Pattern and Structure This image provides a visual guide to key chart patterns and market structures in Forex trading. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how these patterns form and how price action influences market movements. The chart showcases several common patterns:
1. Bearish Channel: Traders are advised to buy at the retest after a breakout from the channel.
2. Double Bottom: This reversal pattern suggests buying after the confirmation of the second bottom or the breakout.
3. Rising Wedge: A bearish continuation pattern where selling is recommended after a breakout.
4. Flag Pattern: This continuation pattern typically occurs after a strong price move. The image suggests buying after the breakout.
5. Inverted Head and Shoulders (H&S): A reversal pattern signaling a potential bullish move, with a buying opportunity after the breakout.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US Acquired Nearly 4x the Amount Mined Market Update - January 10, 2025
Takeaways
Spot bitcoin ETFs in the US acquired 51,500 bitcoin in December, nearly quadruple the 13,850 BTC mined: Spot bitcoin ETF-driven demand could create a supply shock that would drive prices higher in the coming months. But the price of bitcoin pulled back below $93,000 this week after reports the US government might sell $6.5 billion worth of bitcoin seized from Silk Road.
Backpack Exchange has reportedly acquired FTX EU after regulatory approval: The exchange, founded by ex-FTX and Alameda staff, would be the managing entity for FTX EU bankruptcy claims. But the FTX bankruptcy estate released a statement claiming Backpack has no control over redistributing the funds, adding that the press release announcing the sale went out without approval.
Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon has pleaded not guilty to fraud charges in US court following extradition: Prosecutors allege he misled investors about terraUSD's stability. Kwon's case is expected to go trial in January 2026.
Metaplanet is aiming to quintuple its bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by leveraging capital markets: The Tokyo-listed firm already holds 1,761.98 bitcoin, currently worth close to $180 million. The move continues a recent trend of corporate and investment entities stockpiling bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs Accumulate nearly four times December’s Mined BTC Amid Supply Squeeze
Spot bitcoin ETFs in the US acquired 51,500 bitcoin in December 2024, dwarfing the 13,850 produced by miners during the same period. This ETF-driven demand reportedly represented 272% of the monthly supply. Bitcoin's price peaked at an all-time high of $108,135 on December 17, driven by surging spot market activity.
A January 6 report also highlighted bitcoin exchange balances hitting record lows, with researchers predicting a potentially imminent supply shock. On Friday last week, spot bitcoin ETFs added over $900 million in inflows. But the price of bitcoin has subsequently pulled back this week, dropping below $93,000 on Thursday as the market weighed the veracity of a report that the US government was poised to sell some $6.5 billion in bitcoin originally seized from Silk Road.
In mining, MARA Holdings led December’s production with 9,457 bitcoin. Riot produced 516 bitcoin and Cleanspark came in third with 668 bitcoin mined. Other contributors included Bitfarms (211 BTC) and Terawulf (158 BTC). With total US bitcoin ETF holdings now nearing $110 billion, some analysts have projected bitcoin to see more significant gains throughout the year.
Dogecoin (DOGE): The Birth of the Original Memecoin
Dogecoin (DOGE) started out as a parody of cryptocurrencies and, in particular, the proliferation of altcoins. Its founders have publicly stated that DOGE was a joke, and the currency hasn’t received a significant technical update since 2015. Despite these facts, market forces have kept the cryptocurrency alive. According to the founders, it was never about the value of DOGE, but rather about giving people an accessible introduction to the world of cryptocurrency through a face many already knew from an internet meme — Doge. The founders sought to overcome Bitcoin’s and other cryptocurrencies’ barriers to entry — for example, news of hacks and scams, as well as technological complexities. To that end, they created a fun and friendly cryptocurrency to welcome newcomers to the crypto space.

Price rejection at key area of support.The daily candle has closed bouncing of a strong zone of support at ~.945249 which is also an area that is respecting my trendline. There is no official buy signal as of yet to play it safe - the official buy signal is once price reaches past the area of resistance ~1.007413 AND fully engulfs the daily candle that closed today. Large selloff on all cryptos today so potentially some buying pressure will return to the market tomorrow.
Bitcoin | How to Master Ranges ?In our latest analysis ( BTCUSDT.P: Liquidation of Highly Leveraged Longs ) about ranges we had concluded that high leveraged longs would be liquidated, this was due to the belief of the indicators (cdv, volume footprint, etc.) that there were buyers.
However, the lack of buyers in the current picture is a big problem, the data currently says so, but the data is not stable, it can change, you can follow this from volume footprints, cumulative delta volume, liquidation heatmaps. If you do not know how to use these, you can visit my profile, you can contact me, I explain how I use all these tools completely free of charge.
My opinion today is that the price will sell nicely from the red line and the decline will deepen, and everyone who follows me knows that I have been repeating this opinion since $103,000.
I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions.
My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record. I don’t claim to know it all, but I’m confident in my ability to spot high-probability setups.
If you would like to learn how to use the heatmap, cumulative volume delta and volume footprint techniques that I use below to determine very accurate demand regions, you can send me a private message. I help anyone who wants it completely free of charge.

