📈 $BTC Breaking Down: What's Next?

Sometimes, the market just doesn't hold back. As our analyst Sherlock nailed it in his update yesterday, the trendline on Bitcoin ($BTC) has finally snapped—and it’s every bit as "CRUEL" as he warned. Let’s dig into what’s going on and how you can position yourself in this chaos.

The Chart Never Lies (But It Might Hurt Your Feelings)

Take a hard look at the chart. The break of $98K wasn’t just a technicality—it was a gut-punch. What followed? A textbook bearish retest of $98K before $BTC turned south again, now eyeing the $92K zone with laser focus. Sherlock calls $92K a key level, but $85K? That’s the "untapped" zone everyone’s whispering about. If price starts flirting down there, it’s game on for a potential free-fall.

The moral of the story? Charts don’t care about feelings—they just tell the truth. And right now, $BTC’s truth is leaning heavily bearish.

What Does This Mean for Altcoins?

Here’s the kicker: Sherlock’s been talking about Bitcoin dominance ($BTC.D) for weeks, and it’s all playing out. With $BTC.D climbing toward the 60% mark (or higher), the altcoin bloodbath isn’t just a possibility—it’s practically written in the stars. An impulsive Bitcoin drop could nuke altcoins by another 20% while dominance spikes. Ugly? Definitely. Necessary? Absolutely.

Why? Because when $BTC.D peaks—potentially around 70%—it sets the stage for a legendary altcoin rally. But can you survive the ride down? That’s the real question.
