BTC capped at 113.2k–115.2k: fade rallies, watch CPI__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is chopping in the low-110k, capped by a stacked 113.2k–115.2k supply zone, with macro headline risk elevated into CPI. Momentum: 📉 Range with bearish tilt — upside attempts fail below 113.2k–114k while HTF pressure remains risk-off. Key levels: • Resistances (HTF/LTF) : 113.2k–113.4k (LTF/240 PH) · 114.5k–115.3k (HTF/720 PH) · 116.6k (recent high, HTF). • Supports (HTF) : 111.9k–112.0k (W pivot) · 110.8k (240 PL) · 107.8k (D PL). Volumes: Normal on HTF; “moderate” upticks on 1H–30m during failed breakouts. Multi-timeframe signals: 1D/12H/6H trend down; 4H–1H mixed with a hard cap at 113.2k–114k; 15m micro-bullish while 111.96k holds. Strong confluence at 113.2k → 115.2k resistance and 111.96k/110.77k/107.8k supports. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: NEUTRAL SELL ; Global Risk Regime stays STRONG SELL — confirms the bearish bias and fades micro-rallies. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ As long as 113.2k–115.2k caps price, favor “sell the rip” and only buy on confirmed signals. Global bias: SELL while below 115.24k; major short invalidation on daily > 116.6k. Opportunities: • Tactical short on 113.2k–114.0k rejection toward 112.0k/111.0k; inval. above 115.3k. • Breakout long only on H1/H4 acceptance > 113.3k (retest holds) toward 114.6k/115.24k; inval. below 111.9k. • Defensive long on clean reaction at 110.8k or 107.8k if risk blocks improve (≥ NEUTRAL BUY on LTF). Risk zones / invalidations: Break < 110,77k voids defensive longs (opens 107.8k); H4/D12 close > 115.24k voids range shorts (opens squeeze to 116.6k). Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): CPI next (direct vol around 111k–112k pivot) · Geopolitics (NATO Article 4; Middle East) supports risk-off · US tariff path (SCOTUS) preserves trade-policy uncertainty. Action plan: • Fade-rally short : Entry 113.2k–114.0k / Stop 115.3k / TP1 112.0k · TP2 111.0k · TP3 110.8k / R:R ~1.8–2.5. • Breakout long : Entry > 113.3k (confirmed retest) / Stop 111.9k / TP1 114.6k · TP2 115.24k · TP3 116.6k / R:R ~1.6–2.2. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ HTFs remain bearish while LTFs attempt extensions under a dense overhead supply. 1D/12H/6H: Downtrend, rallies capped below 113.2k–115.2k; dominant supply, supports layered at 111.96k → 110.77k → 107.8k. 4H/2H/1H: Mixed reads; need a clean close > 113.24k to open 114.6k–115.24k, otherwise frequent fades back to 111.96k. 30m/15m: 30m cautious (STRONG SELL) vs 15m micro-bullish (NEUTRAL BUY); classic pre-catalyst divergence — wait for H1/H4 confirmations. Confluence/Divergence: Heavy multi-TF supply 113.2k → 115.2k; risk-on equities vs risk-off credit/crypto warns against chasing crypto bounces. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro is mixed (gold ATH, firm oil, US equities buoyed by cut hopes) while geopolitics heats up and CPI looms. Macro events: CPI imminently (sets risk tone) · NATO Article 4/Middle East tensions (risk premia higher) · US tariff track (SCOTUS) sustains uncertainty. Bitcoin analysis: 100–1k BTC cohorts accumulating, 1k–10k distributing — potential cap on impulsive upside; ETF flows cooling, consistent with consolidation below 114k–116k. On-chain data: Activity skewed by inscriptions/runes; sentiment in “fear” (44/100) implies positioning not crowded long. Expected impact: Range-to-down bias while < 113.3k–115.2k; a benign CPI could trigger a push > 113.3k toward 114.6k/115.24k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ The market stalls under multi-TF supply as key catalysts approach. - Overall trend: 📉 bearish on HTF; LTFs try but stall below 113.2k–114k. - Best setup: Fade 113.2k–114.0k into CPI with active management. - Key macro: CPI and geopolitics drive the global risk regime. Stay disciplined around the 111.9k–112.0k pivot and let confirmation lead exposure. ⚠️

BTC: 114.2k–116k Decision Zone into CPI__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is consolidating just below 114k after reclaiming 112k–112.5k, sitting in a 113.5k–114.5k decision zone. Intraday drives higher, while HTF remains cautious into CPI. Momentum: Tactical bullish 📈 — higher highs/lows on 4H→1H, but capped below 114.2k–116k. Key levels: • Resistances (4H/1H): 114.2k–114.6k | (6H/12H): 115.5k–116.0k | (12H): 117.0k • Supports (2H): 113.0k–113.2k | (W/4H): 111.9k–112.3k | (4H): 110.8k Volumes: Normal on 1D/12H, Moderate on 4H/2H, Very high on 1H/30m/15m during impulses. Multi-timeframe signals: 1D/12H MTFTI Up but broader caution; 4H/2H/1H in NEUTRE ACHAT with rising volumes; short‑term divergence as 12H is still hesitant. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: NEUTRE VENTE — a mild risk‑off backdrop that contradicts intraday momentum; watch for a flip to NEUTRE ACHAT to validate continuation. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Approach: favor continuation buys on breakout with quick invalidations while HTF remains mixed. Global bias: Tactical NEUTRE ACHAT above 113.6k; swing invalidation if 111.9k then 110.8k break. Opportunities: • Breakout buy: 2H/4H close > 114.6k → aim 115.6k then 117k; stop 113.6k. • Pullback buy: 112.2k–112.3k with absorption/volume → 114.6k / 115.8k / 117k; stop 111.5k. • Tactical sell: failure below 114.3k + close < 113.0k → 111.9k then 110.8k; stop 113.6k. Risk zones / invalidations: Repeated rejection below 114.3k followed by a 113.6k loss opens 112k; losing 111.9k then 110.8k invalidates the tactical bullish bias. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): • US CPI Thursday: benign print supports a 114.6k break; hot CPI favors a fade under 114.3k. • US labor softening: bolsters rate‑cut odds (tailwind if CPI undershoots). • Pro‑crypto policy tone (SEC/HK): marginally improves regime if levels confirm. Action plan: • Entry: 114.65k (2H/4H close) / Stop: 113.60k / TP1: 115.60k, TP2: 117.00k, TP3: 118.50k • Approx R/R: ~1.5R to TP1, ~3R to TP2; scale size if volumes stay Very high and Risk On / Risk Off Indicator flips ≥ NEUTRE ACHAT. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Intraday risk‑on, HTF cautious: continuation is possible but needs regime confirmation. 1D/12H: MTFTI Up, yet backdrop “NEUTRE VENTE”; bounded between 111.9k–110.8k base and 114.2k–116k cap; daily HH above 113.5k needs confirmation. 6H: Ascending sequence from 110.8k; resistances 114.2k–114.6k then 115.5k–116k; pullback 112.2k–112.3k is attractive if volume confirms. 4H/2H/1H/30m/15m: NEUTRE ACHAT with rising volumes; breakout > 114.6k is primary setup; key divergence: Risk On / Risk Off Indicator still NEUTRE VENTE outside 15m → wait for confirmation. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro is the referee: CPI and weak labor frame risk, while on‑chain/crypto flows are constructive but demand confirmation. Macro events: CPI in focus (moderate consensus); very weak US labor supports rate‑cut narrative; selective global risk‑on (Japan ATH, China recovery); pro‑crypto policy signals (SEC/HK) add a marginal tailwind. Bitcoin analysis: Daily trend reclaimed >113.5k; immediate resistance 114.2k; acceptance >117k would open 124.3k extension; strong alt rotation can cap BTC’s relative upside; short clusters imply squeeze risk if breakout validates. On-chain data: Accumulation 108k–116k (URPD); STH ~60% in profit = fragile neutral state; neutral funding (compression risk); slower spot ETF inflows — need a firm close >114.2k–116k to convert. Expected impact: “Cool” CPI + pro‑crypto tone backs a breakout >114.6k; “hot” CPI favors a move back to 112k/110.8k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ Market at an inflection into CPI: intraday bullish, HTF cautious. - Trend: tactically bullish, but needs confirmation above 114.6k (then 117k). - Top setup: validated 2H/4H breakout > 114.6k with volume → 115.6k/117k; alternative pullback buy at 112.2k. - Key macro: CPI and weak labor steer near‑term risk‑on/off. Stay disciplined: wait for the signal or de‑risk pre‑event — invalidations are close, use them. 🚦

Bitcoin tight range below 113.24–114k, FOMC in focus__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is ranging tightly: repeated rejections below 113,24–114,0k while 111,956 support still holds. Momentum is split with 1D/12H constructive and 4H–6H still leaning lower. Momentum: range ⚖️ — bounces above 111,956 but a firm 113,24–114,0k cap stalls extensions. Key levels: • Resistances (D/12H/4H): 113.24–114.0k · 114.8k (extension) · 121–124k (HTF). • Supports (D/12H/4H): 112.2/111,956 · 110,086 · 107,026. Volumes: broadly normal to moderate; very high spikes on LTF during rejections around 113.2–113.3k. Multi-timeframe signals: 1D/12H held (constructive), 4H–6H down (pressure at the cap), 1H/LTF counter‑trend pops. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: NEUTRAL SELL 🟠 — slight sell bias that aligns with the ceiling at 113.24–114.0k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Strategic stance: as long as 113.24–114.0k caps price, favor defensive range-trading; switch to pro‑breakout only on confirmed acceptance. Global bias: overall = NEUTRAL SELL (mild) while below 113.24–114.0k; invalidated on 12H close above 113,241 with volume. Opportunities: • Defensive buy at 112.2–111,956/110,086 → aim 113.2–114.0k; stop < 110,086. • Rejection short at 113.24–114.0k → aim 112.2 then 111,956; stop > 114.3k. • Bullish breakout on 4H/12H close > 113,241 + successful retest → aim 114.8k then 121–124k; stop below 113.1 (failed retest). Risk zones / invalidations: • Break below 110,086 ⚠️ re‑opens 107,026 and invalidates range longs. • “Fake breaks” above 113,241 without volume expansion → trap risk. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): • FOMC in focus (high odds of a rate cut) → potential volatility around pivots. • Firm USD → headwind for risk assets, capping BTC near resistance. • Asian risk tone constructive (Nikkei record) + adoption (BBVA custody, KuCoin Pay) → medium‑term structural support. Action plan: • Defensive Long: Entry 112.2–111,956 | Stop < 110,086 | TP1 113.2 | TP2 114.0k | TP3 114.8k | R/R ~1.5–2.0R. • Rejection Short: Entry 113.24–114.0k | Stop > 114.3k | TP1 112.2 | TP2 111,956 | TP3 110,086 | R/R ~1.3–1.8R. • Breakout Long: Entry on 4H/12H close > 113,241 + retest | Stop < 113.1 | TP1 114.8k | TP2 116.0k | TP3 121–124k | R/R ~1.8–3.0R. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Higher timeframes hold structure, mid timeframes weigh on momentum, and LTFs rotate quickly near range edges. 1D/12H: constructive above 111,956, yet 113.24–114.0k is still the lid; acceptance > 113,241 would unlock 114.8k then 121–124k. 6H/4H: bearish tilt with frequent rejections below 113.2–114.0k; “normal” volumes → prefer selling range highs until 114.0k is absorbed. 2H/1H: tactical “buy the dip” while 111,956 holds, but no trend confirmation without a close > 113,241. 30m/15m: very high volume on rejections at the cap → “fake break” risk; scalping window between 112.0–113.3k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro is mixed (strong USD vs Asian risk‑on) with FOMC risk ahead; on‑chain supports a consolidation narrative with cooler TradFi flows but improving adoption. Macro events: • FOMC: rate cut expectations → directional impulse possible, but also whipsaw risk. • Strong USD: short‑term headwind for BTC, consistent with capping near resistance. • Nikkei 225 at record highs: constructive Asian risk tone partly offsets USD drag. Bitcoin analysis: • Adoption/flows: BBVA (custody via Ripple) and KuCoin Pay (on‑chain payments) support future demand; Metaplanet adds to “corporate accumulation.” • Critical zones: reclaiming 114–116k is needed to re‑ignite momentum; below 110,086 risks a 107,026 retest. On-chain data: • Accumulation between 108–116k; STH profitability ~60% → fragile without a push above 114–116k. • ETF/futures inflows cooling → limited near‑term conviction. Expected impact: • Range likely persists while 113.24–114.0k holds; upside requires a high‑volume breakout, otherwise expect rotations and traps. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is range‑bound with a credible cap at 113.24–114.0k and a defended floor at 111,956. - Trend: neutral to slightly bearish while 4H–6H remain down and 113,241 isn’t reclaimed. - Best setup: rejection shorts at 113.24–114.0k or defensive longs at 112.2–111,956 with tight risk. - Key macro: FOMC ahead, with a firm USD acting as a near‑term brake. Stay nimble: trade the edges, and only chase breaks backed by volume. 🔔

