Below me u find every major move on $BTC translated into the $BRETT chart.
$BRETT is an obvious leverage bet on $BTC performing well and has simply been trending up in this massive altcoin 'shake out' range.
Many altcoins
A lot of people ask me which memes I’m holding in my spot portfolio.
IMO I have the ultimate memecoin bucket that has exposure to ALL important chains:
Memecoin bucket:
Base:
- $BRETT
SOL:
- $PONKE
ETH:
- $ANDY
- $WOLF
- $MOG
- $BOBO
TON:
- $REDO
This will perform and most
"TRIPPLE TOP IS CONFIRMED, WE ARE DISTRIBUTING!!"
This is something I keep seeing over and over again on my feed and very much disagree with.

$BTC chart from stream with the boys
@MaxBecauseBTC
again a massive thankyou for giving me the opportunity to talk on the show!
I think the team cooked pretty fk*ng good this live
Highly suggest everyone to go check it out whenever u have the chance!!
And to the chat, u guys
During my short meditation session this morning I got an overwhelming feeling of gratitude
A lot of this is because of the opportunities that have been given to me by
@MaxBecauseBTC
and the rest of the
@BecauseBitcoin
team.
I have been around in the trading industry and rarely
I have never been so bullish on $BRETT as i am right now.
Just talked to a friend who is not into crypto. He told me he still held some $AXS from the previous cycle because his friend told him to buy in 2021. He forgot how to log in into his Ronin wallet. He doesnt know how to
I got a lot of requests if I could chart $BRETT
I was seeing some local signs of weakness on the chart but I thought to myself
'Do I really want to talk about this?'
And the answer was 'no'.
I'm going to keep it EXTREMELY simple for you guys.
$BRETT had an expansion
Just reminding everyone that $ANDY is built different.
I am very impressed how $ANDY stayed consolidating while $ETH was tanking. Showing signs that all the 'scared' holders have been shaken out.
I have been accumulating more and more in this consolidation range.
Wouldn't
Wait so you are telling me that
- BTC is at a crucial swinglong POI
- USDT.D is at a swingshort POI
- ETH/BTC has broken MS back to bullish after 600 days and is putting in a higher low
- ETH.D confirmed a clean wyckoff model 2 accumulation
And you are not bullish on Altcoins?
During these tough environments in the crypto market $ANDY continuously is showing its strenght telling us it is not just here to take part, it is here to take over.
While other majors with billion dollar in MCs are down 70% from their highs, left somewhere in a ditch, $ANDY is
$ANDY
$ANDY army WHAT is GOODDD
Got a lot of questions regarding Andy's next leg up. "Will Andy reach a billion?" "Where will the next leg up end?" "Is there going to be a next leg up??".
Let me clear your guys minds.
After Andy's first range breakout we rejected 66% from
$WOLF (on ETH) is behaving extremely well
We saw the massive volume increases on the deviation of the range low / breaking out of the range high which were obvious signs of whales accumulating and pushing price higher.
We got a short aggresive expansion of 295.85% towards the
$ANDY is already up 80% from the low.
I tried to warn all of you that it may go a bit deeper than was feels comfortable.
The EXACT same is happening as the previous macro higher low:
1. Price comes close to the important MS low (which can be scary)
2. Mitigates extreme demand
Isn't it obvious enough yet?
$BTC deviated the low and broke MS back inside the range. $USDT.D deviated the range high rejecting PERFECTLY from our refined supply zone / deviation threshold
Short term retraces are normal after breaking structure this aggressively
These two
This is NOT how macro tops are created.
If Market Makers wanted to push price down into a new bear market they would make price distribute on a macro TF.
Not leave trendline buyside $$$ above.
Do NOT get shaken out.
I am convinced the bottom of this macro range on $BTC has been put in.
We are seeing clear signs of exhaustion at the highs on $USDT.D and at the lows on $BTC. Wicking the extreme points over and over again.
The difference with the last deviation compared to the previous ones
I want you to ask yourself the following question:
'If the Market Maker wanted to dump price into new bear market lows, why would he make price deviate the range low 4 times in a row?'
Because we can clearly see that in the previous topping formations in 2017 & 2021 after the
$BOBO
$BOBO army we need to have a chat;
I recently made a post about fibs regarding ranges. To summarize it, once price breaks out of a range and touches the 1.618 it will come to the 2.618 of that range. I have tested this on almost ALL movers last cycle and it is VERY
The plan is very simple:
6H candle close above 58.4K and we will have a consistent move up to 66-68K.
Stall around that 66-68K area for a while, slightly retrace, until next move up to new ATH’s.
Give me a minute to tell you guys something very important about $ANDY.
From a TA perspective $ANDY is in a HTF uptrend with a LOT of buyside liquidity above, meaning the expansion towards the upside will be fast and aggressive.
We have some more refined demand below which
It has been some time since I have given out a $BOBO update and that is simply because BOBO just needed some time.
$BOBO is at a CRUCIAL support POI right now and we are seeing exactly what we need to see happening for higher prices.
We came into extreme demand backed by MAJOR
So I was dreaming about $ANDY yesterday, yes I dream about my baby every other day, and thought to myself
