Bitcoin touches $70,000 before fading as altcoins lead the strongest bounce in weeks Ether, solana, and cardano all outpaced bitcoin on the day, suggesting a rotation into higher-beta tokens as forced selling from the February crash begins to clear. https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/02/26/bitcoin-touches-usd70k-before-fading-as-altcoins-lead-the-strongest-bounce-in-weeks
I’ve redrawn the broken bear pennant using the latest swing low, and the structure now looks much cleaner than the previous failed setup.
Technically, the measured move from this pennant points toward the $40K area — something to keep in mind. That said, I see this scenario as low probability considering the higher-timeframe support zones, key moving averages, volume profile, liquidation heatmaps, and an already overheated RSI.
My base case is a move toward the April 2025 low first. The most bullish outcome would be a strong reclaim before February closes.
The “Japanese fish-eating” approach in crypto trading is a strategy built on selective opportunity and technical analysis. Instead of trying to catch the exact bottom or sell at the absolute top — which is extremely difficult and risky — the trader focuses only on the “best meat” of the fish: the middle part of a clearly established trend.
To apply this method, traders rely on technical tools such as trendlines, moving averages (MA), RSI, MACD, and key support–resistance zones to confirm trend direction.
For example, when a reversal candle signals a shift from bearish to bullish momentum — supported by other indicators — the trader waits for a few more candles to confirm the trend. Once the bottom is clearly formed, a long position is opened. Later, when a reversal from bullish to bearish appears and the top is reasonably confirmed, the position is closed.
The goal is to capture the clean middle portion of the move, while avoiding the “head and tail” — the top and bottom — which are the hardest and riskiest parts to trade.
By combining multiple technical tools, traders can improve probability, reduce false signals, and maintain a more disciplined, sustainable trading strategy.
