Right now, #BTC is short-term bearish, trading below the green structure around $90,000. As long as price remains under this level, upside momentum stays capped and the market is vulnerable to more downside.

The key risk level is clear:
If $BTC breaks below the lower blue trendline, this would signal a shift into a long-term bearish phase, opening the door for a deeper move toward the $80,000 area.

On the flip side, there’s still a bullish path:
If BTC manages to reclaim and hold above the $90,000 structure, momentum flips back in favor of the bulls, with price targeting the upper bound of the wedge near $100,000.

I called this area the "perfect intersection" for a reason.

$BTC is now reacting around a level where everything lines up:
- the lower blue trendline
- the 90,000 round number
- a clear demand zone
- and prior structure acting as support

When multiple factors meet at one place, I pay attention.

As long as #BTC respects this zone, the path remains open for another push higher.
If buyers step in here and defend it, I’ll be looking for continuation rather than guessing tops.

There was a trade years ago that worked perfectly.

Not because it was lucky.
Not because the market was easy.

But because I didn’t think.

Everything was already decided.
Structure was clear. Risk was defined.

I just executed.
And that moment stayed with me.

Think about driving.

The road changes.
Traffic changes.
Conditions are never the same.

Yet you don’t overthink every move.
You don’t debate the steering or the brakes.

You just drive.

Because repetition turned chaos into instinct.
That’s exactly what happened with my trading.
Flawless Execution Is the Turning Point

That trade taught me something simple:

Trading becomes profitable when execution becomes automatic.

When price reaches your level, there’s no conversation.
No hesitation... No emotion... No noise...
YOU. JUST. ACT.

I didn’t feel excitement.
I didn’t feel fear.

I felt calm.

When execution becomes second nature, trading stops being heavy, and starts flowing... Just like driving.

Question for you:
When did trading start to feel natural for you? or are you still forcing every decision?

After the strong impulsive move, $XRP is now cooling off and pulling back into a very familiar area.

Price is approaching the round number $2, which is lining up perfectly with the red demand zone.

As long as this $2 level and demand zone hold:
I’ll be looking for long setups, ideally after confirmation on lower timeframes.

If buyers step in as expected, the natural upside target remains the orange supply zone, which marked the previous rejection area.

$BTC reacted exactly where it was supposed to... the blue demand zone held, and buyers stepped in!

Since that reaction, price has started to shift short-term momentum to the upside, forming a rising channel. Nothing aggressive yet, but structure is slowly improving.

From here, my focus is simple:
as long as #BTC keeps trading within this blue channel, I’ll be patiently looking for pullbacks toward the lower bound, and from there, trend-following long setups.

The natural upside magnet remains the orange structure zone, which is still acting as the key decision area.

⚔️Both SOL and XRP are now sitting at a major weekly support zone, clearly marked in blue. This is not just a random level, it’s a key structural area that has defined direction in the past.

From here, the market is at a crossroads:🔁

📉If this weekly support breaks, it would signal a loss of structure, opening the door for further long-term bearish continuation toward the green demand zone below.

📈On the other hand, for bulls to regain control, price must prove strength. That confirmation comes only with a break above the last major daily high, marked in red. Without that, any bounce remains corrective, not a trend reversal.

In short:
Structure is being tested.
Reaction matters more than prediction.

Do you think this support holds, or are we heading deeper into demand? 📊

Every December, traders ask the same question:

Will we get a Christmas rally?

But the real lesson Christmas teaches the market isn’t about rallies.
It’s about behavior.

1️⃣ Christmas Is a Liquidity Event 🎄

As the year comes to an end:
- institutions reduce exposure
- desks thin out
- volume drops
- participation becomes selective

This doesn’t make markets weak.
It makes them quiet.

And quiet markets are where structure forms.

2️⃣ Low Activity Doesn’t Mean No Opportunity

During Christmas weeks, price often:
- compresses
- ranges tightly
- respects key levels
- moves slowly

Many traders mistake this for boredom.

Professionals see it differently.

Low-volatility environments often act like wrapping paper...
they hide the move that comes after the holidays.

