CRYPTO MECHANIC

Trading the trend sounds complicated when you first hear it, but it's actually one of the simplest things you can do in this market if you understand what a trend actually is.
Crypto and most financial markets are trending markets and once you understand how a trend works the rest is just patience and execution.
Let's break it down.
The Bull Market (Higher Highs, Higher Lows)
In a bull market, price doesn't just go up in a straight line. It goes up in steps. Every time it makes a new high, it pulls back a bit, then pushes up again to make another high that's higher than the last one. The lows also keep climbing, each low sits above the previous low.
That's the whole structure of an uptrend: higher highs and higher lows. As long as that pattern keeps repeating, the trend is intact.
Here is the live example
This is Bitcoin's bull market from December 2022 to October 2025.
If you notice, price has been making higher highs and higher lows ever since the December 2022 bottom.
Now ask yourself how many buying opportunities there were within this trend, and how easy it could have been to make money if you were simply following the trend.
Bull Market Pullbacks Are Opportunities
Here's where most people mess up. When price pulls back in a bull market, they panic and think the trend is over. But a pullback in an uptrend isn't a warning sign it's an opportunity, as long as the bigger trend is still intact.
The way to play this is simple: use your higher timeframe to tell you what the overall trend is (your bias), and use your lower timeframe to time your entry during the pullback. Higher timeframe gives you direction. Lower timeframe gives you the trigger.
Lets Use Weekly Chart as our Bias
From $38k to $74k was the one leg on the weekly chart before it started to pullback. Now obviously you can't catch a pullback on weekly timeframe because price may go to all the way down to its higher low, it usually does not. Then what you should do it use weekly as your Bias and the drop the timeframe to 1Day and look for buy opportunities. It could be a support area or a Daily demand area.
Daily chart for Entry Trigger
You can see that within that weekly leg, there was a daily demand zone where price pulled back, found support, and bounced.
This is exactly how you can use your higher-timeframe bias to execute lower-timeframe entries.
Instead of chasing price, you identify the main trend on the higher timeframe, wait for a pullback into a key area, and then look for an entry on the lower timeframe with a better risk-to-reward setup.
Pullbacks Are Short-Lived in a Bull Market
In a healthy bull market, pullbacks don't last long. Price dips, shakes out the impatient traders, and then recovers back toward the highs sometimes even pushing past them. As long as the trend structure doesn't break, the market keeps doing this over and over.
This is exactly why chasing every dip with fear, or trying to "wait for it to go lower" usually backfires.
How Investors and Swing Traders Should Use This
If you're investing or swing trading, your job is simple: ride the trend for as long as it stays intact, and get out the moment it actually breaks. You're not trying to catch the exact top or the exact bottom. You're trying to capture the bulk of the move while the structure of higher highs and higher lows keeps holding.
The moment that structure breaks, meaning price makes a lower high or a lower low, that's your signal that the easy part of the move is probably over.
Live Example
Bitcoin started its uptrend around $22k, which is where the downtrend structure was broken. From there, price continued making higher highs and higher lows all the way up to the $100k area.
Once that structure broke, it was your first warning sign that the trend might be changing. If you were already in the market, that was the point where you should have started becoming more cautious and looking to take profits rather than aggressively adding new positions.
Keep in mind that this is based on the weekly structure. If you drop down to the daily timeframe, you may identify trend shifts earlier. But since we're analyzing the weekly trend, Bitcoin effectively broke its bullish structure when it lost the $100k level and started creating lower lows on the weekly chart.
The goal isn't to sell the exact top. The goal is to stay with the trend while it's intact and recognize when the market structure begins to change.
The Bear Market
Bear markets work the same way, just flipped upside down. Instead of higher highs and higher lows, you get lower highs and lower lows. Every bounce gets sold off, and every low breaks below the previous low.
Here is the live example
Bounces Are Opportunities to Short
Just like pullbacks are buying opportunities in a bull market, bounces are shorting opportunities in a bear market. Price rallies a little, traders get hopeful, and then it gets rejected and rolls back over. That bounce is the opportunity for short sellers, the same way a pullback is the opportunity for buyers in an uptrend.
Live example
What If You Want to Buy in a Bear Market?
Not everyone wants to short. Some people just want to buy and hold. If that's you, you've basically got two choices: wait for the market to actually shift its trend structure meaning it finally starts printing a higher high and a higher low or, be patient and let the bear market hand you some seriously good discounts along the way.
