02/06/25 Weekly OutlookLast weeks high: $110,718.68 Last weeks low: $103,065.74 Midpoint: $106,892.21 As we approach the middle of the year, Bitcoin is back above $100,000 despite pulling back from a new ATH of $112,000. In the month of MAY BlackRocks ETF had record inflows of over $6B propelling prices 11% higher. Last week we saw as the month closed and with that it's natural to have a window dressing period that usually leads to de-risking slightly. BTC stayed within the previous weeks range and maintains the pattern of: Chop/consolidation --> expansion to the upside --> chop/consolidation... However in this case the consolidation week had a much larger range than in the past which is a sign to me that the rally is exhausted for now. It's because of this I feel we may see a weekly low break for the first time in a month and get a more meaningful pullback than we've seen since early April. My target would be around the $97,000 area. The case for the bulls is still a convincing one despite some red flags. Record ETF inflows continue to pour, M2 money supply continues to grow and a general shift to risk-on assets is clear. However these are longer term factors and just for this weeks outlook the momentum is with the bears briefly.

Bitcoin Daily Technical Overview (BTC/USD)Currently, Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is trading around $104,800. Up slightly but still digesting a sharp reversal that rattled short-term bulls. Recent Price Action: Rejection From $112K Back on 22nd May, Bitcoin surged to a new high near $112,000, fueled by bullish momentum, institutional flows, and strong on-chain accumulation. However, that breakout was swiftly rejected, and BTC fell as low as $103,400. This kind of "bull trap" reversal highlights a few key dynamics: 1) Overextended sentiment: The rally above $110K was not supported by volume or follow-through, suggesting exhaustion. 2) Profit-taking by large holders or institutions likely triggered a cascade of stop-losses, accelerating the decline. 3) Liquidation clusters in leveraged long positions likely exacerbated the drop. Bitcoin is now attempting to reclaim stability around the $104K–$105K range. 🔍 Technical Snapshot - Support Zones at $103,000 and $93,200 - Resistance Levels at $112,000 (ATH) Price is still above the 50 & 200-day SMAs, which could be a bullish longer-term signal. In addition, the price remains above the upper band of the cloud, but momentum is stalling. A decisive bounce off the cloud could reignite bullish sentiment. Or falling into the cloud could trigger more uncertainty and downside. Macro tailwinds: Concerns over U.S. fiscal stability and potential Fed rate cuts could keep Bitcoin attractive as a non-sovereign asset. 📈 Projection Scenarios Bullish Case: If BTC consolidates above $107K, we could see another attempt and retest of $112K. Bearish Case: Failure to hold above $103K could see Bitcoin revisit $100K, and if that breaks, downside opens toward the $93K level. 🧭 Insight & Takeaway The current reversal serves as a healthy reminder that no trend goes up in a straight line. Especially not in crypto. It likely shook out overleveraged longs, reset sentiment, and may give the market room to breathe before the next leg up. The long-term trend remains intact, but expect more volatility before any clean break to new highs. Always DYOR and DYODD and manage your risk.

Daily BTC OverviewThe daily chart in its simplest form can be broken down into this range. Since President Trumps inauguration, BTC has declined from a range high of $108,000 back to the lows of $74,500 closing the FVG caused by the US election rally. After a double bottom Bitcoin mean reverted back to the range midpoint which to me is the most important area on the entire chart because it decides if the bull run can continue or if it dies. I like to keep a close eye on the 200 EMA on multiple timeframes but the 1D is important to gauge the momentum of the move. As the US election results came in a massive push away from this moving average causes the level to steepen in its climb showing strength. Since BTC spent quite some time in the top half of the range the 1D 200 EMA flattens out signaling a loss of momentum, once this level does become flat it no longer provides support. For a bullish cycle to be just that ideally the corrective moves do not spend too much time below this level before expanding above and beyond it once again starting the next leg of the move. A persistent move down below causes a rollover and the cycle looks to be over with a bear market beginning. Bullish scenario - The correction is over and BTC consistently posts HH's & HLs bringing the 1D 200 EMA up with price and continues the previous bullish trend. I would want to see the retest of the midpoint be successful and then move to reclaim the next local high before targeting range high. The bull market correction looks to be over and bullish continuation resumes. Bearish scenario - This move is nothing more than a LH, BTC wicks the supply above midpoint, swing fails back under and continues to make LH's & LL's back down to range low where the 1D 200EMA will have now rolled over providing more of a resistance level. The bear market looks to have begun. I am not here to make a call on where BTC is going next as I do not have that answer, but I do have to plan for each eventuality and that is what I have done here from a TA pint of view. Now it is entirely possible that Geo-political news or an exchange hack etc throws TA out of the window and I have to rethink the plan but in a strictly chart structure perspective this is how I see it. The indicator "TRADING ENVIRONMENT+V1.0" used in the Idea post is now publicly available for use, give it a try and leave your thoughts and suggestions on the post, thank you.

