After multiple requests from some followers, I’ve decided to open something private.
What I share publicly is only a fraction of the full picture. The market is a game of liquidity, timing, and understanding. Most people always arrive… too late.
Today, I’m officially opening The Alpha Board, a private group built for those who want to see the move before it happens, not after.
Inside, you’ll get: • Advanced market analysis ($BTC , Stocks, macro) • Key liquidity zones & forward scenarios • Smart money flow breakdowns • Clear market structure insights • Direct access + a serious community
This is NOT a signals group. This is where you build a real edge. If you’re tired of: - following the crowd - entering too late - not understanding why the market moves
Then this is exactly for you. Founder one-time access: $39 Limited spots available

The market doesn’t reward the fastest. It rewards the most prepared.
Here's a rough visualization of how I see the most likely scenarios playing out. If you average them, you'll get a feel for the broad concept I have. I can absolutely be wrong, but it's my take on things currently.
Note that I give the diagonal (dotted) trend lines some importance in controlling the price movements as well as the horizontal support levels.
This falls in alignment with my other post on the odds I give these Bitcoin scenarios.
As long as $BTC holds above $82.6K, there is room for a recovery. Losing this level increases the probability of a retest of $74.2K, below which short-term holders would, on average, move from unrealized profits into unrealized losses.
These levels are dynamic and help identify potential support, resistance, and capitulation zones.
Crypto Social platforms credits a short squeeze for $BTC 's run from 81K to 84K. Spot CVD says Bitfinex and Binance buyers drove it.
A squeeze lifts price for a few candles. Spot buying carried this one.
- Bitfinex Spot CVD led the bounce and set new highs (right chart) - Binance Spot CVD climbed with price into 84K (right chart) - Coinbase Spot CVD barely moved, so the bid came from offshore (right chart) - Spot CVD outpaced Perp CVD all the way up (left chart) - At 84K, spot is selling again: Binance -1.9M, Coinbase -1M, while OKX Perp buys +10M (left chart)
Perps buying while spot sells at resistance is weak. Hold 83K with stable spot CVD and the move stays healthy. Lose it and 81K is back in play.
The picture for $BTC is becoming increasingly clear. While the price attempts to hold its ground, liquidity pools on the downside have grown significantly.
The market will not ignore such substantial liquidity for long.
There is a significant accumulation of liquidity, particularly around the $80,000, $78,000, and $76,000 levels.
$BTC JUST SWEPT THE $81K BAND. NOW IT'S BACK AT $84K.
1-day liquidation heatmap. Price dumped through the mid range, ran the bright pocket around $81,500 – $81,800, tagged a low near $80,800, and is now pushing back into the heat at $83,800 – $84,200.
The thickest band is still overhead. A solid yellow cluster sits near $85,500 – $85,800. Below, the next pocket is around $79,800.
Two fascinating signals that have historically helped identify Bitcoin bottoms are telling a VERY different story this time!
1- Global M2 Money Supply (YoY): In previous cycles, negative annual M2 growth coincided with major Bitcoin bottoms. But this time, BTC has corrected and partially recovered, while Global M2 growth remains positive.
2- S&P 500 (4-Year Return): Historically, when the S&P 500's four-year return fell below 30%, it coincided with major Bitcoin bottoms. But this time, that signal hasn't appeared either.
Two historical macro indicators. Two missing bottom signals.
Is Bitcoin entering a completely different market cycle, or is the real bottom still ahead?
• BTC tagged the 50-day MA as support, again. It hadn't done so since August. This shows losing momentum.
• BTC dropped below $82.8k (the May high), reclaimed it and then dropped below it *again*. Two losses of this key level. Another signal of losing momentum.
• BTC formed a Double Top (end of Sept. and beginning of Oct.) and confirmed this pattern by breaking down. Bearish as well.
It looks like BTC is hunting out its next higher low.

Why could “no rate hike” be the worst news for bonds this month?
