We have an OPEX triple witching on December 19, when options, futures, and index options all expiring the same day. Watching to see if we get a post-effect similar last September 19 (also triple witching), when Bitcoin dropped 7–8%. Then we might tag 84–82k (50% of the wick)

Intraday’s been pretty messy this week, a lot of pump & dump moves, Well technically, we’re still sitting at a premium, but it looks a bit saturated now, and and 90k support won't probably hold. I was hoping we’d sweep those marginal highs around 95–96k, but yearly open is acting as trouble zone, a retest of 86k makes more sense now. We could see a technical bounce around 86k, either we reclaim and break 92k, or we roll over toward the 82k (base support) . Happy weekend everyone!

Heya! Just a quick BTC update, traders! FOMC turned out to be a nothing-burger, and 94.5k (yearlyOpen) is proving to be a trouble zone. We didn’t have enough strength to break through, and if we can’t reclaim 92k soon, a retest of the 84–82k base is still pretty likely since we still need to sweep or tap that area at some point.

Zcash has dropped nearly 54% from the November 15 analysis, when it was trading around $640. We anticipated the breakdown as it broke its parabolic curve, but despite the pullback, ZEC continues to show relative strength compared to the broader market. A new proposal to replace its old static fee model with a dynamic system is driving renewed interest. This upgrade arrives alongside increased regulatory attention on privacy. Developers are rolling out a congestion-fee mechanism, and Grayscale is working to transition its ZEC Trust into an ETF — a shift that could attract more institutional flows. With institutions revisiting privacy tech, the key question is whether ZEC can maintain its edge under growing scrutiny. Technically, whenever ZEC rallies, BTC tends to dip — almost a perfect inverse correlation at times, and price is now hovering around $430. A push toward $460–$470 looks likely, and if it can defend the $380 zone, a retest of $520–$550 is still on the table. If $380 fails, downside opens toward $350–$330.

Memes are showing some relative strength. MOODENG climbed over 55% in the last 24 hours, lifted by renewed media buzz, a clean bullish breakout, and a heavy spike in volume. A sharp midday liquidity burst sent the price straight up. MOODENG carries strong speculative momentum, but as a pure memecoin, it remains highly volatile and driven by sustained hype. On the left chart is $PENGU , and the 8-hour fractals look almost identical to MOODENG’s price action. Will $PENGU follow the same playbook and shift into a parabolic micro-trend? If volume sustains, the next potential zone sits around $0.015–$0.020, with a possible wick toward $0.025-0.030.

BTC is sitting inside a mid-range LVN cluster. Price is around 89.6k, right on the edge of a thin LVN band. This isn’t a high-volume acceptance zone, so there’s no real stability — price is basically floating in an imbalance pocket, and volatility can snap either way. If we hold above the 89k-88k, we could see a rotation back toward 95–97k to rebalance into the upper LVN. But if 88k gives out, a quick drop toward 87.5–86.5k is likely. This would be your ideal long sweep zone. Note: LVNs rarely act as strong support. When they break, the move usually accelerates. The downside magnet becomes the 87–86.5k HVN base — the ideal sweep zone for longs.

Drift v3 is now live. Drift has kept building through every market phase with one clear aim: deliver a stronger trading experience. The v3 release introduces a modern redesign and much faster execution. Technical View: Price is currently testing the $0.25 diagonal resistance, and with Bitcoin struggling to hold 91k heading into the weekend, I’m not expecting DRIFT to break through here. If the $0.20 area holds with steady strength, it could set up a long opportunity toward the $0.35–$0.40 zone, which lines up with the previous value area low. Ideally, we want to see BTC find support around the 87–86k region.

One thing that stands out lately is how several mid-caps and low-caps have started to drift above BTC on relative performance. When BTC sits in the middle of the pack while pockets of alts are steadily printing higher % moves, it usually hints at a rotation brewing. This kind of spread normally shows up when: - BTC cools off or ranges after a strong move - Liquidity becomes more comfortable chasing risk - Traders start searching for higher beta plays - Early bids creep in across multiple alt sectors at the same time You don’t need a breakout or a big narrative to see it — the relative strength alone is a decent tell. When alts cluster above BTC while the rest flatten out, it’s often the first sign that the market is prepping for an alt window. It doesn’t guarantee a full-blown alt season, but historically this type of structure gives a decent shot at short-term relief rallies or sector pops, especially if BTC remains stable and doesn’t nuke volatility across the board. For now, the key read is simple: If you see BTC is no longer the top performer in the group. When that happens, attention tends to rotate outward — and alts usually breathe.

ETH is sitting under this diagonal resistance. Could see a technical bounce around 2.9k (ltf support) , but if we can’t clear 3.1k, we could see it retesting 2.8k to 2.7k Bottoms don’t form overnight, so Ethereum will probably keep ping-ponging in this 2.6k–3.1k range for a bit before the next move.

BTCUSDT | 1D In our November 12 outlook, we noted that if price formed another lower high and failed again below the 107k resistance, momentum could fade quickly. That scenario played out: Bitcoin broke below the 102k support and slid into the 89k zone. From here, if the current low holds, the next area that must be reclaimed is 92–93k. Buyers need to step in, a move back below this level increases the risk of a breakdown toward the 84k–82k region. If price can stabilize and build a base here, upside hurdles to watch are 96–97k, followed by 100k and 107k (swing point)
