We are sitting at January 28th, exactly 3 days before the Monthly Candle close. If you have been trading crypto for more than a year, you know exactly what happens next.
The "Whales" (smart money) love to manipulate prices right before the month ends to liquidate over-leveraged long positions. I am seeing a pattern on the charts today that we haven't seen since late 2025, and I need to warn my followers.
Here is my game plan for the next 72 hours. 👇
1. Bitcoin is at a Decision Point
Everyone is watching the resistance, but I am watching the volume.
The volume on $BTC

BTC is dropping while the price is hovering. This is usually a "bearish divergence" in the short terms.
My Move: I am setting low buy orders. If we get a "scam wick" down to liquidate the late longs, I will be filling my bags there. Do not FOMO into green candles today. Let the market come to you.
2. Why I am Aggressively Watching Solana
While Bitcoin decides its direction, the real opportunity for February 2026 seems to be in the Layer 1 giants.

has shown incredible strength against the rest of the market this week.
The Setup: If Bitcoin dips, Altcoins will bleed. But Solana usually recovers fastest. I am looking to add to my spot position if we see a 5-8% pullback. This is my "high conviction" play for Q1.
3. The "Hidden" AI Play
The AI narrative is heating up again for February. I am keeping my eye on $FET

Institutional money is flowing back into AI infrastructure. This is not financial advice, but I believe the "AI Supercycle" is far from over.
Summary: How to Survive the Next 3 Days
Stop Loss: Tighten them. Volatility will hit around Jan 30/31.
Leverage: Reduce it. This is spot accumulation time, not 50x gambling time.
Patience: The real trend will reveal itself on February 1st.
I am preparing my portfolio for a massive February. Are you bullish or bearish for next month?
