BTC Accumulation comes before expansion. Bitcoin spends 70-80% of its time trading in ranges, while only spending very short periods in actual expansion. To be able to properly trade ranging markets, one of the most important skills you need to learn is how to stay patient and trust your plan. You see, two weeks ago I opened my swing long trade with my entry sitting at $81.3k. Since then, price has deviated below that level six times in total, but ended up respecting it every single time. Many people would view that as weakness and close their trade early to re-enter lower. To me, however, that is a clear confirmation that my level is valid and continues to hold. These repeated liquidity hunts to the downside are something I have observed several times in the past during periods of consolidation. In many cases, these sweeps are used to reset long positioning so that the market isn’t positioned as heavily for the next leg up. My initial thesis therefore remains valid and I will continue to let my setup play out.
