📈 What I’m Trading

Altcoin Market Update

If you've been wondering whether it’s time to jump into new altcoin positions, pump the brakes for a moment. According to our very own Sherlock, a key metric—the TOTAL3 index (which excludes Bitcoin and Ethereum)—is barely hanging on by a thread. We're talking horizontal support levels combined with the Quarterly and Yearly VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), and it’s make-or-break time. A bounce from here could ignite a fresh rally, but if we see a break below, get ready to pivot fast and go full bear mode.

Here’s the deal: a large part of trading success comes from developing the right bias. You might have a textbook setup at support, but if your bias is off and you're buying when you should be shorting, you'll get wrecked.

Sherlock is waiting for the market to pick a direction before diving in—but the weak hands are ripe for shorting now.

Market Sentiment

Why is this critical moment unfolding? Altcoins are at the mercy of broader market forces, and right now, that includes major economic data and global market instability.

From potential regulatory crackdowns to the unpredictability of macroeconomic shifts, it's creating heightened volatility in the crypto space. We’ve all seen how news can swing sentiment in a flash—whether it’s Fed rate hikes or developments in crypto regulations, every headline has the potential to push TOTAL3 in one direction or the other.

This is why Sherlock’s bias development is so crucial. When markets are teetering like this, you don’t just rush in. It’s about waiting for a clear signal, and if that signal tells us to short, we go hard on the weakest alts.

Get Ahead of the Curve

Sherlock’s sharp eye on TOTAL3 and this analysis is just a taste of what our TradingLab community has to offer.

We dive deep into the plays, share real-time insights, and make sure we’re ahead of the curve—whether we’re long or short.

If you want to be part of a community that knows when to strike and isn’t afraid to play both sides of the market, now’s the time to join us.

Let’s make moves—together.

Stay ahead, stay informed, and most importantly, stay profitable.

‘til next time,