XRPUSD Current 10 ¢ Range - Looking For Buying Opportunities ONLℹ️ XRP Remains at the top of the Daily chart BULL FLAG.
Considering many XRP holders are holding for the long run periods of sideways price action is often welcomed and is often considered a stronger bullish indicator compared to a price retracement.
Whilst XRPUSD flounders around the decending trendline of the flag top, we note the current 10¢ tracing range of this coin @ 2.3650 - 2.4675.
🟢Our current PLAN looks to accumulate more XRP on decent dips if and when they turn up.✅️
Often when these deep and often fast dips appear traders chuck their plan of trying to buy the dip in the bin then try to sell into the momentum and often end up getting trapped SHORT.
⚠️Below Is A Copy Of My Earlier Education Post You May Find Useful👍
I would consider the following as a GOLD STAR LESSON TO BE SAVED.
Yesterday created a great reminder opportunity that you must have a PLAN & RULES.
Even SeekingPips is human and therefore sometimes will deviate from the plan.
The GOLD SECRET is to realise the error and get back on track as soon as possible.
I was very clear on the chart share on 01/01/2025 that I only wanted to accumulate XRP
Here is the copy of that paragraph :
"ℹ️ However whilst price remains above 2.10 USD I do not want to take the short side of XRP."
By the next chart share the next day 02/01/25 it was clear to me where price was and that I was seeing a clear BULL FLAG on the DAILY CHART.
✅️ With that information I had a plan❕️✅️
ℹ️So what's the lesson you ask?❔️
⭐️Well Seeking Pips didn't stick to the plan.
Price was still well above 2.10 but shared a short chart idea.
This is why a TRADE JOURNAL is a GREAT idea.
In real time you may not see or notice any TRADING ERRORS but by having a journal it's in black and white and you can spot any problems early.✅️
⚠️So what were the KEY POINTS from yesterday?
🟢 Based on the D1 timeframe chart there was no valid reason according to my PLAN to conditioner any short positions.
🟢 Even based on the intra day timeframes that I use my RED LINE on my chart share at 2.3268 was never traded below.
🟢 Too zoomed in to price on lower timeframes. Seeking Pips considered the intra day timeframes and price action over what the Daily and Weekly charts were indicating.
🟢 Quantity over quality, wanting to be active and share some content, even given the fact that the DAY, WEEK and EVEN YEAR had just started.
🟢 NOT GIVING the IDEA time to play out. Barely two hours earlier I had already decided that my bias was to the long side.
There was no trigger to invalid that bias.
⭐️THE LESSON⭐️
Trading is not all about Lambos and penthouses. Yes that can be a final goal if you want it to be BUT to get to that point you really do have to iron out all of the ugly stuff first...
If this post helps even one peron on their trading journey it has done it's job.👌

Possibly the best system I have ever come up with for BitcoinThis is for my wealth accumulation and it is not in any way financial advice. If you follow this and lose your shirt that's on you!
There is a cycle embedded into the Bitcoin space. We all know it and we all witness it.
The halving cycle is real and it is a feature not a bug.
For my sanity, I am sick of seeing people I know buying the FOMO tops and then selling on the way down to the bottom or holding through massive periods of drawdown. So I am not going to do that.
The system is simple.
Setup, wait for the next most likely top in the market before the next most likely drawdown period.

USDT Dominance (USDT.D) Update. USDT Dominance has been trading in a clear descending channel for months, indicating a long-term bearish trend.
Price is currently testing the upper boundary of the channel, which has acted as strong resistance in previous attempts.
Around 4.40%, there is significant resistance formed by the descending channel's upper trendline.
A rejection here could lead to a continuation of the bearish momentum.
Immediate support lies near 4.00%, aligning with the midpoint of the channel.
If dominance continues to decline, the next major support zone is at 3.60%, with further downside potential to 3.20% and 2.80% if the bearish structure persists.
The green dashed lines suggest potential bearish movements if resistance holds, leading to a continuation toward the lower channel boundary.
Let me know if you’d like further assistance or adjustments!

Litecoin, Shitecoin: An OpportunityAs much as I blast Litecoin, I think there's a trading opportunity here. Some other OG cryptocurrencies have gone up 5x recently - XLM and XRP, for instance. I don't mind this, because I actually think those coins are at least a little more viable as currencies than Bitcoin.
I'm keeping this short. Just taking advantage of volatility. A 40%+ pullback with the potential of a 200% move? I'll take it. Here to have fun, not here to question things right now.
Litecoin active addresses are stable around 300k, though having steadily moved up over the last couple of years from 200K. bitinfocharts.com
Bitcoin active addresses have climbed a bit recently up to 750K, after actually declining the last couple years. bitinfocharts.com
As crappy as price behavior has been for LTC over the years, I like its growth pattern to an extent.
It's important to keep in mind that while on a very slow long term uptrend, Litecoin has broken down out of its major long term uptrend (orange) This was why I had assumed more downside was to come.
Given that LTC tends to pump last in the cycle, I'm taking a gamble on this thing flying back into the long term uptrend. There's A LOT of resistance overhead, especially at the broken uptrend, near $150-160 currently. Here's the shorter term structure, with some bullish arrows drawn.
Taking out the recent low near $85 would be a bearish sign and could send price quickly back to $66 support.
Let's see what happens. If the market has already topped, oh well. Risking a neglegable amount here. R/R seems decent to me.
This meant for speculation and entertainment only.
