Fakeout? Crash soon
In this chart, I've marked the breakouts, and you’ll notice all three occur outside of U.S. session hours, with two on weekends where trading volumes are notably low. This pattern strongly suggests manipulation: market makers appear to push BTC’s price up when trading activity is minimal, potentially to trigger short liquidations. This isn’t how a true bull market typically starts. For a sustained uptrend, we’d need to see strong demand across major trading sessions, not just spikes on weekends followed by weekday selloffs.
Some may argue that ETF demand is driving BTC’s rise. However, the reality is that ETF buyers transact through OTC markets rather than directly on exchanges. Even billions in OTC buys won’t immediately impact the spot price, as seen yesterday when 800M worth of BTC not only doesnt cause uptrend but today we are 1 percent down . Looking at ETF data, ETF customers which are mostly retail traders often buy at local peaks and sell at lows, just pure emotional group of people
This feels similar to the previous BTC surge to 70K and subsequent drop to 49K. During that run-up, we saw weekend pumps from 57K to 70K, fueled by hype (such as around Trump’s speech), only for BTC to experience a 30% crash soon after. Now, we’re seeing a similar rally just before the election cycle. Even if Trump is elected, any BTC-positive policies would take at least 1–2 years to implement, so the current price action appears to be fueled by speculation rather than fundamentals. The Biden administration’s attempts to prop up the stock market for electoral gains add further artificial support. Fundamentally, nothing has drastically changed in the past 2–3 months, yet BTC is trading at a premium levels.
Another factor to consider is the lack of activity in altcoins, signaling minimal interest from large holders. The only notable exception is Dogecoin, which has rallied on the back of Musk-related news ( which are just bs). With no broad-based altcoin recovery, BTC’s uptrend looks even more fragile.
In my opinion, we may see this uptrend last until next Friday at most, after which a significant downtrend is likely imminent.
I might be wrong but I will try to keep myself neutral and watch this week price action closely

Note
BTC news when it's already clearly over bought, trying to make people as emotional as possible.
It's funny to just compare it with 3 weeks ago when all they were talking about was some dooms day scenario and going back to 50k or sth
Note
What a bull run , it cant even put a 15min green candle , all Alt coins are at 6 months low , absolute 0 interest from retails , BTC never liquidate longs like this in real bull run this is either starting a big downtrend or still just sideway
Note
IMO longing any price above 65k is just doesnt make sense in term of risk/reward ratio , also as long as open interest is above it's all time high at july 29 I wont short it either , for me the best trade right now is not trade at all , still no clear market direction for me , I will wait for more confirmation of downtrend
Note
Open interest really struggling holding previous high , this is surely a very weak uptrend , if it close weekly like this we will go much lower next week specially if harris get elected
Note
Still strong downtrend , but we are reaching couple of important support here but the problem is this week we will have election result + funding rate decission so if things go south non of this would hold the price , but on the optimistic side if these two goes well we might see another rally toward 80k . but whatever the result is , buying or selling at this prices is just gambling if we go down to 64-65k I might consider buying some
