BTC/USD - Technical Snapshot

The Bitcoin chart is still painting a topping formation to me. What's interesting is the breathing room this creates for altcoins—and that's exactly what we're witnessing now. The alt market's been making some seriously strong runs lately, which typically happens when BTC consolidates or shows signs of weakness at resistance levels. It's a classic risk rotation: when the big one cools off, capital flows down the stack. Worth keeping an eye on whether this momentum sustains or if we see a reversal back to BTC dominance.

The top pattern of Bitcoin is becoming more and more obvious, but the real excitement is in the current performance of altcoins.

BTC top is indeed a bit soft, but this wave of altcoins surging is really fierce... Funds are flowing downwards at a lightning speed.

The Bitcoin top pattern is obvious, but this wave of altcoin rotation is really intense... If the funds flow back into BTC, it will have to reshuffle again.

This wave of BTC's top pattern seems to be suppressing for a while, just the right time for altcoin frenzy.

Oh man, big brother, I can see the top pattern here. BTC is repeatedly testing the gravity resistance level, and the RSI momentum is clearly weakening. This is what I call the critical period of the launch window—once the king of coins loses its thrust, the funds start dispersing into lower tracks. Currently, the altcoins are indeed accelerating through breakthroughs. The question is, how high can this wave of altcoins' fuel burn? Without a stop-loss level, I wouldn't dare to hold a heavy position, afraid it will get smashed back at the end.
