Bitcoin - LifeTime opportunity if you read this!Bitcoin is in the last stage of the current bull market (from 15k to 130k) and you definitely want to know where to sell otherwise you can experience a huge loss in 2026. You don't want to watch your portfolio dropping by 50% to 80%. You probably already know that the market is completely manipulated by banks and huge institutions, so you have to trade with big money. In the Elliott Wave theory there is a well-known fact that triangles usually occur in the last stage of the trend, so if you see a triangle, you should be aware of this fact and act accordingly. I think this is exactly what can happen on Bitcoin during the September-October-November-December time period. So what is the plan? I think Bitcoin may go sideways in the next weeks, as you can see on the chart, to form a triangle, and then in December we may see a big breakout to the upside. 128k to 132k is something very real for the price at the end of this year. So is it really worth it to trade Bitcoin? Well, yes, but I think more opportunity is in altcoins! While Bitcoin will make a % profit on the spot, altcoins can make 100% to 500% on the spot. Choosing the right altcoins is not that easy, but I can tell you that DOGE looks promising, and we may see a new all-time high on this coin this year! Why is DOGE a good investment in the next weeks? First, because big players, they like this coin, and they want this coin to go up. There is really no second reason, because you want to trade with big money, not against it. No, there is another reason, and it's that you like dogs and you like this MEME. But if you are not sure about your coin, please leave me a comment + hit the like button, and I will make an analysis in response to you! Trading is not hard if you have a good coach! This is not a trade setup, as there is no stop-loss or profit target. I share my trades privately. Thank you, and I wish you successful trades!

BTC Long, but correction first. TL;DR BTC setup looks bullish — reclaimed support, VWAP and trendline are holding, and I expect a retest of the yellow box. However, BTC Dominance is showing strength, which could spell trouble for alts if it pushes above the red box. So the play is: long BTC, be cautious on alt exposure. ///////////////////////////// I think this is setting up as a high-probability long. In short: we saw support flip into resistance, then resistance flip back into support. That’s classic manipulation — whales pushed the narrative to short BTC, only to reclaim the level and turn it back into support. I’m expecting price to come back and retest that zone (yellow box). On top of that, the VWAP has been respected all through the correction, and the trendline is holding. Both point to strength, not weakness — these are bullish signals, not bearish. I’ve marked out two stop-loss levels: SL1 (aggressive) – tighter risk but more chance of being wicked out. SL2 (conservative) – safer placement if you want to ride the setup with less noise. On the second chart (BTC Dominance): We’re seeing divergence + a breakout above the downtrend line. That could be a headwind for alts — if BTC dominance continues higher, altcoins are likely to bleed. If BTC.D breaks above the red box, that’s a clear risk signal for alts.

Btc going downBitcoin is currently trading around 122,000 – 123,000, approaching the key resistance zone of 124,500 – 123,300. I expect the price to show a rejection or a stop-hunt above this resistance before entering a bearish move. Bearish Targets: • 🎯 Target 1: 108,000 – 107,200 (short-term support) • 🎯 Target 2: 105,000 (key support) • 🎯 Target 3: 100,000 – 102,000 (major base zone) • 🎯 Final Target: 94,000 – 95,000 (liquidity pool below) Reasons for this scenario: • Liquidity resting above 124,500 with a high chance of stop-hunt • Presence of unfilled FVGs (fair value gaps) below • Untested base/support zones between 100K – 94K