19/05/25 Weekly OutlookLast weeks high: $105,46 Last weeks low: $100,751.75 Midpoint: $103,372.10 In my weekly outlook post from last week I mentioned how there was a clear pattern of consolidation with a tight range for a week with a week of expansion that followed, and that if the pattern were to continue we would see BTC consolidate around the weekly high. The theory was proven correct on this occasion with a tight range between weekly high and the 0.75 line, as theorized with only momentary dips below the 0.75 line. Now if the pattern were to continue this week would be expansion week, but for me this time it's slightly different as BTC approaches ATH there is a massive level of resistance just above this weeks weekly high. We've seen an initial early attempt to breakout above weekly high and that attempt has so far failed quite aggressively, which leads me to believe there will be volatility this week as both bulls and bears contest this very important area of the chart. For the bulls maintaining momentum and breaking into price discovery with acceptance above $109,000 would be incredibly, the headlines will read new ATH, FOMO kicks in and retail follows etc, we know the drill. For the bears the objective is to hold the line and reject weekly high ($106,000) at all costs and print a strong SFP and unfortunately this does seem viable with $97,000 being the target area IMO. RSI on the daily is around the overbought level, combined with key resistance level a pullback would make sense. For me this week I want to see how ETH and other major alts react to any pullback, do they get bought up with purpose? Is the structure strong to maintain this move or is this a HTF lower high? An interesting week coming up I'm sure. Good luck this week!

LINK Daily breakout?One of the most important crypto projects is undoubtedly Chainlink. Having been in a downtrend like must altcoins ever since President Trumps inauguration , LINK looks to finally be ready to exit the bearish trend channel for the first time this calendar year using the newly flipped 1D 200 EMA as a launchpad or is this a local top and the trend continues? For the bulls a double bottom at $10.15 followed by a higher lows and now a higher high is a strong argument for a flip to bullish structure, however a breakout is needed to confirm this bullish flip in structure and with BTC + most majors at local resistance levels and looking in need of a cool off, this may be too much to ask of LINK at this time. The bears would say this is business as usual and a rejection off the upper limit maintains the bearish trend, a loss of the 1D 200 EMA would definitely increase the likeliness this outcome.

05/05/25 Weekly OutlookLast weeks high: $97,941.18 Last weeks low: $92,845.16 Midpoint: $95,393.17 FOMC week returns once again on Wednesday, the forecast suggests no change to the interest rate is expected with 4.5% staying as is. The tariff acceleration we saw last month brought into question the timing of rate cuts and if they would be brought forward, it looks like this FOMC is too early to see a cut but it is coming in the future if president Trump gets his way. The chart is an interesting one but one that isn't too surprising. The orderblock that sent Bitcoins price to $74,500 was at ~$97,000, naturally that area would be major resistance and so a huge amount of Stop Losses were placed there, price swept that supply zone wiping out SL and SFP back under the resistance zone, a textbook move. An accumulation under the resistance area would be a sign that the bulls are building to flip the zone, however a gradual sell-off from here would then look like a HTF lower high, a very bearish pattern. Going into the FED interest rate decision there is usually a lot of de-risking/ sidelining from traders until the decision is made, therefor the second half of the week would give us more directional information.