Everyone is waiting for this week’s U.S. inflation report. But the bigger story may not be the number itself. It’s how the Fed responds in October. Market expectations for September inflation: ↑ Headline CPI: 0.6% MoM, 3.6% YoY ↑ Core CPI: 0.2% MoM, with risks tilted to the upside 0.2% looks reassuring. But the distribution of forecasts suggests that, if there’s a surprise, it’s more likely to be to the upside. Meanwhile: ↓ Comments from Williams and Vice Chair Jefferson have nearly priced an October hike out of the market. ↑ University of Michigan data show long-term household inflation expectations remain well above the Fed’s 2% target. This isn’t runaway inflation. But inflation expectations are becoming more entrenched. Why does this matter? 1- Once expectations become entrenched, easing policy becomes more costly. 2- Long-dated bonds may interpret the Fed’s patience as a sign of excessive leniency, demanding higher yields. 3- We saw this in July: the Fed moved in one direction while financial conditions moved in the opposite direction. What about the rest of the market? Gold $XAUT & silver $XAG : Holding rates steady while inflation expectations remain elevated can lower real yields, typically a supportive environment for precious metals. Oil $CL : Less sensitive to the Fed and more driven by supply and demand. A weaker dollar could provide additional support. The dollar: If markets interpret patience as dovishness, the dollar could come under pressure, potentially benefiting emerging-market currencies. ₿ Bitcoin: Highly sensitive to liquidity. It could benefit from a patient Fed, but face pressure if long-term yields surge. The bottom line: Patience could be good news for real assets and bad news for bonds at the same time. But caution matters: one month of data cannot determine the inflation trend. The real question isn’t whether the Fed hikes in October. It’s whether the 30-year Treasury market accepts its decision. If core inflation comes in at 0.2% or lower, holding rates steady may pass without much disruption. If inflation surprises to the upside, the market could do the tightening itself, through higher yields at the long end of the curve.
Un Ledger peut passer tous les tests d'authenticité… et envoyer tes 24 mots à un inconnu par réseau
Pour moi, c'est terminé. Je raccroche les hardware wallets. Et ça me fait mal de l'écrire. Pendant des années, c'était LE conseil. "Not your keys, not your $BTC ." Achète un Ledger, range ta seed, dors tranquille. Je l'ai répété moi-même. Ce qu'on a trouvé dans des Nano X vendus neufs, sous blister intact : 1- Une deuxième carte cachée derrière l'écran, à la place du coussinet 2- Une batterie remplacée par une plus petite pour faire de la place 2- Une puce, une antenne, une eSIM et un modem 4G L'implant ne touche pas la puce sécurisée. Il lit l'écran au moment où ta phrase de récupération s'affiche, puis il l'envoie. Le "Genuine Check" reste au vert. Ledger a confirmé un implant dans l'appareil d'une victime. Plus de 70 millions de dollars auraient été vidés chez des clients d'un revendeur officiel en Asie du Sud-Est. 🚨 Et ça ne resterait pas en Asie. Un acheteur affirme avoir trouvé des câbles en trop dans un Ledger acheté en magasin, chez un revendeur officiel européen. Selon Mark Karpelès (ex-patron de Mt. Gox), l'antenne porterait une étiquette "version eurasienne". Il pourrait donc y en avoir d'autres en circulation. Et le plus beau : la réponse officielle. Leurs systèmes ne sont pas compromis et il faut acheter chez le fabricant ou chez un revendeur agréé. Et devinez quoi ? Le revendeur était agréé. Rien ne prouve que tous les Ledger soient piégés. Mais c'est justement le problème : tu ne peux plus le prouver toi-même. Tout le trajet entre l'usine et ton salon est une boîte noire. Le hardware wallet n'avait qu'une seule promesse : ne faire confiance à personne. Aujourd'hui, il faut faire confiance à l'usine, au transporteur, au revendeur, au magasin… et à un tournevis. e pense que cette industrie n'a plus d'avenir. Pas parce que la puce est mauvaise. Parce que la confiance ne se répare pas avec un firmware. #LedgerConfirmsUnauthorizedHardwareImplantInUserDevice #LedgerPausesCryptoBilisSales
$BTC JUST CLIMBED BACK INTO THE $84K HEAT. $87K IS STILL LOADED.
1-week liquidation heatmap. Price dumped through the mid range, tagged the low near $80,500, and is now pushing back into the bright band around $83,800 – $84,200. The thickest heat on the map is still overhead. A solid yellow band sits near $86,800 – $87,500. Below, the next pocket is around $81,500.
Bitcoin is not in an uptrend. It is still in an accumulation phase.
On-chain momentum remains weak despite the recent price recovery. This suggests we should expect a more monotonous, slow-moving market, with plenty of unmet expectations along the way.
In other words, according to what the on-chain data is telling us, Bitcoin may need more time before a sustainable bullish trend can emerge.
Ethereum ($ETH ) is showing clear signs of weakening positioning among major market participants.
Both the 30-day and 180-day Open Interest Deltas are negative, alongside the Whale vs. Retail Delta.
This suggests that large players have significantly reduced their Long exposure while increasingly positioning on the Short side over time.
However, total Open Interest remains elevated at approximately 10.58 million ETH, indicating that substantial leveraged exposure is still present in the market.
This leaves Ethereum vulnerable to another wave of forced liquidations.
