David’s Trading Notes (Higher Timeframe)
October 16, 2026
The downturn offered a few bites at the apple. Now that prices have risen, it’s time to talk about the higher timeframes.
At this stage, I think it’s a good time to build positions—a stage where you can calculate and manage your risk and reward.
BTC $BTC (Figure 1)
A weekly close above 81333 would signal strong bulls and mark the first entry point for positioning long.
For a higher win rate, the second long entry: enter after a daily close above 84000.
This is higher-timeframe positioning, not an intraday trade.

Google Claims Quantum Computing Breakthrough
Google Quantum AI announced Thursday that magic state cultivation cut errors by roughly 40 times on its Willow chip, achieving magic states with 99.99% fidelity.
Magic states are single-use resources required to run useful quantum programs, and Google estimates their production can consume up to 95% of a quantum computer's capacity.

U.S. inflation heats up again. Could the Bitcoin bull market be affected?
September's U.S. PPI came in significantly above expectations, potentially bringing a new challenge for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. Data showed that PPI rose 1.3% month over month and 6.3% year over year, far above general market expectations. Renewed inflationary pressure means the Federal Reserve may find it difficult to pivot easily toward monetary easing in the near term.
Why does this affect Bitcoin? Because crypto markets are relatively sensitive to liquidity and risk appetite. If expectations for rate c

$SOL Bottom line: Short-term bias is bullish, but avoid chasing highs. With greed sentiment and positive funding rates, at this point you should be thinking “where do I exit if I’m wrong,” not “how much higher can it go?”
Rationale: SOL is currently at 106.11; MA5=106.396 has crossed above MA20=105.882, and the MACD histogram at +0.0662 remains bullish, so the structure is intact. However, RSI=56.2 is only neutral-to-strong, the upper Bollinger Band at 106.693 is right overhead, and the 30-candle range is 5.74%, indicating a choppy market with volatility but no breakout.

‍#Bitcoin is retesting an 8-year-old trendline.
BTC has respected this trendline since 2018, with only one major breakdown in March 2020.
That breakdown turned out to be one of the best buying opportunities of the cycle, as price recovered quickly.
BTC also bottomed around this trendline in the previous cycle (2022 - 2025)
Now, we're seeing something interesting again.
BTC broke below the trendline for the second time and is now attempting to reclaim it and confirm it as support.
If this trendline holds, it could be a very bullish development for Bitcoin.
This is definitely a level worth watch

$ZEC Anyone who chased ZEC at 1233 will most likely become fuel for this 13.76% rally.
Don't rush to flame me. Look at the data: 24h trading volume is $1.937 billion, and the price surged from 1075 to 1253, a 16.6% range. This isn't a healthy rise; it's a classic short squeeze plus sentiment-driven trading. ZEC is an old coin that typically sees daily trading volume of just $300 million-$500 million. What does it mean when volume suddenly surges to nearly $2 billion? It means a lot of short-term leveraged money is betting on the action, not that the market is discovering long-term value.
