The new trick market makers are using to put more pressure on altcoins.
It's a short-term Bitcoin trade. It drops, acquisitions drop, and currencies drop sharply.
The only way to have a major currency explosion is for Bitcoin to be stable, moving in a slow range, then acquisitions slowly decline, and currencies explode. This is how the 2020 bull run began. But this year and in previous years, the strategy has changed, and market makers are always coming up with new tricks to put more pressure on the market.
Neither market makers nor institutions care about altcoins. All of this rise in altcoins is driven by small investors, platforms, and small companies seeking funding.
The big institutions that actually drive the market own billions of dollars, such as BlackRook, MicroStrategy, and Fedilty.
These focus more on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. The rest of the currencies rise because of small traders, and the price quickly drops because they take their profits quickly.
So I believe the cycle has completely changed. Since the entry of institutions into crypto, it has destroyed everything. Unfortunately,
I don't think a bull run will come. Bitcoin has reached its peak, and Ethereum is also close to its peak. XRP, Solana, and Sui These strong currencies that whales and institutions are interested in have all already reached new peaks.
The remaining altcoins are waiting. From my perspective, only a few currencies will reach new peaks, for example. Most currencies will not rise.
There are five months left. If the currencies don't rise by then, it will take another year.

$BTC Big perp driven push higher to squeeze last week's highs.
Generally want to be cautious with these kinda moves early in the week.
If price can trade and hold above $107K that'd show a good amount of strength but even then, this quick Open Interest increase is something you want to get rid of to get a clean reset before really getting excited.
In 2026: We will enter a bear market, with Jerome Powell stepping down as Fed Chairman in May 2026, and the Fed Chairman replacing him. This year, interest rates will begin to be cut rapidly and continuously, in response to the crisis and in response to Trump's desire to appoint the new Fed Chairman.
In 2027: The recovery phase begins, and quantitative easing (QE) will begin under the leadership of the new Fed Chairman, clarifying the vision for the new monetary policy.
In 2028/2029: A bull market (a strong bull market) and a market "supercycle" supported by quantitative easing and low interest rates.
In 2030: A debt crisis and high inflation, and a year of sharp and significant reversal of the trend toward a bear market.
Relatively large move early in the month which is something we see a lot.
Price roughly at the mid range with the monthly open sitting at $104.6K.
I think it's pretty safe to assume that these range high/lows are good triggers for whatever larger trend follows.
Below yesterday's lows at ~$100K and I think we'll keep trending down for another 1-2 weeks as that'd really show weakness and confirm a larger correction is due.
But if price trades back above the monthly highs, the correction is more likely to be over and there's a good likelihood that we head to all time highs and beyond.
Good chance we range around this area for a while though, without any of these levels breaking. So don't get chopped up.
It is having a clear bearish retest of the Head & shoulders pattern.
Targeting 96-100k.
Invalidation/Stoploss :
a breakout & hold above 104800$.

$BTC There's a big difference between the green and red areas I've marked on this chart.
The green area saw a +42% increase in price with 30K BTC in Aggregated Open Interest added.
The red area saw just a +8% increase in price with 45K BTC in Aggregated Open Interest added. So that's 50% more OI added in a move that was less than 1/5th the size.
A lot of leverage added into that all time high sweep and I think there's still quite a chunk of that left, which is now trapped at $108K-$110K and is yet to unwind I think.
Open interest going up with price is normal, but it's important that it stays balanced. Where the move in the green area was very clean & healthy, the last push up was paired with a lot of longs chasing and is also one of the main reasons why price stalled out.
A quick flush in open interest back to the white dotted line would make for a nice reset in that regard and would make me more bullish again in the short/mid term.
