Focused on the math, not the hype. I specialize in identifying key support and resistance levels to navigate market volatility. Trading with disciplined minds
The surface looks calm, but on-chain data reveals a shift. Long-term holders (LTHs) have significantly dialed back their spending after the volatility of H2 2025. This lack of "smart money" movement creates a zone of uncertainty—veterans aren't selling, but they aren't pushing us higher either.
In my morning analysis, I am tracking the following critical levels to determine our next major move:
Technical Levels to Watch:
Current Pivot ($92,373): We are currently battling the intraday high of $92,413. A sustained hourly close above this level is the first step toward reclaiming bullish momentum.
Critical Resistance ($94,000 - $94,766): This is the "heavy supply" zone. We’ve seen multiple rejections here throughout January. Only a daily close above $94,766 opens the path toward the psychological $100k milestone.
Key Support ($91,150): Our immediate safety net. If we lose this level, the $90,900 daily low will likely be retested, with the major $89,000 psychological support below that.
Summary: Expect volatility. The indecision from long-term holders is "dangerous fuel" for liquidations. If the bulls can't flip $92.4k into support today, the bears may attempt to drag us toward $89k before the week is out.
Stay disciplined. Trade the levels, not the narrative.
Volatility indices ($DVOL$) have crashed to multi-month lows, but don’t let the "calm" fool you. With the US CPI data dropping today and ongoing geopolitical shifts, we are seeing a massive "volatility squeeze."
🟠 Bitcoin ($BTC )
Traders are selling volatility, betting on a range-bound market despite the $681M outflow from ETFs last week.
Resistance: $93,997 - $94,250 (The "Must-Break" zone).
Trend: Consolidating. Whales have added 56k BTC since December, but the "Trump-Fed" spat is keeping buyers cautious.
🔵 Ethereum ($ETH )
ETH's risk gap vs. BTC has shrunk to 2025 lows. Fast unwinding of hedges suggests the "tail risk" is easing.
Resistance: $3,180 - $3,200.
Support: $3,085 (Trendline) / $3,050.
Watch: The Jan 15th Bitmine meeting regarding ETH treasury buys—this could be a narrative shifter.
⚠️ What to Add to Your Watchlist Today:
US CPI (1:30 PM UTC): Expected at 2.7%. A "hawkish surprise" could finally break this low-volatility range to the downside.
Fed Independence: Reports of a probe into Chair Powell are boosting Gold to record highs; keep an eye on if that "Safe Haven" bid finally rotates into BTC.
Oil/Geopolitics: US actions in Venezuela have stabilized, but the "geopolitical premium" is still active in traditional markets.
Summary: The market is "shorting volatility." I am watching for a fake-out move around the CPI release. Stay disciplined.
