The news that Strategy’s BTC holdings have passed breakeven—and even Standard Chartered admitting that $100K this year may be overly optimistic—sounds great, but underneath, it’s a liquidity trap. MM is using this “good” news to lure retail traders into FOMO-buying near the short-term top, while smart money quietly distributes the rest of its holdings before the real rally begins.
A bit old news for those of you who’ve been trading since 2024, right? Remember January, when Spot ETFs were approved? The biggest piece of good news at the time: the price shot up from $42K to $49K, then dumped straight down to $38K in less than two weeks. That was a brutal lesson: macro news is usually already priced in before it’s announced, and the real rally often comes after retail gets discouraged and gives up. Or remember March 2024, when BTC broke its ATH at $73K? Funding rates surged, everyone was euphoric, and then MM hit the market with an 18% correction in one week, wiping out all that leveraged exposure. History doesn’t repeat itself exactly, but it does rhyme—and this pattern isn’t far off.
BTC is currently above the $77K area, with heavy selling pressure weighing on it. Don’t get greedy and buy right now, or you’ll get caught holding the bag. Wait for a natural pullback to a strong support zone. I see the $68K–$70K area as where smart money often reaccumulates after shakeouts. Placing a Limit Buy there is much safer than chasing the price.
Practical plan: Stay calm. Wait for the price to reach $70K, then enter a Long. Set a hard stop-loss if a 4H candle closes below $67K—because if this support fails, the short-term trend structure will be completely broken. If you prefer certainty, just sit back and watch this scenario unfold; don’t rush into a shark tank full of hungry predators.
