# Bitcoin and Altcoins: What to Do Now?

> Source: [Bitcoin and Altcoins: What to Do Now?](https://youtube.com/watch?v=rkPZZOd2HCM)

## Summary

The video provides a technical analysis of Bitcoin's price action, suggesting that a bottom around $57,000 has been validated. The creator advises on strategic entry points, risk management through progressive leverage, and warns against FOMO-driven decisions, while also touching on other assets like Ethereum and XRP.

### Key Points

- **Market Movement Analysis** [00:04] — The market has seen a strong, bizarre upward movement. The creator had previously emphasized an accumulation pattern, suggesting it wasn't the right time to be out of the market.
- **Recommended BTC Exposure** [00:46] — The creator recommends maintaining a 30-40% exposure to BTC, arguing that the best opportunities arise when the market is fearful and most people are not building positions.
- **Price Exhaustion and Pullback** [01:31] — After two volume peaks on the 4-hour chart, the creator believes the price is showing signs of exhaustion and a pullback or sideways movement is likely.
- **Key Support and Resistance Levels** [02:45] — Two key scenarios for validating the $57,000 bottom: a corrective move to the $60,000 region with a recovery, or a breakout above the $70,000-$71,000 resistance zone.
- **V-Shaped Retracement Risk** [03:40] — The only pattern that could invalidate the bottom at $57,000 is a V-shaped retracement. However, any pullback to the $70,000 region is considered healthy.
- **Warning Against FOMO** [05:47] — The creator warns against FOMO, noting that pullbacks are the best entry opportunities within an uptrend and that the market will always offer setbacks.
- **Progressive Leverage Strategy** [07:09] — The creator describes a strategy of adding to a long position on pullbacks, using stop-losses to secure profits and create a 'free' position, effectively leveraging the trade without risking initial capital.
- **XRP and Other Assets** [09:59] — The creator mentions taking profits on XRP after a strong move and discusses having a position in gold, emphasizing the importance of knowing when to take risks.
- **Current Risk-Reward** [11:53] — The creator believes the current risk-reward is less attractive than at the bottom and advises caution against taking on excessive risk at current levels.
- **Bottom Validation and Outlook** [12:08] — The creator concludes that Bitcoin has likely consolidated its bottom in the $57,000 region, and the market can now structure itself for a potential move into a more aggressive bull market phase.

### Conclusion

The creator believes the market bottom is in and the path forward is likely higher, but advises a disciplined approach to risk management and warns against the dangers of FOMO.

