$BTC
Got it! If BTC’s 4-hour chart is showing a classic distribution pattern with sliding behavior, that usually points to weakening demand and potential upcoming selling pressure. Let’s break it down clearly:
1. What Distribution Looks Like
In Wyckoff terms, distribution happens when smart money or whales sell into strength rather than accumulation.
Key traits on 4H:
Lower highs forming (sliding pattern)
Decreasing volume on upswings, rising volume on minor dips
Often a “stair-step” downward movement—price slides instead of dropping sharply at first
2. Why Sliding Happens
Instead of a sudden dump, the market shows gradual loss of momentum.
Smart money is absorbing buyers slowly, creating small, lower highs, which leads retail traders to believe the trend is still bullish—until it breaks down.
3. Confirmation Signals
Watch for break of support levels on 4H (or key 1H zones) with increased volume.
MACD or RSI divergence: RSI failing to make new highs while price does indicates weakening buying pressure.
Volume spikes on down moves—classic sign that distribution is turning into a markdown phase.
4. Potential Targets
Short-term, the first support zones could be prior consolidation lows.
If the sliding pattern continues, BTC could head towards previous 4H swing lows or the next key accumulation zone.
If you want, I can draw a schematic of the 4H sliding distribution pattern for BTC and highlight possible support levels for the next move—it’ll make it easier to visualize. Do you want me to do that?