3️⃣ Why Breakouts After Christmas Matter More

When markets return to full participation in January, two things happen:
- liquidity comes back
- intent becomes clear

That’s why post-Christmas breakouts tend to be:
- cleaner
- more directional
- better sustained

The move doesn’t start with fireworks.
It starts with patience.

4️⃣ Christmas Rewards the Prepared Trader

While most traders look for action, experienced ones:
- mark levels
- define scenarios
- reduce overtrading
- protect capital

Christmas is not about forcing trades.
It’s about preparing for the next chapter.

Final Thought 🎄

The market doesn’t move because it’s Christmas.
It moves because participants return.

And the traders who respect the quiet season
are usually the ones best positioned when the noise comes back.

So here’s the question:
Are you trying to trade Christmas… or preparing for what comes after it?

For decades, Silver has celebrated the holidays the same way 🎄

Strong rallies.
Rising excitement.
And a familiar ceiling.

🎄Christmas 1980

Silver climbed like a Christmas tree, fast, vertical, and emotional.
The star was reached at the $50 level.

And just like that, the lights went out ✨
The market peaked and collapsed back into its long-term range.

🎄Christmas 2010

Different era. Same story.

Once again, Silver rallied into Christmas, lit up the chart, and tested the same $50 level.
The tree was tall.
The star was bright.

But price could not hold above it.

⭐️Why the Star at $50 Always Mattered

That star was not decorative.
It was structural.

The $50 level represented:
• decades of trapped supply
• historical excess from prior cycles
• a psychological round number the market respected

Every Christmas rally stopped at the same place.

Until this one❗️

💫Christmas 2025: The Star Breaks Free

This time, Silver did not just touch the star.

It broke above it and held.

The Christmas tree is no longer capped.
The star has turned into a shooting star ☄️

That is what price discovery looks like.

When a market escapes a level it failed to conquer for decades, it stops trading inside a box and starts trading into open space.

🌌Discovery Mode: The Sky Is the Limit

With the ceiling gone, Silver enters a new phase.

The blue zone ahead is not a prediction.
It is a projection.

A natural expansion toward the next psychological magnet near 100.

Not because history says so.
But because history no longer applies the same way once a multi-decade barrier breaks.

Above the star, there is only sky.

💡The Takeaway

Silver spent decades decorating the same tree.
This Christmas, it finally stepped outside the room 🎄➡️🌌

And once a market reaches open skies,
it does not ask for permission.

It explores.

🧐So here’s the real question:
Where do you see Silver next Christmas?🎄
And where do you think it will be ten Christmases from now?

Bitcoin just delivered a classic manipulation move into the higher-timeframe demand zone❗️ The sharp sell-off below structure flushed late longs and triggered stops, only to be quickly reclaimed.

That’s not weakness. That’s intent.

📉📈From a structural perspective, this demand zone has already proven itself before. Price reacted strongly from it in the past, and once again, buyers stepped in aggressively after the sweep. This suggests the downside move was more about liquidity than genuine trend reversal.

⁉️Now comes the key question.

⚔️As long as BTC holds above this demand and continues to build acceptance, the focus shifts to a recovery move back into the prior structure and supply zone above. That area will be the real test, whether this bounce is just a correction, or the start of a larger continuation.

For now, patience is key. Let price show its hand near demand before committing.

Is this the reset before the next leg higher, or just a temporary relief bounce? 🤔

If trading ever feels personal, it’s not.
The market isn’t hunting you; it’s hunting liquidity.

Understanding this single idea changes how you read charts forever.

1️⃣ The Market Moves Toward Liquidity, Not Logic

Most traders expect price to move because a pattern is “complete” or a level is “perfect.”

In reality, price moves to where orders are sitting.

Where is liquidity usually found?
- Above obvious highs
- Below obvious lows
- Around round numbers
- Near breakout levels everyone is watching

The market goes where the orders are, not where traders hope it goes.

2️⃣ Breakouts Are the Most Common Liquidity Pools

When price approaches a clear resistance, traders place:
- breakout buys above
- stop-losses from shorts just above

That creates a liquidity magnet.

Price spikes above the level, fills those orders…
and often reverses sharply once liquidity is consumed.

That’s not manipulation... that’s mechanics.

