Encryption | STAR Radar | August 8
🎯 Day 18, and the radar only shows one light.
To be honest, when I saw this score I laughed—25 points, not even half of the passing line. But interestingly, it’s already touching the BSB bottom-touching window. With just one more straw, it can flip.
Let’s break it down:
📌 The bottom-catching is actually working—the taker_ratio has jumped to 0.99. In history, such extreme values often mean smart money is quietly accumulating. In my 2022 bear-market bottom round, it was this kind of signal that made me dare to go in heavy.
📌 But the 7-day open interest volume is down 14.5%. The bulls are admitting defeat—there’s no fresh money coming in to pick up the bag.
📌 Volume is shrinking down to the floor. A ratio of 0.042—it's quieter than even a market on an off day.
📌 The price hasn’t stopped falling yet; the three-day new lows are still being refreshed.
My take: don’t catch the falling knife here. The BSB bottom forecast still has around ~18% upside from the reference price, and the days_to_avg indicates it still needs about 6 more days to grind it out.
$BTC is hovering near the lower end of the range, $ETH is just lying low with it, but $SOL is showing a bit of movement instead. The broader market isn’t cooperating—it's hard for any single coin to reverse and bottom out against the trend.
Batching discipline: I only go all-in when all four conditions are met at the same time (price stabilizes + volume expands + bottom-catching + OI reversal). Otherwise, I’ll risk at most 10% to test the waters. Do you think this is the spot to go all-in, or should we keep waiting? Comment below 👇
