IBITUSDT Analysis: Red Box Breakout PotentialIn IBITUSDT, the red box signifies a critical resistance zone. If price breaks and retests this level, it may present a long entry opportunity . That said, my overall expectation is for the correction to deepen further before significant upward movement.
Key Points:
Red Box Resistance: Monitor for a breakout and retest to confirm a potential long setup.
Deeper Correction Likely: Current market conditions suggest the correction could continue before recovery.
Confirmation Indicators: I will utilize CDV, liquidity heatmaps, volume profiles, volume footprints, and upward market structure breaks in lower time frames to validate entries.

SL DYNAMIC: 86K
LONG SUPPORT: 72K - 77K
The signals indicate a strong bearish trend in BTC on the 1D time frame. At the moment, we are in an area of uncertainty where anything can happen: The RSI still has room to fall, BTC has been overbought for a long time...
However, we must not overlook the support zones where BTC can bounce in the way it has accustomed us to.
The important thing to be successful in trading is to be faithful to our strategy. To be clear about where we are, where we want to go and when it is best to be out in liquidity.
__________________________________________________
Automated Cryptocurrency Trading Bots: All these strategic alternatives can be configured with TradeX BoT, since it will allow you to position in both directions without having to block any amount per position. It will only be necessary for the conditions to be met, either downward or upward, for the orders to be executed in one direction or another, taking the necessary deposits from your portfolio.

