I provide liquidity of digital assets to scared, impatient people. At a later date, I sell the assets back to them at a higher cost.

It's time to post the big-picture look at why this is the bottom & you should be buying bitcoin. It's the same bottom breakdown I analyzed back in Dec '22 & you can see how that played out (see my pinned) Don't screw this cycle up. Buy & walk away for 2 years. Come back happy.

#BTC Update 🚨 Price is in limbo between support & resistance. If you’re not in a position --> wait. A dip into low $80ks or mid $75ks would be a great buy zone. Not guaranteed, but keep cash ready just in case. Things still look GREAT, big-picture. Keep stacking opportunities

Just following up on this to close the thread out. All 10 contracts closed now for a net profit of $620 in just 18 days. My Options posts haven't seemed too popular, so I'll just stick to posting big picture outlooks on BTC. #IBIT #BTC
$IBIT 10 contracts @ 10/16 DTE Thesis: Rej@ 49.5 down into 46–47, while holding firmly above 42 At expiry: @ 49+, I get paid $50 for being wrong @ 47, I collect $2.05k Plan to take profit (approx $1,000+) if it hits 47 early Educational purposes only - Do not blindly copy trade

You can already see how the support level had lots of eager buyers waiting It's normal to feel worried & want to sell when price corrects into support. It's what markets do to people. Having a well-thoughtout plan ahead of time gives you confidence to fight that fear $btc $ibit
Forget that this is IBIT (the BTC ETF) Just focus on how it correlates to the BTC price. I had this region marked as "likely support" for a reason - it was bound to hit this range. BTC looks fine. Volume looks fine. These are the areas you buy - not fear. $BTC #bitcoin

The #1 thing that confirmed I was actually a good trader? Not taking trades I "wanted" to take. Sticking to the structure, rules, and plan set during non-emotional times is what separates gambling from successful trading. Control your execution, control your outcome

Forcing a Trade: ❌ Chase price because of FOMO ❌ Use hope as a strategy ❌ Enter before your rules trigger Accepting a Trade: ✅ Letting the setup come to you ✅ Execute a predetermined plan ✅ Treat losses as a cost of business Discipline rewards you Emotion punishes you

Just as I forsaw. The play takes advantage of a move down, that then rolls around sideways for a bit. Time decay works in my favor. This time next week, it'll (likely) be well into $1k+ profit The Longs provide insurance against an adverse move as the Shorts sit further in profit

And just like that...you can see how the price has already rejected into the area I wanted it to. If/when price remains in this area, into next week, I start seeing very big, unrealized profit. If it takes off to the upside against my will? I still profit $50. Great setup.

Price action is playing out just as foreseen. This is healthy. It's all about support & resistance. That's how the game is played. Don't worry, don't fret. This is normal and was expected.
Bitcoin looks great. However, it is coming up against a significant resistance level here. We may see some selloff in this area. It's going to be a battle. My massive spot will remain untouched - I'll likely close my Call contracts though, since Options are a bit trickier.

To further show the beauty of this setup, you can see how it’s gaining money even though it’s going against my ideal situation. If it is $49 or more (up to infinity), I still make $50 for my time, while ideally it would go back down to around $47 by expiry (10/16) to make $2k.

Here's a visualization of how sexy that trade was as it went in my favor. Markets & trading are truly a gift to those who put the time & effort into learning how the market moves.
BTO 9 IBIT 11/20 42/48 Bull Call Spreads $2.48 Debit Swing trade IBIT (btc ETF) controlling 900 shares ($39k position) for $2,232 cash layout • Max Risk: $2,232 • Mid-Term Exit (~3-4 wks @ $48) ~$1,800 profit (~80% ROI) • Expiration Max Profit ($48+) $3,168 profit (142% ROI)

Sold to Close all 9 of my Calls @ 4.02 for $3,618. $1,386 in profit in less than 4 days. Bitcoin went up approx 11% in that time, but my IBIT (BTC ETF) shares' value went up 61% - that's the power of Options trading. Now I wait & see how the market reacts at this resistance.

Did you load up or stay sidelined (again)?
You've been hearing from me for months that these are the levels to buy in at for long-term, spot holds. Massive divergence on the weekly & below is signaling that these levels won't last much longer. Days, weeks, a month or two? Don't regret not buying another bottom (again)

The market closed favorably for me. Unrealized net +$810 in 24 hours on a $2,232 play. We'll see how the next few weeks play out on this.
Still very early on, but off to a good start.

The setup on Bitcoin is looking ready for a strong upside move. My outlook is that price action hits the 80k range, possibly pushing into the low 90ks, within the next 2 weeks.

For all those on my timeline doubting the Bullish structure/indications at this major support, saying the downside looks imminent - I have no idea what you've been talking about. It's been textbook strong & looks even strong today Volume, RSI bullish div, price action at support
