As of now, BTC.D remains bullish, meaning altcoins are likely to stall further. Be cautious when investing, and don’t be fooled by minor surges—they often end up being bull traps. If BTC.D drops into the 57.80% range, it signals potential consolidation on the daily timeframe. At that point, we might see some altcoins push for higher ranges. But beware—the zombies behind the hidden mechanics of the trading system are still at work. As a short-term trader, I’d suggest focusing on quick trades rather than holding long positions.
You could even approach this situation as a bull flag scenario. Didn’t I mention a few weeks ago in my idea titled “Institutional Ambush” that USDT.D had already signaled manipulation on the weekly timeframe, much like a bull flag pattern? Perhaps some of you saw that as a short-term warning, but it wasn’t—it’s happening live. Look closely at how many bull traps occurred during the last bull flag. Just when many traders declared Bitcoin was doomed to crash, institutional investors flipped the script and pushed prices higher.
Traders, please understand this—I’m not here to tell you what to do. My intent isn’t for you to blindly follow my advice, but rather to take my warnings and integrate them into your own analysis. Remember, we’re in this together, learning and adapting.
—I’ll humble myself here— because, as I’ve mentioned many times before, I’m still new to trading. Many of you have shared insightful comments that broadened my understanding of the market and added more tasks to my development process.
For example, a few weeks ago, someone suggested I check USDT.D for signs of manipulation. I knew nothing about USDT.D at the time, but when I investigated, I found it could accurately project Bitcoin’s price movements—the ups and downs. It was like striking gold, a tool that offered a glimpse into the future. I plan to mention that trader’s name soon and award a certificate of appreciation.
BTC.D is another example—I hadn’t considered it until a trader named DrippyCrypto suggested I take a look. After studying it, I learned that BTC.D isn’t just about Bitcoin dominance; it’s essential for predicting altcoin movements. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to evaluate whether altcoins will have bullish or bearish days. Even though I’m still learning, please note that I’m doing intense research on everything shared with me.
Now, when I set a target and my idea doesn’t play out as expected, despite using ATR and several other technical analysis methods, something feels off. It’s not about justifying myself—it’s about understanding when manipulation is at play. Yes, lower prices will happen, but I can’t lean on that idea yet because my analysis still reads bullish. I won’t abandon my technical analysis just because manipulation occurred.
Allow me the space to grow. There will come a time when I’ve fully grasped the market, though, of course, there’s no end to learning. Stick to what you know. Stick to your formula. But out of respect, please don’t try to apply your formula to my trading style. By now, you’ve probably noticed that my focus is on mastering shorter timeframes, even though they don’t always align with higher timeframes. If you’re using higher timeframes, you may corner me publicly for corrections—and that’s fine—but understand, my goal is different.
A few days ago, I mentioned that I’d be changing my trading approach due to manipulation. I’m still working on that, but here’s what my next idea might look like: no price predictions, just a random image with real-time updates. Why? Because in highly volatile moments, being too specific with ideas can mislead others, potentially causing losses if the market swings unexpectedly. Once the volatile period ends, I’ll resume posting ideas with price ranges.
Lastly, I want to say this: I’m aware that at times I may have come across as if I know everything—conceited, arrogant, and brash. That’s not the case. I’m learning, adapting, and constantly working on refining how I explain and express my ideas. So, I ask for a bit of patience and understanding as I continue to grow and develop my skills.