BTC: New ATH or One More Correction? The 78.6% Level DecidesIn every great story, there is a final challenge before the ultimate prize. For Bitcoin, that moment is now. The price is approaching the last major line of resistance that stands between the current price and a new All-Time High. This analysis breaks down that critical level and the tactical, counter-trend opportunity it may present. Bitcoin is continuing its uptrend after the correction to the 61.8% Fib level, which I showed in the trade idea " Bitcoin's Tumble: How Deep Does the Rabbit Hole Go? ", and is now approaching a very important level that will determine whether a new ATH will be formed or if the asset will correct further before that. This is the 78.6% Fib level - the last resistance level from which a short can be considered. Conditions for the Short Setup: 🔑 POI: 78.6% Fibonacci Retracement Level 🔎 ENTRY CONDITIONS: The price must find acceptance below the 78.6% level. Since this is a daily structure, this may require daily candle bodies closing below the level for confirmation. 🎯 MINIMUM TARGET: Bullish Daily Order Block below. ❌ INVALIDATION: A confirmed break and hold above the 78.6% level. A break here would signal a probable move to a new ATH. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The principles and conditions for forming the manipulation zones I show in this trade idea are detailed in my educational publication, which was chosen by TradingView for the "Editor's Picks" category and received a huge amount of positive feedback from this insightful trading community. To better understand the logic I've used here and the general principles of price movement in most markets from the perspective of institutional capital, I highly recommend checking out this guide if you haven't already. 👇 P.S. This is not a prediction of the exact price direction. It is a description of high-probability setups that become valid only if specific conditions are met when the price reaches the marked POI. If the conditions are not met, the setups are invalid. No setup has a 100% success rate, so if you decide to use this trade idea, always apply a stop-loss and proper risk management. Trade smart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you found this analysis helpful, support it with a Boost! 🚀 Have a question or your own view on this idea?

The cryptocurrency's current record high of $124,517 was logged on Aug. 14 on Bitsamp. tandard Chartered believes that a prolonged shutdown will be bullish for Bitcoin. Kendrick has noted that Bitcoin has a positive correlation with U.S. Treasury term premiums, which represent the extra yield that comes with holding longer-term bonds. They are currently on the rise due to significant uncertainty caused by the U.S. government shutdown. Polymarket odds According to Polymarket bettors, Bitcoin currently has a 7% chance of surpassing $200,000. At the same time, the odds of Bitcoin surpassing $135,000 as early as this October currently stand at 32%. Meanwhile, there is also a 5% chance of Bitcoin dropping back below $100,000 this October. #Write2Earn #BinanceSquareFamily #Binance #BTC☀ #SUBROOFFICIAL Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Is Bitcoin ready to go parabolic?If you see us restart posting trading ideas, you know the news must be good. Bitcoin has once again crossed $120k. Interest rates are going down, liquidity is rising. The pathway to a new Bitcoin All-Time-High seems firmly in sight. Even Altcoins, not a source of great joy so far this cycle, have seen momentum. Ethereum, Solana and other large-cap Alts are hovering near all-time-highs. The 'meta' of Perp Dexes has propelled HYPE, the currency of Hyperliquid, into the Top 20 Market Cap coins. The 'catchup trade' for other Perp Dex tokens such as Aster saw tokens jump 100%+ in a matter of hours. The animal spirits are back. In each crypto-cycle there are multiple simultaneous trends. Some of the are purely speculation, others are actual technical innovations, others are on the political front. This cycle so far has seen the by-far most positive political breakthroughs for the industry. Stablecoin bills and regulation in jurisdictions such as the US and Europe allowed stablecoin use-cases to reach breakout velocity. In line with that comes accessible yield, as stablecoins are often backed by US bond yields, and payments. On the scalability front, rollups, extremely fast chains, zero-knowledge scaling technology and next-gen chains such as Monad or MegaETH have become available and at least somewhat battle-tested. There is still no solution to the Blockchain trilemma of how to achieve scalability, speed and decentralization. Yet it is obvious that we are on the road to a solution. That is extremely bullish for the promise of Blockchains to eventually become the backbone for large parts of finance. In the meantime, this cycle's crypto price action has not managed to keep up with stock markets. The boom of AI has led to ever higher highs for the largest benefactors such as Google or Nvidia. The proliferation of ETFs that give exposure to new 'hot' topics, from modular nuclear to data centers, has made stock investing extremely accessible to retail investors. Many of these retail investors have previous first-hand knowledge of crypto markets' volatility and have so far refused to re-enter in the same numbers as last seen during the 2021 Bull market. Will a new Bitcoin all-time-high change this and lure traders back into crypto markets? The probability of this happening remains but the pathway is less obvious. First and foremost, Crypto needs to see 'large new winners'. Nothing gets a retail trader back like watching their friend earn significant returns from a 100x on a new coin. But too  many retail traders lost out in this cycle's launches due to insiders, overvalued market caps and a general lack of demand. Too few genuine retail participants have 'won'. For now though, Bitcoin continues to rise higher. The cycle continues. We ride on.

