Most people think trends are about direction.☂️
They’re actually about how price reacts inside the range.
On the left → same structure failing:
• rallies stall
• highs get sold
• range resolves lower
That’s a downtrend.
On the right → same structure behaving differently:
• pullbacks hold
• ranges resolve higher
• dips get absorbed
That’s an uptrend.
Same market behaviour.
Different outcome.
The shift doesn’t happen at the breakout -
it starts when pullbacks stop doing damage.
Spot that change early and you’re no longer chasing moves, you’re positioning before they expand.
Simple idea. Hard to

GM and Happy New Year 🎉
$BTC Heatmap update
New year and still in the same range.
Price is still rotating around the ~87–89k area, holding close to VWAP while liquidity remains stacked above and below.
Bets still remain for upside
Let’s see what the year open brings 👀

Challenge update 🌂
Fund up ~5% today after the expected $XPL pullback.
Still positioned and letting $SOL play out.
Excited to complete this early 26 👀

GM and happy New Year’s Eve ☀️
$BTC Heatmap update
Price is still inside the range around the high-80s, still consolidating rather than expanding.
Liquidity remains stacked above into ~91k and ~95k, and the longer we hold here the more that imbalance matters.
Potentially could see a large move up or down with Yearly open so close, my bets are for upside.
Bring on the new year 👀

$ADA 🌂
MTFs look great here. Clean impulse, correction done, range formed.
At range lows now with a clear invalidation below and upside toward the inefficient wick.
Clean and simple setup imo.

GM and happy Tuesday ☀️
$BTC Heatmap update
CT’s leaning bullish again, but price itself hasn’t committed yet, still firmly inside the range trading around the ~87k area.
Liquidity remains clearly stacked higher at ~91k and ~95k, but so far price hasn’t made a serious attempt to work into those levels.
That doesn’t invalidate the broader idea - it just means the market hasn't been ready to move yet.
These kinds of pauses are often where expectations build ahead of a shift, especially going into a new year.
Who's ready for year open?👀

Gm and happy Monday! ☀️
$BTC Heatmap update
Price has worked its way back toward VWAP after the weekend range. That’s really the only thing worth noting so far.
CT feels split right now - half expecting a New Year rip, half convinced nothing happens until everyone’s bored again. Price kind of reflects that.
This phase is more about positioning quietly while attention ramps up.
Let the noise do its thing.

$ASTER 🌂
Structure here is starting to firm up. The move has taken longer than expected, but price is now sitting at a point where risk feels defined.
The broader correction looks complete, with a clear WXY-style structure and proportions that line up well.
The internal swings are tidy and momentum loss on the sell side is noticeable.
From here, this is the type of area where continuation attempts make sense.
Any long would be invalidated below the origin of the move, with upside interest back toward prior range highs.

GM and happy Sunday! ☀️
$BTC Heatmap update
Not much urgency from either side right now.
Liquidity is still sitting there, but price isn’t in a rush to reach it. That usually tells you participation is light and the market is waiting for a reason, not a level.
These are the days that feel boring - and then make sense in hindsight.🚀

Gm and happy Saturday! ☀️
$BTC Heatmap update
Market is doing what weekends usually do best.
Range is tightening, reactions are shallow, and liquidity continues to stack rather than get resolved.
That kind of behaviour isn’t random - it’s preparation.
Whether that resolves higher or lower, the next meaningful move will come from intension, not prediction.
For now: observe, mark levels, let price show its hand.

Gm and happy Boxing Day 🎄🥊
$BTC Heatmap update
Price has moved back up into VWAP again, bringing us right into value after another clean rotation.
Liquidity below continues to get defended, while upside is still capped by overhead resting orders.
This keeps BTC in balance for now, expect more two-way trade untill year open🚀

$XPL Chart update🌂
We see it has broken out of the descending channel and is holding above prior structure.
That’s a clear change in behaviour after a prolonged correction.
The path drawn is a possible continuation if acceptance holds.
Let price confirm.

$LINK Chart update 🌂
Price has broken out of the descending channel and is now trading above prior structure.
This is a noticeable change following the extended correction.
The path drawn is a possible continuation if price can hold above this area.
If it does, upside rotations make sense.
If not, the breakout fails.

Gm and Happy Christmas to everyone! 🎄❄️
Hope you’re all having a great day, for those still keeping half an eye on the charts;
Here’s your quick $BTC heatmap update
As expected, price is trading quietly around value, with downside getting met by bids and upside still capped by overhead liquidity.
Conditions remain balanced.
As long as this range holds, the focus stays on patience and good positioning heading into the New Year.
Enjoy the day everyone 🤝

$LINK 🌂
These current lows honestly feel like bait. I’m waiting for a sweep at $11.62 , then looking to position long on a reclaim.
Super simple chart - lows are just screaming to be taken.

$SOL Update 🌂
SOL swept the lower end of the range, since then, price has been working its way back into value.
- If acceptance continues above to the ~122–124 area.
- That slow grind higher after a sweep is constructive behaviour.
As long as price holds this area, upper range liquidity around ~128–130 remains the natural area of interest.
LTF invalidation lies at - $116.

GM and happy Christmas Eve! 🎄
$BTC Heatmap Update
Price remains in balance, with sell-side pressure continuing to get absorbed on dips.
So far, downside attempts haven’t gained traction, keeping price compressed rather than trending.
Liquidity is still layered overhead, with VWAP the key level to reclaim.
For now, patience and location remain the edge - but the market feels like it’s coiling for a potential New Year move 🚀
