good morning!! gonna be another quick one from me bc stream day today but honestly i was not expecting to cook as hard as I did this session tried to point out the value of paying attention to ltf moves on the S&P yesterday and I hope some of you listened bc you legit could've caught most of btc's moves last night just paying attention to how the S&P was moving also jfc insane nyo rotation, feels like its been a while since we've gotten this much strength off the open - black monday week amiright lmfao glhf today <3

yoyoyoooo haven't been trading a bunch so not a ton to say ltf, instead let's go over a bit of MTF/HTF bitcoin:native looking for the next bottom to position myself for a Q4 swing, from an EMA and SR level perspective here are your best options: 1: most optimistic option is that we have already bottomed locally, hit the bottom of our current range confluent with the 83.5k SR level. decent amount of liquidations last night but not significant enough to give me very high confidence that we have scared people enough before going higher. took a stab at this last night off the momentum loss pattern that formed after the drop, longed on 4 accounts and closed out 3 of them on the rotation from the 2sd to the dvwap. let the swing run in the hopes of getting a larger rotation but unfortunately woke up stopped on that move since we made a lower low this morning - sucks but we live to fight another day. potentially need to go a bit lower and sweep the previous weekly lows before we get a proper bounce but that's not far enough from the last low for me to make a separate plan for it. 2: been talking about this in my @TheParagonGrp group outlooks for a few weeks now but I really like the bottom of the daily trend (dark blue lines) for my next swing long. showed good respect for it already and the simple way I tend to think of price action is in terms of pattern recognition so if it has happened once, it can happen again. there is also a bunch of confluence right into that same level, whether it be the 30d rolling vwap or the 1sd of the yearly vwap which is slightly lower. most likely get at the very least a good mechanical reaction there due to the amount of confluence stacked into those levels so definitely a spot I'll be looking to trigger but will require some discretion to figure out whether or not it will end up being THE local bottom. 3: highest EV trigger is most likely going to be a retest of the weekly trend (red lines). multiple underside retest during the downtrend have proven that BTC is clearly respecting this trend but we have yet to retest it since our breakout in mid-August. depending on how long it takes for us to retest it it's entirely possible that it continues to crab up and ends up being confluent with a move reaccepting into the last comp we formed prior to our most recent impulse and potentially confluent with the avwap marked from the last cycle high (light blue line). if we get a retest of the weekly I will probably max shove into it looking to hold that position for the foreseeable future. little wordy but hopefully this gives you an idea of how I'm looking to position myself for the next move, I know I could potentially be looking to position myself for shorts between these levels too but I am making a conscious effort to focus solely on the long side because I want to rewire my brain a bit towards focusing on optimism and catching the upside volatility rather than spending the extra effort to play both sides hope no one was too leveraged prior to the flush last night, personally believe that we are quite early in the cycle so there's no point blowing up now when there is still a lot of opportunity right around the corner stay safe and keep thinking long term, it'll serve you well
