AI Analysis
Okay, so this video is all about checking in on where Bitcoin and Ethereum stand as the monthly candle is about to close, which is a pretty big deal. It dives into the current price action, discusses potential moves based on technical charts and liquidity, and touches on bigger economic factors like what the Fed is doing. Plus, you get some insights on a specific altcoin that looks interesting and a peek into the presenter's personal trading strategy and how they handle the ups and downs.
Here's a breakdown of everything covered:
- The crew has been super busy launching their new "air droplet" app, which is an airdrop research dashboard to help people track and farm airdrops. It sounds like they're adding a ton of cool features.
- One new feature they're excited about is an AI-powered YouTube summary tool that can condense videos, like theirs, into executive summaries. They've tweaked the AI prompt heavily to get good accuracy, which is pretty cool if you're short on time but want the alpha.
- The main focus is BTC and ETH getting ready for the monthly close, which is about a week away.
- Last month, the thought was if February closed red, March would likely follow suit. But right now, price action is looking "quite all right."
- Looking at the 4-hour chart for BTC, since that "flush" down to 76K, it's been making higher highs and higher lows. It even "rated" (meaning it broke above) a supply zone.
- If March ends up closing green, even just a little bit, it might signal that 76K was indeed the bottom for now.
- It's stressed that this isn't financial advice and the approach is to just react to the market, not hold a fixed bias, which is mentioned as a past mistake.
- For BTC macro, it's still seen as being inside a big range between 76K and 90K. But the low time frame action near the monthly close is key.
- They marked out a low time frame range with the high at 84907 and the low at 81934. Last week was closely watched because of a "deviation" (a fakeout break) below the range low that could have signaled a reversal down.
- However, the weekend was surprisingly bullish, and BTC is currently holding above the 84920 level, which is the range high. Looking "pretty good."
- The question comes up about whether lows like 60K or pumps to 90K+/100K are more likely.
- A potential scenario for BTC to go lower (maybe even 50K) is mentioned, based on a macro Fibonacci retracement level (the "golden pocket") from the previous all-time high being around 50K. It's important to remember this is just a potential level based on a chart tool, not a prediction, and the bull market is still considered intact as long as BTC stays above 50K. But honestly, nobody wants to hear about 60K, it's "offensive to my bag."
- Using a specific indicator (Lux Algo's side and sell side), they point out "liquidity voids" on the chart. These are areas where price moved very quickly, leaving gaps where trades didn't happen evenly.
- For BTC on a higher time frame, there's a liquidity void between 102K and 104K. This suggests a potential surge to fill that void, but if BTC doesn't hold above 90K after such a surge, it could still fall back down, maybe even towards that 50K level (again, framing this as an extreme possibility).
- For ETH, the liquidity voids are "very strong" on the 4-hour chart at levels like 2526 and 3536. The indicator's creator believes these voids "almost always get filled," implying a likely surge to these levels in the future, but the exact timing is unknown.
- Someone in chat suggested a "mini alt season" in April, which ties into the next point.
- A big macro factor is what Jerome Powell and the Fed said recently. They plan to slow down the "quantitative tightening" (QT), which is when they shrink their balance sheet (essentially removing money from the system), starting next month (April).
- This isn't the same as "quantitative easing" (QE), which is printing money, but slowing down the removal of money is still seen as a positive step ("not the news we want but the news we want to need," like Batman).
- Previous bull runs (2016, 2020 COVID) happened during QE environments (governments printing lots of money). The pump to the recent 109K ATH happened during QT.
- This raises the question (seen in an Instagram reel): Was the recent high even the real bull run peak? Could what's coming in the next year be much bigger, potentially fueled by the shift away from strict QT? The reel even suggested 500K BTC, but Ron's target is a more realistic 200K.
- Preparing for this potential scenario (slowing QT possibly leading to more upside) involves looking at specific altcoins, namely SS.
- SS is an altcoin they hold a large position in, and it "really wants to fucking rip." It's been holding a key level at 50 cents very well, even when BTC and ETH dropped. There are liquidity voids pointing to a potential move towards 61-64 cents soon.
- Why the buzz around SS? Sonic Labs has started marketing campaigns, especially in Asia, paying influencers ("KOLs") to talk about it. Even though it's marketing, the price action on the chart looks genuinely strong.
- The airdrop for SS is coming in June. The expectation (acknowledged as a personal bias/human error) is that there might be another pump for SS before the airdrop launch.
- Back to BTC/ETH: There's "so much confluence" (different technical indicators agreeing) in the current price action, having rated both buy side liquidity and a supply zone. Today and tomorrow are seen as "very key" for BTC's direction this week.
- Staying below 90K for BTC is still considered a period of "uncertainty." But the move from 76K has shown a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, which is positive.
- The monthly open level for BTC is at 84309. Whether BTC closes above this level by the end of the month (7 days left) is a key point to watch, as it could signal potential big gains in April.
- A viewer ("protolist") with experience in previous cycles commented on "time-based capitulation," where people get bored and leave crypto before the next big upward move. This pattern is seen as similar to previous cycles.
- Shifting gears, they talk about their personal trading experience with the "opening range breakout" (ORB) strategy. They've been "forward testing" it (trading it in real-time or on recent data).
- They hit a "losing streak" last week using ORB and got "tilted" (emotionally affected), questioning the strategy. This highlights the psychological challenge of trading.
- To combat this and confirm the strategy's viability, they are backtesting ORB manually, creating a template for data (starting with January 2025, then 2024).
- The goal is to feed this manually verified data and the strategy's rules into an AI or a trading bot to automate it, connecting it to trading platforms like TradingView.
- One specific rule set for ORB being tested is placing a market order immediately on the candle that breaks out of the opening range, with a stop loss at the range low and targeting at least 1R (meaning the profit target is at least the size of the stop loss).
- An observation from testing is that the first breakout from the opening range is often the "true" direction for the day, and any quick reversals are usually just "deviations" (fakeouts) before the original trend continues most of the time (70-80%).
- The win rate for this specific, simple ORB rule set (market order on breakout) in January 2025 data was 43%. Comparing this to Steph Curry's 3-point percentage (also around 43%) helped put it in perspective – it's "actually not bad" for a simple strategy.
- This experience reinforces the importance of journaling your live trades and doing separate backtest journals. This helps you learn from losses, identify the market conditions that caused them, and hopefully avoid them in the future.
- Trading is seen as difficult and overwhelming at first, but ultimately a "skill" like any other.
- A key "aha moment" in trading is realizing you just need to pick an entry model that makes sense, stick to it (maybe even just one trading pair or strategy), and then rigorously learn from the losses within that specific model to refine it. The hard part is figuring out how to anticipate those specific losing scenarios.
- For crypto investors (not traders), if you're constantly worrying and checking your wallet, you might be "overinvested."
- Crypto is a "long game." It's one of the few assets that offers potentially huge returns, but you need a longer time horizon (whether the big peak is 2025, 2028, or 2030). The best approach is often "just keep DCAing" (Dollar Cost Averaging, regularly investing a fixed amount) and have "conviction" in your long-term view.
- Bitcoin is currently midway through its halving cycle. April could potentially be a big month.