BTC looks like it could crack any minuteI'm no stranger to seeing insane volatility around BTC and the macros. Following the technicals a bit closer and knowing full well that many are in for the profit taking, BTC appears like it will come down any minute. Saylor may buy at the top, but also remember that he is doing that with other people's money and notoriously lost $6B in one day! I'd be very careful making any long traders here. Best of luck! CBOE:MSTZ could be a nice play :)

Btcusdt As long as btc stays below 124k the wyckoff distribution idea we saw in featured is still valid , with no OBV this pump is fake . Taker buy/sell ratio in binance is 1< meaning more selling pressure than buying . This pump is getting absorbed by the short term supply .. if etf inflows slows down a bit it will crash Btc . historically the market usually tops in Q4 each cycle and October is the month .. Goverment shot down will probably last 2 weeks no economic data will be released I don’t think the market will still be bullish with so much uncertainty I expect the markets to crash soon .

First Major Bounce 81.1kThe last Short was clearly premature, and was based purely on a technical level. Volume bust through it. Had I have waited for a stall and confirmed Distribution, the situation would have been better. Now that Shorts have been wiped, and the majority of the market is in a Long, I believe we can now drop to the first major bounce at 81.1k. When one side starts winning for an extended period of time, the losing side becomes "Unfavourable". Many who opened a Short and lost, fear opening another.

Bitcoin: Key Levels to Watch at 118,312 and 112,500Bitcoin is showing early signs of weakness. If the price breaks below 118,312, it could confirm the beginning of a corrective move from the 109,000 level. The potential correction zone lies between 113,414 and 114,770, with a possible wick extension toward 112,500. However, for the broader bullish trend to remain valid, Bitcoin must hold above 112,500. 🔹 Trading Plan: A short position becomes viable if 118,312 is broken, but keep in mind this setup goes against the primary uptrend. In that case, it’s crucial to either take profits quickly or set the trade risk-free. If Bitcoin stays above 118,312, I will remain on the sidelines and wait for the market to build a clearer structure before entering any new positions. This is a market that rewards patience—don’t rush into trades without confirmation.

BTC/USDT – Roadmap Toward $150K and BeyondIn previous analysis, we highlighted that BTC is in a re-accumulation phase, ranging above one of the most important trendlines of the current cycle. For more than 80 days, price has repeatedly tested this zone, each time showing strong bounces and rapid reactions, confirming the significance of this level. This sustained consolidation above the “magic trendline” is laying the groundwork for the next leg into price discovery. Should BTC achieve a decisive close above the red resistance box, the roadmap points toward a medium-term target of $150K, with the potential to extend further toward the $222K zone as liquidity unlocks and trend momentum accelerates.