FOLLOW ME and I will keep you informed of the progress we make.
I share with you my technical analysis assessments on certain values that I follow as part of the strategies I design for my portfolio, but I do not recommend anyone to operate based on these indicators. Inform yourself, educate yourself and build your own strategies when investing. I only hope that my comments help you on your own path :)
Patience Friends...Howdy again,
As much as the 2.5% is coming we must have patience. It looks like it wants to tough the resistance trend lines once again before actually losing this support here. It also is a double bottom on the weekly which is pretty hard to break, but once it does, not only btc, but the whole market will explode.
Trade thirsty!
P.S: I'll put this as SHORT even though you should LONG usdt and SHORT the market.
BTC/USD Prediction for 01/01/2025 – Volume Profile Analysis
Based on Volue Profile Analysis, I expect Bitcoin to find strong support in the $92,383–$93,000 region, where significant trading volume has accumulated. A bounce from this zone could push BTC toward the next resistance range at $95,000–$96,000.
Bitcoin 1D Pitchfork & Correlating Tops Where To Next For $BTC Basic little draw up from now just checking market sentiment with the MACD providing great analytical insight into where we are NOW and were we were MID bull run from $75k ATH to $109k. See the bearish MACD over the ATH of 75k and the same over the 109k ATH. We are back to zero on MACD we should see small dips or sideways movement but more volatile as price is higher. It will always seem more volatile as %s of BTC price are larger. So 10% drop or gain now on $93k is $9.3k where when 1 CRYPTOCAP:BTC was 9.3k 10% drop or gain was only $930! Yes same % loss or gain but more capital required to make or loose hat 10%. Still you can always order less but this is just a sentiment driver when you look at the % math of now and back in the day even 4 years ago or pre covid.
Currently we sit at $93,250 USD at time of writing. Up from the down turn to $91k. IF we keep the market moving up growing and more $ flow in to longs and or buying bitcoin the better.
I think also as its in a DIP phase people WONT be selling who brought in at or between 50k-80k. At least I wouldn't be. Even if it goes to any price pre Covid so under 25k~ This will take a while to occur with many chances to exit before or you will see much increase from where we are now.
The market sentiment is good. Its down but its still dominant and will be for another 10 - 100 years plus. It's almost perfect and the coins doing other things BTC can mostly achieve but in directly. However it is no1 and will stay that way for some time.
Love you Holders let us know you thoughts on this projection to upward of $200k within a few 6 months ?
Not finical advice I trade on my own and use my own methods the post here isn't method to trade its just an assumption of what could happen with little degree of success. Thanks for reading!
Bitcoin Analysis: Key Support Levels and Market Trends 25.01.01Hello, this is Greedy All-Day.
Today’s analysis focuses on Bitcoin (BTC).
Daily Chart Analysis
On the daily chart, Bitcoin is showing signs of rejection near the 99485 resistance level. The price has now moved back between the 20 EMA and 60 EMA, indicating a consolidation phase.
The red box supply zone remains a critical level.
If this zone fails to hold as support, the price could retest the lower support range of 70000–68000.
Weekly Chart Analysis
On the weekly chart, 89372 is the last line of defense for Bitcoin.
Key scenarios:
A breakdown below 89372 could lead to a correction down to the 82353 level, aligning with the weekly 20 EMA.
If selling pressure intensifies, the price could drop further to the major support zone at 73835.
Market Structure and Historical Context
Historically, Bitcoin has followed a pattern of one-way rallies to new highs, followed by extended corrections and sharp drops before resuming its upward trajectory.
However, since 2023, the pattern has shifted to a box-like, stair-step upward trend.
This reflects increasing liquidity in the market and the emergence of new cryptocurrencies, which has led to capital distribution across a broader range of assets.
Key Insight:
Significant corrections typically occur only when the weekly chart closes below the 60 EMA and subsequently faces resistance. Until then, the market may continue a long-term consolidation phase.
Conclusion
For margin traders, this zone offers limited buying opportunities.
Bullish Perspective:
There is no clear buy signal at this time.
Bearish Perspective:
The trend remains uncertain, but a failure to hold the 89372 support level could trigger significant selling pressure.
The daily chart is currently consolidating between the 20 EMA and 60 EMA.
While it’s unclear whether the next move will result in a golden cross or a death cross, a clear breakout in either direction is likely to drive substantial momentum.
Although this update doesn’t bring major changes to the previous week’s analysis, I’ll revisit Bitcoin as new developments emerge.
Let’s stay patient and trade wisely. 🚀
BTC to 124k - Quick ThoughtsBitcoin is currently in a consolidation phase and is simply waiting to expand further toward 124k.
Ideally, we’d like to see the price take out the key low first and then head toward 124k.
If the price ignores the key low and goes straight to 124k, we can be pretty sure it will retrace at that level and then look to take out the key level afterward.
Whether the bottom section will be formed is the key
Hello, traders.
If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly.
Please also click "Boost".
Have a nice day today.
Happy New Year.
-------------------------------------
(USDT 1D chart)
USDT appears to have turned into a gap downtrend.
If it does not rise quickly, the coin market is expected to show a sharp decline.
(USDC 1D chart)
Fortunately, USDC is maintaining a gap uptrend, so there seems to be a possibility of price defense to some extent.
However, since USDC has a lower influence on the coin market than USDT, if USDT maintains a gap downtrend, the coin market is expected to eventually show a decline.
What we need to do is check the stop loss point of the coin (token) we currently hold rather than increasing new transactions and think about how much we should cut loss.
(BTCUSDT 1D chart)
The point to watch is whether the movement of BTC is as updated last time.
If the HA-Low indicator is created, it means that the current wave is finished and a new wave is starting, so whether there is support is an important key.
There is a possibility that the HA-Low indicator will fall after being created and show a stepwise downtrend, but the fact that the HA-Low indicator was created means that it is ultimately forming a bottom section, so it is a time to buy.
-
Thank you for reading to the end.
I hope you have a successful transaction.
--------------------------------------------------
- Big picture
I used TradingView's INDEX chart to check the entire section of BTC.
(BTCUSD 12M chart)
Looking at the big picture, it seems to have been following a pattern since 2015.
In other words, it is a pattern that maintains a 3-year bull market and faces a 1-year bear market.
Accordingly, the bull market is expected to continue until 2025.
-
(LOG chart)
Looking at the LOG chart, we can see that the increase is decreasing.
Accordingly, the 46K-48K range is expected to be a very important support and resistance range from a long-term perspective.
Therefore, we do not expect to see prices below 44K-48K in the future.
-
The Fibonacci ratio on the left is the Fibonacci ratio of the uptrend that started in 2015.
That is, the Fibonacci ratio of the first wave of the uptrend.
The Fibonacci ratio on the right is the Fibonacci ratio of the uptrend that started in 2019.
Therefore, this Fibonacci ratio is expected to be used until 2026.
-
No matter what anyone says, the chart has already been created and is already moving.
It is up to you how to view and respond to it.
Since there is no support or resistance point when the ATH is updated, the Fibonacci ratio can be appropriately utilized.
However, although the Fibonacci ratio is useful for chart analysis, it is ambiguous to use it as a support and resistance role.
The reason is that the user must directly select the important selection points required to create the Fibonacci.
Therefore, it can be useful for chart analysis because it is expressed differently depending on how the user specifies the selection point, but it can be seen as ambiguous for use in trading strategies.

