$BTC — HTF EMERGENCY UPDATE Read this carefully. The sudden move from 63K → 79K forces me to make an emergency HTF update and reassess the bigger picture. For almost 6 months, our major HTF reads have been extremely consistent: Long: 66K → 83K Short: 83K → sub 60K Long: 61K → 67K Short: 67K → 57K Long: 57.K → 67K (planned but didn't catch it) Long: 63K → 70K And this is ONLY the HTF. Between every major move, we also took multiple LTF trades on $BTC, majors and alts. You can simply look at my track record in my X bio. We have been on the correct side of this market for months, but that does not mean we are supposed to catch every single candle forever. The market just gave us new information, so instead of defending an old chart because of ego, we adapt. WHAT WENT WRONG ON THE LAST TRADE? The reason behind the last loss is very simple: human error. No excuse and no complicated explanation. Our original plan was to build shorts around 67K–69K, with a possible extension toward 72K, aiming for another lower low. The zone was reached, but the way it was reached was completely different from what I normally trade. Instead of price slowly developing into the area and giving me candle confirmation, BTC violently pumped into it and I rushed the execution. One of my MAIN trading rules is to never immediately trade an aggressive pump or dump simply because it touches one of my HTF zones. Let the candle form, let the market show the reaction, then execute. I literally repeat this rule to you guys all the time, and ironically I broke my own rule. Even the person giving the advice can sometimes make the exact mistake he warns others about. The important distinction is this: my mistake was not having a bearish scenario. My mistake was executing that scenario before the market gave me the reaction I normally require. The bulls showed significantly more strength than expected, the trade was invalidated, and that's it. I trade against machines and algorithms every day under constant pressure. Mistakes are part of the game. Take the information, understand the mistake, improve and move forward. SO… DID $BTC BOTTOM? Yes and no. Could 57K have been the bottom? Absolutely. Can I confirm that with 100% confidence today? No. A move from roughly 63K to 79K with this type of strength matters. You cannot simply ignore it because it goes against your previous expectation. The move was extremely sudden, largely unexpected and, in my opinion, not particularly organic in the way it developed. That can be scary from the bearish side because it clearly proves that bulls are capable of producing serious momentum. But one violent pump does not automatically delete every bearish argument on the HTF. This is exactly why you currently see TWO scenarios on my chart: the white path and the orange path. Both are credible, both interact with extremely important zones and right now I simply do not have enough confirmation to completely remove one from the table. I am not going to randomly choose one because everyone wants to hear “BTC is going to X.” I don't get paid to predict the entire next six months today. I get paid to adapt correctly when the market gives me new information. WHITE SCENARIO — BULLISH CONTINUATION The bullish scenario would be BTC stabilizing around this broader 70K–79K region, building proper structure and eventually continuing higher. The most important area on my chart is the weekly sell zone around 91K–94K. Simply wicking into or above that zone will NOT be enough for me. I want to see real acceptance. I want candles to close correctly, price to reclaim the zone and bulls to prove that sellers are actually losing control. A wick means very little compared with a proper HTF reclaim and acceptance. If that happens, my view changes dramatically. A clean break and acceptance above 91K–94K would be my REAL bull run confirmation, and from there I believe BTC could move extremely fast toward the ATH around 126K. Not because Twitter suddenly became bullish. Not because everyone is celebrating one green candle. Not because alts pumped for three days. Because the HTF structure actually confirmed it. ORANGE SCENARIO — LOWER LOW The second possibility is that the 63K → 79K move ends up being a major deviation before the broader HTF downside continues. In that scenario, BTC fails to properly develop bullish structure, eventually loses the current range and starts rotating lower again. My larger downside area would remain around 45K–55K, where I would expect a new low and potentially a much stronger macro bottom. This is also why people need to understand the difference between a trade invalidation and an entire macro thesis becoming impossible. Our 67K–69K short being invalidated does NOT automatically mean 45K–55K can never happen anymore. It means the exact path and timing we originally expected were wrong. Markets rarely travel from point A to point B in a perfect straight line. Every thesis needs an invalidation. If the market properly reclaims 91K–94K and starts accepting above it, the bearish scenario becomes dramatically weaker. On the opposite side, if BTC starts losing the current structure and bullish attempts repeatedly fail, the probability of the orange scenario starts increasing again. That is how I will choose between both scenarios. Not based on emotions. Not because BTC randomly pumps or dumps 5%. Through structure, candle closes, acceptance, rejection and reaction around important HTF levels. 