EUR/USD – Daily Time Frame AnalysisEUR/USD – Daily Time Frame Analysis The Euro is gaining strength against the US Dollar, driven by recent positive economic data from the Eurozone and increasing speculation that the European Central Bank may delay further rate cuts. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is under slight pressure due to softer U.S. inflation expectations and a more cautious tone from the Federal Reserve, contributing to short-term bullish momentum in EUR/USD. On the technical side, EUR/USD on the daily time frame has broken a major resistance level at 1.2200. We observed a previously formed double top and a descending trendline with three touches, confirming the significance of this key level. Following the breakout, accumulation has begun and buyers have stepped in with long positions. Price briefly retraced, triggering stop-losses below the liquidity zone — a typical liquidity grab. Currently, we are waiting for price to break above a minor key resistance. Our area of interest is at 1.13300. Risk is managed below the liquidity zone at 1.10070, and our target profit is set at the next minor key resistance around 1.23530. 📌 Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. As always, wait for proper confirmation before executing trades. Manage your risk wisely and trade what you see, not what you feel.

AAVEUSDT | Red Box as a Key Resistance ZoneAAVEUSDT is approaching the highlighted red box, which looks set to act as a serious barrier for further upside. In my view, this zone represents an area where sellers have historically stepped in to halt rallies, so any approach here demands caution. Why This Matters • The red box aligns with past supply clusters on the footprint volume chart, showing where large sell orders absorbed buying pressure. • Price has stalled at similar levels before, suggesting this area remains difficult to clear. Trading Plan Watch for Rejection Look for price to rally into the red box and then show weakness on lower‑time‑frame charts—such as failed breakouts or lower highs—confirmed by increased sell‑side volume. Confirm with CDV A negative divergence or rising sell delta at this zone strengthens the case for a short or profit‑taking position. Adapt Quickly If, contrary to expectations, price breaks through with strong footprint volume and holds above on a retest, I’ll reconsider and shift my bias to the long side. By treating the red box as a critical resistance and insisting on real volume and CDV confirmations, you maintain discipline and avoid chasing false breakouts. Trade only when the market validates your thesis. 📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions. 📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record. I don’t claim to know it all but I’m confident in my ability to spot high-probability setups. 📌If you would like to learn how to use the heatmap, cumulative volume delta and volume footprint techniques that I use below to determine very accurate demand regions, you can send me a private message.

ADAUSDT | Two-Tier Long StrategyAfter a period of quiet accumulation, ADAUSDT maybe a good choice after the manipulation of orange box. This presents a near-term opportunity for those seeking quick entries: Short-Term Longs Wait for a liquidity cleaning of the orange box first. Below that level you can look for 4h upward breakout and enter with retest. This signals that buyers are stepping in decisively and can fuel a retracement or trend resumption. For investors with a multi-year horizon, the deep blue box at the chart’s base represents a true margin-of-safety zone: Long-Term Accumulation Placing staggered buy orders within the blue box, and scaling in as price holds, aligns with a value-based approach. If ADAUSDT respects this area over time, disciplined accumulation here could yield life-changing returns years down the road. In both cases, rely solely on real volume footprint confirmations, never on guesswork.

(NQ) | Strong Buyers and Blue‑Box Entry Zones(NQ) | Strong Buyers and Blue‑Box Entry Zones NQ shows powerful buying pressure, and the marked blue boxes highlight areas where demand has reliably appeared. For those seeking long exposure, two approaches stand out: Low‑Time‑Frame Breakouts from the Blue Box Wait for price to dip into a blue‑boxed support zone and then break higher on shorter time frames. A decisive move with rising footprint volume confirms genuine buyer commitment. Direct Low‑Time‑Frame Breakouts If price skips a pullback and powers upward on low‑time‑frame charts, that momentum surge—backed by substantial volume—also provides a valid long entry. Key Considerations Ensure any breakout is backed by real volume footprint signals, not just price movement. If these zones fail to hold or volume dries up, stand aside and await the next confirmed setup. By focusing on these blue‑boxed areas and insisting on volume‑confirmed breakouts, you align your entries with where buyers truly dominate. 📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions. 📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record.