Total Crypto Market Capitalization prediction for 2025The basis for the analysis in today's idea about the future of the total capitalization of the crypto market is our idea from 2 years ago, where we assumed that the “bottom” has already been reached and that we will continue to see strong growth. Read it 👇
Since then, the total capitalization of the crypto market has grown 4 times from $800 billion to $3.2 trillion. This is mainly due to the growth of the CRYPTOCAP:BTC price from $16k to the current $95k and its BTC.Dominance index from 39% to the current 58%.
Many altcoins are still depressed, many of them failed to update their ATH, so let's assume that there hasn't been a real altseason yet)
And here's how the capitalization of other financial assets has changed approximately over 2 years:
end of 2022👉end of 2024
SP500 - $33 trillion 👉 $45 trillion
Gold - $11 trillion👉 $18 trillion
Silver - $1 trillion 👉 $1.8 trillion
Cryptocurrencies - $800 billion 👉 $3.2 trillion
Crypto rules, at least in terms of growth!)
In addition, two fundamental events have taken place since then: BTC ETFs and ETH ETFs are gateways for the infusion of large institutional money into the crypto market, but also flags for the regulation of the crypto market.
And then, only modeling in the mix with our fantasies and desires for 2025)
1️⃣ Previous cycles of rapid growth of the crypto market lasted 550 days after the #Bitcoin halving, so we assume that the current one will last at least until the end of October 2025.
2️⃣ The “growth power” of the total capitalization of the crypto market decreased by 6 times with each cycle, which means that in the current cycle it should reach at least $7-8 trillion
3️⃣ But this time, we have a “dark horse” - ETFs, and who knows how many more of them will be approved in the future and how this will affect the crypto market. Moreover, the number of cryptocurrencies is no longer thousands or tens of thousands, but millions. Memecoins are created in 30 seconds and rolled out to a multi-million dollar capitalization in weeks) And it is still commonly believed that the “naive and hungry” retailer with the eternal FOMO syndrome, who buys anything at any price, has not returned to the crypto market.
4️⃣ Therefore, purely hypothetically, simply based on fractal analysis and a combination of fibo levels, we assume that the crypto market can “swing” up to a cosmic $53 trillion
5️⃣ Further, according to the same fractal analysis, the current correction of prices on the crypto market and its total capitalization should not be very long, well, at most another -10% from the current $3.2 trillion to $2.85 +|-
6️⃣ Everything is very fantastic and promising, doesn't it?) Then let's put the icing on the cake and go to celebrate the New Year 2025.
According to our forecast from 2 years ago, the OKX:BTCUSDT price has every chance of reaching $355,000 by the end of 2025 👇
Bitcoin is Ready to Fall by Flag Pattern!!!Bitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ) managed to break the 50_SMA(Daily) in the past days, and this could be a sign for a further fall of Bitcoin .
Bitcoin is currently moving in a Heavy Support zone($95,000-$90,870) and is breaking the Support lines .
In terms of Classic Technical Analysis , the Bearish Flag Pattern can cause Bitcoin to fall further.
I expect Bitcoin to drop towards $91,000 minimum after breaking the Support line and a possible pullback, and if the Heavy Support zone($95,000-$90,870) is broken, we should expect more dumps .
⚠️Note: If Bitcoin breaks the Resistance lines, we can hope for a further increase in Bitcoin.⚠️

