Today will likely get very volatile in both directions.

Without any clear read/edge I would be careful with your stops as it would not surprise me to see some wicks here and there.

Focus on what you expect for Q1 and not the next day.

If this market goes easy mode, there's no need to risk it all on a single low timeframe trade. Plenty of opportunities.

The TOTAL Altcoin Market Cap is on the verge of breaking to new all-time highs, a milestone that typically signals the beginning of a highly bullish phase. Historically, altcoin market rallies gain significant momentum once previous highs are surpassed, leading to rapid price appreciation across the board.

This potential breakout could mark the start of “alt season,” where capital rotation from Bitcoin into altcoins drives significant outperformance in smaller-cap assets. If confirmed, it’s likely we’ll see increased retail and institutional interest fueling this momentum.

Funding rates are mostly flat but showing signs of heating up slightly as we approach the inauguration. This suggests some longs are beginning to enter the market, though nothing major has developed yet.

Keep in mind, when Bitcoin enters full-blown price discovery mode, funding rates often remain overheated for extended periods, sometimes weeks.

During such phases, over-focusing on funding rates can be misleading, as they don’t cool off quickly in strong uptrends. It’s better to focus on the broader market structure and trend during these periods.

Dear copiers, I would like to inform you all that CARUS-AR will continue to be available in the EU, and UK. This obviously includes The Netherlands.

Will share a longer update about MICA and ICONOMI soon.
