Market Update: Current Strategy & What to Watch Next
Many community members have been asking why recent trade updates focus more on limit orders rather than constant CMP entries, and why the main active position remains a BTC short. Here’s a clear breakdown of the current market view and strategy.
1️⃣ Market Structure: We Are in a Bear Phase
The broader market has been in a bearish structure for months. In this environment, opportunities are limited and patience matters more than activity. Overtrading during a bear market often leads to unnecessary losses.
This does not mean staying inactive — it means being selective.
Short exposure has been maintained for an extended period, while waiting for higher-probability setups. The main focus during bear phases is capital preservation and preparing for future accumulation opportunities.
2️⃣ Downside Progression: Closer to the End Than the Start
Bear markets are usually recognized by the majority only after most of the downside has already occurred. This cycle is no different.
The deeper bearish phase began earlier, around the 99k level, and price action since then has confirmed a broader distribution and correction phase.
Key levels currently being monitored:
• 99k – A reclaim would open the door for additional short-side opportunities • 72k – Major support zone where spot accumulation becomes attractive
A strong reaction at 72k could signal a local bottom. If that level fails, price may enter a prolonged accumulation range between 50k–72k before the next major bullish cycle develops.
3️⃣ Altcoins: Caution Still Required
Altcoins remain structurally weak. While some may appear “cheap,” history shows that prices can still decline another 20–30% before forming a true bottom.
Until clear market strength returns: • Avoid aggressive entries • Reduce position size if buying • Do not chase price without confirmation
Final Thoughts
The priority in current conditions is simple: Protect liquidity. Stay patient. Wait for high-confidence setups.
Opportunities will come — they always do — but only for those who remain disciplined and solvent.
Updates and actionable setups will be shared when market conditions genuinely improve.
Wishing the community a safe and calm end to the year. 🎄
