The bounce from $74k (with a possible brief wick down to $70k) will be bigger than the bounce we saw from $80k.
$74k is probably the most key level of this bitcoin cycle.
Drop below it and admit we are in a bear market.
Stay above it and hope will remain (and reignites) that the bull run is still on (I’m not a believer of this, however).
I think we’ll see a relief rally after $70k- $74k is tagged. Maybe a nice one. Maybe up to the 200 week MA if we’re lucky. $100k would be nice.
Holding $74k is the last chance the bulls have, as to drop below it is to break the higher-low structure and admit a bear market.
I expect very high trading volume on that $70k-$74k low, followed by a big relief rally.
Pivotal level.
But ultimately, I think greater odds are we see a lower high and the continuation of a bear market after that. But we should definitely enjoy the bounce in the meantime! It may offer a last chance for profit-taking before dropping below $70k (imo).
If I’m wrong and we’re not in a bear market I’ll admit it! Let’s give it a few months to play out though. $DUSK #dusk @Dusk_Foundation
Exited longs for now. Looked all good Yesterday until we received this weekend drop.
Although we likely close CME gap close to 84k, IMO, not worth holding this long through as weekends are unpredictable when they trend like this. Every drop lower sets the weekend low lower and weekend lows here have a high chance of being taken out next week.
Puts the long and also the bias at risk so getting out here is key to limit losses.
As much as it was my job to show you where and how to exit on the 8 wins we had recently on the backbone of the bullish bias throughout this range, now it's also equally much my job to show you how to do it when losses occur, as well as openly admit when my idea is wrong.
Even if it's less pleasurable, I'll be the first to tell you when that happens too.
So as promised, exiting the long here and taking a few steps back on leverage, not thinking about any trade soon.
Yes, range low sweep is possible, and yes, we could absolutely reverse all of it.
But we are in an illiquid weekend environment during a monthly close and with uncertainty of macro news (whether it will happen or not is unclear).
Going to sit aside here, just stay in spot and let the market give some serious confirmation first before g oing long again.$WAL #walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc

PLASMA: REVOLUTIONIZING DECENTRALIZED FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE WITH EXECUTION-FIRST STABILITY
{future}(XPLUSDT) As decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to expand, the pressure on blockchain networks grows exponentially. Many networks boast high throughput in theory, yet crumble under real-world usage. Delays, unpredictable fees, and failed transactions are common when multiple DeFi protocols interact simultaneously. Plasma tackles this problem head-on, combining an execution-first architecture with congestion-free settlements to provide a robust, reliable foundation for DeFi ecosystems. This approach ensures that financial applications function predictably, securely, and efficiently, even under extreme demand. The Challenge of Real-World DeFi Traditional blockchains often struggle to support multiple DeFi protocols at scale. Applications like decentralized lending, yield farming, liquidity pools, and derivatives trading require instantaneous execution and predictable transaction costs. On many networks, simultaneous heavy usage leads to congestion, elevated gas fees, and failed transactions. This not only frustrates users but also discourages developers from building or scaling applications. DeFi’s promise of decentralized, transparent finance fails when networks cannot handle the complexity of multiple active protocols. Plasma recognizes that DeFi is only as reliable as the underlying infrastructure and designs its network to remove these bottlenecks. Plasma’s Execution-First Advantage Plasma’s execution-first design separates execution from settlement. Transactions are processed instantly at the execution layer, allowing applications to respond immediately. Settlement happens securely in the background, ensuring network integrity without slowing user-facing interactions. This architecture provides multiple benefits: Instant responsiveness: DeFi applications, like lending platforms or automated market makers, can execute trades or adjust positions in real time.Predictable fees: Users know costs upfront, avoiding unexpected spikes during high activity.Congestion-free operation: Multiple protocols can run simultaneously without slowing the network. $XPL powers every transaction and interaction, ensuring that network activity directly aligns with token utility, creating a sustainable ecosystem where usage drives real value. Cross-Protocol Compatibility A unique feature of Plasma is its ability to support interactions across multiple DeFi protocols without performance degradation. Users can move assets between protocols, swap tokens, or participate in lending markets without waiting for network confirmations. Developers benefit from predictable execution, enabling complex financial products to be deployed safely. Plasma’s architecture ensures that transactions dependent on other protocols or data feeds execute seamlessly, creating an interconnected DeFi environment. By supporting cross-protocol interaction, Plasma reduces friction and increases adoption potential. Security and Risk Mitigation DeFi applications are vulnerable to risks like flash loan attacks, oracle manipulation, and network congestion. Plasma mitigates these risks through: Execution-first processing: Reduces latency and prevents bottlenecks that attackers often exploit.Secure background settlement: Ensures that finality is reached without compromising execution speed.Verified oracle integration: Provides reliable external data for DeFi operations. These mechanisms allow DeFi developers to focus on innovation rather than dealing with unpredictable network issues. Developer Empowerment and Ecosystem Growth Plasma empowers developers with tools to: Monitor transactions in real timeOptimize gas usageDeploy multi-protocol applications confidentlyBuild sustainable, scalable financial products XPL incentivizes both developers and users to participate actively, reinforcing a positive feedback loop: more usage strengthens network utility, which attracts more developers and users.
Long-Term Impact By solving the fundamental challenges of DeFi infrastructure, Plasma positions itself as a backbone for next-generation financial applications. Its execution-first, congestion-free approach ensures that: DeFi applications remain predictable and reliable under real-world loadToken utility aligns directly with network activityDevelopers and users gain confidence in long-term adoption Plasma is not chasing hype cycles or benchmarks; it is building the infrastructure that DeFi needs to thrive sustainably. Every interaction on Plasma, powered by XPL, contributes to a network that grows stronger as it is used. @Plasma #Plasma #plasma $XPL
