BTC sets the day’s bias; watch yields and USD tone

BTC remains the liquidity anchor. On friendly policy chatter and steady equities, dips are defended; on hawkish hints or risk-off jolts, BTC can sweep both sides before picking a direction.

• Bull path: Break → retest hold → trend extension toward prior swing highs.
• Bear path: Failure at resistance → lower-high roll → target liquidity pools below.
• Correlate with US indices and XAU/USD.

ETH tracks BTC but adds breadth from DeFi & stablecoins

ETH often shows accumulation on dips when risk tone is constructive. Clean longs tend to come after reclaim-and-retest moves rather than chasing initial spikes.

• Watch gas/stablecoin activity as a breadth signal.
• Stronger if BTC is stable and indices are firm.
• Invalidation: last higher-low breach on 15m/1h closes.

SOL is the risk-on accelerator — manage size

Solana typically outpaces BTC/ETH on percentage moves both directions. It’s the first to rip in euphoria and the first to dump in fear — size smaller and demand confirmation.

• Look for structure: reclaim → retest → continuation.
• Failed breakouts get punished fast — avoid averaging.

Rotation favors liquidity — trade leaders, not laggards

When risk appetite is healthy, liquidity rotates from BTC → ETH → high-beta L1s/L2s. On choppy days, stick to majors and top-liquidity alts only.

• L2 / DeFi: follows ETH breadth; entries post-retest.
• AI/GameFi: momentum pockets — scalp only with tight risk.
• Low-liquidity alts: avoid during policy/pressers.

Break • Retest • Continue — or fail and flip

Let the impulse close, define invalidation at the retest, and scale out at logical liquidity pools. On event candles, start with half-size and only add after confirmation.

• TP1/TP2/Runner logic: bank partials, keep risk asymmetric.
• No averaging into losers — especially on SOL/alt rips.
• Cross-check tone with US indices and XAU/USD.

• Is the market risk-on or risk-off? Follow BTC + equities. If indices are steady and USD is soft, crypto breadth improves.
• Cleanest coin to trend? BTC for structure; ETH for breadth; SOL for momentum (with smaller size).
• When to avoid entries? London→NY handover and immediately into policy headlines; wait for the retest.
