Your reading is not inconsistent, but you need to set clear markers:

If you are talking about wave 3 in the sense of Elliott, then the primary impulse should be accompanied by a significant volume extension and an RSI that sustainably exits its median — however, for now, we mainly observe a directional compression post-flat correction.

The surpassing of your previous resistance does not alone validate a wave 3: it could be an extended throwback in B or a liquidity trap* if the selling volume remains structurally deeper in cumulative delta.

Did you buy alts? Very good. But without multi-timeframe confirmation (net positive volume, EMA Bollinger Bands 21-89 daily broken with conviction, and BTC.d ratio in a significant decline below MM50), it's speculative pre-positioning — not a wave 3, let alone a confirmed impulsive cycle.

Are you monitoring? Perfect. But do it with clear triggers, not impressions.

Ask yourself the only real question: does the macro-structural environment allow for a wave 3 without a recovery of BTC dominance or an explosion of stable liquidity? If not, then we are still in wave B.