Understanding Ichimoku Cloud In Trading🔹 1. Introduction What is Ichimoku Cloud? Ichimoku Kinko Hyo translates to “one‑glance equilibrium chart.” It is a rules‑based charting framework that maps trend, momentum, support/resistance, and forward projections in a single overlay so traders can make decisions quickly and objectively. What makes Ichimoku different? All‑in‑one system: Measures trend, momentum, and structure without adding separate indicators. Forward projection: The Cloud and Kumo twists project future support/resistance zones rather than only reacting to past price. Equilibrium logic: Midpoint calculations emphasize market balance over raw averages, often reacting more cleanly to range boundaries and trend pullbacks. Visual speed: Color/position relationships produce a high‑signal, low‑clutter read—hence “one glance.” 🔹 2. History Ichimoku was developed by Goichi Hosoda , a Japanese journalist who published under the pen name Ichimoku Sanjin. Between the 1930s and the 1960s, Hosoda and a team of assistants tested price and time relationships by hand, iterating toward a framework that could summarize market balance quickly without sacrificing structure. His work combined price, time, and wave ideas into a practical template that traders could learn and apply on paper charts. The well‑known numbers—9, 26, and 52—come from the historical Japanese trading calendar, which used a six‑day trading week. More importantly, they create a short‑medium‑long cadence that preserves the internal geometry of the system, helping Tenkan/Kijun interactions line up with Cloud behavior and Chikou confirmations across many market regimes. Ichimoku remains relevant because it projects future structure, scales across timeframes, and adapts well to liquid markets from equities and futures to forex and crypto. Even in a high‑frequency world, traders still respond to visible structure, and the Cloud makes that structure explicit ahead of time. 🔹 3. Benefits Ichimoku reads trend, momentum, and structure in one glance. Trend shows in where price sits relative to the Cloud and in the ordering/slope of the spans (Span A over Span B and rising is healthy). Momentum appears in the Tenkan–Kijun relationship—their distance and angle—and in how quickly price reclaims Tenkan after a pullback. Structure is revealed by flat Kijun and flat Span B “magnet” levels that price gravitates to, plus Cloud thickness, which hints at how much “effort” the market needs to break through. Because states and invalidations are predefined, visuals become rules you can trade: a close back inside the Cloud flags rising risk; Chikou clearing past highs removes nearby resistance; and entries are higher quality when Tenkan and Kijun align with a supportive, rising forward Cloud (often after a Kumo twist). The method scales cleanly from intraday to weekly and across assets. Many traders set bias with the higher-timeframe Cloud—only looking for longs when price is above a rising Kumo—then drop a timeframe to time entries as Tenkan/Kijun cross or as price retests Kijun from above. 🔹 4. Components Tenkan‑sen (Conversion Line): midpoint of the last 9 periods In a healthy trend, price frequently “breathes” around Tenkan—pulling back to it, briefly piercing it, then resuming in the trend direction. The slope of Tenkan reflects the pace of the move: a rising, well‑angled Tenkan suggests persistent buying pressure, while a flattening Tenkan signals short‑term balance. Tenkan often acts as dynamic support/resistance; repeated successful retests are a sign of momentum continuity, and repeated failures warn of loss of impulse. Tenkan = (Highest High(9) + Lowest Low(9)) / 2 Kijun‑sen (Base Line): midpoint of the last 26 periods Where Tenkan tracks impulse, Kijun represents the balance point of the dominant swing. Price tends to revert to Kijun after expansions, making it both a magnet and a filter. A rising Kijun with price holding above it confirms trend maturity; a flat Kijun often marks the range midline and a probable retest level. Many traders trail partial risk below Kijun in uptrends (or above it in downtrends) because losing Kijun typically precedes deeper mean reversion. Kijun = (Highest High(26) + Lowest Low(26)) / 2 Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): average of Tenkan and Kijun, plotted 26 periods forward Span A represents one boundary of the Kumo and reflects the average of the Tenkan and Kijun lines, making it more responsive to recent price action and a dynamic indicator of short-term trend direction. Span A = (Tenkan + Kijun) / 2 → shifted +26 Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): midpoint of the last 52 periods, plotted 26 periods forward Span B forms the opposite edge of the Cloud and is calculated from a 52-period high-low average, creating a flatter, more stable line that often acts as strong support or resistance due to its representation of longer-term equilibrium. Span B = (Highest High(52) + Lowest Low(52)) / 2 → shifted +26 Kumo (Cloud): the filled region between Span A and Span B; thickness visualizes volatility/“equilibrium buffer.” The shaded area between Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B on the Ichimoku chart. This "cloud" represents areas of support and resistance, with its thickness indicating market volatility and the strength of the equilibrium zone. A thicker Kumo suggests greater uncertainty and stronger price buffers, while a thinner Kumo indicates weaker support/resistance levels and reduced volatility. Chikou Span (Lagging Line): current close plotted 26 periods back; confirms alignment between current price and past price structure. Chikou plots the current close 26 periods back. When Chikou is above prior price and above the Cloud, the path ahead is typically “clear,” confirming bullish conditions. When it collides with past highs, lows, or Cloud edges, those features often act as retroactive obstacles; trades pressed directly into them carry lower odds and may require reduced size or patience for a cleaner setup. Chikou’s value is in context: it keeps you from buying breakouts that immediately smash into last month’s resistance or shorting into well‑defined support. Alignment of Chikou with price and the forward Cloud turns a visual impression into a rule. 