BTC 112.5k Gate: Breakout or Fade the Range?__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is coiling around 111–112k, trapped between 112.0–112.5k supply and 110.1k/107.3k supports. The setup is mixed: HTF still up, MT corrective, LTF rebounding cautiously. Momentum: 📉 Slightly bearish in intraday/MT, with defended lows but lower highs below 112.5k. Key levels: - Resistances (12H–1W): 112.0–112.5k (local supply), 115.9k (720/12H PH), 119.7k (W PH). - Supports (4H–1W): 110.1k (4H PL), 107.3k (D PL), 98.3k (W PL). Volumes: Overall normal; moderate spikes on 15m during failed breakouts. Multi-timeframe signals: 1D/1W Up, 4H–12H Down, 15m–2H Up → range confirmed; 112.5k remains the pivot to unlock 113.5k/115.9k. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: VENTE (risk-off) — it confirms caution and caps rebounds below 112.5k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Strategic stance: HTF trend intact but MT corrective — stay tactical, trade the range until 112.5k breaks. Global bias: “NEUTRAL SELL” below 112.5k; cautious bias invalidated on a 1H/2H close > 112.5k. Opportunities: - Momentum buy: confirmed breakout above 112.5k → target 113.5k then 115.9k. - Range sell: fade clean rejections at 112.0–112.5k while 4H–6H remain Down. - Defensive buy: wick + reclaim at 110.1k (or 107.3k) with tight risk. Risk zones / invalidations: - Below 110.1k: opens 107.3k, then 98.3k. - Above 112.5k: risk of squeeze toward 115.9k (invalidates shorts). Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): - Weak US jobs → higher odds of a Fed cut (risk-on if FOMC guidance cooperates). - OPEC+/WTI easing → less inflation pressure, supports dovish narrative. - JPY/JGB risk and US office CMBS stress → volatility noise and “hard asset” bid. Action plan: - Plan A (bullish breakout): Entry > 112.6k (1H/2H close) / Stop < 111.6k / TP1 113.5k, TP2 115.9k, TP3 119.7k (R/R ~1:2–1:3). - Plan B (range short): Entry 112.0–112.5k on rejection / Stop > 112.8k / TP1 111.0k, TP2 110.1k, TP3 107.3k (R/R ~1:1.5–1:2.5). __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ HTFs hold the uptrend structure while MTs correct; LTFs attempt cautious recoveries below 112.5k. 1D/1W: Uptrend intact above 104k; 115.9k–119.7k is the directional cap, need strong closes to open 124.3k later. 4H/6H/12H: Corrective with lower highs; concentrated supply at 112.0–112.5k — break required to free 115.9k. 15m/30m/1H/2H: Tech rebound off ~110k; attempts to reclaim 111.8–112.2k but volume confirmation is still tentative. Key divergence: LTF bullish vs MT bearish → prioritize tactical setups (confirmed breakout or mean reversion at the edges). __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro leans dovish, while on-chain/flows are neutral to mildly supportive. Macro events: Soft US labor boosts cut odds; WTI easing on OPEC+ supply signals lowers inflation pressure; watch JPY/JGB for FX/vol shocks. Bitcoin analysis: Consolidation 104k–116k; potential supply overhang from Movie2K wallets (~45k BTC); spot ETF inflows slowing curb external momentum. On-chain data: Cooling funding, rising stablecoin supply (constructive mid-term), STH sensitive around 114k–116k. Expected impact: Dovish FOMC would ease a reclaim above 112.5k → 115.9k; hawkish tone likely sends price back to 110.1k then 107.3k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is in a “decision range” 110.1k–112.5k inside the broader 104k–116k channel. - Trend: HTF bullish, MT bearish, LTF rebounding → cautious bias below 112.5k. - Key setup: Break & hold > 112.5k to target 113.5k/115.9k; otherwise fade 112.0–112.5k. - Macro: Rising odds of a Fed cut + softer WTI favor a squeeze if the technical trigger appears. Stay disciplined: trade confirmation, not anticipation — 112.5k is the key. 🔑

Fade 112k, buy 109.5/108k on signals__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is consolidating mid‑range within 104k–116k after a clean rejection below the weekly pivot high (~112k). Intraday momentum tilts bearish while higher timeframes remain range‑bound. Momentum: 📉 Bearish within a range — sellers active at 111.95–112.15, defensive bids lower. Key levels: • Resistances (HTF/MTF) : 111.95–112.15 (weekly), 113.5–114.0 (MTF), 115.5 (gate before 118k/121k). • Supports (HTF/MTF) : 110.2–110.5 (MTF), 109.3–109.8 (MTF), 107.9–108.1 (HTF). Volumes: Overall normal; moderate pickup on 1H retests of range edges. Multi-timeframe signals: 2H–6H point Down; 12H–1D more neutral; LTF (15–30m) show range rebounds — consistent with selling 112k rejections and tactical buys at 109.3–109.8 / 107.9–108.1. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: SELL (mild risk‑off) — aligns with the bearish bias as long as 112k caps price. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ In a range with MTF selling pressure, favor sell‑the‑rip and defensive buys on absorption. 🎯 Global bias: NEUTRAL SELL below 112k; key invalidation on a strong close >112.5k. Opportunities: • Tactical sell : Fade 111.95–112.15 on signal; target 110.5 then 109.6. (Stop >112.5) • Defensive buy : Bid 109.3–109.8 on wick/absorption; target 111.1 then 111.9. (Stop <109.3) • Breakout buy : Only above 112.5 on confirmed retest; target 114.0 then 115.5. (Stop ≈112.0) Risk zones / invalidations: • A reclaim >112.5 invalidates the sell bias and opens 114k–116k. • A clean break <109.3 exposes 108.0 then 106.8/104k. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): • Fed: Waller favors a cut vs Kashkari cautious; Beige Book “little change” — dovish tone would favor 112k/114k tests. • US labor: ADP/claims/ISM Services today — strong surprises can trigger a break of the 110.3–111.3 micro‑range. • Inflation mix: Oil <$60 (disinflation) but US tariff risks linger — likely keeps us ranging until 114k–116k is reclaimed. Action plan: • Short 112k rejection : Entry 111.95–112.15 / Stop 112.6 / TP1 110.5, TP2 109.6, TP3 108.0 → R/R ≈ 2.0–3.0. • Defensive long 109.5 : Entry 109.3–109.8 / Stop 109.2 / TP1 111.1, TP2 111.9, TP3 112.5 → R/R ≈ 2.0–2.5. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ HTFs are range‑bound while MTFs (2H–6H) drift lower; LTFs attempt technical rebounds. 1D/12H: Range 104k–116k intact; 111.95–112.15 capping; 107.9–108.1 as base — below 112k, risk skew toward 110.5 then 109.5. 6H/4H/2H: Lower highs in place; prefer selling retests 111.3–111.6 and 111.95–112.15 toward 110.5/109.5. 1H/30m/15m: Micro‑range 110.3–111.3; long scalps from 110.3–110.6 with confirmation ; moderate volume pickup on edge retests. Key divergences/confluences: Mild risk‑off + MTF Down = bearish confluence below 112k; absence of extreme volume tempers squeeze risk until 114k–116k triggers. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro is dovish‑but‑uncertain while on‑chain points to a digestion range — a setup favoring tactics over trends. Macro events: Fed split (Waller pro‑cut, Kashkari cautious), Beige Book steady; JOLTS down with ADP/claims/ISM due — directional volatility risk. Oil <$60 and soft Swiss CPI = disinflation, but US tariffs keep inflation risks alive. Bitcoin analysis: Broke below daily Ichimoku and retested as resistance; hesitation under a double‑top neckline; 30‑day realized vol low = uncertainty without panic. US spot ETF net inflows +$300.5M (Sept 3) with muted price response. On-chain data: Accumulation 108k–116k (URPD) and lost high cost‑basis → 104.1k–114.3k corridor; STH ~60% in profit = fragile; neutral funding and slowing ETF intake = capped momentum. Expected impact: While 112k isn’t reclaimed with volume, bias stays NEUTRAL SELL ; above 114k–116k, risk‑on resumes. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ A controlled range persists with an active 112k ceiling and selective dip‑bidding lower. - Overall trend: 📉 tactical bearish within a HTF range. - Top setup: Fade 111.95–112.15 with invalidation >112.5 and targets 110.5/109.6/108.0. - Macro key: Fed‑lean dovish but labor/ISM data could swing momentum toward 112k or down to 109.5.