S&P 500 | Blue Box as Margin of SafetyWhen the index returns to the blue box, it reaches a zone forged by genuine buying interest and technical alignment. In a disciplined, data‑driven approach, this area serves as our first line of defense. Why It Matters • Past reactions show price pauses and reversals here, revealing real demand. • It coincides with key footprint volume clusters where buyers have stepped in. Entry Criteria Higher‑Time‑Frame Stability Confirm price holds within or above the blue box before considering a position. Lower‑Time‑Frame Confirmation Wait for clear breakouts or higher‑lows on short‑term charts backed by rising footprint volume. Strict Risk Control If price breaks through without retest or volume support, stand aside and seek a clearer setup. By treating the blue box as our margin of safety and relying on actual volume footprint data, we trade with prudence and let the market’s real signals guide our decisions. 📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions. 📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record.

EUR/GBP - Blue Box is Strong SupportIn our recent EUR / GBP analysis we observed a substantial 226‑pip decline from the peak.() Price has now settled into the blue‑boxed support area, a level at which previous pullbacks found buyers and genuine value emerged. It follows, then, that if price can break above the nearby red‑boxed resistance on lower‑time‑frame charts, with clear follow‑through rather than a fleeting spike, a long position would be entirely reasonable. Such a breakout would signal that demand has overcome supply pressure, restoring the upward trend in a disciplined, verifiable way. Throughout our work, we have never relied on guesswork or emotion. Every level is chosen through careful study of price behavior and hard data, and our methodology has consistently delivered high accuracy as a result. In the spirit of prudent analysis, we ask only for confirmation of these key levels before committing capital, an approach that has served us well and should serve our followers equally. 📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions. 📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record.

$108K BTC ATH in Sight Despite ETF & Moody's HeadwindsBitcoin's Turbulent Ascent: Charting a Course Through Volatility, Institutional Embrace, and the $108,000 Horizon Amid Shifting Economic Sands The world of cryptocurrency is once again fixated on its undisputed leader, Bitcoin (BTC). The digital behemoth is currently navigating a period of intense market activity, marked by dramatic price swings, a nuanced evolution in institutional engagement, and a striking resilience in the face of macroeconomic tremors. As Bitcoin flirts with the $102,900 threshold and repeatedly tests the crucial $104,000 psychological barrier, the air is thick with anticipation. Market analysts and enthusiasts alike are closely watching for a potential surge that could propel Bitcoin beyond its previous all-time high (ATH) to an ambitious $108,000 within the current month. This intricate dance unfolds against a complex global backdrop: a recent downgrade of US debt by Moody's, significant and strategic Bitcoin accumulation by institutional players like Japan's Metaplanet, and observable shifts in the open interest of Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The narrative for Bitcoin in May 2025 is one of inherent strength and heightened expectation. While a recent, sharp pullback from the $107,000 mark was widely attributed to investors capitalizing on recent gains—a classic profit-taking maneuver—rather than a panicked reaction to Moody's revised outlook on US debt, the digital asset staged a swift and impressive recovery, climbing back towards the $105,000 level. This rapid rebound underscores a complex interplay of market forces, investor sentiment, and perhaps a growing perception of Bitcoin as an asset with unique characteristics. This resilience, buttressed by robust underlying network fundamentals and an increasingly confident institutional presence, paints a compelling and multifaceted picture of Bitcoin's current trajectory and its potential future. Navigating Price Swings: Profit-Taking, Market Maturity, and a Dismissal of Moody's Downgrade Bitcoin's recent price journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, a testament to its well-documented volatility. However, these fluctuations also hint at a market that is gradually maturing in its response to external economic shocks. The digital currency experienced a notable dip, with some initial commentary linking it to a broader "risk-off" sentiment ostensibly triggered by Moody's downgrade of US sovereign debt. Indeed, Moody's Investors Service adjusted the U.S. government's long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings from the pristine AAA to Aa1. The agency cited mounting concerns over the nation's escalating debt burden and the sustainability of its interest payments, a move that traditionally sends ripples of caution through global financial markets, often prompting investors to reduce exposure to assets perceived as higher risk. However, the narrative surrounding Bitcoin's reaction quickly evolved. The sharp sell-off from its recent high near $107,000 was predominantly identified by market observers as a consequence of profit-taking. Investors who had benefited from the preceding upward trend chose to realize their gains, a standard market dynamic in any asset class. This distinction is critically important. It suggests that the selling pressure was primarily an internal market mechanism within the cryptocurrency space itself, rather than a direct, sustained erosion of confidence directly attributable to the US debt downgrade. In a remarkable display of this independent