Bitcoin is rebounding from the $93K zone, now trading at $96,182 (-0.15%). While the bounce is promising, BTC still faces key resistance that must break for continued upside.
š Technical Breakdown
š¹ 1D Chart: ⢠Above mid-Bollinger Band but struggling at resistance. ⢠RSI 57.8 ā Neutral, needs stronger momentum. ⢠MACD flipping bullish, but volume lacks confirmation.
š¹ 4H Chart: ⢠BTC bounced off $95K, but $96,800 - $97,500 remains a barrier. ⢠MACD is positive, but sustained volume is needed. ⢠Bollinger Bands tightening ā Expect volatility soon.
š¹ 1H & 15M Charts: ⢠Pullback after $96,600 high ā Possible retrace to $94,800 - $95,200 for re-entry. ⢠Short-term RSI cooling off ā Watch for reaction at support.
ALTCOINS NEARING A BOTTOM? šØ Critical Signs to Watch Now
Altcoins may be approaching a major bottom. While Bitcoin dominance could see another push higher, repeated bounces off this trendline increase the odds of a breakdownāhistorically the catalyst for altcoin rallies.
Novemberās altcoin surge began when Bitcoin dominance broke lower, and we may be setting up for round two. Over the next 72 hours, expect extreme volatility in the altcoin market. Bitcoin dominance is trading in a tight range, meaning a breakout or breakdown is imminent. Getting caught on the wrong side could be costly.
Additionally, RSI across multiple assets signals an oversold market. The average RSI sits at 26.61ādeep in bearish territory. Key takeaways:
1. Majority in Weak/Oversold Zone ā Most assets have RSI between 20-40, signaling potential reversals.
2. Scarcity in Overbought Territory ā Very few assets show strength, reflecting weak bullish sentiment.
3. Potential for Mean Reversion ā If buying pressure returns, a relief rally could follow, but oversold conditions can persist in strong downtrends.
This market may be nearing capitulation. Watch for reversal signalsāconfirmation is key before entering longs. Iām holding a number of spot bags, and DCAād at different key levels to play it safe; still in red, but the market will turn. ;)

just trying out future trade fornthe first time...I do t really care about the investment if I lose it or not but ...just wanted to confirm from the experienced future traders if my trade ammunitions looks good?
wouldn't it be unfair to categories one who trades/buy saves for the longterm with a DCA suppprt greedy...isn't that also a plan...nased of that I kinda disagree with that part.

Fear and Greed: The Silent Puppeteers of Your Trades
Youāre in a trade. The market dips, and fear takes over. āWhat if it crashes further?ā You sell in a panic, locking in losses. Hours later, the market rebounds, and youāre left wondering what went wrong.
Or maybe greed gets the better of you. Your tradeās in profit, but you think, āJust a little more.ā The market reverses, erasing everything. Sound familiar?
These scenarios arenāt rareātheyāre the reality of trading under the influence of fear and greed. Letās unpack them: ⢠Fear: 1. Panic Selling: Acting impulsively to avoid losses, only to realize you jumped the gun. 2. Missed Opportunities: Fear keeps you on the sidelines, watching others capitalize while you hesitate. ⢠Greed: 1. Overtrading: Chasing every move, racking up fees, and increasing exposure to risk. 2. Holding Losers: Convincing yourself the market will ācome backā while your capital drains away.
Hereās the truth: fear and greed only control you if you trade without a plan.
I never enter a trade without one. Before placing an order, I know: 1. How much Iām willing to lose if the trade failsāmy risk tolerance is non-negotiable. 2. Where my stop loss is set. Itās my safety net against the unexpected. 3. My take profit targets. At least the first one, where I lock in gains and secure a win.
This plan is unconditionalāa roadmap I follow, no matter the chaos.
Your edge as a trader isnāt in avoiding emotionsāitās in controlling them with discipline. If you found this post valuable, consider tipping. Cheers!