It usually does not happen that a project just randomly starts moving up aggressively after a long consolidation without a last final capitulation event.
So we all know how
I want to have a real chat with you guys
When I was 16 I discovered the financial markets. Watching the $BTC price go up and down every few seconds thinking to myself
‘If I bought 5 seconds ago and sold right now I could have made 50 bucks’
Right at that EXACT moment I knew
The cycle of the average trader/investor using $ANDY as an example for a hypothetical situation:
- Sees $ANDY go from 50m MC --> 300m MC
- 'Omg $ANDY is amazing, if only i found out about this project sooner, if it ever comes back to 100m MC I will buy a LOT'
- $ANDY goes back to
Since the stream with Max I have been getting a TON of questions of people asking me how they can start learning how to analyse the charts the way I do it
The markets are controlled by Market Makers and it is our job to find their footprints in the charts so we can trade WITH
The people saying 'retail will not be here this cycle because...' have absolutely NO idea how human psychology works.
Measuring the lenght of each cycle we can expect a top around Q4 2025.
That is +/- 400 days from now and most likely more than 300 of those days will be $BTC
As a trader human psychology fascinates me and I have been seeing a noticeable shift in mindset of the average crypto retail investor.
Prior to this macro range on $BTC where most of our altcoins have retraced over 70% a lot of people were up a lot of money.
However in that
Q4 of 2024 is going to be absolutely NUTS
My name in the X space has recently been increasing at a rapid pace and I don’t think many of you know I have been traveling since July 8th.
July and August are the months to reflect back on the first half of the year.
What went right
Do you see why this time is ACTUALLY different?
Can you see the difference in price behaviour?
Every prior deviation did NOT tap demand and was followed by a move up that left behind lots of sellside liquidity.
What we see now on $BTC is COMPLETELY different.
We got the
Youtube tried to stop us from absolutely NAILING the charts so you know what we did?
We bounced back 4 times as hard with a 2h+ Crypto Market Update video.
I went over EVERY SINGLE altcoin suggestions u guys gave me and added timestamps to the video to make it even easier to
$REDO is already up 120% from our first entry.
Below me u see me talk about the potential entry entry I was eyeing on $REDO and my entire thought process going into the trade.
Preparation is key in this game of trading.
We saw the Wyckoff model 2 distribution on $TON,
I'm here to tell you that it is NOT over for $ETH as I'm typing this.
$ETH could be setting itself up for the most PERFECT PO3 schematic I have ever seen.
Why?
I think I have seen 100 posts/vids of people talking about the fact that $ETH can NOT lose its current low.
Gave u guys the exact playbook yesterday on $WOLF
These $WOLF whales cannot hide from me ;)
We just had an aggressive expansion towards the upside grabbing a lot of liquidity on the left hitting our supply zone and POC (area with the most volume in the entire retrace)
What u
I told her I made Wyckoff a profitable trading concept and gave it out to the public for free.
Next thing I know I’m out on a date……
Wyckoff is unbeaten on and off the court guys in case u needed a little extra motivation.
I will be remembered as the person that made Wyckoff effective & profitable to all of you.
It is EVERYWHERE on ANY timeframe and it is enabling me to give out crazy calls like the $SOL, $MOG, $GOLD short in only the last week alone.
I use it on the 30s chart scalping and on
In case u wonder why we are pumping?
I just got back home behind my PC after 5 days of travel and decided to press a few buttons.
Chef Kooistra is preparing some charts for you guys.
Why price is always a LEADING indicator and news follows AFTERWARDS.
I think this is one of the most important concepts to understand as an investor.
There is one bit I would like to add to my $BTC discussion.
Even though we are slowly coming into a potential support POI
$BOBO
New all time highs on BOBO. Told u to buy at 80m MC.
I dont understand why BOBO should be a beta play of $PEPE.
PEPE = green
BOBO = red
Both have their own strenght and are complimentary. $BOBO should catch up to PEPE's mc. BILLIONS.
If only someone told you $BTC was going higher from here.
If only someone told you this was not a 'fake' move up since it broke MS from the top down.
If only someone told you we had the perfect VAL backtest after breaking structure.
Watch me absolutely NAIL $BTC price action
Wow guys.... 1000+ subscribers on Youtube
I started my channel 4 months ago because I was lacking on journalling and reflecting back on all my taken trades.
I thought to myself, If I just record myself talking about my taken setups while giving in depth explanations, that will
I had a vision of $BOBO last night.
AI coins were dumping - $BOBO went up
Gaming coins were dumping - $BOBO went up
$PEPE was dumping - $BOBO went up
$BRETT was dumping - $BOBO went up
$BOBO is used to the red. It thrives in it
A trade only moves in your desired direction if people with the ABILITY to move price decide to push price in your favor.
We are completely reliant on Market Makers for our trades to play out.
I can’t move price. You can’t move price. Everyone reading this can’t move price.
As some of you may have already noticed my name has been changed to…..

