🚨 The Bull Market is Here, My $100K Trading Challenge Starts Now 🚨

I’m deploying $100K into trading bots across $BTC + majors, with a goal of 4–5x by the end of this altcoin run.

Here’s the market outlook, my positions, and how you can follow along 🧵👇
1/x #Bitcoin is trading at $114K after dipping from $124K.

People are panicking. I see the opposite.

This is a textbook bull market pullback, higher highs, higher lows, strong structure intact. Altseason is already unfolding. That’s why I launched my $100K challenge.
2/x Every bull run has the same pattern:

1️⃣Relentless green candles.
2️⃣A “scary” 5–10% dip.
3️⃣Calls that the cycle is over.

But $BTC hasn’t even broken bull market support (~$94K). $ETH is holding $4K+.

This isn’t a crash, it’s opportunity.
3/x Don’t blame the market if your portfolio is down 50%.

It’s your strategy.

🔹Chasing microcaps too early = every dip feels like the end.
🔹Starting with blue chips ( $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $XRP, $ADA, $LINK, $DOGE) = stable foundation.

That’s where I’m positioned.
4/x The macro backdrop:

This Friday, Fed Chair Powell speaks at Jackson Hole. It’s the biggest policy speech of the year.

Markets already priced a 0.25% cut for September. That’s guaranteed.

The only question: slow + cautious or a faster series of cuts?
5/x Last year, Powell’s Jackson Hole speech sparked a massive rally.

This year, inflation is sticky, unemployment rising. Powell can’t please both sides.

Either way, the first cut in over a year is happening.

Expect volatility, but don’t mistake it for the end of the bull run.
6/x #Ethereum is leading.

ETH/BTC is in a clear long-term uptrend: higher lows, higher highs, strong daily structure.

As long as $ETH outperforms $BTC, altseason flows continue.

ETH doesn’t need to break out every week, it just needs to keep outperforming. Image
7/x Institutions are backing this up.

Just this month:
🔹 Bitmine + Sharplink bought 373,000 ETH (~$1.5B) in 2 days.
🔹 $ETH ETFs saw $2.83B inflows in August.
🔹 $BTC ETFs had $140M outflows.

Nearly 20x more institutional capital flowed into ETH than BTC. Image
Image
8/x #Bitcoin dominance confirms it.

BTC.D just broke below its 50-week SMA + printed a weekly lower low.

If dominance stalls under 62.5%, the downtrend holds.

That’s the altseason trigger we’ve waited 2–3 years for. It’s here. Image
9/x So here’s the challenge: I deployed $100K into trading bots.

Structure:
🔹$10K long-term $BTC bot (anchor).
🔹$90K split across 9 swing bots → $ETH, $XRP, $SOL, $ADA, $LINK, $DOGE, $HYPE, $XLM, $SUI

10 positions max. Simple, scalable. Image
10/x So what's the advantage with bots? They outperform just holding spot.

🔹Conservative case: if $BTC 2x’s, bots can return closer to 3x.
🔹On alts? A 3x spot move often turns into 4–5x with bots.

That’s the edge → systematic outperformance.
11/x My target: 4–5x this $100K challenge.

Not a degen 10x gamble, but steady compounding across majors.

If spot holding gets you 2–3x, I want to stretch it to 4–5x with automation + rotation.

That’s the whole point and added benefit of using bots.
12/x Summary:

🔹Bull market is intact.
🔹Jackson Hole = volatility, not the end.
🔹 $ETH is leading, institutions agree.
🔹BTC.D breakdown = altseason signal.
🔹$100K challenge live with bots across majors.

This is just the start.
13/x I’ll be tracking this challenge in real time.

🚨 How to Prepare NOW For Altcoin Season 🚨

$ETH is around $4,600, just shy of ATH. $BTC just hit a new record before dipping to $118K. Altcoins are starting to wake up.

This could be the cleanest altseason setup in years, but most traders will still get wrecked.

Here’s my step-by-step plan to profit without FOMO 🧵👇
1/x Altseason isn’t a “maybe” anymore, the signs are here.

🔹 $BTC just hit a fresh all-time high at $124K before pulling back to $118K after PPI numbers dropped.
🔹 $ETH tapped $4,700 and is now at $4,550.

Yes, there’s a dip but Bitcoin dominance just broke 60.5% and is already under it mid-week.