strength, Bitcoin demonstrated a robust recovery, rallying back towards the $105,000 mark. This price action was widely interpreted as Bitcoin effectively "ignoring" or "shrugging off" the downgrade's potential long-term implications for its own valuation. Some market analysts posit that this behavior lends further credence to Bitcoin's burgeoning role as a potential hedge against instability in traditional financial systems and a perceived decline in the long-term purchasing power of fiat currencies. While Bitcoin's price did exhibit a corrective phase around the time of the downgrade announcement, its capacity to swiftly regain lost ground suggests that the market may have either already factored in such macroeconomic developments or, more significantly, views Bitcoin's fundamental, long-term value proposition as increasingly detached from traditional economic indicators. The market's reaction, characterized by an initial dip followed by a spirited recovery, highlights Bitcoin's complex and evolving relationship with macroeconomic news. It behaves at times like a risk asset, sensitive to global liquidity and investor sentiment, and at other times, it exhibits characteristics of a safe-haven asset, sought after during periods of uncertainty. The Alluring Prospect of a New Zenith: Is $108,000 Bitcoin's Next Landmark? Amidst this characteristic volatility, a palpable undercurrent of optimism pervades the Bitcoin market. Strong suggestions and analytical forecasts point towards the possibility that Bitcoin could not only retest but decisively surpass its previous all-time high, potentially charting a course towards $108,000, and perhaps even higher, within the current month. Technical analyses, which scrutinize historical price patterns and market statistics to predict future movements, lend support to this bullish outlook. Some chartists and forecasters have identified take-profit targets for bullish positions clustering around the $109,158.98 region. Currently, Bitcoin's price appears to be in a consolidation phase, hovering around the $102,957 mark after a retreat from a local peak of $107,115. Market participants are intensely focused on key resistance levels. The zone between $105,000 and $108,700 is viewed as a particularly critical hurdle. A decisive daily trading session closing above the $108,700 level could act as a powerful catalyst, potentially triggering a fresh wave of buying interest and propelling Bitcoin towards the $110,000 milestone. Should this momentum be sustained, a further ascent to $115,000 by the end of May is considered a plausible scenario by optimistic analysts. This bullish sentiment is further amplified by what some market commentators describe as Bitcoin's "volatile liquidity run." This phenomenon, characterized by rapid shifts in market liquidity and price, is believed by some analysts to be capable of paving the way for new record highs. The market has recently observed unusual trading patterns, such as CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) Bitcoin futures contracts leading volatile price action, even during weekend trading sessions when traditional markets are closed. This indicates a dynamic and continually evolving market structure, increasingly influenced by institutional-grade trading venues. Historically, Bitcoin's price has demonstrated a notable correlation with global liquidity conditions, particularly metrics like the M2 money supply. Expansions in M2, representing a broader measure of money in circulation, have often coincided with upward trends in Bitcoin's price. While current expansions in M2 could theoretically provide a tailwind for Bitcoin, the future trajectory of global liquidity is somewhat clouded by persistent inflation concerns and mixed signals from various economic sectors. Nevertheless, the potent combination of strong technical chart patterns, the potential for favorable liquidity conditions, and a resilient underlying market sentiment keeps the prospect of a new all-time high firmly within the realm of possibility. Analysts are keenly eyeing the $108,000 mark as a significant psychological and technical target. A convincing breakout above this level could potentially unleash further euphoric momentum, drawing in more retail and institutional capital. The Institutional Equation: ETF Open Interest Moderates, While Metaplanet Intensifies Accumulation The role and behavior of institutional investors continue to be a pivotal factor shaping Bitcoin's market dynamics and its journey towards mainstream acceptance. Recently, a noteworthy development was observed in the Bitcoin ETF space: open interest saw a 5% dip, settling at approximately $29.47 billion. This occurred even as Bitcoin itself maintained its price position near the $102,900 level. This decline in open interest, which represents the total number of outstanding derivative contracts that have not been settled, coupled with a discernible slowdown in weekly inflows into Bitcoin ETFs (which were reported as the lowest in a month, at $603.74 million for the period of May 12-16), suggests a degree of caution or perhaps a phase of consolidation among ETF investors. This follows a period of particularly heightened activity and significant inflows earlier in the year, often associated with the launch and growing popularity of spot Bitcoin ETFs in major markets. The relatively rangebound trading of Bitcoin, oscillating primarily between $102,711 and $104,971 during this period, likely contributed to this softer, more measured demand for ETF exposure. However, it would be premature to interpret this dip in ETF open interest as a signal of a broader or sustained institutional retreat from Bitcoin. Activity in the derivatives markets, for instance, paints a more nuanced, and in some aspects, more bullish