Bitcoin range: 110k defended, 111.9–114k caps the upside__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is consolidating above 108.7–109.0k after the pullback from ATH, capped under 111.9–114.0k. Short-term momentum is improving while 6H/12H remain corrective. Momentum: 📈 Neutral-to-slightly bullish above 110k, but capped by 111.9–113.5k; 6H/12H still in a corrective trend. Key levels: - Resistances (HTF/MTF) : 111.9–113.5k (W/720 pivots), 114.0k (240 PL→R), 120.0k (W PH). - Supports (HTF/MTF) : 110.0–110.2k (recent shelf), 108.7–109.0k (720 PL cluster), 107.3k (240 PL). Volumes: Very high on 2H/1H/30m/15m; normal on 1D → credible rebound, not yet HTF-validated. Multi-timeframe signals: 1D in NEUTRAL BUY above 108.7k; 12H/6H/4H trending down (sell-the-rips below 111.9–113.5k); STTF (2H/1H) improving on volume. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context: SELL (moderate risk-off) → contradicts the intraday bounce, so be cautious until 114.0k is reclaimed. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Compressed range: favor opportunistic executions at the edges; wait for confirmed breaks. Global bias: Neutral-to-slightly long above 110k while 108.7k holds; swing invalidation on 1D close below 108.7k. Opportunities: - Defensive buy on 110.0–110.2k retest; target 111.9k then 113.5k if break confirms. - Tactical sell on rejection at 111.9–113.5k; target 110.0k then 108.8k. - Breakout buy if 12H/1D close >114.0k; target 117.4k. Risk zones / invalidations: - Loss of 108.7k on HTF close invalidates longs, opens 107.3k then 95.3k if weakness extends. - Acceptance >114.0k invalidates most shorts, exposing 117.4k. Macro catalysts (Twitter/News): - Fed leaning to a 25bp cut (Sep 17 FOMC) with a bull steepener → supports dip buys if ISM/Jobs confirm. - Gold at record (>3,500$/oz), softer USD, Asian equities broadly positive → mild tailwind for risk. - Policy divergence (ECB dovish, BOJ cautious) + geopolitics → potential capping below 113.5–114.0k. Action plan: - Long Plan: Entry 110.0–110.2k / Stop 109.6k / TP1 111.4k, TP2 111.9k, TP3 113.5k (≈1.8–2.5R). - Short Plan: Entry 112.0–113.0k on rejection / Stop 113.7k / TP1 110.0k, TP2 108.8k, TP3 107.3k (≈1.6–2.2R). __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Overall, timeframes are compressing: HTF resilient, MTF corrective, STTF recovering on strong volumes. 1D: Holding above 108.7–109.0k; acceptance >114.0k would open 117.4k then 120.0k. 12H/6H/4H: Lower highs/lows, favor sell-the-rips below 111.9–113.5k; rejection there likely retests 110.0k then 108.8k. 2H/1H/30m/15m: Strong-volume rebound; as long as 110k holds, a squeeze toward 111.9k then 113.5k is possible; losing 110k points back to 108.8k. Key confluences: Multi-TF support 108.7–109.0k; ceiling 111.9–113.5k with 114.0k as decision level → compressed structure favors an imminent move. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro modestly supports dip-buys while background risk-off tempers upside; on-chain is neutral-to-cautious, aligned with the technical range. Macro events: Markets price Fed cuts with a bull steepener; gold at record (>3,500$/oz), softer USD, Asia broadly green; ECB leaning dovish, BOJ cautious; upcoming US CPI/PMI/ISM and Jobs in focus. Bitcoin analysis: Ichimoku Tenkan/Kumo as overhead resistance; key pivot 110.4–110.7k; some watch 103–100k on downside; ETFs saw net inflows in August despite -6.5% spot → ongoing institutional demand. On-chain data: Large transfers (e.g., 7,860 BTC, 6,002 BTC) → potential liquidity/volatility; 6m/CTH cost basis near 107–108.9k as support; STH stress near 113.6k; no broad capitulation (SOPR ~1). Expected impact: Confluence for a 108.7–113.6/114.0 range; easing bias may help a topside break if volumes persist, otherwise rallies cap below 114.0k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC sits between 110k support and 111.9–114.0k resistance, with strong intraday volumes but a risk-off backdrop. - Trend: neutral-to-slightly bullish above 110k, yet MTF remains corrective. - Best setup: defensive long at 110.0–110.2k with <109.6k invalidation, or rejection short at 111.9–113.5k. - Macro: Fed cut path and softer USD support dips, but caution below 114.0k.

Risk‑Off Light: Trade the BTC Decision Zone__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is retracing off the ATH (~124.3k), leaning on the 108.8k HTF support and capped below the weekly 112.0k. Intraday flows and volume spikes are steering the tape near this pivot. Momentum: Bearish 📉 — retracement below 112.0k with sold bounces under 109.5k/110.7k, 108.8k acting as a shelf. Key levels: • Resistances (intraday → HTF) : 109.1k–109.6k (zone) · 110.7k (6H) · 112.0k (Weekly) • Supports (HTF) : 108.8k (12H/1D) · 107.4k (4H) · 98.5k (W Pivot Low) Volumes: Very high on 15m–2H (local climax) · Moderate on 4H · Normal on 6H–1D. Multi-timeframe signals: MTF trend is down (AVG Down) with a 4H tactical buy divergence — a bounce can develop if > 109.5k, else pressure towards 108.8k/107.4k persists. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: NEUTRAL SELL — light risk‑off regime, aligned with the bearish momentum. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Primary stance remains sell-the-bounce below 109.5k/110.7k, and while the daily sits beneath 112.0k. Global bias: NEUTRAL SELL while daily < 112.0k; bias invalidation on a daily close > 112.0k. Opportunities: • Tactical long: Reclaim/acceptance > 109.5k → target 110.7k then 112.0k, stop below 108.8k. • Fade the bounce: Clean rejection at 109.5k or 110.7k → target 108.8k then 107.4k, stop above the broken cap. • Swing long: Only on daily close > 112.0k → 115.5k / 117.4k, stop < 109.5k. Risk zones / invalidations: • Lose 108.8k → test 107.4k; below 107.4k, possible “air pocket” toward 98.5k. • Upside flip needs a confirmed daily reclaim of 112.0k. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): • Fed: rising rate‑cut odds (Powell steady at 2%) — can aid relief rallies. • Inflation hedges: gold ATH, silver > $40, copper firm — real‑asset bid may spill over to BTC. • Flows: short‑term rotation into ETH ETFs, BTC ETF outflows — relative headwind for BTC. Action plan: • Short the pop: Entry 109.5k–110.7k on rejection / Stop +0.4–0.6% / TP1 108.8k, TP2 107.4k, TP3 105–106k / R:R ~1.5–2.5R. • Breakout long: Entry on daily acceptance > 112.0k / Stop < 109.5k / TP1 115.5k, TP2 117.4k, TP3 120k / R:R ~1.7–2.2R. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ HTFs lean down, while intraday strength shows in volume spikes without structural confirmation yet. 1D/12H/6H: Controlled downtrend below 112.0k; ceilings at 109.5k → 110.7k; support stack 108.8k then 107.4k — daily close > 112.0k needed to unlock 115.5k/117.4k. 4H: Short base above 108.8k with ISPD buy divergence; requires break & hold > 109.5k to open 111,997/112.0k. 2H/1H/30m/15m: Rejections under 109.5k, very high volumes (aggressive flows) — range trading favored while < 109.5k; continuation only once 110.7k then 112.0k are reclaimed. Key confluences: 108.8k is the market pivot; “bull path” = 109.5k → 110.7k → 112.0k; “bear path” = < 108.8k → 107.4k → 98.5k (HTF). __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro backdrop is “light risk‑off” (softer Fed expectations vs sticky inflation hedging), while on‑chain anchors BTC near a key STH cost base. Macro events: • Fed: market leaning to a cut; Powell reiterates 2% — easier policy would support risk. • Liquidity: U.S. M2 at ATH and household debt at record — bolsters the “monetary debasement hedge” case. • Inflation hedges: gold ATH (> $3,550), silver > $40, copper strong — real‑asset bid can spill into BTC. Bitcoin analysis: • Seasonality: September historically weak; risk of a wick to 100–103k before potential Q4 rebound. • Flows: BTC ETF outflows (~$0.75B) vs strong ETH ETF inflows (~$3.87B); an OG whale rotated BTC → ETH — short‑term rotation headwind. • Near‑term map: 106.5k–108.5k with slight bearish bias; relief supply near ~113.6k. On-chain data: • STH cost base: 107k–108.9k support; relief resistance ~113.6k. • SOPR ≈ 1 (no broad capitulation); perps slightly short — fragile but not extreme. Expected impact: • Holding 108.8k/107.4k keeps bounces toward 110.7k/112.0k alive; losing 107.4k exposes 98.5k/95k. • A more dovish Fed would ease a move toward 113.6k/115.5k; otherwise, HTF supports may be retested. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC defends a major pivot at 108.8k while sitting under nearby resistance layers. - Trend: bearish/neutral‑sell while < 109.5k/110.7k and below 112.0k daily. - Focus setup: fade bounces at 109.5k/110.7k; flip long only above 112.0k (daily). - Macro: softer‑Fed hopes vs inflation‑hedge demand — light risk‑off regime. Stay nimble: watch 109.5k/110.7k reactions and 108.8k integrity — the next impulse will likely spring from there. ⚠️

