The market is now eyeing Nvidia—not to chase a single upside candle in US stocks, but to find the answer to whether “risk appetite” still dares to keep rising. After last night’s earnings report came out, tech stocks took the lead, and $BTC also followed as correlations were lifted again. Spot is now at 79,993; the 24-hour high is 80,848. It’s basically one step away from the 80,000 whole-number level, but whether that step can hold depends on whether what you’re taking is the spot or the futures contract.
I haven’t chased it higher. I’ve placed an order at 79,450 to try to get in; my stop loss is 78,680, and my target is first to look near the previous high. The logic is simple: in this upswing, over the last 24 hours, $BTC 24 spot trading volume was 1.367 billion, while contract trading volume was 13.816 billion. The contract-to-spot ratio is 10.1x, which indicates that chasing higher prices is mainly being driven by leverage—not by some clean, spot-buy-dominant order flow. The funding rate of +0.0084% isn’t exactly running a fever, but it does show that longs are willing to pay to hold positions.
This kind of linkage pulled in from US stock earnings is most vulnerable not when the news lands, but when price spikes first and the order flow can’t keep up. Especially since yesterday the price was already up 2.04% over 24 hours, and the high-low range expanded from 78,388 to 80,848—there’s been a sizeable swing. If short-term longs can’t keep absorbing sell walls above 80,000 with sustained bids, a pullback will come quickly.
My approach isn’t to chase it above 80,000. I’m waiting for it to come back to a better risk-reward spot before entering. If 78,680 breaks, I won’t hold through it—I’ll exit directly. Nvidia can lift tech sentiment, but when that sentiment transmits into the crypto market, there’s a layer of high leverage in between. That layer is the least stable. $BTC #BTC
If you’re down, don’t cue me. If you’re up, buy me a coffee.
