I'm sitting long at $ETH from 3112, stop is at 3095, the market is choppy sideways, I was already preparing for another "it shot and flew without me"… And then in one candle: 3135 → 3150, both take profits trigger, the position closes completely ✅
Why did it shoot like that? My guess: classic short squeeze. Above 3120–3130 there were a bunch of shorts and stops, plus a thin order book — when the price was pushed through with market buys, shorts' stops/liquidations began to trigger, resulting in even more buying and an almost vertical candle 🚀
I followed the plan: entry, stop, two take profits — without greed, took my profit and now I'm out of position, waiting for a new setup. This is a reminder that even such a "random" shot is better caught with a plan and risk management, not emotions 😉
$BTC is approaching an important zone of 90.5–91k, but has not yet entered the 'comfort' zone – I still use it as a compass, not for entry 🧭
$ETH has already returned above 3 120–3 130 $ and looks the strongest among my watchlist 💎
$SOL is still just trying to bounce off the bottom near 133–134 $, but is still weaker, I will not rush here ⚠️
I am still in cash: watching to see if BTC can hold above, and ETH can maintain 3 120+ — then I will think about cautious longs. Not financial advice, just my plan 😉
The market has bounced a bit, but nothing critical has changed for me 😅 $BTC is still below the comfortable zone of 90.5–91k, so I have no positions, sitting in cash 💵
What I am watching next:
$ETH – either a normal rebound from 3080–3050 $, or a calm return above 3120–3150 $ 📈
$SOL – either accumulating liquidity around 132–130 $, or a breakout and consolidation above 136–138 $ ⚡
Until that happens – I'm just watching, I don't see the point in catching the knife 😉 #crypto #ETH #SOL #
It seems I was right not to panic and run long on Bitcoin 😅
Earlier, I wrote that as long as $BTC is below $91,000, for me, this is just a bounce after the dump, not a new uptrend. And the first bounce after such a dump often turns out to be a fakeout.
So what happened:
Bitcoin made a beautiful jump up, taking emotional longs 💸
But it couldn't hold above $91k – and we got a new wave of decline ⬇️
Those who jumped into the market without confirmation are now either in the red or sitting in a drawdown.
I remained in cash and used $BTC only as a compass for the market 🧭 The plan worked: instead of giving the market a deposit, I simply watched how the fakeout scenario played out.
What's next for BTC:
As long as we are below $91k, the market remains a zone of increased risk for me.
Key support is now around $89–88k – below this could trigger another level of panic.
For normal, calm longs, I am still waiting for a confirmation above $90.5–91k on the 1-hour chart, and only then will I look towards altcoins.
The conclusion is simple: ✅ It’s better to have a plan and sit in cash than to chase every green candle and catch knives. Not financial advice, but my personal approach to surviving in this circus 😄🎪
As long as Bitcoin is struggling below 91k, I'm not chasing every candle — better to conserve energy for a good setup 💪 Not financial advice, but my working checkpoint for the market.
$BTC now holds around $91,000, and its movement sets the direction for altcoins. Key resistance at $BTC — the zone of $91,700–$91,800. As long as it hasn't been surpassed, the market remains in a range.

🔼 If BTC breaks upwards
Conditions:
Consolidation above $BTC at $91,300, Then a confident breakout and holding above $91,700.
👉 In this scenario, I consider longs on altcoins, primarily on $SOL.
Plan for $SOL:
Conservative entry:
Entering long after consolidation above $138
Targets: $145–$150
Stop: $134–$135
More aggressive entry:
Buying the zone of $130–$132, if BTC holds above $90,700
Stop: below $127
The zone of $125–$127 remains key for accumulation in case of a deeper pullback.
---
🔽 If BTC breaks support
A break below $90,700 opens the path to $90,000–$89,500,
Then a possible retest of $88,000–$88,500.
👉 In this case, I won't take longs on SOL, waiting for BTC to stabilize, and only then I look at the zones of $125–$127 on SOL as an opportunity for a longer-term entry.
---
I don't enter longs on altcoins blindly. First, I watch BTC's reaction at key levels, then I work according to the plan for $SOL.
I want to consult with you. On another exchange, I sometimes enter into more risky trades — testing ideas, sometimes I 'draw', sometimes I make mistakes. It's part of the process.
But I want to keep my account on Binance as clean as possible: only structured entries, clear plan, discipline, and risk management.
And now a question for the community:
🗳️ Poll:
What to do next? 1️⃣ Publish here only 'perfect' trades according to the strategy 2️⃣ Add risky entries as well, so the real trading without filters is visible 3️⃣ Mix both formats, but with labels 'risky' / 'clean entry'
While staying out of the market — I don't enter long at $SOL . The market is sluggish, $SOL is holding in the range of $130–$138, volumes are low, there is no clear direction.
🔼 Main plan (long on $SOL )
I am waiting for a breakout and a close above $138
After confirmation, I will consider entering long
Targets: $145–$150
Stop: $134–$135
🔽 Alternative point for entry
If the price $SOL drops below $130
I am watching the zone $125–$127 as a potential level for entering long with a better average
For now — no position, I stick to the plan and do not force entries. We control risks. Wishing everyone profit.
$BTC is once again undergoing correction after a local peak near $91,760. The price has now dropped below the short MA on the 15-minute chart, and the market is shedding some of the overheating. The interesting zone for me is $88–87k — there was previous demand there, and new support may be formed.
Action plan: carefully monitor the reaction of $BTC in this zone. If I see signs of a halt in the decline and a return of buyers, I will consider a gradual entry into long positions in altcoins, primarily $BNB and $SOL . However, I want to enter only after Bitcoin stabilizes, not in the middle of a red candle.
In any case, the key is not to chase the movement but to wait for your level and confirmation from the market. Futures and altcoins with high volatility require strict risk management.
This is not financial advice. Everyone is responsible for their own decisions and risks.
Opened a long position on the pair $BNBUSDT with a leverage of 20x. Currently, the position shows about +57% unrealized PnL — not a bad start for my move to Binance futures.
Why I chose precisely $BNB : • it is the native token of the exchange with good liquidity; • sufficient volatility to catch strong moves;
I opened the trade after a local pullback and support formation — the idea was to enter in the direction of the main trend, rather than jumping in at the peak of the candle. Next, I plan to test different setups on $BNB and other coins, sharing real trades, risks, and conclusions.
Futures with high leverage carry increased risk, so I always monitor three things: adequate stop-loss, position size, and maximum acceptable loss per trade.
This is not financial advice. Everyone is responsible for their decisions and trades only with the funds they are willing to lose.
