During earnings season, check guidance before profits

Let’s finish going through the U.S. market numbers before deciding whether crypto will follow.

Numbers first, opinions later.

Crude oil 88.56 (5-day +1.97%, Yahoo)
Nasdaq 25,136 (5-day +2.27%, Yahoo)
Gold 3,886 (5-day -5.55%, Yahoo)

My take: The dollar is relatively strong, up 1.73% over 5 days, while BTC is down 2.23%—the directions are aligned. Don’t talk about a reversal until the dollar turns around.

Crypto comparison: BTC 67278 (24h -2.23%), ETH 1901 (-1.94%). ETH at -1.94% is tracking closely with BTC at -2.23%; the exchange rate is 0.02825. Without an independent move, don’t bet solely on altcoins.

What to watch next: There’s just one thing to watch in crypto: can BTC close above its 24h high of 70214? If it can’t, talk of following the rally is just noise.

My position: I’m not trying to catch the first leg down. Until the drop leads to falling open interest, buying early is just catching a falling knife.

Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USDⓈ-M / Yahoo daily (5-day change) / altme_fng / mempool_fees / defillama_chains / coingecko_trending. Missing numbers are not filled in.
Would you place orders at pullback levels, or wait for the candle to close?

Takeaway: If there’s an outage or block production anomaly, reduce high leverage first, then explain why things are shaking.
Food for thought: The strongest meme pick didn’t outperform BTC by 2%: treat it as volatility, not a sector.

For context: People elsewhere are discussing “bitcoin OR stock market OR US stocks” - Google News. I’m treating it only as background; the conclusion is still based on the numbers in the main text.

Personal opinion; see the sources in the main text for the numbers. This is not a trading instruction.
