$BTC Retesting the Key S/R right at the start of the week.
For continuation towards the upside, we need to flip this level into support. As long as we're rejecting here, a sweep of the PWL stays in play.
A short from here could do pretty well, but I'm personally not interested in taking it given that we're in the middle of the range and the Risk to Reward just isn't favorable.
The POIs for me this week are the PWH and PWL.
Given that we pretty much ranged for the entire last week, it's quite likely that we hunt either the high or the low of the previous weekly candle this week.
Whichever side

Both #Bitcoin and #Ethereum are at Fibonacci levels where you can consider both corrections complete.
Market psychology wise I don't think we're in a place where I can call this a wave 2 complete.
During wave 2's the market typically undergo extreme pessimism. And nothing in my feed or market sentiment indicates this to me.
So while the bullish continuation argument can become validated very quickly - within this week - what this wave feels like... it doesn't feel done.
If not lower than consolidated sideways is best case.
That's it for me tonight as I fit in a tweet after unpacking

October 19, 2026 (Monday) BTC Futures Analysis and Strategy (currently around 12:27 HKT)

Wicks are most likely when liquidity is thinnest in the early hours. Over five months, this bot scanned more than 110,000 markets and made $540,000, relying on the edge of its multi-coin, 5-minute model. Its positions being fully closed shows it only trades short windows and doesn’t hold overnight. This strategy comes down to execution speed and model iteration—manual traders basically don’t stand a chance. Are you still watching the charts, or have you handed it over to a bot?

Morninggg bulls
lets ruin someones short

Just tell me whether this place is worth visiting.

We took very good profits last night (from 2430 all the way down to 2327)
Everything is still going according to plan

Continue targeting the previous low (2314 was not breached last night)
Daily targets are around 2265-2160-2055
The downtrend channel remains valid; keep the core position (we’ve been short from 2630 all the way down)
Use T-trading within the planned range
Don’t rush. Give the market time, and be patient with yourself.

#LatviaPassesCryptoTaxLaw
The Latvian Parliament (Saeima) has introduced significant amendments to personal income tax laws concerning digital assets. Moving away from taxing individual micro-transactions, the legislation establishes an investment account model ; under this framework, tax is triggered only when withdrawals from a crypto account exceed the original capital invested. Furthermore, it introduces a one-time 10% declaration window in 2027 for previously undeclared assets, aligning national tax rules with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework and European Union taxatio

October 19 Market Analysis: Daily Chart Bottom, 4-Hour Chart Finds Support—Is the Rebound Starting?
Not easy, but this storage-sector downturn has formed what looks like its first bottoming pattern on the daily chart. On the 4-hour chart, the candle at 12:00 has officially broken above the BOLL middle band. The moving averages also point to a potential end to the decline, so the daily chart may turn bullish over the next few days (though the large bearish weekly candle means the bullish outlook may not last).
A few levels to watch on the shorter timeframes: For Micron, 926 could act as resista
