@WATER_XBT I use multiple exchanges, best to have many on/off ramps and spread risk

@rossg618 You use Kraken?

Have sold 25% of my $XRP spot holdings. Looking at the chart it doesn't take a genius to see why.. 🐋🩸 Up approx 467% from my buys in 2022. The chances of a pull back here are extremely high, however I am still expecting some further upside overall in the next few weeks.

As $XRP rises here is my final exit plan. Lots of narratives to make people keep buying and hodling - XRP ETFs bringing in billions, law suit ending, minimum $10+ herd consensus... After we have already risen 850%+ so far from the 2022 lows.. If you are not taking profits after such a move you are either: a) Deluded b) Have a micro bag

Sold another 10% of my $XRP 🫡 Up 970% + Take profits while the market gives them to you. 45% of my position remaining.

Have sold another 10% of my $XRP Up 900%. Amazing to see price just above ATH. Congrats to everyone who held through the years - pay yourself 🥂 55% of my bag remaining. Final exit plan: x.com/rossg618/statu… Will be selling aggressively as we rise to my target.

Took a nice break from X the past couple of months. Since the beginning of 2025, X has mainly been noise with people constantly flipping their thesis based on which way the market was moving. Sometimes its good to switch off and avoid the distractions. Too much noise will make you doubt yourself. $BTC is now in extreme premium and really doesn't matter if it pushes a bit higher. If you still hold any, you should really consider closing out of your spot position almost completely. The main focus is now again on alts and taking profits. Stick to your plan and don't get greedy.

Markets (stock indexes and crypto) are all at critical areas - make or break time. It is clear $BTC whales are in distribution atm, but could see something like this in play before 💡 s out. Deviation of range lows which flushed longs and then flushed late shorts. To then go on and do the same at the top of the range - flush early shorts, create a bull trap convincing everyone bull market is back on, flushing late longs and then going into a full blown sell programme. Many areas to reclaim before this thesis is even valid. If price rejects, low 70s it is.. Although price action is looking very bearish right now, whales are all about manipulating retail investors so imo it's very possible and would create a huge trap.

@TiagoCa09447766 Think price may go higher than your SL. Would be trailing SL then aggressively upon entry if I were. Think looking for a pullback then long at 88 possibly

@rossg618 would you take this trade?

“Considering $BTC lost support at $88k, the next logical area would be low 70s. Having said that.. all eyes are now on that area and many will wait for said area before buying BTC and alts. Would not be surprised to see whales front running it, leaving many left in the dust after capitulating. Especially since USDT.D has taken key liquidity.” And there you go. The break of support at 88K was clear manipulation by whales, to induce fear, increase late shorts and front run people waiting for the 72k region. The news just happened “at the right time”… Whales knew.

@TiagoCa09447766 The way to do it 🤝🏼

@rossg618 Ready for both sides, if the market decide to go higher now, will be time to sell more ♟️💰 Looks strong 🔥

@TylerWTCGWorld Definitely possible, maybe even slightly lower to bring max FUD before a reversal comes

@rossg618 You think btc will still drop to the low 70s?

Total market overview - Despite the big liquidation events, Total Market Cap chart still looks very promising for another impulse to the upside. The reversal area will predominately depend on $BTC PA and where it finds a local bottom. Considering $BTC lost support at $88k, the next logical area would be low 70s. Having said that.. all eyes are now on that area and many will wait for said area before buying BTC and alts. Would not be surprised to see whales front running it, leaving many left in the dust after capitulating. Especially since USDT.D has taken key liquidity. Looking at 0.786 and 0.618 levels for our reversal area.

@TorayKortan Completely right on Trump, much like Elon last cycle 👁️ but now they are working together

- ETFs - Halving - Trump (pro-crypto president) - “strong fundamentals” - rate cuts - Strategy buying billions of $’s worth - Banks predicting $1M BTC - whatever other nonsense Yet here we are. What does this tell you? A collective effort of narratives was created to make you buy. Trump literally marked the pico top from inauguration. Trump has done everything directly inverse to what he was alleging he would do for cryptos benefit. Now everyone’s in and narratives have dried up, fear is being generated, because the desired and borderline guaranteed/promised outcome hasn’t happened. They wanted you in, and have collectively allocated huge resources to ensure this. Soon, they will want you out. Who do you think is buying the coins off you when you decide to follow the same herd of narratives intending for you to sell in fear? Capitulation is retail. So again, who’s buying with enough volume to turn these moments into reversals and pumps? Trump is not your friend. The governments are not your friend. The bankers are not your friend. The institutional players are not your friend. You are placing faith and trust, in the very same distrustful entities crypto was originally created to bypass? Whilst praising their involvement and following it blindly? Cmon man

Bought some $TSLA here

Sold remaining $MMM position - up +80% 🥂 Lots of opportunities in stocks and even more so in crypto right now

Sentiment check; what is next for $BTC ?

