Key numbers, levels, and explicit trade guidance

1) BTC (Bitcoin)

  • Bias (next ~2 days): bullish, as long as it breaks out.
  • Range framework: support/resistance remain relevant until proven otherwise.

Levels

  • Resistance target: 67K
    • Host notes this area is where to look for shorts
  • Support: “trend line” (exact price not provided)
  • Guidance at/around resistance:
    • “If at 67K, don’t over-extend longs”
    • Expects big rejection from that area

Setup trigger/logic

  • A 4-hour candle that “immediately blinks,” especially a “weak/weakless” one → often signals reversal
  • Notes a strong 4H close and a deviation idea implying no retest of the deviation zone

Actions/recommendations

  • Longs: wait for breakout confirmation
  • Shorts: consider shorting around ~67K (or starting there)

2) BTC dominance

  • “Trend is still bullish.”
  • Closest resistance: around ~60% dominance
  • No specific trade execution rules provided beyond monitoring.

3) Solana (SOL)

  • Host claims SOL is stronger than Ethereum recently.
  • Long condition:
    • Wait for breakout from a trend line
    • While SOL is still holding its daily order block
  • Monitoring timeline: breakout could qualify “in the next few hours.”

4) Ethereum (ETH)

  • Host says the ETH setup is simple, referencing a “sniper entry” (exact entry not given).

Take-profit guidance

  • Safer plan: take TP at this high (specific high not provided)
  • Alternative “play it safe” plan: TP for about ~5.5% gain (~1.8R hour) (implied RR framing; exact level not provided)
  • Riskier plan: look for order blocks near TP3/TP2

Altcoins watchlists (structured as longs then shorts)

A) Long watchlist (with setup logic)

1) NEAR

  • Two setups: higher timeframe vs lower timeframe.

Higher timeframe

  • Wait at this support (no number given)

Lower timeframe

  • Look for a 4-hour close above its order block
  • Execution example:
    • After a 4H close above the level, if it occurs around ~2h 40m, look for a retest near the AVG created

2) ARB

  • Lower timeframe still bearish (lower highs).
  • Long framed as a higher timeframe setup:
    • Entry area around 0.75 Fibonacci
    • SR flip (resistance turning into support)
    • References:
      • prior significance “proved on the left”
      • a daily fair value gap (FVG)
      • “Supply zone turned into demand”

Entry method

  • “If you want to set a limit, you can set it starting now” (no exact price given)

3) “resolve” (unclear ticker/name)

  • Described as a riskier but recurring-bounce support.
  • Past bounce: previously produced a ~20% pump
  • Stop-loss guidance: potentially ~3% stop (or “at most” around another location)
  • Target/RR: expects ~20% gains, RR described as favorable

4) LTC

  • Highlights a breakout after consolidation from mid-June
  • Mentions an order block created from beginning of June and repeated rejections
  • Long setup level: around 0.618 (golden ratio) plus an additional 4H / SR flip reference (exact price not given)

5) “endings” (unclear ticker/name)

  • Deviation setup:
    • fake support → breakdown back to original support → then pumping again
  • Host says it broke out of resistance in the 4H period, calling it a “very good” setup

6) “inches” (unclear ticker/name)

  • Lower conviction: described as ~9% of entries
  • Rationale:
    • coin “follows trendline” holding it roughly ~15 days (host inconsistent in phrasing but clarifies ~15 days)
    • “anomalously strong,” around ~4% up on the day

Stop-loss guidance

  • Stop at at least ~4% downside
    • alternatively ~3% if tighter

Action

  • Take long if price goes below a level (exact number not provided)

B) Short watchlist (with setup logic)

1) SNX

  • Expects anomalous behavior: “pump 20%, pump, dump,” supporting a deviation short
  • Setup type: short deviation (fake resistance held)

Key levels

  • Stop-loss: above the daily order block, about ~3%
  • Reward: around ~16%
  • Extended TP: up to ~25%
  • Trigger: “short above” a resistance level (exact price not provided)

2) “Funry” (unclear ticker/name)

  • Very weak: ~5% down on the day
  • Pattern:
    • blow-off top
    • then ~50% dump
    • with a clean bearish trendline (no “shenanigans”)
  • Short logic:
    • shorts likely stopped out by a large pump
    • plan is to wait for liquidity pull-down: “get his long liquidities down here.”

3) “pump” (unclear ticker/name) with token unlock context

  • Host avoided shorting yesterday due to a token unlock, citing “anomalous” movements and risk of ~50% pumping
  • Short condition: higher timeframe resistance / POI (host says low chance POI invalid)

Two short options

  • Option 1: SL ~2.5%–2.8%
  • If stopped: Option 2: take short “here” (exact level not provided)

Framing

  • “Daily basis, hunting for short liquidity.”

4) TAO

  • “True weakness”: ~2% down on the day
  • Setup mechanics:
    • Draw Fibonacci (top to bottom) near 0.75
    • Align a trendline area to match the daily order block area
  • Stop-loss: above local high, about ~2–3%
  • RR: described as good; setup framed as clean

5) Zero (lower timeframe short; low conviction)

  • Short already taken; currently stalling
  • Why risky: in support area
  • Why good: makes clean structures (breakdown → retest → pump → retest)
  • Suggested stop-loss: ~2.5% (plus smaller position sizing)
  • Potential gains: ~10%

6) Mega (lower timeframe short; lower conviction)

  • Compared to Zero:
    • Mega already broke down from higher timeframe support
    • Resistance became support starting June 25th, then breakdown created resistance above
  • Stop-loss: about ~3%
  • Target guidance: about ~2R (6%)
    • or “bet down” for further targets (not specified)

7) AVAX (Avalanche)

  • Higher timeframe resistance-based short idea
  • Host likes the clean structure and notes AVAX dumped even when the broader market wasn’t very weak
  • No explicit entry/stop/TP numbers provided.

Methodology / framework explicitly used (step-like)

  • Range trading framework (BTC and overall):
    • Treat support/resistance as valid even through breakouts/breakdowns until trend proof
  • Candlestick “deviation/blink” reversal heuristic (BTC):
    • If a 4H candle immediately “blinks” (especially “weakless”) → it usually reverses
  • Order block + confirmation approach (multiple coins):
    • Identify daily order block
    • Wait for trendline break and/or 4H close above the order block
    • Then look for a retest of relevant levels (AVG, SR flip, POI)
  • Fibonacci alignment:
    • Use 0.75 Fibonacci for entries (ARB, TAO short)
    • Use 0.618 (golden ratio) for entries (LTC long)
  • Deviation / fakeout setups (multiple coins):
    • Fake support/resistance → breakdown/retreat to original level → pump or rejection
  • Risk management via explicit SL% and RR:
    • Repeatedly uses SL ~2.5%–4%
    • Targets expressed in % gains and RR language (~1.8R, 2R, 16%, 25%, etc.)

Disclosures / disclaimers
