#TradeLessons

One major #TradeLessons I’ve learned: never trade $BTC breakouts based solely on price action. In the past, I bought BTC every time it broke above key levels — $20K, $50K, $69K — without checking macro and on-chain data. That got me trapped more than once.

This cycle, I’ve changed my process. Before trading BTC’s recent breakout above $100K, I confirmed confluence:

Macro backdrop: U.S.–China trade tensions eased, and DXY fell below 102 — a bullish macro signal.

ETF inflows: Over $12 billion in net inflows to U.S. Bitcoin ETFs since launch.

Exchange reserves: Dropped to a 4-year low, per CryptoQuant — showing strong long-term holding behavior.

Funding rates: Neutral to slightly positive, indicating the move wasn’t overly driven by leveraged longs.

I entered $BTC at $94.8K with high conviction. The result? Profitable, stress-free trading. The lesson: price action is only half the story — align it with deeper fundamentals. #TradeLessons #TradeStrategy
