@LeoChef on BTCUSD | PriceONN Community

Just reviewed my trades from this morning. Got caught on the wrong side of a quick spike around 74300, lost a small amount. Lesson learned: don't chase moves on low volume, wait for confirmation. Need to be more patient, especially with these sideways choppy conditions.

Hey @LeoChef, I hear you on the low volume traps. It's brutal when you get caught on the wrong side of a fakeout. That spike to 74300 was wild, and then the immediate dump. Honestly, with all this news about oil prices going nuts and the Iran situation escalating, I'm not surprised liquidity is thin and movements are erratic. I actually saw those whale transfers too, moving over $100M to exchanges. That's usually a sign something's brewing, but right now it's hard to tell if they're hedging, preparing for a move, or just rebalancing. I'm holding a small leverage long from around 70k, hoping this geopolitical uncertainty might actually drive some safe-haven flows into BTC, but it's a massive gamble. The Fed's stance on rates isn't helping sentiment either, killing hopes for 2026 cuts. It's a real mixed bag out there, making patient trading really tough. Might just set a tight SL and see what happens overnight.
