A few days ago, the market looked pretty uncomfortable.
BTC was down around the mid-$70Ks and there was plenty of uncertainty around macro conditions and the crypto regulatory situation.
Now we're looking at Bitcoin above $80K again. That's a serious change in sentiment in a very short period. But personally, I don't think the interesting part is simply seeing the number $80K on the screen.
The important question is what happens after the breakout.
Can BTC hold above $80K?
Does trading volume remain strong?
Do $ETH, $SOL, $BNB and other major alts continue moving with it?
And perhaps most importantly, does the market consolidate instead of immediately giving the move back?
Bitcoin's move above $80K was accompanied by significant crypto liquidations, which shows just how quickly leverage can amplify a move.
That's why I'm being careful with the current excitement. A big green candle can attract a lot of attention, but the follow-through usually tells us more.
For me, the next few days are about watching price structure rather than trying to predict the exact next target.
If BTC can establish a new range above $80K, I'll be paying much more attention to whether money starts rotating into altcoins. That's where things could get interesting.
For now, my watchlist is:
$BNB
Let's see whether this is the beginning of another leg higher or simply another fast move that needs to cool down.
