I’ll be straight with you: when I pulled up the heatmap on 11 November and saw that wall of grey, I didn’t get excited. I got cautious. Bitcoin sits at $1.49T and almost nothing else on the board is moving.

The Read From My Desk

BTC is roughly six times the size of ETH on that board. ETH at $250.91B, BNB at $89.51B, XRP at $67.01B and SOL at $49.52B are all sitting flat.

When everything’s flat, I stop thinking about direction and start thinking about where the stops are. That’s where price goes next.

Where I’m Watching

Back solving from market cap, BTC is around $74K. The levels I care about:

• $70K-$71K: equal lows, where weak longs have their stops

• $78K-$80K: equal highs, where breakout traders pile in

Price loves to sweep one of them before the real move. I’d rather let it run the stops and then trade the reclaim.

If I’m Bullish

I want a wick below $71K and a fast recovery back above $72K. That’s my entry. First target is $78K, and I’m out of the idea on a daily close below $70K. It’s a roughly 1:3 trade, and I’m happy to take it.

If I’m Bearish

If BTC pushes toward $76K-$78K while funding climbs and open interest builds, I’m looking to fade it. Target is $71K first and then $67K-$68K. My stop is a daily close above $80K. It’s a roughly 1:2.5 trade.

The Altcoins

I wouldn’t chase alts here. ETH is only about 16.8% of BTC’s market cap, and until that ratio expands, rallies get sold. HYPE at $18.26B has momentum but is crowded. ZEC is red while XMR is green, so the privacy sector is split, and I’m not touching it until both agree.

One tile on the board looked off to me. MRNA showed a $101.49B market cap inside the DeFi block, which doesn’t fit the token set around it. I’m treating it as a data-labelling quirk and ignoring it.

How I’m Sizing

• Half a percent to one percent risk per idea

• Stops set before I enter

• Partials at the first liquidity pool, then the stop goes to breakeven

• Nothing under 1:2 risk-reward

My Bias

I’m leaning neutral to mildly bullish while BTC holds $70K on a daily close. A sweep of $71K that reclaims quickly is my cue to get long. A close below $70K and I’m flipping the plan.