3️⃣ Traps Reveal Who’s Really in Control

A trap happens when price:
- breaks a key level
- fails to follow through
- returns back inside the range

This tells you something critical:
➡️ The side that should have won… didn’t.

4️⃣ Professionals Don’t Chase; They Wait

Retail traders react to the breakout.
Professionals wait for the reaction after the breakout.

They ask:
- Did price accept above the level?
- Did momentum expand or fade?
- Did structure shift or snap back?

Patience turns traps into opportunities.

📚The Core Lesson

The market’s job is not to reward anticipation. It’s to test conviction.

Once you stop trading where everyone else enters and start observing who gets trapped,
price action becomes clearer, calmer, and more logical.

Most traders spend their time hunting for the perfect level.✖️
Support. Resistance. Demand. Supply.

They draw the zone… and assume price must react.

But professionals know something crucial:

The level itself is not the edge.
The reaction is.

Here’s why.

1️⃣ Levels Are Common Knowledge

Everyone sees the same support.
Everyone sees the same resistance.

If levels alone were enough, everyone would be profitable.

A level is just a location.📍
It doesn’t tell you who is in control.

2️⃣The Reaction Reveals Intent

What matters is how price behaves at the level.

Ask yourself:
- Does price reject immediately or hesitate?
- Are candles impulsive or overlapping?
- Does price leave the level with strength or drift away slowly?

A strong reaction tells you:
➡️ One side stepped in aggressively.

A weak reaction tells you:
➡️ The level exists… but conviction doesn’t.

3️⃣ Clean Rejections Beat Perfect Levels

A slightly imperfect level with a violent reaction
is far more valuable than a textbook level with no follow-through.

Professionals wait for:
- sharp rejections
- momentum expansion
- structure confirmation

They don’t assume... they observe.

4️⃣ Failed Reactions Are Warnings

When price reaches a level and does nothing…
that silence is information.

Failed reactions often lead to:
- level breaks
- deeper moves
- trend continuation

The market is telling you:
➡️ “This level no longer matters.”

📚The Big Lesson

Levels tell you where to look.
Reactions tell you what to do.

If you shift your focus from drawing levels to reading behavior at levels,
your trading instantly becomes clearer and more objective.

Most traders look at volume the wrong way.✖️

They expect volume to tell them where price will go next.

But volume’s real job is much more important:

Volume explains why price moved the way it did.

If you learn to read volume correctly, price action becomes clearer, not noisier.

1️⃣ Price Up + Rising Volume = Commitment

When price moves higher and volume expands, it means buyers are committed, not just reacting.

This is not random buying.
This is participation.

📈Rising volume during an impulse confirms that the move is supported by real interest, not just thin liquidity.

Strong trends are built on expanding volume.

2️⃣ Price Up + Falling Volume = Warning

When price continues higher but volume dries up, something changes.

The move still exists... but conviction doesn’t.

This often signals:
- exhaustion
- a potential pause
- or an upcoming correction

That’s when professionals stop chasing and start managing risk.

3️⃣ Sideways Price + Rising Volume = Accumulation or Distribution

This is where most traders get confused:
Price isn’t moving much, but volume is increasing.

That’s not boredom.
That’s positioning.

Large players don’t chase price.
They build positions quietly while price looks “dead.”

Breakouts that follow these zones tend to be fast and decisive, because the work was already done.❗️

4️⃣ Breakouts Without Volume Are Suspect

A breakout candle looks exciting.
But without volume, it’s just a move, not a decision.

Low-volume breakouts often lead to:
- fakeouts
- traps
- fast reversals

🏹Volume doesn’t need to explode... but it needs to confirm participation.

💡The Big Picture

Volume is not a signal by itself. It’s context.

Price tells you what happened, while Volume tells you how serious that move really was.

✔️When price and volume agree, trades feel easy.
✖️When they disagree, something important is hiding underneath.

📦 $XRP has been holding well above its key support zone, and as long as this level continues to act as a floor, we will be looking for long setups. Buyers have defended this zone multiple times, making it a critical area for a potential bullish reaction.

🏹However, for the bulls to fully take over, #XRP needs more than just a bounce. A confirmed break above the falling channel and the last major high in red is needed to shift the momentum and open the door for a larger bullish leg.