28/04/25 Weekly OutlookLast weeks high: $95,778.66 Last weeks low: $84,688.21 Midpoint: $90,233.44 Last week Bitcoin ETFs recorded their second highest net inflows ever, $3.06B between April 21st-25th. The result of this buyside volume is evident on the chart as BTC breaks up into the mid $90k's, and in doing so is now back at the level in which BTC fell from originally to hit $74,500. As a result it is fair to say this area will be a big resistance level, but where is new support after this rally? The aggressive nature of last weeks move up has left a number of areas of imbalance that the market does tend to revisit. Just below midpoint we have the $89,000-$90,000 area just below a key S/R level at $91,000. Dipping below this area into the FWB:88K 's briefly to sweep the demand and reclaiming $91,000 would be ideal for the bulls and very healthy for the next rally. A less appealing area of imbalance for the bulls would be towards weekly low of $85,300-$86,300, that would be very painful for anyone longing a retest of the $91,000 area and from a HTF perspective would be a lower high and a SFP of the range midpoint, both bearish signals. The 4H 200 EMA is currently around that area at $87,000 too which would mean losing the level after just climbing back above it. This week I'm looking at that first imbalance area to be a level of support for the next leg up, that's the ideal bullish scenario in my mind. A move below midpoint with acceptance is a red flag on this move and would start to look like a lower high bearish continuation. Good luck this week!

DOT RectangleBITGET:DOTUSDT has been trading in a rectangle since October 2023, with important key levels dating all the way back to May 2022. It also recently broke support, swept liquidity to $3.3 and reclaimed the demand zone, setting itself up for a potential rebound. Key Levels to Watch • $3.5-$4.0: Main demand zone • ~$7.5: Rectangle midline + key S/R dating back to May 2022, could act as a strong resistance • $10-$12: Main supply zone Potential targets Measured rectangle targets • Breakout: $20 • Breakdown: $1.0 Other Considerations Another laggard, similar to Filecoin ( ). While it's still unclear whether these coins are rebounding or heading for a breakdown, they could offer some of the highest R/R potentials for longs, and they have very clear invalidations. Triggers • My long trigger for Polkadot would be a break above the 50-day EMA and the demand zone (~$4.0). • Invalidation (and short trigger) would be a sustained break below $3.5 or a lower low below $3.3.

Is gold currently in a bullish or bearish trend?We’ve seen gold surge significantly during times of uncertainty. The problem is, when we look back at the 2008 financial crisis, we notice a similarly exponential rise, which was followed by a 45% correction after reaching its peak. Based on a current price of $3,400, a correction down to $1,800 is possible. This means it’s very realistic that gold could spike again sharply—especially if Powell ends up being fired—and then, once things start to calm down again, we could see a major correction of at least 45%.

BTC 4H VS 1D 200 EMAIt's quite a rare occurrence when the 200 EMA finds itself in a very similar position but right now BTC has that exact setup. On the 4H BTC is fighting the moving average for the 12th time since losing the support level at the beginning in February. At this time the bearish trend channel upper limit also coincides with this level now, IMO a big move is being setup, but the direction is unsure. On the daily we're seeing the moving average also in line with the trend resistance however the curve itself differs to the 4H in the way that it's levelling out from an uptrend, not levelling out from downtrend. Bullish scenario - Breaking out above the moving average and trend channel with strength I believe would start to bring buyers back. Now I would not expect buyers to come flooding in at once as many have been burned too many times trying to long a breakout only for it to be a fakeout. I could see many looking for a form of confirmation, be that a retest as new support or a new HH & HL structure. Bearish scenario - Yet another rejection off this level would be continuation of the downtrend with many adding to their shorts. This to me would be tied to the SPX/ Tradfi movements although those markets are much stronger than this time last week. In conclusion there is no clear sense of direction just yet but I think it's coming very soon. The chop we are seeing at the moment is a symptom of a lack of confidence and uncertainty in market conditions. Naturally this lends itself to a continuation of the downtrend but all it takes is a catalyst and some big believers to push BTC out above the downtrend to continue the bullrun. I think we get our answer soon.

