What spot traders should watch today
Scaling in is discipline, not an excuse to buy more as prices keep falling.
Spot trading isn't about gut feeling; it's about today's range.
BTC 74502 (+1.50%), 24h 73209-74780. ETH 2082 (+1.96%), ETH/BTC 0.02794.
ETH at +1.96% is outperforming BTC at +1.50%, with the exchange rate at 0.02794. This looks like risk appetite spilling over—not BTC going it alone.
Limit orders:
- First tranche: 73,608-74,055; buy only one-third
- If 73,161 breaks, stop; don't add a second tranche
- Reassess on the right side if it breaks above 75,098; even then, add only one tranche
For spot, wait only for a pullback to the entry range; don't guess what U.S. stocks will do. Reassess on the right side only if it breaks above 74780; until then, leave the limit orders unchanged.
Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USDⓈ-M / Yahoo daily (5-day change) / altme_fng / mempool_fees / defillama_chains / coingecko_trending. Missing figures are not filled in.

#BTC #Spot
Insight: On FOMC night, market depth tends to pull back first; breakout orders can easily turn into slippage orders.
Idea: ETH weaker than BTC: capital is contracting, so pause altcoin right-side entries first.