🔹 5. Interpretation How to rate signal quality? Tenkan–Kijun cross (TK cross). A bullish TK cross occurs when Tenkan rises above Kijun; a bearish cross is the reverse. Crosses above the Cloud are strongest (trend‑aligned), inside the Cloud are neutral (higher noise), and below the Cloud are weakest for longs (and strongest for shorts). Cross quality improves when the forward Cloud agrees (Span A over Span B for bullish) and when Chikou has clear space. Chikou confirmation of breakouts. A breakout through a level is more trustworthy when Chikou is through and beyond the corresponding historical barrier. If Chikou is pinned beneath old highs while price breaks out, expect retests or false starts. Cloud breakouts and edge‑to‑edge logic. Breaks into or out of the Kumo carry more weight when the Cloud is turning (twist forming) and sloping in the trade direction. After a confirmed entry, price often traverses from one Cloud boundary to the other—especially when Span B is flat and acts like a target. Kumo as future balance point. The forward Cloud is a projected equilibrium. Flat spans, especially Span B, frequently attract price; thick areas behave as buffers, thin spots as gates. Reading these shapes ahead of time lets you plan scenarios rather than react. Multi‑timeframe alignment. Expectancy improves when the higher‑timeframe Cloud sets the bias and the lower timeframe supplies timing. For example, seek longs only when the daily is above a rising Cloud, then use a 1‑hour TK recapture or Kijun retest as the trigger. 🔹 6. Understanding the Kumo (Cloud) Kumo as Support/Resistance The Kumo is formed by the space between Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B projected 26 periods into the future. When price approaches the upper edge from below in a bearish regime, that boundary acts like resistance; when price descends onto the lower edge from above in a bullish regime, it often acts like support. Markets frequently hesitate, wick, or retest at these edges because they represent the consensus midpoint of prior swings carried forward in time. A thick Kumo implies a broad equilibrium buffer: price needs more energy to pass through, so reactions, pauses, or partial rejections are common. A thin Kumo implies a narrow buffer: price can pierce and switch sides with less effort, which increases the odds of swift transitions. Flat sections—especially where Span B is flat—often behave like shelves that attract price before it decides the next leg. Kumo Twist (Senkou Span A crosses B) A Kumo twist occurs when Span A crosses Span B in the forward projection, flipping the Cloud from bullish to bearish or vice versa. Because the spans are derived from midpoints, the twist is an early signal of changing balance rather than a guarantee of immediate reversal. It often appears while price is still inside the prior regime, and its reliability improves when accompanied by Kijun flattening, Tenkan/Kijun compression, or a Chikou approach to historical barriers. Trading before the twist can offer better entries but carries the risk of false starts if momentum doesn’t follow through. Trading after the twist sacrifices the first part of the move but benefits from confirmation—especially if the forward Cloud begins to slope in the new direction and price is already reclaiming or rejecting Kumo edges. Kumo Breakouts A Cloud breakout occurs when price closes out of the Kumo and holds that side on retests. A bullish breakout is a close above the upper boundary; a bearish breakout is a close below the lower boundary. Quality improves when the forward Cloud agrees (Span A over Span B for bullish, the reverse for bearish), the Cloud is thinning or already thin at the breakout point, and Chikou is simultaneously through the corresponding historical structure. False breakouts are common when the Cloud is thick and flat or when Chikou immediately collides with past highs/lows. Requiring a retest of the breached edge (turning resistance into support or vice versa) greatly improves expectancy, as does ensuring that Kijun is supportive (price holding above it in bullish contexts). Thin vs. Thick Kumo Thin Kumo generally reflects compressed ranges, fast transitions, and fragile trends. Breaks through thin spots tend to be quick but can reverse just as quickly if the rest of the system (TK alignment, Chikou, forward slope) doesn’t confirm. Thick Kumo reflects broader ranges and sturdier trends; passing through requires more energy, but holding the new side is more durable once achieved. You can think of width as a volatility filter: thin zones favor momentum pops and tactical trades; thick zones favor patience, staged entries, and giving the market room to breathe. Many traders normalize Cloud width by price or compare it to ATR to judge whether conditions suit breakout‑style entries or mean‑reversion fades. 