HOW WE CAUGHT $MET DURING TODAY’S +50% MOVE 🎯
Over the past 24 hours, the market has been getting smoked. $BTC was selling off, alts were bleeding and there wasn’t much reason to be looking for longs.
But $MET stood out, as it wasn’t going down.
While BTC continued lower, MET was able to defend the $0.31 area and reclaim the Apollo trend worm that it had worked hard to break above. That relative strength, combined with the bullish compression forming underneath the trendline, caught our attention.
So we waited.
We waited for Bitcoin to reach the range lows we’d been watching, where we thought it could find support and start to stabilise.
Once it did, we entered $MET while price was still underneath the larger downtrend.
The idea was simple: if something is refusing to sell off while the rest of the market is weak, what happens when the market finally gives it some room to move?
Our answer: $MET broke the downtrend with a compound breakout and ripped through every resistance above.
Like a beach ball being held underwater 🏖️
+703% PNL. All shared live inside the Apollo Academy.
The biggest move on this chart wasn't the signal. The signal was what $MET was doing while the rest of the market was tanking.

STUDY RELATIVE STRENGTH 🎯
While most of the market sold off heavily today, $RAY and $MET are now pushing double digit gains.
During the $BTC dump, both assets stood out by holding their structure while the wider market was getting hit.
Once Bitcoin stabilised around the range lows, that relative strength gave the signal to look for longs.
The result:
→ $MET +12% on the day
→ $RAY +12% on the day
When the market is red, pay attention to what refuses to sell off.
Those are often the first assets traders look towards when conditions improve.

WHY APOLLO HAS BEEN ACCUMULATING aster-2:native 👀
While most are focused on short-term price action, we been steadily building a position in aster-2:native.
Here’s the thesis behind the accumulation, and why aster-2:native remains firmly on the Apollo watchlist.
Full breakdown below 👇
“Why are you bullish on $ASTER?”
Most of you wanted it at $2.
Now you won’t touch it at $0.70.
I was publicly bearish at $2. Now I’m buying at $0.70.
Here's why.

'Lose the trendline and attention shifts back towards the $82.5K range lows'
And just like that… $BTC is back at the range lows 🤝
$BTC | MARKET UPDATE
BTC is holding a trendline that has supported price throughout the past week.
The wider $82.5–87K range has engineered external liquidity on both sides. The longer $BTC spends inside the range, the more liquidity that gathers.
→ Hold the trendline → another attempt at $87K
→ Lose the trendline → attention shifts back towards the $82.5K range lows
When this external liquidity is eventually taken, stops, liquidations and breakout orders create a surge in order flow. Larger players can use that flow to fill positions before price reverses back through the range.
This is why the reaction after a liquidity sweep is often more important than the sweep itself.
Watch the sweep, and then trade the reaction.

We told you USD dominance was likely close to putting in a local low ❗️
Ignore the LARP on the timeline. Pay attention to the charts. They’ll tell you what you need to know.
Truth is, this still has a lot more room to bounce higher...
USDT DOMINANCE AT A MAJOR DECISION POINT 👀
USDT.D is now sitting directly on 6.2–6.5% HTF support, with the Weekly Stochastic at extreme oversold levels.
The previous 8 readings at these levels have repeatedly marked major lows in USDT dominance; the only exception being November 2023.

ALTCOINS LOOK READY TO DUMP 🚨
After weeks of strong performance, cracks are beginning to appear across several of the market’s recent leaders.
$AAVE — double top structure, now losing neckline support
$ZEC — macro uptrend lost, struggling below previous support
$UNI — range support lost after a strong expansion higher
These are just a few examples of similar structures appearing across the market.
If this is your first crypto cycle, just know that alts can fall just as much as they can pump.

$BTC | MARKET UPDATE
The uptrend highlighted yesterday has now been lost, triggering a significant flush and shifting attention towards the downside.
With price now moving towards the range lows, a sweep of the liquidity around $82K is looking increasingly likely before any significant move to the upside.
If that is the case, we expect many alts to offer good short opportunities.
$82K is now the area to watch.

$SOL AT A MACRO DECISION POINT 👀
SOL has rallied nearly 100% from the lows, with momentum and trend now shifting bullish.
But both charts are approaching major resistance:
→ SOL/USD: $120–130 HTF resistance
→ SOL/BTC: HTF resistance + macro trendline
Break these levels and the macro picture for $SOL starts looking very interesting.
Reject, and $SOL likely needs more time to consolidate before another breakout attempt.

$AVAX deviated below its previous range before reclaiming the $8 range lows and exploding higher.
Price has now reached the next range and key decision point around $11.5.
Acceptance above this level would reclaim the larger range and open the door for a potential rotation towards $13.3, followed by the $15 range highs.
One to watch if resistance flips to support.

ALTCOIN LEVERAGE IS REACHING EXTREME LEVELS 👀
Altcoin Open Interest has surged back above $60B, approaching levels last seen when Bitcoin was trading near ATH's.
But BTC is currently only around $86K.
There is no doubt, the altcoin market is increasingly leveraged and vulnerable to large drawdowns if $BTC was to go through a significant correction in Q4.
More leverage = more fuel in both directions.

$BTC remains stuck between $82K–$87K.
Since the lows around $82K, price has maintained an uptrend with higher lows defended each time. As long as that structure holds, another push towards $87K remains in play.
Reclaim $87K and that opens the door to the $90k's.
However, significant liquidity remains around $82K. Another rejection from the range highs could open the door to a sweep of those lows.
Sometimes it’s better to react to price rather than predict it:
Long the breakout.
Short the rejection.
Simple.

$BTC has pushed back above $85K over the weekend, but the order flow doesn't add up.
The rally has been accompanied by increasing leverage, while aggressive spot demand has failed to support the move.
Now look at the liquidation map. A significant pool of liquidity has built below price around $82–83.5K.
This doesn't guarantee a move lower, but with spot demand weakening and leverage driving the move, that liquidity below becomes increasingly important.
$BTC bulls want to see spot demand step in, otheriwse next week likely sees a clear of the liquidity below.