I never understood the people that say stress is caused by taking on too much
I get the MOST stressed when I’m doing NOTHING. I get these voices in my head whispering ‘Get back to work… Get back to work’.
IMO stress is the result of NOT working as hard as u KNOW u should be
$ANDY
$ANDY is showing incredible strenght during this correction phase. We called the distribution at the top and so far this has been nothing but a healthy retrace.
Price is actually looking pretty familiar to the previous consolidation phase we had that lead to a 700% move
It is almost time for an aggresive move on $BTC
Price can only consolidate and tighten up for X amount of time before it gets another expansion towards the upside or downside.
In the red you can see the Bollinger Band width. The longer price consolidates the more tight our
$WOLF
$WOLF is showing great signs of strenght here
Nice accumulation with good volume on the deviation and potential break-out
Important that we break this current range high for higher prices
Think about the following for a second guys;
I KNEW $BTC was going to drop and get an aggressive move towards the downside (see previous video).
I quote:
"This is not going to be putting in a higher low here, this is going to have a fast move down here".
And STILL I did not
So I switched my chart to inverted and made the realisation that this PA looks IDENTICAL to how $BTC was setting itself up to dump down in Jun-Aug 2022 (Bear market).
Market Makers HAVE to do the same thing EVERY single time to position themselves when they want to move price
Another day another Wyckoff netting me over 9% today.
Let me open your guys' minds as to how quick you can completely change your life.
If u had a trading account worth $1.000 and u made 10% a week consistently you would have $142.042,93 after only 1 year of trading (1000 x
$ETH at the moment has the worst chart comparing it to $BTC & $SOL (3 majors).
However when I put $ETH against either SOL or BTC I see so much upside potential and it is making me wonder…..
‘Is ETH about to start the most hated rally?’
ETH/SOL has the potential of being

$BOBO
$BOBO's current pump and retrace is looking almost identical to the one we had between the 5th-19th of March.
Following the fractal that would mean +150% in the upcoming 20 days.
Does price have to follow the fractal? Absolutely not. I am just showing u that as of so
Up above we see the $ANDY chart before moving +700%
Down below we see the $CONAN chart
Talking about patterns i don't think i have seen something THIS familiar before
$ANDY at the time was a higher risk play. Only AFTER the 700% move did most people feel comfortable investing
This is preparing to be an insane call here at TCT Trading on the

My spider senses are tingling. Everything is looking good on $BOBO. Market structure, Volume, Timing. Everyting is aligning just like with $ANDY.

This $BTC range has been going on for 176 days now so my question to you is,
How have you improved yourself the past 6 months?
Did you learn any new skills that generates income?
Have you reflected back on your investing behavior, identifying and learning from your mistakes
CEX listings like the ones on Binance are short term BEARISH.
I have been saying this over and over again and will not change my opinion on this for $BRETT.
Below me I have put $TAO as a comparison but you can also take a look at $BOME, $BON & $WIF out the top of my head.
I have been getting a lot of messages of people showing me their taken Wyckoff setups.
I noticed that some of you are often times to zoomed in really searching for Wyckoff instead of building context and letting Wyckoff come to you.
I highly suggest if you are starting out,
Well…. we took the low again on $BTC.
This was something I did NOT expect to happen and I was simply wrong.
But like I always say, we trade our confirmations and NOT our expectations and there were NO confirmations to long.
Matter of fact we shorted the markets.
‘Don’t
$PONKE has simply just been up only.
We have finally formed a bigger consolidation range and we just DEVIATED the range high. It is not a range break yet.
Coming into the range high we saw a volume divergence followed by one massive volume spike. That buy order is obviously

I have no exposure to $MOG as of now.

Everything is lining up perfectly
USDT Dominance breaking towards the downside out of a 1673 days channel = bullish for risk-on assets
ETH/BTC breaking MS towards the upside back inside the range after a 600 day consecutive downtrend = mega bullish for altcoins

The ULTIMATE Wyckoff trading tutorial now live on YT
My PC gave up on me in the end so I have decided to divide the tutorial into two parts, which looking at it now is actually a smart thing to do.
