A trader who witnessed the crypto rally earlier this year says he remains on the sidelines after Bitcoin gave up any gains made by BlackRock’s application for a spot-based BTC exchange fund.
In a new strategy session, DonAlt tells its 52,900 YouTube subscribers that the recent bitcoin correction, which pushed BTC below $26,000, is a sign that the bears have taken control of the market.
“As I look at this weekly candle from a trading perspective, we have retraced the entire history of the BlackRock ETF.
There is a reason I was bullish at $16,000 and the reason is that FTX exploded, the price exploded and then we kept getting bad news and nothing happened. Price just went up slowly.
What we have now is that over the past few weeks to months we have had incredibly good news, the price has gone up and it has fully recovered. And that, to me, is a sign of weakness from a trading perspective. It doesn’t really make much sense to be bullish given where we’re trading right now. We are trading again at levels that I believe we should not have reached again.”
According to DonAlt, if Bitcoin manages to reclaim $30,000 or break as low as $18,950, its time on the sidelines will be shortened.
“That’s why I felt uncomfortable offering the support blindly. The market is just too weak for that. Now that we’ve fully tracked BlackRock ETF news, I’ll be even more defensive. Good news, over $30,000 or a complete meltdown is the only way I can get myself back into this situation.”

The crypto strategist also examines trader sentiment following the recent correction. He notes that traders appear bullish on altcoins, which tells him it’s not time to get back into crypto markets just yet.
“[The] The first thing people seem interested in after a two-month down consolidation has broken off is… buying altcoins. Personally, I’d rather buy when people are terrified and selling their post-nuclear alternatives than when they’re buying.”
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $25,945.