2024 REVIEW MARKET STOCKS !! AND 2025 PROYECTIONS Why Stock Prices Tend to Rise Over Time
It's easy to get caught up in the ups and downs of the stock market, but zoom out, and you'll see a clear trend: stock prices generally increase over the long term. Here's why:
Economic Growth: As economies grow, so do corporate earnings. Companies expand, innovate, and become more profitable, which naturally pushes stock prices up.
Inflation: Over time, inflation erodes the value of money, but stocks can act as a hedge. As the price level increases, so do the nominal values of stocks.
Dividend Reinvestment: Many companies pay dividends, and when these dividends are reinvested into more shares, it compounds growth. This reinvestment can significantly boost the value of an investment over decades.
Market Sentiment: Optimism about the future can drive stock prices higher. When investors believe companies will do well, they're willing to pay more for stocks today.
Low Interest Rates: In recent decades, low interest rates have made borrowing cheaper for companies, fueling growth, and also made stocks more attractive than low-yield bonds or savings accounts.
Technological Advancements: Innovation leads to new industries and improves efficiency in existing ones, driving up stock values through increased productivity and new market opportunities.
BITCOIN's Distribution, Greed and Dutch TulipsThe **Tulip Mania** of the 1630s was the original bubble—and it was as absurd as it was dramatic. Picture this: a single tulip bulb sold for the price of a luxurious Amsterdam townhouse. Traders flipped tulips like hotcakes, fortunes were made overnight, and the humble flower became a symbol of outrageous wealth and speculation.
Then, in February 1637, the fever broke. Buyers disappeared faster than a Dutch winter thaw, and the market collapsed like a poorly built dike. Those who had mortgaged their futures for tulips were left with nothing but petals and regret. It was a dazzling rise and a catastrophic fall—a timeless lesson in the dangers of speculative greed!
🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉🌷📉
Why do I write about the Tulip Crash?
These days, not many young Trader and Investors know about it. And why not learn from the past?
Happy profits all.
ENA (ENA/USDT) – Technical Analysis UpdateCurrent Consolidation & Support Levels:
ENA has consolidated near June's high, showing strong support around $0.9538, reinforced by December 20th's daily candle tail and the 40 EMA.
Token unlocks increasing supply are likely to delay a rally until after January 1st, keeping near-term upside muted.
Key Downside Targets:
If the $0.9538 support fails, watch for:
$0.8824 – December 28th's swing low.
$0.8465 – Key levels from December 20th and 10th.
$0.7600 – November 25th's bullish weekly gap, a likely higher timeframe support zone.
Resistance Levels & Upside Scenarios:
$0.9961: December 26th's bearish gap.
$1.0299: December 21st's rejection point. A break above this zone could trigger profit-taking at:
$1.1223: December 23rd's swing high and December 21st's bearish gap.
Outlook:
ENA is range-bound in the near term, with a bearish bias if token unlocks intensify supply pressure.
Bulls need a decisive reclaim of $0.9961–$1.0299 to regain control. Until then, $0.9538 support remains critical, with the risk of testing lower levels.
This setup highlights near-term caution but leaves room for a bullish breakout once overhead supply dynamics stabilize.

It was my mistake to give a big short analysis of Bitcoin before the distribution structure was formed.
Currently, by combining the analytical styles of Dow Theory & Wyckoff Theory with the combination of the classical price action technical analysis, RTM & ICT, we are witnessing confirmation of the market decline, while the majority have a bullish view of the market, having fallen into the trap of the market maker.
Look for a heavy Bitcoin sell position from the marked premium area, don't forget to get confirmation based on your style and manage risk and capital.

BTC ShortThe chart reveals a classic distribution pattern in the Bitcoin market, marked by a significant peak followed by a consolidation phase. Distribution occurs after a strong uptrend, and as the price stalls and starts to move lower, it signals a potential reversal.
Our target is set at the 50% retracement level of the upmove, located around $78,682. This level represents a key support area and is a typical target for a corrective pullback after a distribution phase.
Price has shown weakness at the recent highs, and as we move forward, we anticipate further downside toward this target zone which would offer a nice buying opportunity in discount for further upside.
Bitcoin VS AppleApple's product releases came out today.
But it has nothing to do with this publication, just a coincidence.
As you know, I've been analyzing fractals of other assets for a long time. I find the comparison between Apple and Bitcoin very interesting and similar.
I'm inspired by this analysis as much as the previous ones
And the end of this bitcoin market will be around September 2025.
I don't listen to the noise that's coming from everywhere.
I'm following my own plan.
Best regards EXCAVO
HelenP. I Bitcoin can break support level and fall to 88KHi folks today I'm prepared for you Bitcoin analytics. If we look at the chart we can see how the price rebounded from the trend line and rose to the support level, which coincided with the support zone. Then price some time traded below the support level and later finally broke it. After this, BTC rose a little and then made a correction to the support zone, after which it turned around and started to grow to a resistance level. When the price reached the resistance level, which coincided with the resistance zone, it made a correction movement to the support zone, after which at once turned around and started to grow back. Later BTC reached the resistance level and broke it, after which grew to 108400 points and then dropped to the support level, breaking the resistance level. Then BTC some time traded near support level and then rebounded and tried to grow. But recently it fell back to this level, which coincided with the trend line, and continues to trades close. For this reason, I expect that BTCUSDt will make a small movement up. After this, the price turns around and starts to fall, breaking the trend line with the support level, after which make retest, or not and continue to fall. Therefore I set my goal at 88000 points.

The moonlight glinted off the tall glass skyscrapers lining Satoshi Boulevard. Inside one of those sleek towers, a lone figure stood at the helm of a glowing command console. Charts flashed red and green across massive holographic screens, and the tension in the air was palpable.
They called him the DCAChampion. By day, he was just another crypto enthusiast working a regular job. By night, he donned his digital armor—an advanced suit of blockchain code and unwavering conviction. His mission? Steady, methodical accumulation of Bitcoin, come rain or shine, bull or bear.