BTC MTF down, LTF volatile: Plan A short, Plan B reclaim__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is consolidating at the range lows after the 120k–124k rejection, pressing the 108.8k pivot with a dominant bearish bias and sold rallies. Momentum: Bearish 📉 — lower highs/lows with price pinned at 108.8k (12H/1D pivot). Key levels: • Resistances (4H–1D) : 110.9k–111.0k; 111,956 (W Pivot High); 113.5k. • Supports (4H–1W) : 108.7k–108.8k (720 Pivot Low); 107,413 (240 Pivot Low); 98,353 (W extension). Volumes: Normal on HTF; moderate on 1–2H; very high spikes on 30m → volatility concentrated on LTF. Multi-timeframe signals: MTF trend is Down (1D/12H/6H); only notable exceptions are ISPD BUY on 2H/4H hinting at limited technical bounces toward 111k/113.5k. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: SELL — confirms the bearish momentum and risk-off regime, aligned with repeated rejections below 111k/111,956. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Strategic stance: with MTF downtrend and risk-off regime, favor selling rallies while staying nimble if a confirmed reclaim > 111,956 occurs. Global bias: NEUTRAL SELL; key invalidation on a daily close > 111,956. Opportunities: • Short on rejection at 110.9k–111.96k → target 108.76k then 107.41k. • Breakdown short on clean loss of 108.76k → possible extension into 107.41k. • Counter-trend long only after a confirmed reclaim > 111,956 with volume → target 113.5k then 117.5k. Risk zones / invalidations: • A daily reclaim > 111,956 invalidates the short bias. • A confirmed loss of 107.41k invalidates rebound scenarios and opens downside risk (98.35k in HTF view). Macro catalysts (Twitter/News): • Fed (Daly) turning dovish → potentially supportive for risk if confirmed. • Elevated geopolitical tensions → higher risk premium, supportive of risk-off. • US markets closed Monday (Labor Day) → thinner liquidity, amplified BTC volatility. Action plan: • Plan A (preferred, range short): Entry 111.0k–111.9k / Stop 112.6k / TP1 108.76k, TP2 107.41k, TP3 98.35k (optional) → R/R ~2.0–3.0. • Plan B (bullish contingency): After a 1D close > 111,956, buy pullback 112.0k–112.2k / Stop 111.0k / TP1 113.5k, TP2 117.5k, TP3 120k (retest zone) → R/R ~1.5–2.5. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ HTFs remain bearish while LTFs are volatile with a few unconfirmed bounce signals. 1D/12H/6H: LH/LL structure capped below 110.9k–111.96k; pressure on 108.76k then 107.41k; below 107.41k opens a window to 98.35k extension. 4H/2H: NEUTRAL SELL with local ISPD BUY; bounces toward 111k/113.5k only if > 111,956 is reclaimed, otherwise rallies tend to fail and get sold. 1H/30m/15m: SELL; micro-range 108.3k–109.8k; very high 30m volume → watch for sweeps under 108.7k with quick reclaim for scalps, else continuation toward 107.41k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro stays risk-off, but crypto-native flows (ETFs/stablecoins) provide dip support. Macro events: • Fed’s Daly hints at recalibration → more dovish tilt, potentially risk-supportive. • China PMIs are mixed (manufacturing contraction) → fragile global growth signal. • Hot geopolitics + US holiday → thinner liquidity and higher risk aversion. Bitcoin analysis: • Spot ETF net inflows → structural bid. • Spot demand neutral; perps more sell-leaning; critical 107k–108.9k (6M cost) vs 113.6k (3M cost) as rebound supply. On-chain data: • Large seller-related transfers → near-term sell-side risk. • Rising stablecoin issuance (USDT/USDC) → fresh dry powder to support dips. Expected impact: Risk-off favors “sell the bounce” below 111,956; ETF inflows and stablecoin liquidity may cushion 108.7k/107.4k; a sustained loss of 107k–108.9k would expose 93k–95k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ The market is bearish overall with LTF-driven volatility. - Trend: bearish/NEUTRAL SELL while capped below 111,956. - Best setup: sell rallies into 110.9k–111.96k toward 108.76k/107.41k; long only on a confirmed reclaim > 111,956. - Key macro: risk-off backdrop, partially offset by ETF inflows and rising stablecoin liquidity. Stay focused: watch 108.76k’s reaction and any reclaim above 111,956 to adjust bias. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________

BTC capped: fade rallies, buy confirmed reclaimd__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ Price is consolidating below a “stair-step” ceiling after the ATH pullback, probing the 108,665 pivot. Intraday flow stays bearish, yet a tactical bounce is possible if 108,665 holds and 111,890 is reclaimed. Momentum: 📉 Bearish tactically on intraday, compressing around 108,665 with layered resistances overhead. Key levels: - Resistances (HTF/4H): 110,860–111,890 (SR-flip + W Pivot High), 113,466 (240 PH), 117,249 (12H/720 PH). - Supports (12H/Intraday): 108,665 (12H/720 Pivot Low), 107.8k–108.0k (local wicks), 107,133 (intraday VAL). Volumes: Normal to moderate on 4H; no capitulation seen. Multi-timeframe signals: Intraday (15m–6H) trends Down; 2H/4H show early buy/divergence, 1D sits Neutral Sell. Any bounce likely capped unless 111,890 is reclaimed, especially with non-extreme volumes. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context: VENTE — confirms current bearish tilt and warrants tight risk on tactical longs. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Retracement under HTF ceilings: stay defensive — fade rebounds below 111,890 and only buy confirmed reclaims. Global bias: Neutral Sell while < 111,890; bearish bias invalidated on 4H/D close > 111,890 with acceptance. Opportunities: - Tactical long on clean reaction at 108,665 with 2H/4H validation, aiming 110,860 then 111,890. - First-test fade within 110,860–111,890 on clear rejection; target 108,665 then extension on break. - Breakout buy above 111,890 if confirmed, targeting 113,466 then 117,249. Risk zones / invalidations: - A firm 2H/4H close below 108,665 invalidates longs and opens deeper weekly supports. - Acceptance > 111,890 invalidates rebound shorts and risks a squeeze toward 113,466/117,249. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): - Fed’s dovish tilt (Waller, Daly) + M2 at ATH: supportive for hard assets medium term, timing uncertain. - September UST refinancing: typical early-month pressure followed by post-auction bounce — aligns with a near-term dip risk below 111,890. - Geopolitical tensions (Gaza/Iran): higher near-term risk premium, favoring a defensive posture. Action plan: - Defensive Long: Entry 108.7k–108.9k (2H confirmation) / Stop < 108.2k / TP1 110,860, TP2 111,890, TP3 113,466 / R:R ~1.5–2.2. - Rebound Short: Entry 110.86k–111.89k (clear rejection) / Stop > 111,890 (aggr.) or > 113,466 (cons.) / TP1 108,665, TP2 extension below lows / R:R ~1.8–2.5. - Breakout Long: Entry on 4H close > 111,890 with volume / Stop < 111.0k / TP1 113,466, TP2 117,249 / R:R ~1.6–2.0. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Overall, intraday is bearish while HTF is mixed, with a 2H/4H attempt to breathe around the 108,665 pivot. 1D/12H: Neutral Sell; working 108,665 beneath 111,890 — reclaim unlocks 113,466 then 117,249. 6H/4H: Bearish trend with 110,860 SR-flip and 111,890 cap; sellers in control unless these reject; 4H shows early buy divergence. 2H: Early buy/divergence; reclaim of 110,860 can fuel a squeeze toward 111,890. 1H/30m/15m: Bearish micro-structure; failed bounces under 109.0k–109.5k; only invalidated by a firm reclaim > 110,860. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro is supportive medium term (dovish tilt, abundant liquidity) but short-term risk remains elevated; on-chain frames a critical 107k–109k pivot. Macro events: Gradual Fed easing setup (Waller/Daly), M2 at ATH, rising gold preference — structural tailwinds for scarce assets; yet September UST refinancing often brings early pressure before a post-auction bid; geopolitics argues for short-term caution. Bitcoin analysis: Mixed whale/institutional flows — record accumulation but sporadic large sells (dormant 10k BTC); fits a market defending 107k–109k while selling rallies below 113k–114k. On-chain data: STH cost basis 107k–108.9k (sustained loss opens 93k–95k); relief resistance ~113.6k; perps slightly bearish; limited realized pain — upside capped unless 111.9k/113.6k break. Expected impact: Technical + on-chain confluence supports a Neutral Sell bias below 111,890, with near-term dip risk before potential post-catalyst buying. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ Market sits in a low-range beneath HTF ceilings, with 108,665 as the pivotal line. - Trend: intraday bearish/neutral; HTF mixed until 111,890 is reclaimed. - Key setup: fade 110.86k–111.89k, or run a defensive long at 108,665 with 2H/4H confirmation. - Macro: dovish Fed tilt but refinancing/geopolitics keep short-term risk elevated. Stay disciplined: defend 108,665 with tight stops and trim under 111.9k; above it, let winners ride toward 113,466–117,249. ⚠️

Mild risk-off: 112k key wall, 108.6k floor in focus__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC trades in a tight range below a major 111.9k–112.0k wall, while 108.6k remains a key floor. Macro is balanced, leaving near-term price action driven by technicals. Momentum: 📉 Mildly bearish — lower highs/lows under 112k, with supports still defended. Key levels: • Resistances (W/12H, 2H/1H, 4H) : 111.9k–112.0k (major pivot), 113.0k–113.6k (supply + on-chain 3M cost), 115.3k (240 Pivot High). • Supports (1H/30m, 2H, 12H) : 110.0k–110.2k (intraday demand), 109.4k–109.6k (2H demand), 108.6k (720 Pivot Low 12H). Volumes: Normal on 1D–12H, moderate on 4H–2H, and very high on 1H–15m → elevated intraday fakeout risk. Multi-timeframe signals: Overall MTF in NEUTRAL SELL (1D/12H/6H/2H/1H), with a more constructive 4H (ISPD DIV = BUY) hinting at a tactical bounce if 110.8k holds. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context: NEUTRAL SELL → a slight risk-off tone that confirms the cautious momentum below 112k (30m/15m = SELL). __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Strategy favors “sell the rips below 112k,” while staying ready for defensive longs at 108.6k only on strong reactions. Global bias: Overall NEUTRAL SELL while below 112.0k on closes; bias invalidation above 112.0k (4H/12H). Opportunities: • Range short: Fade 111.3k–112.0k on rejection wick → target 110.2k then 109.6k/108.6k. • Defensive long: Only on sweep/reclaim of 108.6k with follow-through >110.8k. • Bullish breakout: Buy 4H/12H close >112.0k → target 113.0k–113.6k then 115.3k. Risk zones / invalidations: • Below 108.6k on 4H/1D: long invalidation → risk of downside extension toward lower on-chain clusters. • Above 112.0k (holding 4H+): short invalidation → fast squeeze likely. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): • PCE in line and a “patient” Fed (Waller open to further cuts) → modest risk support without breaking the technical range. • Institutional flows: ~$179m net inflows into spot ETFs (Aug 28) → dip-buying support. • Rising MENA tensions → potential safe-haven bid if escalation.

