Opened the charts today and everything is red. $BTC down, $ETH down, $BNB down, alts bleeding harder. Nothing feels good when you first look at it.
But honestly, this kind of day was expected.
After weeks of bullish confidence and people getting comfortable with longs, the market needed to cool off. Too much leverage, too many late entries. Red days are how market resets itself.
For me, the only thing that really matters today is BTC.
I am not reaching to every candle. I am watching how BTC behaves around key areas.
As long as BTC stays above the 90K zone, I still see this as a pullback. It can be messy and emotional, but structure is still intact. Fear shows up fast on red days, even when nothing important has broken.
The area between 88K and 90K is where I pay close attention. If price comes into that zone and buyers step in, that tells me this move is more about cleaning leverage than starting a deeper drop. A weak reaction there means patience is needed.
If BTC loses 88K and starts closing below it, then I stop thinking about quick longs. No rushing, no trying to be a hero. That is when the market needs time, not opinions.
When BTC turns red, alts almost always bleed more. That does not mean they are dead. It just means liquidity turns back to BTC and people panic faster. Timing matters more than conviction on days like this.
Today I am not chasing anything. I am watching levels, reactions, and volume. Sometimes the best decision is to do nothing and let the market show its next move.
Red days are uncomfortable on purpose. They test patience and discipline. That is where most mistakes happen.
The market will give another opportunity. It always does.
PS: Always DYOR