picture. Strong demand for call options, which give buyers the right but not the obligation to buy Bitcoin at a specific price in the future, indicates that a segment of sophisticated traders is actively positioning for an upward price movement, with some targeting levels around $110,000. In futures markets, when open interest rises in tandem with price, it typically signals that new capital is entering the market, reinforcing the strength and conviction behind the prevailing trend. Contrasting sharply with the moderation observed in ETF flows is the aggressive and strategic accumulation of Bitcoin by corporate entities, most notably exemplified by Metaplanet. The Japanese investment firm recently captured headlines with its announcement of an additional purchase of 1,004 Bitcoin. This transaction marked its second-largest single acquisition of the cryptocurrency to date. This significant purchase, valued at approximately $104.3 million at the time of execution, increased Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 7,800 BTC. This substantial stash is currently worth over $800 million, fluctuating slightly with market prices but generally estimated between $806 million and $807 million. The company disclosed that its average acquisition price for this latest tranche of Bitcoin was around 15.13 million Japanese yen per BTC. Crucially, its overall average cost per BTC for its entire holdings now stands at approximately $91,340. Metaplanet's Bitcoin strategy is notably ambitious and long-term in its orientation. The company has publicly stated its goals of accumulating 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and has even hinted at a more audacious long-term vision of potentially holding up to 1% of the total global Bitcoin supply. This proactive accumulation positions Metaplanet as a significant corporate holder of Bitcoin, particularly prominent within the Asian financial landscape. Its approach has drawn frequent comparisons to that of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the US-based software intelligence firm renowned for its pioneering and substantial investments in Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset. Such large-scale corporate buying, as demonstrated by Metaplanet and Strategy, can exert considerable upward pressure on Bitcoin's price. By acquiring and holding substantial amounts of BTC, these corporations effectively reduce the freely circulating supply available on exchanges, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as exerting deflationary pressure, especially when corporate and even governmental buying activity is rapid and sustained. Metaplanet's actions, alongside those of other forward-thinking firms, underscore a growing and significant trend: the diversification of corporate treasuries into digital assets. These companies increasingly view Bitcoin not just as a speculative investment, but as a strategic reserve asset, a potential hedge against inflation, and a safeguard against the perceived long-term devaluation of fiat currencies. This movement has seen a notable surge in Bitcoin holdings by businesses globally, particularly since early 2024, signaling a paradigm shift in how corporations manage their financial reserves. The Bedrock of Bitcoin: Network Health, Hashrate Resilience, and Expanding Mining Margins Beneath the often-turbulent surface of price charts and the ebb and flow of institutional capital, the fundamental health and security of the Bitcoin network itself remain remarkably robust. Investment banking giant JPMorgan recently reported that the Bitcoin Network Hashrate experienced a slight but discernible rise in the first two weeks of May. The average hashrate during this period was noted at 88.5 Exahashes per second (EH/s), representing a 2% increase. Other data sources from the blockchain analytics community corroborate this trend, showing the daily hashrate reaching even higher levels, such as 831 EH/s as of May 1, 2025, and even peaking at an impressive 921 EH/s earlier in the month. This represents a significant increase from the lows observed in 2024. As of May 15, 2025, the Bitcoin Network Hash Rate was recorded at approximately 864.51 million Terahashes per second (TH/s), which translates to 864.51 EH/s. This continued upward trajectory in computational power dedicated to the network, even in the aftermath of events like the Bitcoin halving (which reduces the block rewards issued to miners), underscores the sustained confidence of miners and contributes directly to the network's formidable security. Adding to this positive picture, mining gross margins have reportedly expanded sequentially throughout this month. JPMorgan's analysis highlighted that as Bitcoin prices appreciated, miners' gross profit margins also saw a month-on-month expansion, leading to improved economic conditions for those securing the network. The "hash price," a key metric representing daily mining profitability per unit of hash power, increased by a notable 13% when compared to April's figures. In the initial two weeks of May, Bitcoin miners earned approximately $50,100 per EH/s in daily block rewards (which includes both newly minted bitcoins and transaction fees). This figure is up 13% from the previous month and shows a 3% year-on-year increase. This financial viability is crucial. It enables miners to continue investing in their operations, which includes covering significant energy costs and upgrading their specialized hardware (ASICs – Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) to maintain competitiveness and efficiency. Leading manufacturers like Bitmain and MicroBT continuously release more powerful and energy-efficient mining rigs. The fact that the market price of Bitcoin remains significantly higher than the average cost of