About this listen
Yo, what’s up everyone, Crypto Willy here, and let’s talk smart crypto investing for this past week in Bitcoin, altcoins, and trading strategies.
On the Bitcoin side, the big story is consolidation at high levels. According to U.Today, Bitcoin’s been chopping in a tight range around the 88k zone, with clear intraday support near 87,791 dollars and resistance around 88,522 dollars, and very low volume. That kind of sideways action after a huge run is classic “decision zone” behavior, where neither bulls nor bears want to commit heavy ammo yet. Changelly’s analytics desk still has a mildly bullish bias for December with their short‑term forecast pointing just slightly higher, but nothing like a blow‑off top. Over at ForecastEx, prediction traders are heavily pricing in “no” on Bitcoin being above 145k by year‑end, which tells you the market isn’t expecting a vertical melt‑up, more like a grind and possible mean reversion.
PlanB on YouTube has been reminding everyone that we’re now below his 100k stock‑to‑flow “fair value” band, and the RSI sitting in the mid‑50s suggests we’re neither overheated nor in capitulation territory. In practical terms for you and me, that means this is a trader’s market, not a gambler’s casino. Smart money is watching the 90k zone like a hawk: a clean breakout with volume could reopen the door to trend continuation, while repeated failures there could give swing traders a high‑probability short setup back into the mid‑80s or the 200‑day moving average that Changelly tracks on the daily chart.
Altcoin land this week has basically been a high‑beta echo of Bitcoin. When king BTC goes sideways at high altitude, a lot of majors like Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche tend to drift, and only the narrative‑driven names pop. On‑chain analysts on X like Willy Woo and CryptoQuant’s team have been flagging rotation into “quality risk” rather than meme‑heavy degen plays. That means more flow into large‑cap smart contract platforms, liquid staking tokens, and real‑yield DeFi protocols, and less love for thin‑liquidity microcaps. If you’re building a smart altcoin portfolio here, think strong daily volume, real users, and clear token economics instead of lottery tickets.
So how do you trade this week’s setup intelligently? First, position sizing: with Bitcoin glued under 90k and volatility compressed, this is a perfect time to run smaller leverage or even zero leverage and focus on spot and short‑dated ranges. A lot of pro traders are basically playing ping‑pong: buying near that 87–88k support, selling or shorting resistance near 88.5–90k, and keeping tight stops. Second, use Bitcoin’s range as your macro filter. If BTC is in the middle of the channel with no clear direction, you scale back aggressive trend‑following on altcoins and lean more on mean‑reversion: buy red days on fundamentally strong coins, sell green spikes into local resistance.
Lastly, risk management is the meta‑alpha. Tools like on‑chain realized price levels, the 50‑ and 200‑day moving averages that Changelly charts, and funding rates on major perpetuals give you a live read on where leverage is hiding. This week, low volume plus tight ranges is your signal to protect capital, stack dry powder, and let impatient traders overtrade themselves out of the game.
