Crypto behavior around all-time highs has totally changed since 2017.
Back then? Buying new highs was almost a guaranteed win. By 2021, that same playbook started getting me wrecked.
Now markets love to fake you out — they'll consolidate near old highs, pop briefly, then reverse hard. It's like they're designed to trap breakout buyers.
I've had to rewire how I trade. These days I'm obsessed with failed breakouts and how price acts when it retests key levels. That's where the real signal is.
Also keeping one eye on equities. NASDAQ and S&P 500 looking shaky.
If stocks pull back even 10% (totally normal correction), crypto could get hit way harder. Just being real about the risk here.