🔹 7. Strategies Using Ichimoku Kumo as Support/Resistance This strategy uses Cloud edges as forward support/resistance. In an uptrend, pullbacks into the upper Kumo edge or into a flat Span B shelf often create decision zones; if price rejects the edge and recaptures Tenkan, the trend is likely intact. The opposite applies in downtrends. Entries typically trigger on a rejection close away from the edge or on the next bar that reclaims Tenkan. The stop sits outside the Cloud (beyond the pierced edge) to account for wicks. Expectancy improves when the forward Cloud thickens and rises (showing durable support) and when Kijun is rising beneath price. First targets are the recent swing extreme or the next flat Span B; if the bounce begins inside the Kumo, an “edge‑to‑edge” move toward the opposite boundary is a reasonable objective. High‑probability conditions: clear trend, supportive forward slope, and a bounce forming near a flat Span B rather than in the middle of a thin, twisting Cloud. Tenkan–Kijun Crossovers (TK Cross) in Context Crossovers are context tools, not standalone signals. A bullish TK cross (Tenkan above Kijun) that occurs above the Kumo with a bullish forward slope and Chikou clearance is the strongest variant. The same cross inside the Cloud is neutral, and below the Cloud is weak for longs (but strong for shorts in the opposite case). Early traders may take a cross below the Cloud when a twist and reclaim are imminent, but expectancy is lower without Cloud support. A practical sequence is: establish bias from the Cloud, wait for the TK cross in that direction, then demand either Chikou clearance or a clean retest before committing full risk. Stops belong beyond Kijun or the most recent swing that defined the cross. 🔹 8. Key Takeaways Ichimoku is a market framework, not a signal tool Ichimoku is designed to map equilibrium and project structure forward. Read it as a context engine: the Cloud sets regime and bias, Tenkan/Kijun express momentum and mean reversion, and Chikou verifies that the path ahead is clear. Decisions come from states and transitions—price vs. Kumo, span ordering and slope, TK alignment, and Chikou clearance—rather than from any one line crossing another. This is why the same template scales from intraday to weekly charts and across asset classes: you are reading the same language of balance, impulse, and structure. The synergy between components is the edge Edge emerges when the system agrees with itself. A TK cross is more than two lines intersecting; its quality depends on where it occurs relative to the Cloud, how the forward Kumo is sloped, and whether Chikou has cleared historical obstacles. Kijun provides risk structure and often serves as a dynamic stop or trailing guide; flat Span B and flat Kijun act as magnets and targets. When these elements line up—Cloud bias, TK timing, Chikou clearance, supportive forward slope—you have a trade worth taking. When they don’t, the right move is usually patience. Best practices checklist Use this short checklist to standardize your process and reduce discretion. Start with bias: Price relative to the Kumo and forward slope sets long/short/neutral. Demand confluence: Take signals when TK aligns with forward Cloud and Chikou shows clearance. Trade level‑to‑level: Plan entries/exits around flat Span B/Kijun shelves; they are natural magnets. Prefer break‑and‑retest: After a Cloud or key‑level break, wait for a retest and hold before sizing up. Avoid thick/flat Kumo: Stand aside or de‑risk when the Cloud is thick and horizontal; that’s chop territory. Use multi‑timeframe logic: Let the higher timeframe set bias; take lower timeframe triggers in that direction. Place stops beyond structure: Use Kijun or the Kumo edge instead of arbitrary ticks; give room for wicks. Scale and trail methodically: Take partials at Span B/Kijun targets; trail from Kijun → Tenkan as momentum builds. Size by volatility: Calibrate with ATR or relative Cloud width; widen stops and reduce size around twists. Let Chikou veto: If Chikou is about to collide with past highs/lows, delay or reduce risk. Treat Ichimoku as a map — the Cloud defines the terrain, TK tells you when to move, and Chikou checks that the road is clear. When the framework is not aligned, stand down. Trade only when the map, the timing, and the clearance agree; manage risk using the Kijun and the Cloud edges; and let neutrality be an acceptable outcome when the forecast is foggy.

Bitcoin: Possible ScenariosBTC daily has closed above 119k, keeping the probability of a breakout to a new high. I suggest possible scenarios: Failure to break above 124k from current levels and the formation of a Head & Shoulders right shoulder. Reasons: monthly timeframe divergence, overbought conditions, open interest imbalance, longs clearly outnumber shorts. Move to 130k from current levels. Reasons: crypto hype is still very strong, global recognition, government reserves, ETFs, strong pressure toward the 120k level, higher lows being formed. Breakout to a new high via a short squeeze, but sustained growth will be lacking. In this case, buyers will mostly be short-sellers being liquidated, with insufficient real demand to support price at higher levels. The move would wipe out the remaining weak shorts, after which a correction back to 108k–100k could follow. Reasons: monthly timeframe divergence, overbought conditions, open interest imbalance, excessive number of longs, too much hype and euphoria, political chaos in the US, overheated markets in general, especially the stock market. Crypto can surprise, but the technical picture still suggests a correction is approaching. This does not change my belief in Bitcoin’s long-term growth to seven-digit valuations — but not in a single rocket move, and not tomorrow.