BTC: 114.7k, the squeeze gate — fade or break__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is bouncing back above the weekly pivot at 111.965k after a clean rejection below the 116–118k supply, with higher timeframes still constructive while mid-timeframes remain under pressure. LTF buyers are active, but a reclaim of 114.7k is required to unlock a squeeze. Momentum: 📉 Bearish on mid-TFs, 📈 tactical bounce on LTFs; 1D trend remains constructive as long as 98–100k holds. Key levels: - Resistances (HTF): 113.6–114.0k (12H supply), 114.7k (key pivot), 117.5k (major cap). - Supports (HTF): 112.6–111.9k (incl. 111.965k W pivot), 110.9k (240 pivot low), 107–108.9k (on-chain STH zone). Volumes: Normal on 1D; very high on LTFs (1H/30m/15m) during the rebound leg. Multi-timeframe signals: 1D/1W = Up; 12H/6H/4H/2H = Down; 1H/30m/15m = Up → countertrend bounce that needs validation above 114.7k. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: VENTE — a risk-off tilt that contradicts LTF strength and urges caution below 114.7k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Strategy: countertrend bounce into HTF supply; stay opportunistic but disciplined, favoring sell-the-rip until 114.7k is reclaimed. Global bias: NEUTRE VENTE while below 114.7k; bias invalidated on a 4H close above 114.7k. Opportunities: - 📉 Fade: Short 113.6–114.7k on clean rejection; target 112.6k then 111.9k. - 📈 Buy the dip: Long 112.6–111.9k on strong bullish rejections; target 113.6k then 114.7k. - 🚀 Breakout: Long a 4H close > 114.7k with volume; target 116.0k then 117.5k. Risk zones / invalidations: - Clear acceptance > 114.7k invalidates shorts → squeeze risk toward 116.8–117.5k. - Break below 110.9k invalidates dip-buys → opens 107–108.9k (on-chain). Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): - NVDA: post-earnings volatility may spill over to crypto risk appetite. - Fed: high odds of a near-term cut → potential liquidity tailwind if confirmed. - Trade: Mexico–China tariff tensions add macro uncertainty. Action plan: - Plan A (fade): Entry 113.6–114.7k / Stop 115.2k / TP1 112.6k, TP2 111.9k, TP3 110.9k → R/R ~1.5–2.5. - Plan B (breakout): Entry 4H close > 114.7k (with volume) / Stop 114.0k / TP1 116.0k, TP2 117.5k, TP3 118.5k (if extension) → R/R ~1.8–2.2. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Overall, mid-TFs are still capping the bounce while LTFs push into supply. 1D/1W: Higher-timeframe structure intact above 98–100k; holding 111.9k allows a retest of 114.7k, then 117.5k if breakout. 12H/6H/4H/2H: Active down sequence; 113.6–114.7k clusters supply. Without a close > 114.7k, expect mean reverts into 112.6–111.9k. 1H/30m/15m: Energetic rebound with strong volumes; as long as 112.6–111.9k holds, buyers can force a 114.7k test. Major divergences/confluences: Strong confluence 111.9–114.7k; LTF volume spike not yet confirmed on HTF, pointing to range risk or rejection if 114.7k holds. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro is slightly risk-off, while crypto-specific flows show measured institutional demand and increasing stablecoin dry powder. Macro events: NVDA-induced equity/AI volatility can sway crypto; high odds of a near-term Fed cut support liquidity; Mexico–China tariff friction adds uncertainty. Bitcoin analysis: ETF net inflows (+$81.4M) indicate persistent institutional bid; 1B USDT mint and exchange rotations = fresh dry powder; mixed whale flows test supply but see absorption; hashrate near ATH and custody advances (Miniscript) strengthen structural footing. On-chain data: 107–108.9k = key STH cost basis; 113.6k = 3-month cost (supply on bounces); SOPR near 1 → no capitulation, perps slightly bearish and fragile. Expected impact: Risk-off backdrop (VENTE) caps breakouts; ETF/stablecoin liquidity can still power a squeeze if 114.7k breaks. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ Technical rebound sits right below a major HTF wall. - Overall trend: neutral-bearish while 114.7k holds; HTF uptrend intact in the background. - Top setup: disciplined fade at 113.6–114.7k; switch to breakout-buy only on 4H close > 114.7k. - Macro: a slight risk-off tilt (Risk On / Risk Off Indicator = VENTE) and NVDA-driven equity vol can dampen momentum. Stay nimble: watch 114.7k for a squeeze trigger and defend 111.9k to keep the bounce alive. ⚠️ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________

When Liquidity Sours but ETFs Shine: My BTC Cycle OutlookI’ve been digging into the current INDEX:BTCUSD Bitcoin cycle using my indicator, and it’s throwing up an interesting contradiction. If I focus only on the liquidity side – M2, the yield curve and high‑yield spreads – we look to be at the very start of a bear market for BTC and other high‑risk crypto assets. Those macro gauges are turning down, which would normally spell trouble. Yet, when I look at actual capital flows, the picture is completely different. Spot ETF inflows remain very strong and show real institutional appetite. In fact, they’ve been robust enough to offset even the whale selling on‑chain. Because of that, my Crypto Flow indicator is still flashing “risk‑on” even though liquidity is tightening. How do I square those two? My personal view is that we’re entering a stagflationary phase thanks to the Trump administration and a declining independence of the central bank and its increasing influence by the government. That means my model probably won’t look like the same as in past cycles in terms of timing and cycle length. I expect more back‑and‑forth: some days “more liquidity” will feel bullish, other days it will be seen as a policy mistake and turn bearish again. NASDAQ:NVDA Nvidia’s earnings will set part of the tone, but I also think inflation and asset inflation will be much higher than most expect. We’re in the fiscal stimulus endgame where assets may gain in nominal terms, but after adjusting for inflation there might not be much left for a simple buy‑and‑hold investor. In my mind, it’s shifting into a trader’s regime. And because many Americans have their retirement savings in the TVC:SPX S&P 500, I suspect Trump will support higher inflation while doing everything he can to prop up the stock market so ordinary citizens don’t feel poorer in real terms. In my liquidity model, the Z‑score is in a declining zone but has recently started to show some strength again. The big question is whether ETF inflows celebrate this turnaround or dismiss it as a false signal. One thing feels clear to me: everyone is being pushed into owning assets like stocks and ETFs. The only debate is whether institutions will continue to load up on crypto ETFs or rotate into traditional value stocks. I’m curious to hear what others think about where we go from here.

BTC 111,965 pivot battle: bearish bias until a clean reclaim!__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is consolidating below a critical weekly pivot after rejections in the 116–124k area, with rallies sold. The 1D/12H structure remains broadly constructive, but intraday and weekly pressure is still bearish. Momentum: Bearish 📉 below 111,965.5 (W Pivot High) — rebounds are faded until this pivot is reclaimed. Key levels: - Resistances (HTF): 111,965.5 (W), 116,400–116,900 (12H/6H supply), 117,495.9 (720 PH). - Supports (HTF): 110,400–110,600 (intraday shelf), 108,757.9 (240 PL), 100,000–98,530.3 (W PL zone). Volumes: Normal on HTF; moderate-to-normal on 6H/4H; very high 30m spikes on red bars (seller-driven). Multi-timeframe signals: 1D/12H = Up, 1W + LTF (2H/1H/30m/15m) = Down → net “sell-on-rips” bias below 111,965.5; bullish flip only above toward 116.4–116.9k then 117,495.9. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: Neutral Sell — confirms a slight risk-off posture, aligned with the bearish momentum under the pivot. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Strategic stance: while below the weekly pivot 111,965.5, favor a cautious sell-on-rallies approach; only flip long on a clear, confirmed reclaim. Global bias: Tactical bearish bias below 111,965.5; key invalidation on 4H/12H close > 111,965.5 (strong neutralization > 116.9k). Opportunities: - Fade 111.8–112.0k rallies toward 110.5k then 108.8k. - Breakout buy only > 111,965.5 with a held pullback , aiming 116.4–116.9k then 117,495.9. - Defensive dip buy at 108,757.9 with a tight stop. Risk zones / invalidations: - A break below 108,757.9 opens 100k–98,530.3 → invalidates dip-buys. - A reclaim/close > 116.9k invalidates rebound shorts (squeeze risk). Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): - Political pressure on the Fed and independence debate → rate-path volatility, direct risk appetite impact. - Trade/tariff tensions (record collections, 200% threats) + choppy oil → inflation uncertainty, jumpy curves. - Hedge funds extremely short VIX → September vol spike risk across risk assets. Action plan: - Plan A (dominant, sell-on-rips): Entry 111.8–112.0k / Stop 112.3k / TP1 110.5k, TP2 108.8k, TP3 100k–98.53k / R/R ~1.5–3R. - Plan B (bullish flip): Entry on held retest > 111,965.5 / Stop 111.6k / TP1 116.4k, TP2 116.9k, TP3 117,495.9 / R/R ~2–3R. - Plan C (defensive dip-buy): Entry 108.8–108.76k / Stop < 108,757.9 / TP1 110.5k, TP2 111,965.5, TP3 116.4–116.9k / R/R ~1.5–2.5R. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Top-down view: HTF (1D/12H) is still constructive, but LTF and 1W remain in control — the 111,965.5 pivot is the market’s hinge. 1D/12H: Under 111,965.5 cap; a clean close above unlocks 116.4–116.9k then 117,495.9. 6H/4H: Tech rebound from 108.8–109k; 4H shows ISPD = BUY (contrarian) — relief rally possible as long as 108,757.9 holds. 2H/1H/30m/15m: Descending structures; seller-led 30m volume spikes; dominant tactic = fade rallies below 111,965.5. Key confluences/divergences: Singular hinge at 111,965.5 across TFs; 4H contrarian BUY vs LTF SELL → bounce risk, but not durable without a pivot reclaim. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro remains binary (rates/inflation/tariffs), feeding flow volatility that maps directly to BTC’s HTF levels. Macro events: - Political pressure on the Fed (talk of firing Lisa Cook) and “SBR” debate → USD/UST swings, less certain rate path. - Record tariff collections, 200% threats, choppy oil → persistent inflation noise. - HFs very short VIX → heightened September vol risk, fewer “clean” breaks. Bitcoin analysis: - Technical: ~111k; 113k highlighted as reclaim level; below the Kumo → failure risks drift, reclaim suggests range re-entry. - Flows: +$88.1M net spot-ETF inflow (Aug 26) after heavy outflows → mixed, headline-sensitive. - Institutions: selective buyers (e.g., Metaplanet); US debate on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve → sentiment driven by headlines. On-chain data: - Derivatives-led, high OI with recent flush; notable USDC/USDT mints/transfers; exchange outflows → potential fuel, price must confirm. Expected impact: - This macro/on-chain mix supports a “Neutral Sell” bias while below 111,965.5; above it, room for a squeeze toward 116.4–116.9k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC sits below a decisive weekly pivot with intraday selling pressure and only a tentative HTF bid. - Overall trend: bearish/neutral while under 111,965.5; constructive again only after a confirmed reclaim. - Most relevant setup: sell-on-rips 111.8–112.0k toward 110.5k/108.8k; flip long only after a 111,965.5 close + pullback. - One key macro factor: Fed-policy uncertainty and tariffs keep volatility elevated and cap breakouts. Stay disciplined: trade HTF levels, respect invalidations, and watch the volume spikes. ⚠️ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________