If we get a weekly close below 60.5, that’s the final green light for altseason.
2/x Dips like today aren’t the end, they’re the shakeout before the fun starts.

In past cycles, $BTC pulled back 4–8% right before altcoins went parabolic.

Weak hands panic, strong hands rotate.

That’s how money flows from $BTC → $ETH → $SOL/ $XRP → the rest of the market.

🚨#Ethereum Hits $4,300, Parabolic Run Next or Pullback Ahead?🚨

$ETH just ripped to $4,300. Is it too late to buy?

I’ve broken down price targets, key levels, ETF flows, and the ETH-linked alts most likely to move next.

Here’s my full game plan for ETH, altseason, and the key plays🧵👇
1/x $ETH is in its strongest uptrend vs $BTC since 2021.

We haven’t even touched the $4,850 ATH yet.

The question is: do we go parabolic now, or get a healthy pullback before the real breakout?

Let’s map both scenarios.
2/x Ethereum’s rally to $4,300 has opened the door for much higher prices into year-end.

If #Bitcoin pushes toward $150K and ETH/BTC climbs to 0.044, $ETH could hit $6,000–$7,000 this year. My conservative target? $6,600.

I’m positioning to capture that upside while protecting against a pullback.

🚨Is It Finally Altcoin Season?🚨

Next week could be the turning point.

#Bitcoin dominance is inches away from breaking a 2.5-year uptrend and #Ethereum just broke $4K.

If this weekly close confirms, we could see the strongest altseason signal since 2022.

Here’s my game plan🧵👇
1/x #Bitcoin dominance is the chart to watch.

The key level? 60.5%, home to the 50-week SMA.

It hasn’t been broken since Jan 2023, even during last year’s Trump-election rally.

Close below it this week, and we’ve got our first real weekly downtrend in dominance in 2.5 years. Image
2/x Why it matters? When $BTC dominance falls, capital rotates to alts.

A weekly close in the 59% range would be bigger than last year’s post-election move and the cleanest altseason trigger in years.

$ETH is leading this drop. If it holds $4K into Sunday, the setup is 🔥

🚨Why #Bitcoin’s 4-Year Cycle No Longer Works🚨

For over a decade, traders have used the BTC halving clock to predict tops and bottoms.

But the market has changed and sticking to that rule might make you sell too early.

Here’s why the old model is breaking and what I’m watching instead🧵👇
1/x We’re around 470 days post-halving.

If the classic 4-year cycle still worked, $BTC would be racing toward a blowoff top right now.

But price action hasn’t followed the script and that changes everything. Image
2/x The 4-year theory isn’t just about time, it’s about price.

Past peaks came when #BTC hit the top of long-term valuation bands (rainbow, power law).

We’re nowhere near those levels today.

🚨Why Selling in August is a Big Mistake🚨

Markets look shaky. FUD is everywhere. But if you sell now, you could miss the best setup of the year.

Here’s why I’m staying patient and what I’m doing instead 🧵👇
1/x The fear is real:
🔸 Tariff headlines
🔸 Weak job data
🔸 Liquidity dip
🔸 ETF outflows

But zoom out, none of this changes the bigger picture. In fact, it’s setting up a perfect Q4 storm.

Let’s break it down.
2/x  Tariffs are just noise. Trump’s tariff pause now ends August 7. But he always uses tariffs as leverage, this is the same China playbook.

Markets might wobble short-term, but once the news is out, the uncertainty fades. Don’t panic sell on headlines.

How to Survive This Crypto Bull Run Without Losing Your Mind🧠

Altcoins pump, then dump. #Bitcoin dips, CT panics.

If you’re stuck between FOMO buying and panic selling, this thread is for you.

Here’s how to play this bull run with calm, conviction, and capital intact🧵👇
1/x Every bull market has two traps:
🔻 Panic selling after a red candle.
🚀 FOMO buying every time an alt pumps 30%.

This cycle is no different but if you want to thrive, not just survive, you need a long-term mindset.

Here’s how I’m approaching it👇
2/x 1️⃣ Don’t overreact to small dips.

When the market pulls back 3-5%, it’s not the end of the cycle. If you're panicking, you’re either:
❌ Overexposed to microcaps.
❌ Overleveraged.
✅ Or just emotionally exhausted from 2022.

The bull run isn’t over, it’s still early.