Until then, the plan remains simple:
Support holds → look for longs.
Structure breaks → bulls take control.

Will XRP finally break free from this falling channel? 🤔

Most traders spend years perfecting chart patterns, indicators, and entries…
Yet only a handful ever master the real skill that separates professionals from the rest, the art of waiting.

📉 Anyone can draw support and resistance.
📈 But not everyone can wait for price to reach them.

The market rewards patience, not predictions.
It’s not about catching every move, it’s about being ready when your setup aligns perfectly.
That’s when you strike. That’s when probability works for you, not against you.

Think of trading like fishing 🎣:
You don’t chase the fish, you position your line where it’s most likely to bite, then you wait.

So next time you feel the urge to jump in early, remind yourself:
You’re not just a trader. You’re a waiter, paid in precision and patience.

📚 Key takeaway:
Great traders don’t predict, they prepare.
They let the market move first, then respond with clarity.

📈$ETH remains overall bullish, moving steadily inside its rising channel. Every dip toward the lower bound has acted as a clean continuation point for the next push upward.

🏹As price pulls back, we will be looking for long setups once ETH retests the intersection of the lower trendline and the demand zone. This confluence area has been respected multiple times, making it a high-probability level for trend-following entries.

⚔️As long as #ETH holds above this orange zone, the bullish structure remains intact, and the next impulse toward the upper channel boundary becomes the most likely scenario. Only a break below the demand zone would weaken the bullish outlook.

Now we wait for the retest… then let the structure guide the entries. 🤔

⚔️$ETH is currently trading around a major demand zone, which lines up perfectly with the lower bound of the falling channel. This intersection forms a strong confluence area where buyers typically step in to absorb the selling pressure.

🏹As long as #ETH holds above the $2,500–$2,650 zone, we will be looking for long setups, anticipating a big corrective move toward the upper bound of the falling channel. This would align with the natural rhythm of impulse → correction inside a bearish channel.

If the bulls manage to defend this area, the next targets sit around $3,500–$3,650, which represent the next key resistance levels. However, a break below the demand zone would invalidate the bullish correction setup and open the door for further downside.

ETH is now at a decisive point… will the demand zone trigger the next corrective leg upward? 🤔

Bitcoin has been in a steep correction for weeks, sliding inside a clear falling channel. Despite the heavy sell-off, price is now approaching one of the strongest confluence zones on the entire chart, a triple intersection.

This key level combines:
1- The major weekly bullish trendline
2- The horizontal support between $85,000–$90,000
3- And the lower boundary of the falling corrective channel

This kind of alignment doesn’t happen often. It’s the area where long-term bulls typically show up.

As long as BTC holds above $85,000–$90,000, the macro bullish structure remains intact. A strong reaction here could trigger a reversal and kick off the next impulsive wave upward. However, if this triple confluence fails, the market may face a deeper correction before stabilising.

We’re standing at a decisive moment… will this zone ignite the next bullish leg or break down into another wave of fear? 🤔

$FET has completed a clean correction after its previous strong impulse move, retracing all the way back into the support zone around 0.23–0.28, which has been acting as a key demand area for weeks.

Price bounced from that zone and is now attempting to reclaim structure, signaling that buyers might be preparing to take control again.

For now, the market structure is simple:
Impulse upward ➝ Correction ➝ Potential new impulse.

If the bulls manage to hold above the orange zone and break the descending correction trendline, the next impulsive leg toward 0.50 becomes the most likely scenario.

However, if #FET breaks back below 0.23, the bullish setup would fail and deeper downside would be expected.

We are now at the stage where the market decides whether the bulls fully take over… or if this bounce is just a pause before another dip. 🤔

The eternal question in crypto, does Bitcoin lead USDT.D, or does USDT.D dictate Bitcoin’s moves?

At the moment, both charts are approaching critical inflection points.

$BTC is retesting the $90,000 support, while USDT.D is nearing the 6.4% resistance.

As long as #BTC holds above $90K and/or USDT.D remains capped below 6.4%, the bulls can still take over, paving the way for another impulsive rally across the crypto market.

But if these levels break… we may be in for a deeper correction before the next leg up.