@TheAghaSays @UnkownWisdomer @Moneytaur_ Yeah agree 100%

@rossg618 @UnkownWisdomer @Moneytaur_ Understood, ill take Dec Highs or March highs on these Alts. Lets see what we get - the selling today has been far too controlled to me.....feels sus.

The silver lining of massive crashes? The relief bounces, or dead cat bounces, can be very powerful. Time it right, and you’ll make money. Yes, you have to time the market. Still think you don’t? - Just take a look at the results of everyone who doesn’t even try.

@TheAghaSays @UnkownWisdomer @Moneytaur_ Like total2 nearly hit its previous ATH, however many alts only retraced so far. So even if hitting 1.618 on T2, not all alts will reach ATH is what I meant really

Yeah I get you, I think most would likely break above their previous high this cycle if T2 target hits, just from his posts he has pointed to narrative driven runs that have sucked a lot of liquidity and will likely again. 2.5tn on T2 will be diluted across so much more coins, compared to if we had the same amount of coins in previous cycle is what I gather from his posts

@TheAghaSays @UnkownWisdomer @Moneytaur_ I think so even if it’s BCS, most alts will still only bounce due to the amount of coins and narratives sucking the majority of that liquidity

@UnkownWisdomer @Moneytaur_ Good question, I thought hitting the refined usdt.d level puts it back on the table 🤷

@OccultLiquidity should check out USDT.D on cointrader pro website. Only wicked to 4.66% not 4.95% and you do not get the above issues. Interesting. I usually use trading view but also cointrader pro as can have more data

Algorithm Ramblings 💭 Just some quick thoughts on why USDT.D and major LIQ charts have different data calculations for different timeframes (talking about why wicks differ from daily to hourly TFs). I am aware of the conventional explanation of it, but I would like to propose another viewpoint. Studying MT we see how the market is run by algos, which is why our strategy works. However, if you think a bit deeper, the algos are programmed to run buy/sell programmes (across all time frames) based on when USDT.D hits liquidity levels (& other LIQ charts like TOTALs). USTD.D is the dominance of tether in the market, being dollars/stablecoins available to trade aka liquidity. • Algos track high-timeframe liquidity pools on USDT.D in real-time. • They detect where large concentrations of buy and sell orders exist. • These levels become pre-programmed trigger points for market-wide price reversals (all time frames) So algos are programmed to react when USDT.D reaches pre-defined liquidity levels, they do NOT wait for confirmation—USDT.D itself is the signal. When a high TV coin reverses in no mans land, the reason 90% of the time can be found from the liquidity charts like USDT.D hitting a level (doesn't have to be a HTF key level works on all TFs). Most should know this by now. But, what interests me, is which timeframe are the algos programmed to target to execute their buy/sell programme on - do they target the daily wick, or the hourly wicks? I believe that the difference in price action on the USDT.D chart and other charts is to throw traders off the scent from understanding the power of these charts. For example, a trader marks out a 20H BB with fibs, waiting for it to it hit, but it does not hit on 20H TF and the price moves in their direction. However, when you check the daily TF, you see the wick mitigated the level and produced a reaction. Why does this happen? Confusion and secrecy, to throw people off the scent. (my theory) TLDR Make it a habit to check the 1D high or low (wick) when you have levels marked out <1D TF. If the daily wick has mitigated the block, but on hourly this level is fresh, the liquidity could be taken and you can enter. 🎁 TIP: create a trend line template on TV labeled "1D" to quickly add these daily wicks in near your level, because they wont last as the price info changes within 24Hs, changing the daily wicks. Just some thoughts, and would love to hear what others think. x.com/OccultLiquidit…
