Bitcoin exploded 7% through overhead resistance and above the cloud, but I’m not treating one liquidation-driven candle as proof that the bottom is in. Treasury debt buybacks and a historic short squeeze drove the move, so I’m watching the 69,200 resistance cluster and the 72,204 continuation target while allowing for a pullback first.
Ethereum surged 17% with much stronger spot volume, but its breakouts printed on unusually large candles and several Fibonacci levels still sit overhead. I’m tracking Ethereum volume, on-balance volume, stablecoin dominance, and Bitcoin dominance to see whether capital keeps rotating into ETH and the majors or whether this was a one-day liquidity shock.
DXY broke lower while equities lagged the crypto reaction, gold and silver pushed into resistance, and low-cap dominance still showed limited conviction. I need sustained volume, support holds, and follow-through beyond the news catalyst before changing my broader bottom-year thesis or assuming this pump is durable.
