is an emotional part, but essentially(.
My wallet has melted like ice in hot water — it previously held substantial value, and now it’s almost invisible. Where did my money go? The market simply wiped out a large portion of capital through mass liquidations, weak stop-losses, and the lack of support near key levels. This is a shock for anyone with fewer market cycles — but it’s standard behavior for risky assets when speculative positions tighten and push everyone downward at the same time.
1) Should I “buy the dip” or “hold and wait”?
🔍 Current real analysis.
• BTC broke through weak support levels, and the price has not found a stable base above $74,000, confirming a bearish impulse.
• The market is in a depressed mood, with many long positions being liquidated.
• Market estimates predict a high probability of even deeper decline below $65,000 — about 72% odds of such a drop according to Polymarket.
💡 Conclusion: aggressive buying now is not advisable. Trying to “catch the fall” without structural confirmations is very risky. I choose “HOLD and WAIT,” with gradual purchases only after confirmed reversal signals. If I sell now — I’ll lock in losses at the emotional peak, and if I buy everything — the risk of “going even lower” remains very high.
2) Where could be BTC’s bottom signals?
🎯 Brief on levels.
Technical analysis and forecasts show:
• The psychological and technical $70,000 level is still important but not guaranteed to hold;
• If this zone is broken, the market could move lower — around $60,000–$62,000 )technical targets according to Brave New Coin analysts(;
• More radical scenarios, including deeper moves down to $55,000 or below, are also mentioned by analysts).
📌 My opinion: I don’t believe the bottom is already at $70,000. After support breaks and capitulation, the most realistic lower targets are further below this mark, at least temporarily (in the short-term trend).
3( Macroeconomic and market drivers.
Main external factors currently affecting BTC:
• Strong pressure on risk assets overall — tech stocks are also falling, increasing correlation.
• Uncertainty around Fed policies and monetary conditions, fueling fear in risk markets.
• Massive ETF outflows from Bitcoin funds, signaling capital exit.
• Geopolitics and investor risk appetite remain weak — much capital is seeking safe havens )like gold, low-risk indices, etc.).
These factors add additional pressure on BTC, intensifying the trend toward testing lower regions.
4( Dark horses: are there assets that hold up better?
📌 Currently, there is no broad consensus on altcoins that strongly resist BTC’s decline. In the overall correlated fall, the biggest projects also fall, while stronger/non-standard ones tend to show relative strength rather than absolute growth )meaning they fall less).
In the trends tracked by market participants, more attention is drawn to:
•Assets with real use cases and on-chain metrics showing more stable transaction profiles (less activity outflow) — but this is still relative strength, not absolute growth during BTC’s fall.
5( Trading ideas )are specific, well-founded).
✅ Strategy 1 — Hold and wait.
When: while BTC is significantly below the last local high and below key supports.
How:
• No aggressive entries;
• Partial DCA (averaging down) on confirmed trend reversal signals;
• Clear stop-losses below local minima;
Why: pressure remains strong, and the market has not yet confirmed a bottom.
✅ Strategy 2 — Gradual accumulation after confirmation.
Entry signals:
• Clear rebound with high volume;
• Renewed buyer interest at important levels;
• Strengthening sentiment and positive macro data.
How: at levels above local maxima before reversal, with strict risk management.
Why: phased entries reduce the risk of entering at the exact bottom.
❌ Strategy 3 — Aggressive one-time purchase with all capital.
Not recommended.
Reasons:
• Unconfirmed reversal;
• Volatility still high;
• Risk of significant further decline.
Even large players are not entering aggressively now — they accumulate cautiously.
🔚 Summary — why I choose this approach:
• The market has not given clear reversal signals — it’s still under upward selling pressure and capitulation.
• Support levels are broken, and many analysts see potential for further decline below $70,000, possibly down to $60,000 or lower.
• Macro and ETF data reinforce pessimism and reduce participants’ risk appetite.
• Therefore, I alternate between “I hold and observe” and “gradual accumulation after confirmations,” rather than aggressive entry now.
📌 The main message of this week: discipline, not fear — builds long-term profits. Volatility may continue, but those who enter structurally have the best chances to weather the storm.