mining (estimated by some analyses to be around $36,800 per BTC) indicates a healthy profit margin for the mining industry. These margins are comparable to those observed at the beginning of previous bull market cycles, further fueling optimism. Some publicly traded mining companies, such as LM Funding, have reported improved mining margins in the first quarter of 2025, successfully navigating the headwinds from the halving event through operational improvements, strategic power agreements, and in some cases, diversifying revenue streams like power sales. The Untamed Frontier: Meme Coins and the Curious Case of BTC Bull Token While Bitcoin, with its established infrastructure and growing institutional adoption, commands the lion's share of attention, the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to be a fertile ground for innovation, experimentation, and, undeniably, speculation. One of the most prominent and often controversial manifestations of this is the meme coin phenomenon. The question frequently arises in online forums and social media: "Best Meme Coins like BTC Bull Token Next to Surge?" This highlights the persistent allure of these unique digital assets. Meme coins are a distinct category of cryptocurrency, typically inspired by internet memes, viral social media trends, or popular culture. Their value is often driven less by intrinsic utility or underlying technological fundamentals and more by community-generated hype, speculative fervor, and the quest for rapid, exponential gains. They are infamous for their extreme volatility, capable of producing meteoric price surges in short periods, but also equally susceptible to precipitous crashes. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) has emerged as a specific example within this highly speculative niche. It has positioned itself with taglines such as "the official Bitcoin meme coin" or a "Bitcoin-themed meme coin," attempting to leverage the brand recognition and market sentiment surrounding Bitcoin itself. Its core proposition appears to be a system of rewarding its token holders with airdrops of actual Bitcoin when BTC achieves certain predetermined price milestones (for example, when Bitcoin's price reaches $150,000, $200,000, or $250,000). Additionally, the $BTCBULL project outlines plans for token burn events. These events, designed to reduce the total supply of $BTCBULL tokens and theoretically increase their scarcity, are scheduled to occur when Bitcoin's price increases by specific increments (e.g., for every $25,000 increase in Bitcoin's price, starting from a baseline of $125,000). Currently reported to be in its presale phase, projects like BTC Bull Token aim to capitalize on the excitement and upward momentum of Bitcoin bull runs. They offer a highly leveraged, and therefore highly risky, way for speculators to potentially profit from Bitcoin's upside. It is absolutely paramount for anyone considering an allocation to meme coins, including those linked thematically to Bitcoin, to thoroughly understand their inherent high-risk, high-reward nature. These assets are, by definition, intensely speculative. They are highly susceptible to "pump-and-dump" schemes, where coordinated buying inflates the price before early holders sell off en masse, leaving later entrants with significant losses. Many meme coins lack long-term viability, tangible real-world applications, or robust development teams. While the allure of quick, life-changing profits can be undeniably strong, the potential for substantial, and often total, financial loss is equally, if not more, significant. Prudent investors should approach such tokens with extreme caution, treating them more as a form of high-stakes gambling or digital entertainment rather than a serious, fundamentally-driven investment. Due diligence, a clear understanding of the risks involved, and an investment amount one can afford to lose are critical prerequisites. Weaving the Narrative: A Complex Market of Resilience, Adoption, and Speculation The current Bitcoin landscape presents a fascinating and intricate tapestry, woven from a diverse array of threads. We observe robust price action that seems increasingly capable of defying or quickly recovering from macroeconomic pressures. There is the steady, albeit sometimes fluctuating, march of institutional adoption, most visibly through products like ETFs, but also through direct corporate treasury allocations. The unwavering commitment of long-term corporate accumulators, exemplified by firms like Metaplanet, adds another layer of demand. Underpinning all of this is the fundamental strength and security of the Bitcoin network itself, evidenced by a healthy and growing hashrate. And, at the periphery, the ever-present speculative fervor of the broader crypto market, including the volatile world of meme coins, adds a unique dynamism. Bitcoin's demonstrated ability to absorb the potential shock of Moody's US debt downgrade and subsequently rally, largely on the back of what was identified as profit-taking, indicates a growing maturity within its market. It also suggests a potential decoupling, at least to some extent, from the reflexive reactions often seen in traditional financial markets. The widespread anticipation of a new all-time high, with many eyes fixed on the $108,000 level, is not without foundation. It is supported by various technical indicators, ongoing positive sentiment, and a persistent bullish undercurrent in many segments of the market. However, the recent dip in ETF open interest serves as a salient reminder that institutional sentiment can be subject to caution and re-evaluation, and that the path to higher valuations is rarely a straight, uninterrupted line. Corrections and consolidations are natural parts of any market