Secure ptofits of LONG📊 BTC Daily Chart – In-Depth Analysis (as of Apr 15, 2025) 🔍 Overview You're holding a long position from below $80K, still active but now at a +5-6% gain, while TP is placed around 88.3K, close to a key resistance and trendline confluence. Let's break this all down and answer your core question: Is it wise to secure profits now even if TP hasn't been reached? ⚒️ BitcoinMF PRO & Fisher Confirmation The BitcoinMF PRO indicator has been delivering precise entries/exits—highlighted with green "Long" and red "Short" tags. Your current active long was marked by BitcoinMF PRO near the lower end of the descending channel with Fisher Transform at a local bottom, signaling an extremely oversold bounce zone. The Fisher is curling up from a "super low" region, meaning it is entering mid-zone. This reduces risk-reward from here for new longs—good reason to lock partial profits. 📉 Technical Chart Structure Breakdown 🔺 Linear Regression Channels: BTC is now trading near the top of the smaller descending red channel, nearing rejection territory. Also, it’s approaching the bottom half of the broader dark blue ascending channel = resistance cluster zone. 🔁 Elliott Wave Structure (Possibly Ending Wave 4) This looks like a potential 3 → 4 → 5 wave structure unfolding. Wave 3 likely bottomed near $71K- FWB:73K , and this long is likely part of Wave 4 retracement. If correct, Wave 5 may resume down again unless invalidated above $88.3K. 🔸 Fibonacci Watch: 0.5 Fib retracement from recent swing high to low is around $84.2K-$85.5K—you’re sitting on it right now. 0.618 Fib confluence is ~$88.5K, right where TP is set. That zone is statistically known for rejections. This is another reason to secure a chunk of profit now. 📉 Volume & Sentiment Volume is weak on this rally, indicating a lack of conviction. Fear & Greed Index (live: ⚠️ around 72 – greed zone) is starting to lean hot. Market sentiment is optimistic, and price is hovering just below known short zones. 🏦 Whale Activity, Exchange Inflows & CME Gap Whale wallets have shown mild accumulation at lower levels (~ FWB:73K -$75K), but no aggressive buying up here. Exchange inflows are increasing slightly – suggesting some may be getting ready to sell into this strength. ✅ CME Gap around $66K is still unfilled. Historically 90% of gaps fill. Keep that in your long-term radar. 🔄 Long vs Shorts Ratio (Bybit + Binance) On both Bybit and Binance, Longs > Shorts by ~58/42 – minor imbalance. Suggests majority is positioned long, slightly raising correction risk. ✅ Final Strategic Take ❗ Why You Should Secure Profits Now: Price is at a resistance confluence zone (Fib + LR + sentiment). The move has already run +5-6%, and even if price doesn’t touch TP at 88.3K, greed could erase that unrealized profit quickly. If this is just Wave 4, the next move could be a final push down to $70K or lower (Wave 5). Volume divergence + rising inflows = risk is increasing. Locking at least 50-70% now is smart trader psychology. You can always re-enter. 🔮 Most Probable Next Move: 6.8 / 10 – Mild Up, Then Pullback BTC has 69% probability of testing $86.5K–$88.5K, but rejection is very likely there. After that, we could see a pullback to $80K–$82K. Extreme bullish continuation (above $90K) currently has <20% probability unless macro/Fed/etc. change. 📌 Action Recommendation: 📈 Secure partial profits immediately. 🧠 Move stop-loss to breakeven or slightly in profit to protect the rest. 🛑 Avoid FOMO-ing into new longs now – let the chart confirm breakout first. 🧠 Ancient Wisdom: In Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers), Rabbi Tarfon said: “The day is short, the work is great… and the reward is much, but the Master is insistent.” In trading terms: The market doesn’t owe you your TP. Secure reward when the work is done. Don’t overstay your welcome. for more follow links in profile

14/04/25 Weekly OutlookLast weeks high: $86,116.94 Last weeks low: $74,520.92 Midpoint: $80.318.93 Did we truly think it would be easy? As Trump targets China the markets panicked in a huge de-risking event that sent BTC down to $74,500, fully retracing the Us election pump 6 months ago. After a double bottom and a tariff pause for 90 days on those countries that played ball, BTC reclaimed the previous weeks bottom and steadily climbed back toward major resistance at $86,000. Clearly the focus has primarily been on traditional markets like the SPX & DJI, on the SPX the 1D 200 EMA tagged and as usual gave huge support, this is very often a local bottom and so far that is the case. BTC has very quietly flipped the 4H 200 EMA after the 10th time of trying, staying above the $84,000 level would be a confirmed reclaim if the trend can follow and flip bullish. If that is the case then it would seem the flush we've all been dreading is over, however, if Trump escalates the trade war once again then TA takes a back seat to FA once again. This week I would like to see strong support at 0.75 line, a wick down to that level and a reclaim of the 4H 200 EMA would give me confidence that BTC can target the $91K mini range top. A loss of the 0.75 line and acceptance below I would then target weekly lows once again for a triple bottom.