Risk-Off in play: fragile bounce until 111k is reclaimed__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC remains in a controlled pullback after the 124,277 rejection, compressing above 109k and gravitating toward the 107,100 HTF pivot. Sellers keep the upper hand, but a technical bounce can emerge if key supports hold. Momentum: Bearish 📉 with lower highs/lows; selling pressure dominates below 111k. Key levels: – Resistances (HTF/LTF): 110.6–111.0k • 111.9k (W) • 114–115k (D) – Supports (HTF): 109.0–109.3k • 107,100 (240 PL) • 103,000 (former demand) Volumes: Moderate on 2H–6H, Normal on 1D → no capitulation; likely low‑range chop/wicks. Multi-timeframe signals: LTF (15m–2H) trending down; 4H/2H show local bullish divergence (ISPD = BUY) near 107.1k; overall trend bias still Down. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: SELL (sell bias) — confirms the bearish momentum; a move to NEUTRE ACHAT would better support a bounce. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Below 111k, sellers drive the tape; favor “sell the rip” while keeping a tactical long only on clean reactions at support. Global bias: Mildly bearish below 111.0k; main invalidation on a 4H close > 111.0k. Opportunities: – Fade the 110.6–111.0k bounce with a tight stop; target 109.6k then 109.0k. – Tactical long on a strong 107.1k reaction (wick rejection + 2H/4H reclaim > 110.6k), target 111.9k. – Continuation short if 4H/D closes below 107.1k toward 103k. Risk zones / invalidations: – A firm break below 107.1k invalidates longs and opens 103k, then 96.3k. – A confirmed reclaim above 111.9k invalidates most shorts and opens 114–115k. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): – Powell signaling a possible September cut but data‑dependent → solid prints help reclaim 110.6k+. – US data (Durable Goods, Consumer Confidence) → negative surprises raise odds of a 107.1k break. – Trade tensions (tariffs/supply‑chain) → risk premium, can cap rebounds. Action plan: – Long Plan (tactical): Entry 109.2k and 107.3–107.1k / Stop < 106.8k / TP1 110.6k, TP2 111.9k, TP3 114–115k / R:R ~2.0–2.5R. – Short Plan (fade or breakdown): Entry 110.6–111.0k OR after 4H close < 107.1k / Stop > 111.2k (fade) or >108.2k (break) / TP1 109.6k (fade) or 103k (break), TP2 109.0k or 99–98k / R:R ~1.8–2.5R. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Most timeframes lean bearish, with 4H/2H contrarian hints at a major HTF support. 1D/12H/6H: Lower highs/lows under 111k; magnet toward 107.1k; 114–115k only after a firm reclaim > 111.0k. 4H/2H: Bullish divergence (ISPD = BUY) around 108.8–109.3k/107.1k; only buy if 110.6k is reclaimed, then 111.9k tests. 1H/30m/15m: Trend favors sell‑the‑rip; fade 110.4–111.0k; watch liquidity sweeps sub‑109k to 108.6k; need a volume regime shift to reverse. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro turns more easing‑friendly yet data‑dependent, while institutional BTC demand persists despite deleveraging. Macro events: Powell hints at a possible September cut (data‑dependent); RBA minutes tilt dovish; trade tensions (tariffs/undersea supply) → tactically supportive for risk unless inflation/geopolitics flip risk‑off. Bitcoin analysis: US spot ETF inflows (+$219M on Aug 25) signal resilient institutional demand; players like MicroStrategy near ~3% of supply → steady float absorption. On-chain data: CEX reserves ~3.27M BTC with recent net outflows; ~1,703 BTC moved from Coinbase Institutional to custody → accumulation bias, but high derivatives OI = squeeze‑prone. Expected impact: If easing narrative and inflows persist, reclaiming 110.6k/111.0k becomes more likely; risk‑off shocks raise the odds of a 107.1k break. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ Market sits in controlled range‑down, anchored by a key HTF pivot. – Trend: Bearish/cautious below 111k, bounce potential if 107.1k holds. – Top setup: “Sell the rip” at 110.6–111.0k; “Buy the dip” only on a clean 107.1k reaction and reclaim > 110.6k. – Macro: Easing bias (Fed/RBA) helps a reclaim, but US data and trade tensions can cap risk. Stay disciplined: trade confirmations and respect invalidations.

Bitcoin Fade 118k, buy 114–111k dips__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is consolidating below the yearly range high: higher-timeframe remains constructive while short-term momentum has turned lower. Sellers are active into 116.5–118k, with 111–114k catching dips. Momentum: Bearish 📉 intraday with a supportive 1D/1W backdrop; “sell the rips” under 116.5–118k. Key levels: • Resistances (4H–1D): 116.5–118k (major pivot), 120–121k (intermediate supply), 124k (ATH area). • Supports (2H–1D): 114–114.5k (range median), 111–111.7k (W Pivot High), 105–98k if 111k breaks. Volumes: Normal to moderate; on 2H–4H, spikes mainly on sell pushes below 115k. Multi-timeframe signals: 1D/1W = Up, 6H→15m = Down; 111–114k holds structure, 118k caps rebounds. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context: VENTE — contradicts bullish breakouts and favors selective range trading. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Game plan: trade the range defensively below 118k and be ready to flip long on a confirmed 4H/12H close above it. Global bias: Neutral-bullish as long as 111k holds, tactically short below 118k; higher-timeframe invalidation if daily/12H closes below 111k. Opportunities: • Reactive long 114–111.5k on wick/volume confirmation, target 116k then 118k. • Breakout buy on 4H/12H close > 118k, aiming 120k then 124k. • Tactical fade short 116–118k on clean rejections; target 114k then 112k. Risk zones / invalidations: • A 12H close < 111k opens 105k then 98k (HTF bullish invalidation). • A 4H/12H close > 118k invalidates shorts and flips the bias long. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): • Powell signaled cuts “may be warranted” and the FAIT regime is being dropped → risk-on tailwind. • Spot ETF flows turned positive again (ARKB, BITB), aligning with risk appetite → tactical support. • Stablecoin inflows: >$500M USDC to Coinbase → potential spot fuel if 118k breaks. Action plan: • Range-long: Entry 114.5k→113k (ladder) / Stop daily < 111k / TP1 116k, TP2 118k, TP3 120k / R:R ≈ 2.0–2.5. • Breakout-long: Entry on 4H/12H close > 118k / Stop ~116.5k / TP1 120k, TP2 124k, TP3 runner / R:R ≈ 1.8–2.2. • Range-short: Entry 116–118k (rejection) / Stop 4H close > 118k / TP1 114k, TP2 112k, TP3 111k / R:R ≈ 1.5–2.0. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ HTF structure remains constructive while LTFs lean bearish under the 116.5–118k cap. 1W/1D: Bullish structure above 111k; a confirmed 4H/12H close above 118k unlocks 120k/124k. 12H/6H/4H/2H: Lower highs persisting; rebounds get faded under 116.5–118k, with 114k then 112k as magnets. 1H/30m/15m: Short-term down channel, micro-range 114.8–116.2k; prefer shorts under 116k, reactive longs only on clean 114k signals. Divergences/confluences: Strong confluence at 118k (multi-TF resistance) and 111k (HTF pivot). This pair drives breakout vs. reversion scenarios. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro tilts mildly risk-on, but follow-through depends on holding closes above 118k and geopolitical calm. Macro events: • Post–Jackson Hole, Powell noted cuts may be warranted; US indices printed records, yields fell, USD slipped → risk-on support. • Fed is dropping the implicit FAIT while keeping 2% long-term target → clearer policy path, lower regime uncertainty. • Truflation near ~2.1% with slowing growth signs → higher cut odds, liquidity tailwind for risk assets. Bitcoin analysis: • BTC volatility: dip ~112k then bounce 115–117k; 118k remains the decision level. • Spot ETFs: outflows flipped to inflows (ARKB, BITB) → increases odds of a clean breakout. • Stablecoins: >$500M USDC to Coinbase = potential spot bid if 118k breaks; watch for deployment. On-chain data: • Elevated OI but recently cleaned up → leverage healthier yet sensitive. • Slower net capital inflows late-cycle; ETH-derivatives dominance → potential volatility spillover to BTC. Expected impact: Macro/on-chain slightly favor the top of the range; technically, bias flips only on a confirmed close > 118k, else range persists. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC holds a mature range between 111k and 118k with HTF tailwind but LTF headwinds. - Trend: bullish on 1D/1W, bearish on LTF; 118k is the trigger for 120k/124k continuation. - Best setup: buy 114–111.5k on clean reaction or follow the confirmed breakout > 118k; alternatively, fade 116–118k rejections. - Macro: Powell’s easing tilt + ETF/stablecoin flows support upside if 118k gives way. Stay nimble: trade the range until the break, and protect risk around key closes and macro headlines. ⚠️

Multi-timeframe signals: Intradays (15m→6H) trending down; 12H/1D/1W still up; aggregate trend down → correction under 114.7k/115k, repeated defenses at 112k. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context: SELL (moderate risk-off) — confirms intraday weakness; caution while < 115k. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Strategic stance: primary trend still constructive, but intraday flow is selling — favor “sell the bounce” into 115k until that pivot is reclaimed. Global bias: NEUTRAL SELL below 115k; invalidation if 4H close > 115k . Opportunities: - 🔻 Rejection short at 114.6k–115.0k → target 113.0k then 112.2k (invalid. > 115.6k). - 🔼 Reaction long on a 111.8k–112.1k sweep with confirmation → target 113.5k then 114.7k (invalid. < 111.6k). - 🔼 Break & hold > 115k (4H) → extension to 116.8k–117.0k then 120k (invalid. < 114.2k). Risk zones / invalidations: - A firm break < 112k (4H) unlocks 111.2k/109.3k; - 1D close < 109.3k = risk of STRONG SELL toward 100k/98.5k. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): - Powell at Jackson Hole today → could drive a 112k break or a squeeze > 115k. - US margin debt at a record (~$1.02T) → fragility if volatility spikes. - Inflation watch: rising oil and Japan CPI > 2% → temper near-term Fed easing hopes. Action plan: - Primary plan (rejection short) : Entry 114.6k–115.0k / Stop 115.6k / TP1 113.5k, TP2 112.5k, TP3 112.0k → R/R ~2–2.8 depending on fill. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Intraday timeframes keep correcting inside the 112k–117k range, while HTFs remain intact above 109.3k–112k. 12H/1D/1W: Uptrend structure intact above 109.3k; 115k is the pivot — reclaim > 115k reopens 116.8k–117k then 120k amid “normal” volume (no capitulation). 6H/4H/2H/1H/30m/15m: Lower highs/lows; compression under 114.7k/115k; repeated defenses at 112k; a 30m bullish divergence (contrarian) could fuel a bounce to 113.1k–113.5k without changing trend yet. Major divergences/confluences: Support confluence 111.8k–112.3k (seen across 6 TFs) vs priority sell zone 114.6k–115.0k — key axis for the next directional move. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Powell’s speech, elevated market leverage, and derivatives-led on-chain dynamics frame a cautious risk-off backdrop that can catalyze a range breakout. Macro events: Powell today with a split Fed → likely cautious guidance; US margin debt at record (~$1.02T) → vulnerability if vol spikes; rising oil + Japan CPI > 2% → dampen near-term Fed easing. Bitcoin analysis: Testing ~112k; many anticipate a sweep and quick buyback; weekly Kijun near ~99.4k echoes the 98.5k–100k HTF support; fresh USDT minted to Binance/Bitfinex suggests added liquidity/volatility. On-chain data: Derivatives-led market (elevated OI then ~-$2.6B purge); slowing spot inflows despite recent ATH; no clear capitulation → downside more mechanical than spot-driven. Expected impact: NEUTRAL SELL bias while < 115k; macro headlines may trigger either a false break below 112k or a squeeze above 115k — manage risk tightly around events. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ Intraday correction below 115k, HTF structure still intact above 109.3k. - Trend: 📉 Bearish intraday / 📈 Constructive on HTF. - Key setup: Sell rejection at 114.6k–115k toward 112k, or tactical long on defended sweep of 112k. - Macro: Powell + high leverage = elevated risk of directional spikes. Stay disciplined: execute the plan, respect invalidations, and adapt quickly around headlines. ⚠️ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________