As the year winds down, the crypto world braces for the possibility of a Santa Claus Rallyāa phenomenon where markets light up like holiday decorations, bringing unexpected gains. Historically, crypto has seen post-Christmas rallies eight out of the past ten years, with Bitcoin often leading the charge.
Why does it happen? Some say itās holiday optimism spilling into the markets, while others credit year-end tax moves or lighter trading volumes amplifying every trade. Whatever the reason, itās a reminder that the crypto market has a rhythm all its own, even during the festive season.
This year feels particularly charged. Bitcoin has broken $100K, and institutional interest is rewriting the rules of the game. Will the rally return? Maybe. Maybe not. The key isnāt predicting itāitās being ready.
For serious traders, the holidays arenāt about wishful thinking; theyāre about smart positioning. Keep an eye on momentum, look for opportunities in overlooked altcoins, and donāt let the seasonās excitement cloud your judgment. Iāll let you guys know anyways If I spot an opportunity, and if something develops further analysis so you can be ready.
The markets might rally, or they might test us instead. Either way my friends, itās about playing the long game. As for me, Iām keeping my strategy tight and focused. If youāre looking for a way to navigate these shifts, check out my lead copy trading account, and letās see what this holiday season holds. Click here to copy my trades and šš°. After all, in crypto, even Santa loves a good surprise. š. Cheers!
I must also admit what you're doing is really amazing ...really appreciate you taking your time to bring ur knowledge to bear to curb novice investors from losses..ššæššæš„

Bitcoin Update: The Cruel Break Unfolds
As I mentioned in yesterdayās update, the biggest concern was the potential trendline break on $BTCāand here we are. It happened, exactly as anticipated, and ācruelā is the only way to describe it.
Now that $98K support is lost, the brief upside move was merely a bearish retest of $98K before the price turned lower. All signs point to $92K as the next target. Beyond that, $85K comes into play, a more significant level due to its untapped nature. While itās less likely to be hit, the market is unpredictable, so we canāt rule anything out.
For now, Iād still avoid opening new positions. As I highlighted last time, $BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance) still has room to runāfar from being done. The next key resistance sits at the 60% level, and if $BTC drops impulsively, expect another 20% decline in altcoins as $BTC.D surges well beyond 60%.
While this might sound grim, itās actually an opportunity for those patient enough to wait. Once $BTC.D spikes, youāll have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to accumulate quality altcoins ahead of the next rally. Remember, we remain bullish on the long-term as long as BTC holds above the $90K daily low.
Iāve taken a lot of heat over the last two weeks for urging profit-taking, but here we areā40% down on most assets. Let me say it again: a major spike in $BTC.D (potentially up to 70%) has historically been a catalyst for an altcoin rally. But surviving that drop wonāt be easyāitās going to be ugly, and I wonāt sugarcoat it. My goal is to prepare you, not to comfort you. I told you to beware all those crypto gurus urging you to buy now⦠they are clueless or dishonest. Wait for the bottom with clear signs of reversal, only then you buy ā strong coins ā.
Stay disciplined, and trade safely. The opportunities are coming, but only for those ready to seize them. If you want to grow with me, click here to copy my trades and š°š. Cheers!
around what period should we be expecting close to the final drop buttom? I've lost close to a 100us in the last couple of days but I'm.not worried as I'm aiming for the long run.

A lot is happening after the Fed meeting, and Iāll break that down in my next post. But for now, I have to be here the voice of reason, and hereās the most important thing I can tell you: STOP TRADING ALTS. Donāt listen to all the fake crypto gurus telling you to buy this coin or that coin right now. We donāt know where the bottom of this drop is yet, and thereās no clear signal to guide us.
Hereās a quick summary of whatās going on: ⢠Yesterday, the Fed cut rates by 0.25 bps, and Powellās speech sent the markets into more volatilityānothing new there. ⢠Crypto and stocks have been pumping hard for the past few months, so this retracement was overdue. ⢠The dollar is strengthening, and naturally, thatās putting downward pressure on BTC.
So, What Should You Do? ⢠Spot Bags: Keep them as they are. If youāve got strong positions, just hold. Iād advise further DCA if youāre in a bullish trend, but donāt jump the gun yet. Wait for a clear signal before making any major moves. ⢠Futures: Be very careful in this volatile market. Personally, Iāve only longed LINK, which is still not in profit, and Iām staying out until I see a clear opportunity. Iāll move with a small risk until the market gives me something more predictable. ⢠BTC.D: This is where my concern lies. BTC dominance is nowhere near resistance. One spike to 60% and alts could drop another 20-30%. A massacre, basically.
The market is volatile, and sometimes doing very little is the best move. Iām staying cautious for now and keeping my eyes on the marketās next move.
If you want to make sure youāre navigating these waves without getting caught off guard, check out my copy trading account. Iām managing risk while others chase every shiny altcoinābecause, letās be honest, sometimes doing nothing is the best move. Click here to copy and š°š
Stay smart, stay patient, and letās ride this out together.
