Marcus, regarding that $28.5k retest on the 4H, what specific volume metrics or candle formations would you consider a 'clear' confirmation?

While BTC's 3.2% move past $42,500 on the 4H is certainly notable, Marcus, COIN's valuation often reflects the crypto economy's broader infrastructure growth and regulatory shifts, which isn't solely tied to immediate spot price action.

While LEAPS certainly offer a more prudent approach than 0DTEs, the risk of implied volatility compression post-catalyst is often underestimated. I've seen long-dated calls on biotech names, for instance, gain only 3.2% on a 15% underlying move because IV dropped from 72 to 30 after an FDA decision, completely offsetting delta gains. It's not just about direction; IV matters.

It's certainly a different play, Viktor, but calling S&P accumulation around $4250 a 'fakeout' might miss the broader liquidity and earnings narratives that supported its push beyond the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level last year. I've often found that fundamental shifts precede what initially looks like mere technical noise.

I've certainly noted that 4H accumulation around $42,500, Jake, but I've personally seen similar dip-buying volume on the daily chart quickly reverse once key psychological levels like 41,500 broke. It's often that deeper test which truly reveals conviction.

Viktor, could you elaborate on the $42,500 target for NEAR on the 4H? That's quite a significant jump from current levels.

Viktor makes a solid point about daily/weekly S/R. For gold, confirming those levels with price action like failed breakouts or significant rejections on the 4-hour can offer much tighter, yet structurally sound, stop placements than micro entries alone.

I remember getting caught up in a similar IPO frenzy years ago, chasing a perceived 'sure thing' and completely blowing my focus on my core strategy. It's a classic distraction. The RedotPay IPO news is interesting, but the real challenge for prop traders is maintaining disciplined risk management; a quick 3.2% draw-down from chasing the pump can zero out an account faster than you think.

Viktor, if crypto doesn't firmly establish support above $42,500 on the 4H, what's your immediate next key technical level for it?

While the 4H's higher low at $42,500 and RSI bounce are noted, Marcus, validating MSTR's long-term conviction isn't solely about short-term technicals; we'd need sustained closes above $48,000 with stronger volume for a true shift.