## Transcript

strong movement, and why not say it, a bizarre upward movement, right?  Guys, we had some confluences, we were in some pretty interesting true, right?  For example, in the daily chart, the weekly chart, we've already
been talking about this accumulation pattern, right?  I've been emphasizing this for quite some time now, guys.  It 's not the right time, is it?  Either it wasn't the right time for you to be out of the market, or we were already in the bottom of the market.  What
's the problem?  People either want to lock in the price or they get caught up in that desperate feeling of simply thinking, " No, the market will continue to fall, we'll break through the 57 region, we'll go to 50, to 40," and they simply
freeze in the market, not building up even the minimum exposure.  If you've been following me, you know that, in my opinion, you should have between 30 and 40% exposure to BTC.  Why, guys? Because it is in these movements that we have the
best opportunities.  It's when nobody wants it, when everyone is sure it's going to fall, that's when we have the best pool of positions for the medium and long term.  Obviously, I'm not going to be a hypocrite here and say
I expected a movement of this size, of this magnitude, but that's the thing , those who are in the market, those who already have exposure, end up reaping the benefits of this kind of movement when it happens. I believe we've already reached a point
of price exhaustion, right?  We went really strong, we had two volume peaks here at 4 hours, right?  The first event was the ignition of the movement, and after that we had another volume peak, this time with
price absorption.  So I do believe that we're going to have a movement here to pull back, okay?  It's a movement that can even end up being lateral, it depends a lot on the force of the movement, okay everyone?  So there's no way for us to predict what kind of
strong movement.  We might end up seeing the price move sideways, a kind of flag pattern, a form of reaccumulation, and then yes, a continuation.  We can also make a slightly
right?  We left some inefficiencies behind, especially in this region here , which would be the most corrective movement, even this region of 66, 67, however, we've already stretched it
quite a bit, right?  So, resources of such a large scope, they are not the most likely, OK?  But resources in this personal movement should be interpreted as an opportunity, because we broke through the 70,000-71,000 region.
Again, if you follow the channel, and if you don't, subscribe below and leave a like so YouTube notifies you.  Folks, we had notifies you.  Folks, we had two retests, two validations for this
57,000 fund.  The first one would be exactly the region, folks, of 60,000.  So, a 60,000.  So, a corrective movement down to that region of 60, 6,000,
with price recovery, without invalidating that region, would be an invalidating that region, would be an indication of a bottom at 57. Or a breakout of the 70 region, which was that previous inefficiency, previous highs,
right?  So, this breakout here would also mean that this fund has been validated.  These two movements, right?  One movement is an accumulation, which would be this retest, while the other movement is a true reversal.  OK?  So we had a
reversal.  OK?  So we had a reversal movement, and a very, very folks, actually the only possibility that the bottom of 57 isn't validated at this moment, folks, is a V-shaped retracement. That's the only pattern that could
invalidate it.  Since we haven't yet seen a pullback from this upward movement, folks, it's impossible to be 100% certain.  However, any pullback here that reaches the $70,000 region, even a 10% drop from where we
are, is still an extremely healthy movement; it's still a movement that is validating the bottom of $57. So, Ghost is saying that, in my opinion, we no longer have such a clear possibility of
breaking through $7,000.  In my analysis, in my market thesis, we may even see more sideways movement, okay? This doesn't mean it's the start of that aggressive boom marketing either, okay? There are a lot of people selling this
idea that Bom Market has just begun, and that we'll quickly reach $000.  I do n't believe in that theory.  Ah, but Trump is going to buy Bitcoin.  Ah, why is that?  Because, folks, understand one thing.  When it's in the supermarket food section,
buy it, what's the theory?  It will continue to fall, it will fall even more.  When it's going up, anything will keep going up.  That's how it was, folks, at the last bull market peak, simply not because we have an
because it's going to sell, because of this, because of that, nobody wanted to take profits up here, where the risk-reward ratio was terrible, right?  And we've already seen in
distribution patterns, where we break through the top without continuity, a distribution pattern, a profit-taking pattern .  Here we were in reverse, we were breaking through the bottom without continuity, the accumulation pattern.
After a very sharp drop, this is a buying zone, right?  And people just get caught up in that "food" feeling, do nothing, believe in further price drops, just like they believed in a rise here.  OK?
might immediately experience FOMO and become desperate.  Oh my God, it's never going to get fixed again, is it?  If I don't get in now at 77, 78, 80,000, Bitcoin will skyrocket
to 100 and I'll miss the boat.  Relax, we'll always have setbacks along the way, folks.  And these pullbacks are the best entry opportunities within an uptrend.  Again, it's possible that we'll see
more sideways movement here in BTC, right?  A lateral pullback, more like a flag, a reaccumulation to continue rising, but you need to
