I just added to my position in this asset, making it larger. See the accompanying image for the trade and position details.
$BTW took a heavy hit today, falling nearly 20% in a single day, along with the broader market—most of the 90 major assets were down. This isn’t a problem unique to this asset, but small caps tend to fall faster and harder in conditions like these.
On the chart, the price was pushed straight down to around a key round-number level, and the previous uptrend structure has largely broken down. A short-term oversold bounce could happen at any time, but that would just be a recovery, not a reversal. To see whether it can regain strength, watch two things: first, whether buying volume can push the price back into today’s large bearish candle; second, whether the broader market can stabilize. If the bounce comes on low volume and gets sold as soon as it meets resistance overhead, that would suggest selling pressure hasn’t run its course.
The asset drew investor attention on the strength of its small market cap and its potential to benefit from sector rotation; the underlying narrative isn’t particularly strong. This kind of story works best in a broadly rising market, but when the market weakens, liquidity is usually pulled from it first. Today’s candle suggests investors aren’t buying into that story for now. It’s in a phase where the narrative has lost momentum, waiting to be picked up again.
I added to my position to lower my average cost, but this is a critical level: if the round-number support holds, this could prove to be an undeserved sell-off; if it breaks, there may be another leg down.