70K–79K — THE BATTLEGROUND Right now, I consider this broader region extremely important. There may also be periods inside this range where I simply have no strong HTF edge, and that is completely fine. Having no strong macro conviction does NOT mean there are no trades available. HTF bias and LTF trading are two completely different things. We can take a long for a 5–10% move while the larger HTF scenario eventually turns bearish. We can also take shorts inside an overall bullish structure. Never interpret “I think BTC could eventually reach 45K–55K” as “short every green candle.” And never interpret a possible bullish scenario as “long everything with no invalidation.” The HTF tells us where the larger opportunities may develop. The LTF gives us trades while that bigger picture is forming. BE CAREFUL WITH CRYPTO TWITTER I know what many of you are seeing right now. A lot of people on X are celebrating because they were long. Good for them. Winning is winning and I respect anyone who genuinely traded the move correctly. But be extremely careful. A huge amount of people were long with no real argument behind their position. No clear invalidation, no structure, no risk management, no reasoning. Then the market pumps and suddenly everyone claims they perfectly called the bottom. Crypto is filled with people who look like gods for a few weeks and disappear six months later. Some call 20 different scenarios and then advertise the one that worked. Do not let somebody else's temporary W create FOMO inside your own head. The goal is not to hit one massive pump and think you're set forever. Hitting a jackpot without understanding WHY you won can actually hurt you as a trader. You learn nothing, confidence becomes ego, risk increases and eventually the market takes everything back. How many people have we already seen go through exactly this cycle? Longevity matters more than one call. “BUT WE MISSED THE REST OF THE PUMP.” Yes. We were positioned correctly early, caught the move from the low 60Ks toward roughly 70K, closed too early and then attempted the short too early. That's trading. You cannot catch every move, every coin, every bottom and every top. We have caught enormous moves before this one and we will catch enormous moves after this one. I understand that some of you are frustrated watching certain coins explode while feeling like your hands are empty. But if missing ONE move creates that much frustration, you need to ask yourself why. There are infinite opportunities in this market. Maybe you are trying to make money too quickly. Maybe you are comparing yourself with PNL screenshots online. Maybe your position sizing is too large. Maybe something happening in your personal life is creating pressure that you are transferring into your trading. Those are questions YOU need to answer. Becoming a better trader isn't only about getting better entries. It's about understanding yourself enough that the market cannot easily control your emotions. MY PLAN FROM HERE Right now, my job is not to choose a scenario. My job is to wait until the market gives me enough confirmation to eliminate one of them. Very simple: patience. I am not choosing the white scenario or the orange scenario today simply so I can pretend to have all the answers. I need more candles, more structure, more interaction with the important levels and more evidence. With every new candle, the market gives us information and one scenario will progressively become stronger while the other becomes weaker. Until then, I will continue trading because there will ALWAYS be opportunities on $BTC, majors and alts while the HTF picture develops. I do not need to know today whether BTC goes to 50K or 126K next. I only need to correctly trade the next clean move while waiting for the larger confirmation. And sometimes waiting is the highest EV decision you can make. The goal is not to be positioned before everybody else. The goal is to be positioned when confirmation and risk/reward finally align. My job is to continue providing you with the best levels, setups, analysis and risk management possible. I constantly remind you about position sizing, patience, revenge trading, FOMO and why missing a trade is better than forcing one. But remember this: I can do 99% of the work correctly and your remaining 1% can still destroy the other 99% if you overleverage, oversize, revenge trade or completely ignore the plan. At some point, that part becomes your responsibility. I can provide the tools. You need to use them correctly. Jesus couldn't save everybody either 😭 So for now: 70K–79K: Important battleground / information zone. 91K–94K: Major weekly sell zone. A real reclaim + acceptance above it would be serious HTF bullish confirmation and could open a very fast road toward ATH. 45K–55K: Remains the major downside objective if bullish structure fails and the market begins confirming the orange scenario. I have zero emotional attachment to either outcome. If the market proves me bullish, I will be bullish. If the market proves me bearish, I will be bearish. A good trader doesn't defend an old chart because his ego is attached to it. When the market gives new information, you update the model. The market is not paying me to predict the entire next six months today. It is paying me to adapt faster than everyone else when new information appears. No ego. No attachment. No FOMO. We trade what the market gives us. And we keep pushing. 🏴‍☠️
