$BTC

Bitcoin is still the foundation of all Bitcoin pairs I trade. Whether I'm trading on SOLBTC or ETHBTC, I look at Bitcoin's strength to gauge market sentiment. When Bitcoin is stable, altcoins breathe; and when Bitcoin's price rises, most altcoins calm down. This week, I am watching Bitcoin's breakout from the resistance level, which may lead to temporary rises in altcoins. Bitcoin pairs tell us where capital is flowing - ignore them at your own risk.