However, I don't believe we'll go straight to $000.  My larger timeframes, such as the daily chart, we might start to see more sideways movements, okay?  a new accumulation and a
slightly more gradual increase, something that has already happened, for example, in the last be marketing fund.  We had the validation of the fund here, we had a great boost, right?  Not as strong as that one, it's true, but after that
we had other structures to go on to consolidate the rise, right?  So yes, I believe we've already validated the bottom, unless BTC gives it all back in a V-shape, which isn't the most likely scenario right now, but at this moment
we're already experiencing a very interesting upward momentum.  Entry points or leverage points.  Why do I say leverage?  Because, for example, I have a long position at 66,000,
okay?  Oh, I like it, but now that it's gone up, we just have to watch the other videos, right? Some people seem to watch things on mute here on YouTube, you know?  So follow along, go back to the last videos, the last analysis videos, and you'll
okay?  So I have a position here in the $6,000 region.  What do I want to do now?  Medium to high.  So when the price starts showing pullback movements, during these pullbacks, I will identify good entry triggers
and I will buy more and more.  And whenever the price does that, I'll keep buying more and more.  Why?  Because as the price goes up, I'll be placing stop-loss orders, guys, okay?  Stop
game.  That's the secret to leverage.  So, for example, in my region of 66,000 there's already a stop sign. Here I'll never lose money again. After that, maybe around the 73,000 mark—this is just a random drawing,
what am I going to put here?  Another stop game from this entry here and this entry here.  And so I keep climbing higher and higher in the rankings.  So, at this moment Bitcoin goes up 10. I gain approximately 4%.  Now there will come a
point where Bitcoin will go up five and I will earn 15, because in fact I will be effectively leveraged.  But notice that this is leverage where I already have a stop loss.  My risk is ending up with nothing .  My risk is making too much
money.  I don't have the risk of ruin, like, for example, if you were leveraging every downward movement, right? So the concept is a little different. I don't try to catch the bottom here, I try to leverage
progressively when the movement, when there is a trend, continues. Obviously there are other nuances, right? We can do structured operations, right?  Which would be a DCA within the futures market.  There are other strategies.
There is R, for example, at this moment I have R, right, with Bitcoin on the 15-minute timeframe, okay?  This is a small entry here of R. So I have those who already have a slightly more in-depth knowledge of the
futures market specifically, OK? But look, folks, you need to be in the market to catch this kind of movement, right?  But be careful not to get caught up in FOMO during these movements. So, BTC is waiting for a response.  When that
retreat happens, then you can take new positions.  Etreum, same situation, okay, guys?  Same situation, it's already quite stretched out, I wouldn't go in now, okay? from Ethereo, okay?  That ether movement passed, but I got Bitcoin, I
got XRP, guys.  Our Lady. XRP worked out really, really well, didn't it?  A lot of money was made in that transaction. We're buying XRP again, it's currently at 1.37, it even hit 1.42 here,
hit 1.42 here, guys, okay?  Look at the price explosion!   I'm going to say it for the thousandth time.  Did you believe it?   Did I know we'd have this kind of explosive movement here?  Obviously not.  But let's get back to the XRP analyses I
mentioned, folks.  We had an excellent risk-return ratio.  We were seeing patterns indicating that the selling force was no longer as selling force was no longer as strong as it once was.  So, a
key factor in making things happen, folks, is knowing when to take risks.  Simple as that.  So Ghost is talking like a prophet after it's all over, right?  The engineer from now isn't here.  This analysis is
public on the channel, right? I've also talked a lot about gold here on the channel.  Gold is exactly my second target.  Here's another point where you can take profits.  What is my ultimate goal here?  But here I've already achieved
ultimate goal here?  But here I've already achieved two profit zones, guys, right? Knowing how to take risks in the right way, at the right time, without whining, without fuss, without trying to outsource my responsibility
for my money, without staying here on YouTube spouting a bunch of nonsense, like I see in the comments, for example.  Take responsibility for your own risks, and learn how to manage risk effectively.  And be very careful that
you don't just start getting into shape now, at any time.  We 're already stretched too far, we can stretch it even further, obviously, the market does what it wants, but at this moment it's not so interesting to take on too much risk.
Back then, down here, it was interesting to take risks.  It 's not so interesting anymore.  You see, everything is dynamic, the market creates the dynamism, OK?  So, be very careful, especially not to get caught in FOMO,
okay?  Simply buying it any way you can, in any manner, okay?  But Bitcoin, in my opinion, has consolidated, right, the bottom here in the 57,000 region.
.  Unless Bitcoin pulls a bizarre stunt like reverting to its previous state, right?   We ca n't rule out anything that might happen in the crypto market, but at this moment I believe it will.  We validated the fundraising for the marketing campaign, and at this point,
we can structure it so that, a little further down the line, we can move into a more aggressive bull marketing phase .  And if you enjoyed this video and forget to like and subscribe to the channel.  Thank you so much for watching.
