What’s concerning right now is that Bitcoin pumped, but alts barely moved.

It’s possible that the move up was triggered by rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
People often start shorting in these moments, not realizing it usually plays out the opposite way.

India is a major crypto country, and in case of conflict, a lot of capital may shift into BTC—especially for shadow operations, arms trade, etc.

If you think about it that way, then it would make sense to see alts correct along with BTC during a pullback, landing in those blocks @ Martins mentioned earlier in the trading chat.

That would bring more clarity.

looks good retest 96k ✔️ #btc

At the moment, we’ve moved back above the 96K level and confirmed it with a daily candle close — that’s bullish.
Ideally, we want to see a weekly close above this level too. If that happens, we could likely continue trading long through the end of May (which is also supported by AI projections).

The next key date is this Saturday — the U.S.-China deal discussions.
There’s info suggesting it might not go smoothly, which could send us down to fill the gap in the 92K zone.

Unfortunately, it just so happens I’ll be spending the next four days with family, so I won’t be able to fully focus on the market — even though I’d love to.

🐳 Looking at large player positioning, things get pretty interesting and require caution:

🟢Bitcoin whales are locking in profits around 97K–100K

🟢There are almost no buy orders above 95K

🟢On Binance Futures and Spot, major buy orders are sitting at 92–93K — over 3%-4% below the current price

On Coinbase, it’s even at 75K, which is honestly my biggest concern
(maybe they know something about the Saturday talks and are cashing out in the 97–100K zone?)

Still, AI suggests the short-term bias remains to the upside.

So the plan remains:

As long as we’re above 96K on higher timeframes (4H–1D–1W), we stay looking for longs with stop-losses

If we drop below, we look for local shorts targeting the 89–92K zone.
