bullish divergence.
👉 Analysis is invalidated below wave (A) or wave (B)

SUI Dropped hard! More to come?Price accelerated in a downtrend, falling below a major High Volume Node support, invalidating the macro triangle.
Wave C of a textbook ABC correction is underway with a target of the golden pocket. and S2 pivot at $1.
📈 Daily RSI is oversold with no divergence
👉 Continued downside has a next target of $1
Safe trading
SOL looks weak, lower in wave C?Price continues lower, a textbook ABC correction so far.
Wave B ended shy of all-time high. Price lost the daily 200EMA and is testing the major High Volume Node support. The probability is a continuation to the downside.
📈 Daily RSI reached oversold with no divergence
👉 Continued downside brings up the $112 target
Safe trading
HBAR still in the channel!Price is back in the descending range after dropping below during the flash crash, which can be viewed as an anomaly.
Wave 2 appears complete at the golden pocket Fibonacci retracement. Price was rejected at the daily 200EMA and channel upper boundary and has lost the daily pivot and High Volume Node, suggesting further downside is to come.
📈 Daily RSI bounced from oversold alongside price with no divergence.
👉 Continued downside has a target of $0.07 at the next High Volume Node support and alt-coin golden pocket 0.786
