I’m becoming less convinced that $BTC needs to make new lows. Here’s what I’m watching: Market structure BTC has reclaimed a previous swing high, which changes the bearish structure I was watching on the higher timeframe. Cycle comparison The current consolidation and breakout structure has similarities with previous cycles. That doesn’t guarantee the same outcome, but the comparison is worth watching. Timing We’re now roughly 360 days from the previous ATH. The timing is another piece of context, although it shouldn’t be used on its own to predict a market bottom. For me, the important question now isn’t “how low can BTC go?” It’s whether the market can continue building higher highs and higher lows after this structural shift. The chart will give us more information than any prediction. What are you watching next: structure, liquidity, or macro?
From crypto to US stocks: why shouldn’t we compare “volume” directly? When you look at crypto, US equities, and Hong Kong stocks, you’ll notice that many market indicators have the same names. Volume is a good example. But the same indicator doesn’t always mean the same thing across different markets. Market structure, trading hours, liquidity, and how transactions are recorded can all change how we should interpret it. So when you see a volume spike, the better question may not be: “Is the volume high?” It may be: “What does this volume actually represent in this market?” That distinction matters more than the number itself. How do you compare volume across different markets?
