As the possibility of a bull market looms, most of us are currently immersed in trading. Even though most traders are down 80% of their money, some have lost everything. However, as a trader, we must be open to both bullish and bearish outcomes. Using $BTC as a guide (as it follows the lead of alts) has become important. Although the current BTC price is trending down, BTC dominance is looking up. However, here is the BTC breakdown: After several days of brutal moves, BTC has fallen from ~$112K to $110K, leading alts to a panicked sell-off. Retailers have sold off in fear — but smart money has quietly bought the dip, backing BTC up to ~$115K.

# Bullish continuation:
BTC has defended the $110K–$112K support range and quickly reversed. Although BTC is currently at $113,000+, it could be the start of a push towards ATH, which could fuel an altcoin rally. However, the opposite could also happen. One thing to keep in mind is that nothing is certain in this market. Anything can happen overnight. However, Bitcoin price is currently holding strong support, confidence is returning, and discount entries remain.
# Bearish Trap Setup:
Many retail traders missed the dip and are now buying late in excitement. This is also a big blunder or trap. Because market makers play mind games on small traders like us. Market makers can use this FOMO to start another sharp drop — waving a weak hand before actually moving forward.
# Smart Playbook:
1. Wait for another dip after liquidity grabs — let the hype buyers get in again.
2. Or wait for breakout confirmation above key resistance (~$115K–$116K) and buy the retest.
Patience beats hype. Structure over emotion.