BTC Between 112.6k and 117k: Trade the Pivot, Not the Ego__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is consolidating below 117k after a clean rejection, pressing a major HTF support around 112.6k. The pullback is orderly, with intraday downside inside a still constructive 1D/1W trend. ⚖️ Momentum: 📉 Tactically bearish — intradays trend down while 1D/1W remains broadly bullish. Key levels: - Resistances (HTF/MTF): 115.5–116.5k (4H–12H supply), 117,063 (240 Pivot), 124,277 (D Pivot). - Supports (HTF): 112,646 (240 Pivot), 111,959 (prior W High), 110–109k (lower liquidity zone). Volumes: Overall normal; moderate on 4H/15m → no climax, orderly pressure. Multi-timeframe signals: 15m→12H trending down; 1D/1W still up. Holding 112.6k keeps daily structure constructive; a decisive close below opens 111.96k then 110–109k. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator: VENTE (risk-off) — aligns with momentum and caps rebounds while below 117,063. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ Stay defensive: prioritize fade-the-bounce below 117k, while watching for a clean bullish reaction at 112.6k for tactical longs. 🧭 Global bias: Overall NEUTRE VENTE below 117,063; primary invalidation on 4H/12H close > 117,063. Opportunities: - Rebound short: sell 114.5–116.0k toward 113.2k then 112.7k (while < 117,063). - Tactical long: buy a wick + reclaim at 112.8–112.6k toward 114.8k then 117.1k. - Bullish breakout: add only on confirmed reclaim > 117,063 toward 120–124k. Risk zones / invalidations: - Breakdown: a 2H/4H close < 112,646 invalidates tactical longs and exposes 111,959 then 110–109k. - Reclaim: a 12H close > 117,063 invalidates rebound shorts. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): - Jackson Hole: potential hawkish tone post-FOMC minutes (inflation-focused) → headwind for risk. - Energy: oil rebound on US draws → short-term inflation pressure, supports risk-off. - Geopolitics: Middle East/Ukraine tensions → headline risk and volatility. Action plan: - Preferred setup (reactive long at HTF support): - Entry: 112.8–112.6k after wick and 1H reclaim - Stop: < 111,959 (1H/2H close) - TP1: 114.8k; TP2: 117,063; TP3: 120k - R/R: ~2.0–2.8 depending on execution __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Overall, intradays push lower into an HTF support that higher timeframes still defend. 1W/1D: Higher-timeframe structure intact while 112.6k holds; potential rebounds toward 117.1k if a clean pivot reaction prints. 12H/6H/4H/2H: Bearish bias with lower highs/lows; 114.5–116.5k remains a sell zone; watch for acceleration if 112.6k breaks. 1H/30m/15m: Bearish drift, micro-range 113.2–114.6k; mean-reversion possible but sellers in control without volume extremes. Key signal: 112,646/111,959 support confluence vs. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator in VENTE → decisive range battle; the break will define the next leg. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro risk-off (Fed/energy/geopolitics) weighs on sentiment while on-chain signals show timid demand near highs. Macro events: Markets focus on Powell at Jackson Hole after inflation-leaning minutes; oil rebound adds to inflation angle; geopolitics raises risk premium. Bitcoin analysis: Price ~113–114k; Monthly bullish, Weekly neutral, Daily bearish; US spot ETF outflows vs. HK listings — mixed institutional signals consistent with consolidation below 117k. On-chain data: 1Y MVRV Z-Score slightly < 0; subdued activity/fees near ATHs → modest spot demand, market catalyst-sensitive. Expected impact: Macro/on-chain backdrop supports an NEUTRE VENTE bias while 112.6k is pressured and no pro-risk catalyst emerges. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ Market is testing a key HTF support with intradays bearish but no capitulation. - Overall trend: tactically bearish, higher-timeframe bullish if 112.6k holds. - Most relevant setup: reactive long at 112.8–112.6k with tight stop; otherwise fade 114.5–116k. - Key macro factor: Jackson Hole tone that could trigger range resolution. Stay disciplined: wait for confirmation at the pivot — the break will decide. 🔎 __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________

Bitcoin Critical Test Strong SELL Setup & Support at 112k__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTCUSDT is entering a critical transition phase, with bears firmly in control and persistent compression around major weekly supports. Momentum : Clear bearish trend 📉 as selling flows dominate and every rally gets rejected under resistance; no major signs of trend reversal at this stage. Key levels : Resistances ( HTF & MTF grouped ): - Zone 121,500 – 124,700 $ ( D/240/HTF ) - 116,800 – 118,000 $ block ( 240/4H/1H ) - 114,600 $ intraday pivot Supports : - Critical pivot zone 111,980 – 113,000 $ ( W/HTF ) - Lower cluster 109,000 – 110,000 $ Volumes : Volume remains normal on high timeframes but defensive spikes are seen on 30min/15min, highlighting a lack of bullish capitulation and no sustained buying flows. Multi-timeframe signals : All major timeframes (D, 12H, 6H, 4H) show pronounced bearish bias; a few brief bottoming attempts on 1H/4H lack structural strength. No compelling bull signals across the board. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context : “Strong sell” Risk On / Risk Off Indicator bias is confirmed across all timeframes, directly supporting the bearish momentum; no current macro/technical element challenges this view. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ With a dominant bearish environment, strategy remains defensive—ready to sell failed bullish recoveries. Global bias : Strong SELL as long as the chart remains under 116,800 $; any clean break below 111,980 $ invalidates the short-term reversal scenario. Opportunities : - Sell into failed rallies under 114,600 – 116,800 $ (tight stop recommended) - Tactical scalps on weak intraday bounces towards 114,600 $ Risk zones / invalidations : - Bear extension likely if 111,980 $ zone breaks cleanly—targets 110,000 $ - Sustained move above 116,800 $/118,000 $ = short squeeze threat; instant stop required Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news) : - UK inflation re-acceleration sustains central bank uncertainty and a risk-off tone. - Broader sell-off in Tech/Equities weighs on crypto beta, amplifying the defensive backdrop. - Tether's latest stablecoin growth reflects dry powder, but structural demand hasn't returned yet. Action plan : - Entry: Short setups preferred below 116,800 $; confirm on failed test at 114,600 $ - Stop: >118,000 $ - TP1: 112,000 $ ; TP2: 110,000 $ ; TP3: 109,000 $ - R/R estimate: 2.5–3 depending on entry; tactical adjustments during FOMC minutes or major Powell speeches. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ All timeframes display a strong alignment to the downside, with only minor short-term volume divergences. 1D/12H/6H/4H : Price stays pressured below 116,800 $/118,000 $ with repeated rejections; support cluster 111,980–113,000 $ is key. No reversal patterns identified. 1H/30min/15min : Short-term volume spikes during defensive rebounds. Buyers quickly absorbed; attempted recoveries sold. 113,000 $ area offers tactical scalping but overall macro trend remains short-biased. Major confluences : All timeframes focus on the same weekly support and highlight repeated failures under identical resistance blocks, reinforcing the SELL scenario until further notice. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro and on-chain drivers reinforce the technical bearish stance. Macro events : UK inflation uptick revives global rate caution, Tech/Equities correction intensifies the risk-off mood, and all eyes are on FOMC minutes/Powell for major volatility; no bullish catalyst is evident. Bitcoin analysis : Institutional flows are drying up, structural support lost with an “air gap” visible on-chain down to 110,000 $. Opportunistic accumulation between 112–114k $ remains insufficient as profitability drops. On-chain data : Weak demand, defensive buying at local supports (113,000 $), negative ETF flows; intermediate capitulation phase is in progress, with further selling risk if 110–112k $ breaks. Expected impact : The combination locks in a dominant SELL bias, confirmed by technical readings; all rallies are tactical and made to be faded. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTCUSDT is locked in a bearish trend, defined by risk-off sentiment across both technical and macro/chain contexts. In summary: trend remains bearish, the clearest setup is a strictly-managed short around key resistance, with invalidation above 116,800 $. Macro drivers, including global risk aversion and waning structural demand, weigh heavily—no bull catalyst has emerged. Stay disciplined, monitor reactions at weekly support, and manage risk dynamically as new macro events unfold. __________________________________________________________________________________

Tactical BTC Consolidation—Major Support Under Threat__________________________________________________________________________________ 🇬🇧 Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ BTCUSDT is consolidating in a tight range just below recent highs, as directionless momentum and cautious sentiment dominate. 🏁 Momentum : Weak bearish bias 📉, with little directional conviction—short/MF timeframes remain in soft seller control. 🔎 Key levels : Resistances (1D/4H): 122,300–124,400 / 119,800–119,900 (upper range) Supports (1D/4H): 114,640–114,800 (crucial pivot zone) / 111,900 (historic floor) 📊 Volumes : Normal to moderate levels, no extreme activity outside minor spikes on 6H/30min. ⏱️ Multi-timeframe signals : Higher timeframes (1D/12H/6H/4H) structurally remain up, but momentum is exhausted; 2H and lower show persistent selling, as key 114,640–114,800 support is repeatedly tested across TFs. 🛡️ Risk On / Risk Off Indicator : Neutral sell bias —confirms a lack of buying pressure and calls for tactical caution. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ In this bearish range setup, prefer a defensive and adaptive approach. 🌐 Global bias : Overall neutral sell bias unless 114,640 is broken—dropping below invalidates any hope for a rebound. 💡 Opportunities : Buy only on confirmed reversal above 114,800 with a tight stop. Tactical short/sell on rejection below 119,800, targeting the range base. Wait for a breakout above 119,900 (with volume + risk-on confirmation) before chasing upside. ⚠️ Risk zones / invalidations : Firm break below 114,640 = potential flush to 111,900. Loss of momentum on MTFTI lower TFs (2H/15min) = avoid aggressive long anticipations. 🌍 Macro catalysts : Jackson Hole anticipation heightens volatility and market nerves. Strong institutional presence (MicroStrategy/Google/Canada) backs mid-term demand. No on-chain capitulation = technical floor is safe for now, but no bullish impulse yet. 📝 Action plan : Entry: on confirmed rejection or rebound (114,800 or 119,900 depending on signal direction). Stop: just under 114,640 for longs, above 119,900 for shorts. TP1: 117,200 – TP2: 119,800 – TP3: 122,000 (R/R ~2–2.5). __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ All timeframes focus on the tight 114,640–119,900 range, with each downside extension challenging the pivot. 1D/12H/6H/4H: Underlying uptrend stalled, price stuck at key support without reclaiming main resistances—momentum is drained. 2H/1H/30min/15min: “Bear control” showing, with supports cracking or close to breaking, and intermittent buying volume. A break below 114,640 could trigger sharp downside volatility. Summary: Major divergence between stalled high TFs and persistent short-term selling explains the battle for trend; sustainable recovery requires aligned bullish signals across multiple horizons. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro and on-chain context suggest a wait-and-see climate, with no imminent capitulation but increased caution. 🌐 Global traders await Jackson Hole, preserving volatility and a defensive posture amid ongoing geopolitical tension (Middle East). Capital flows remain cautious. 💸 Strong institutional involvement (MicroStrategy, Google, Canadian funds) reinforces Bitcoin’s structural support. 🔗 On-chain, most holders are in profit, altcoin OI is at record levels, and implied volatility remains low—a mix that could spark future volatility, but panic is absent. ✨ These macro/on-chain drivers reinforce the current sideways range and argue for a very defensive technical stance until a clear catalyst emerges. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTCUSDT is stuck in a compressed range with no clear directional trigger. Trend: Neutral seller bias overall, intraday bearish, key 114,640–114,800 support under heavy pressure. Best approach: wait for a clean defensive reversal at support, with strict stop management—no aggressive swings unless 119,800 is reclaimed. Jackson Hole remains the main macro catalyst; any surprise flow or event could quickly break the current stalemate. Stay nimble, watch 114,640–114,800 closely, and adapt rapidly to any macro or volume triggers! 📊 __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________