Either way, the key is not to fight the trend. Let it tell you what it's doing, and trade with it instead of against it.
I hope you learned something from this educational lesson, Let me know.!

How is it that whenever the majority gets excited about a certain direction, the price ends up moving the other way?
When Bitcoin dumped below $60K in February, people got extremely excited. Everyone was calling for $50K, $40K, or even lower. There were targets everywhere but price bounced to $82k's. Then last week, when Bitcoin dropped back toward the $60K area again, the same thing happened. People once again became convinced that $50K or $40K was just around the corner.
Instead, the market did the exact opposite. Bitcoin is now up nearly 10% from those lows.
This reminds me of 2018. Back then, Bitcoin was trading above $6,000, and many people were waiting for $4,000 or even $3,000, There were multiple bounces from the same zone. Eventually, Bitcoin did get there but only after most people had given up on the idea It happened when expectations had died and nobody was talking about those targets anymore.
The market has a funny way of teasing people. It rarely gives the majority what they expect when they expect it. In 2018 price took 218 Days to break $6000 zone.
And now it is the $60k zone.
Anyways, let's jump straight into the charts and see what we can expect next from Bitcoin now that the bulls have successfully defended the $60K level.
BTCUSD (Weekly)
Before we look at the current picture, let me remind you what we discussed last time about the weekly chart.
In last week's update we discussed two charts "Line chart" and "Weeky SFP"
Our focus will remain on these two this week as well.
BTCUSD (Line Chart)
I'll keep this chart analysis straightforward.
I don't know how far the price can push in the short term based on the lower timeframes, we'll discuss that shortly. However, as long as Bitcoin doesn't print a higher high, the possibility of more downside remains on the table.
Historically, Bitcoin rarely breaks a lower high unless it's preparing to shift the market structure and begin a new bull market.
The weekly chart has remained bearish since the $100K, and that hasn't changed yet. Any rallies or bounces are likely to be short-lived unless we see a clear market structure shift.
BTCUSD (Weekly SFP)
Last week, we discussed Bitcoin's weekly SFP. We talked about how Bitcoin had a fakeout at $60K, and we also discussed that these weekly SFPs have a big significant impact on the price. Whenever a weekly SFP has come, the market has reversed from there. Now, this 60K fakeout, whether short-term or not, it was enough to liquidate people, because at the $60K break, obviously a lot of people shorted the market, and they are now getting squeezed as price is now trading just around $66k.
As $60K still remains there, and I said last week too, that I would rather be neutral around 60K than be bearish. So, I think I will leave the same remarks again: as long as 60K stands, I just don’t really want to be overly or ultra-bearish. So, I will still remain neutral on the fact that 60K still stands. If it breaks 60K, then I can only provide you my downside targets. But until 60K, I just don’t want to.
BTCUSD (Daily)
Last week, we discussed how a very high volume was traded around the $65K–$67K region. Now that price has returned to this zone, bears will likely want to defend it.
Just like bears got overly excited around $60K, don't become ultra-bullish around this area.
I entered a position on the $60K sweep and have already reduced a significant portion of my trade. At this point, I'm more interested in seeing how price reacts around this high-volume zone rather than chasing the move higher.
BTCUSD (12hr)
Yesterday's move was largely driven by the U.S.-Iran peace deal announcement. While it feels like the 99th deal announcement at this point, the market still reacts positively to it, so Trump keeps using it as a catalyst.
I've said it many times: news-driven moves and weekend moves are not always reliable.
Now that price is trading around a key zone, this is where things get interesting. Any signs of weakness here could send Bitcoin back toward the low $60Ks–$62K region.
That’s pretty much it for this Bitcoin update.
I won't be looking for any new trade setups while price is sitting at this key zone. If we get a breakout, I'll reassess and see whether it's worth trading.
For now, I won't be adding any new positions. I already caught one move and booked a good portion of it. There's no need to rush back into the market when price is trading at a major level.
Exited bears around $60k got humbled, Don't be overly excited excited bull now.
Like i said above i will leave the same remarks as i said last week.
Not Bullish because all timeframes are bearish
Not Bearish because $60k is the only key zone on chart.
I Will continue to catch some lower timeframe moves but for a big swing, We need some high timeframe shift.
