$BTC Nothing changed here so far. Market went straight up from the yearly open but rejected at the same resistance.
Now sitting at the 4H 200MA/EMA again near the middle of the range.
Would still recommend most people to just wait until either ~$83K or ~$94K gives in and then go from there. Could easily take a few more weeks if the market can't make up its mind of where to go.

$BTC As we speak, it is unlikely that the monthly low (and high) holds.
100% of months in the past 2 years have seen a larger wick below the monthly candle than this one. This is why a candle going straight up from its open, is often a reason to be cautious later on.
With that, looking at the time and distance that the current high and low were set, it is expected to see further expansion of this monthly candle (in either direction).
So keep an eye out for these levels. Especially as its also the yearly open and candle which just started.
Personally I'd prefer it more if we took out those low

$BTC Low timeframe liquidity clusters to watch are ~$89K & ~$92K.
As price is back in the middle of its larger range I wouldn't be surprised to see it chop around this region until the end of the week.

We finally got the retrace I was expecting since last 2 days
Want to see the levels marked hold to continue with the bullish bias!
Will be scanning for strength alts to trade besides heavily bidding majors for higher...
But first want to see Bitcoin hold $90.4K+

$BTC Is trading at resistance as we speak, but if it were to break higher, there's a decent amount of liquidity all the way up to $98K.
On the downside, there's a bit of a gap and you won't reach the larger liquidity cluster until around the yearly open again down to $85K.

$BTC's Q1 has historically been pretty decent.
Since that awful 2018 Q1, returns have been decent, even in a bear market year like 2022 it wasn't down that much just yet.
Curious to see how this Q1 will end. Especially as the year leading into it was very lackluster.

Bitcoin tapped range high while $ETH & $SOL are looking to breakout
If we hold through this minor retrace & consolidate during the weekend... then can expect Bitcoin to breakout for higher!
Once thats out of the way, it shall be the beginning for a few green weeks!
Shared my plans below for the coming days

$BTC During this sideways chop, the BTC funding rate & Spot premium has remained roughly the same.
Price is compressing though so I am expecting a larger move here in the next 1-2 weeks.
Best to just wait for that to occur for confirmation though and not chop yourself up.

Key Narratives to Focus on in 2026
Crypto has always moved in narratives, but 2026 will be different in one important way.
Markets are no longer rewarding ideas just because they sound ambitious. They are rewarding things that work.
After years of speculative cycles, down-only launches, and overbuilt tech with no users, participants have become sharper.
Capital is more selective. Attention is harder to earn. And belief is increasingly tied to real usage, real revenue, and real demand. The narratives that lead 2026 will reflect that shift.
Below are the themes most likely to capture mindshare

What I feared happened again to Bitcoin...
Whole move retraced near US open...
Nothing changes until we get a break under $90K or $83K....
Yearly open at $93.5K is a critical zone too as it would be the first time the yearly candle closes red in a 4Y cycle if it remain same?

$BTC Yearly liquidation/liquidity heatmap not showing any interesting levels.
Price has pretty much gone nowhere this year and took out any large clusters that were there over the past half year.
It will take time for larger clusters to build up which will happen as price keeps ranging or puts in a large high volume move.

In crypto, the goal is not to get rich overnight.
The goal is to survive long enough to win big.
Protect your capital.
Avoid emotional trades.
Keep learning every single day.
Those who stay disciplined during boring markets
are the ones who shine in bull runs. 📈
Stay early. Stay sharp.

The $BTC vs $SILVER chart is insane.
High multiple moves relative to each other every few years. Now trading back to below the 2017 Bitcoin Highs.
In just 4 months, Silver has gained +190% relative to BTC. It took 1.5 years for BTC to pull a similar move during 2024 and 2025.

$BTC Not BTC's best year to say the least.
Yes, this year was abysmal, especially looking at the risk adjusted returns and I can't defend that. But it is always good to note that previous years were much better and you only hear people complain when BTC isn't up 100%-200% a year.
Here's to more good years in the future. If you're here for the long haul, then the bad periods shouldn't bother you too much.
During years like these, we are taking big steps towards distributing coins from OG large holders and get a more evenly spread supply. Regardless of price action in the short term, that's alwa