cycle. Metaplanet's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy highlights a different, perhaps more profound, facet of institutional interest. This is not just about short-term trading or exposure to a new asset class; it's about a long-term conviction in Bitcoin's potential role as a strategic treasury reserve asset. Such a trend, if it continues to grow, could have a more sustained and significant impact on Bitcoin's supply and demand dynamics over time. Meanwhile, the healthy hashrate figures and reports of improving miner profitability provide a solid and reassuring foundation for the network's continued secure operation and the confidence of its participants. The emergence and popularity of meme coins like BTC Bull Token, while arguably peripheral to Bitcoin's core value proposition and its aspirations as a global financial asset, reflect the undeniable speculative energy that often accompanies bull markets in the cryptocurrency space. It serves as a reminder of the diverse and sometimes bewildering ecosystem that Bitcoin anchors – an ecosystem that now ranges from highly sophisticated institutional financial products and regulated investment vehicles to community-driven, high-risk, and often ephemeral digital tokens. Gazing Forward: A Market Poised for Potentially Defining Movements As May 2025 continues to unfold, the Bitcoin market stands at a fascinating and potentially pivotal juncture. The confluence of technical factors, institutional behavior, network fundamentals, and macroeconomic influences creates an environment ripe for significant moves. Several key elements will be crucial to watch in the coming weeks and months: • Price Action Around Critical Levels: Bitcoin's ability to decisively breach and, more importantly, hold above the formidable resistance zone generally identified between $105,000 and $108,700 will be a critical determinant of whether a new all-time high is imminent. A strong breakout could ignite further momentum. Conversely, key support levels, likely around the $100,000 to $102,000 range, must hold firm to maintain the prevailing bullish market structure. A break below these supports could signal a deeper correction. • Institutional Capital Flows: Continued monitoring of inflows and outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, as well as changes in their open interest, will provide valuable insights into shorter-term institutional sentiment and positioning. Simultaneously, tracking further corporate accumulation by entities like Metaplanet and Strategy will offer signals regarding long-term conviction and the adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset. • Network Fundamentals and Security: Sustained growth in the Bitcoin network hashrate and the maintenance of healthy mining economics will continue to be vital indicators of the network's underlying security, resilience, and the confidence of its core infrastructure providers. Any significant disruptions or negative trends in these areas could impact broader market sentiment. • Overarching Macroeconomic Influences: While Bitcoin has demonstrated a degree of resilience, the broader global economic climate will undoubtedly continue to exert an influence. Key factors to watch include inflation data from major economies, monetary policy decisions from central banks (particularly regarding interest rates and quantitative easing/tightening), and any further significant developments related to sovereign debt or geopolitical stability. • Prevailing Market Sentiment: The overall sentiment within the cryptocurrency market, as reflected in metrics like the Fear & Greed Index, activity in derivatives markets (funding rates, options skew), and the tenor of discussions within online communities and social media, will play a significant role in driving short-term price movements. This is particularly true for the more speculative assets within the ecosystem. Bitcoin's journey is one of perpetual evolution, marked by innovation, debate, and dramatic market cycles. The current phase, characterized by ambitious price targets, strategic institutional chess moves, and robust underlying network strength, suggests that the coming weeks and months could be particularly pivotal in shaping its longer-term narrative. While the prospect of Bitcoin surpassing the $108,000 mark and venturing into new price discovery territory excites many participants, the asset's inherent volatility, coupled with the speculative elements that froth at the market's fringes, necessitates a balanced and informed perspective. Acknowledging both the transformative potential of Bitcoin and the considerable risks that continue to define its unique position in the global financial landscape remains essential for anyone navigating this dynamic space.

BMT Rebuy Setup (4H)After the heavy drop in BMT, the price is now approaching demand zones. If it reaches the green zone, we can consider entering a buy position there. Risk and capital management should not be forgotten. Targets are marked on the chart. A daily candle closing below the invalidation level will invalidate this analysis. For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry Comment if you have any questions Thank You

EURUSD Long IdeaHi Traders! I'm preparing to take a long on this pair. Definitely taking a lot of patience with it consolidating in between 1.14500 and 1.12800, but the weekly looks like it's setting up. I was thinking it could fill in a little more of the imbalance from the push up past 1.2800, but the candles aren't closing that way. In addition, DXY looks like it's about to drop more. I have a few alerts set to see where I can get the best entry. If everything goes to plan I will be looking to swing this pair up to a weekly bearish CHOCH at 1.1700. Lets see! Good luck everyone!🤞