Bitcoin: High-Stakes Consolidation Before Jackson Hole __________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ Bitcoin remains in a consolidation phase just below key resistance, with bullish momentum fading after several failed attempts to break higher. Momentum: The overall trend is neutral to bearish 📉, as waning demand under resistance points to a lack of strength for a renewed uptrend. Key levels: Resistances (1D/12H): 118,575 – 122,218, 124,474 Supports (1D, 12H, 4H): 115,000 – 114,000 (immediate pivot zone), 111,900 (major weekly), 98,200 (extreme support). Volumes: Volumes are mostly normal to moderate; however, a recent volume spike on the 15min signals a potential speculative bottoming attempt. Multi-timeframe signals: Higher timeframes (1D–6H) show “Neutral Sell” to neutral, while intraday (4H–15min) turns clearly bearish, with some short-term reversal signals (divergences, extreme volume). Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context: The Risk On / Risk Off Indicator is in “neutral sell” mode — matching the directionless momentum, with no strong recovery signal observed yet. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ The dominant trend remains neutral to slightly bearish, prompting a defensive stance and readiness for scalping opportunities. Global bias: Primary bias is neutral to bearish below $119,500 — a sustained breakout above this level is needed to flip the trend bullish. Opportunities: – Aggressive scalp buys between $114,000 and $115,000 if reversal signals (ISPD DIV BUY + extreme volume) are confirmed; targets: $116,800, then $118,575. – Swing long only on weekly recovery above $119,500 with clear confirmation; otherwise stay defensive. Risk zones / invalidations: – A break below $111,900 invalidates any bullish scenario, exposing deeper correction risks toward $98,200. – Sustained loss of $114,000 without absorption = risk of sharp downside. Macro catalysts (Twitter, Perplexity, news): – Awaiting Powell’s Jackson Hole speech; implied volatility near lows could set up for abrupt expansion post-OPEX. – Geopolitics are relatively calm; gold and JPY serve as global risk indicators. – FX and index signals align with a cautious, unchanged environment. Action plan: Entry: buy scalp $114,000–$115,000 upon confirmation, stop below $113,800, TP1: $116,800, TP2: $118,575, TP3: $122,200; R/R approx. 2–2.5 depending on support response. __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Higher timeframes (1D–6H) remain in tight consolidation below top-of-range resistance, with intradays (4H–15min) showing pronounced bearishness and speculative reversal signals on lows. 1D–6H: Price is capped under $122,200; key supports lie just below ($115,000–$111,900). Structure remains a tight range — decision zone very close. 4H–1H: Signs of distribution, persistent lower highs, repeated testing of the $115,000/$114,000 support zone. No evidence of lasting bullish reversal; watch for potential flush. 30min–15min: Overall "SELL", but bullish ISPD DIV divergences and very high volume suggest a speculative bounce if support holds. Such divergences are often markers for potential intraday trend shifts and warrant close monitoring. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro remains cautious, while on-chain metrics illustrate both underlying robustness and short-term fragility for BTC. Macro events: Markets are on hold ahead of Jackson Hole; implied vol at/near all-time lows, dealer gamma high — any surprise catalyst could trigger significant volatility. A weak yen and Nikkei at all-time highs reflect shifting global risk preferences. Bitcoin analysis: After the recent sell-off, BTC is defending the 114–115k zone. Whales and institutions are accumulating, but institutional flows as a whole remain light; risk of liquidations persists if a further correction unfolds. On-chain data: BTC’s on-chain momentum is constructive, with little capitulation, but very low implied volatility flags a heightened risk of fast, outsized moves. Lever buildup in altcoins increases systemic fragility. Expected impact: This context suggests a latent market, with substantial swing potential on the next external shock, confirming a cautious and tactical technical stance — active risk management around current supports is key. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ BTC is trading in a high-range consolidation under resistance, with fading momentum and no macro catalyst in sight. Overall trend is neutral to bearish across most timeframes, yet speculative rebound (scalp buy) signals are emerging on the shortest horizons (15–30min). The best setup is an aggressive scalp buy zone between $114,000 and $115,000 for nimble traders. On the macro side, any Jackson Hole-driven volatility could quickly tilt the balance. Stay disciplined: a decisive loss of current supports could trigger sharp downside — active risk management is a must. __________________________________________________________________________________

Stablecoins as the New Macro Liquidity ProxyFor years, macro liquidity in crypto was gauged through broad monetary metrics like M2 or Total Market Cap. But those days are fading. With the rise of regulated stablecoins—and new TradingView tickers like CRYPTOCAP:STABLE.C (Stablecoin Market Cap) and CRYPTOCAP:STABLE.C.D (Stablecoin Dominance)—we now have real-time, on-chain liquidity metrics that better reflect how institutional and retail capital enters the crypto ecosystem. 🔑 Why These Tickers Matter • STABLE.C = Capital injection. → Tracks aggregate growth of major stablecoins, serving as a proxy for dry powder entering the system. • STABLE.C.D = Sentiment signal. → Measures stablecoin dominance relative to the crypto market. → Rising dominance = risk-off (capital parked). → Falling dominance = risk-on (capital deploying). Together, they offer a macro lens on risk appetite and capital inflow , updated in real-time—something no traditional metric can match. 🔍 How We Use Them These metrics are now integrated into our Crypto Macro Cockpit , where: • Stablecoin cap growth signals liquidity expansion or contraction • Dominance slope helps identify regime shifts (risk-on vs risk-off) We're beginning to see consistent patterns: ➤ Surges in STABLE.C precede market rallies ➤ Spikes in STABLE.C.D often align with rotation tops or periods of caution 📎 Implication Stablecoins are no longer just trading tools—they’re macro indicators. If ETFs are the Trojan horse for institutional entry, stablecoins are the bloodstream. As we transition into a new cycle, these tickers might become the most important charts you’re not watching. 💬 Would love to hear from others—are you using STABLE.C or STABLE.C.D in your analysis? What signals are you seeing?

Bitcoin’s tipping point zone: Key macro catalysts in play__________________________________________________________________________________ Market Overview __________________________________________________________________________________ Bitcoin is currently consolidating below major cycle highs, with upward momentum losing steam as sellers defend critical resistance. Failed breakout attempts and increasing volatility near key support hint at growing uncertainty. Momentum : The underlying trend remains bullish 📈, but short-term momentum is fading; daily remains up, but lower timeframes are softening. Key levels : Resistances (D/12H/6H): 120,000–124,000 (zone) — main overhead barrier. Supports (D/12H/6H): 116,926 (multi-TF pivot), then 111,119–112,000 (major safety zone). Volumes : Daily volumes are normal, but 2H is flagging extreme moves — any break under 116,926 could unleash big moves. Multi-timeframe signals : The uptrend persists from 1D to 4H, but there's a clear bearish transition in 2H and below. Structure stays bullish as long as 116,926 holds, with risk mounting on further retests. Risk On / Risk Off Indicator context : The “Risk On / Risk Off Indicator” is in "neutral sell" mode, showing a slight relative deterioration versus US tech stocks — confirming the slowdown in momentum, though no total reversal yet. __________________________________________________________________________________ Trading Playbook __________________________________________________________________________________ With price compressed under major resistance, the strategy remains one of tactical caution and reactive setups. Global bias : Cautiously bullish bias, maintained as long as 116,926 holds — this is the key invalidation threshold. Opportunities : → Short-term long scalp possible if a seller exhaustion (ISPD DIV BUY on 15min) forms near 116,926/116,000, tight stop required. → Swing long only if price reclaims and confirms above 119,119–120,000 zone. Risk zones / invalidations : → Clear break and close under 116,926 on H1/2H = bullish invalidation, next target 111,119. → Failure/rejection at 123,164–124,000 = exhaustion, beware false breakouts. Macro catalysts : → Powell’s Jackson Hole speech (Aug 22), key for market direction. → Massive BTC options expiration (~39K BTC, max pain near 118K), watch for post-expiry volatility. → Institutional inflows strong, but “pin risk” around options expiry could limit upside. Action plan : Entry: Wait for confirmed rebound on 116,926 (scalp or swing depending). Stop: Below 116,000 (short-term) / Below 111,119 (swing). TP1: 119,119 | TP2: 120,000 | TP3: 123,164–124,000 (if breakout). R/R: Attractive (>2 if setup respected, <1 if chasing or volume extreme). __________________________________________________________________________________ Multi-Timeframe Insights __________________________________________________________________________________ Across timeframes, the key story is compression under major resistance, a pivotal multi-TF support at 116,926, and mounting nervousness in the lower frames. Daily/12H/6H : Upward structure intact, but waning momentum under 120,000–124,000 signals possible transition to consolidation/correction if 116,926 is lost. 4H/2H/1H : Descending wick sequences, repeated support tests, rising volume, and a bearish momentum transition (MTFTI turning down in 1H/2H). 30min/15min : Aggressive selling pressure, local capitulation, and a bullish divergence on 15min (ISPD DIV BUY) suggest a potential but fragile rebound. 116,926 remains a true battleground: a breakdown here aligns bearish signals across TFs, while a solid rebound could quickly reclaim 119,119–120,000. __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro & On-Chain Drivers __________________________________________________________________________________ Macro and on-chain dynamics are in focus, with the Fed’s Jackson Hole stance, ongoing geopolitical caution, and high-risk BTC options expiration all in play. Macro events : US retail sales beat, revisions up, and a widening 30Y–5Y yield spread keep risk premiums afloat. Geopolitical events remain tense but have yet to disrupt the main trend. Bitcoin analysis : Options expiry (~39K BTC, max pain ~118K) could drive “pin” or sharp volatility. Institutional flows (Brevan Howard, IBIT) remain strong, but options-driven price action may cap upside for now. Defending the 116–117K support band is critical. On-chain data : 95% of holders in profit, no mass capitulation; implied volatility is near record lows — primed for a “big move” if a macro trigger appears. Expected impact : Macro and risk-on/off positioning keep technicals cautious — major support loss could spark a drop, but institutional reaction to Fed/policy signals could flip the bias quickly. __________________________________________________________________________________ Key Takeaways __________________________________________________________________________________ The overall bias remains structurally bullish, but short-term uncertainty prevails below 124K ahead of a critical macro/events window. The market sits in a long-term uptrend but is showing short-term technical fragility around support. The primary actionable setup is a tactical rebound near 116,926 if seller exhaustion is confirmed (15min divergence), while valid swing entries require a solid reclaim of 119,119–120,000. Macro catalysts (Fed/Jackson Hole, options expiry) are decisive for the next major move.
