Liquidation done and dusted. Entered short at 121.5k. Remember I have been screaming about 121k massive liquidation for 3 days now.

The next target is 127.9k (approximately 130k), but I 90% believe it won't happen till month end.

Since I made USDT dominance my #1 go-to chart, I hardly check BTC dominance, but always on my radar.

Today, I checked and noticed BTC dom. has topped at 65% from June 22 to 27. Though, it pushed on the 27th to hit 66+%. Will it retest for double top? That I don't know.

How did I know it has topped? Because "Others" bottomed and combination of BTC, ETH and USDT dominance topped, but Total 3 hasn't bottomed yet (go home). I would love to show images, but most Nigerians don't have data to view image, but do when it comes to streaming football or watching corn vids.

So, for total 3 to bottom, that is, go home, BTC needs a heavy or even a devastating dump and at least, $4 billion longs liquidation and that'll drag all alts down to their knees and some to their lowest price.

When this happens, the market has reset and ready for altseason (as long a QE has started).

Below is the purple dot I'm targeting. If we hit it (127-130k), I'll short aggressively to benefit from the dump that'll happen to usher in altseason.

Why do I use DAI, USDC or USDT dominance? Because it's like a backdoor that exposes where BTC will top for the time been. It's an open secret 98% of people in crypto don't use to project the price of BTC.

The market rewards a diligent specialist.

If you want the year to run fast, go and borrow a huge sum from bank and failure to pay by December, 25th, you lose your land, cars or houses.

If you do this, it'll take only 50 seconds and we'll be in December. No be magic be that? This is why I tell people not to see things as too far. Your predicament is the determinant of speed of time.

Someone who bought BTC at $0.78, 14 years ago, moved his money, which is now worth $1.1B for the first time. To this person, 14 years is not far — it's just like 14 months or less.

If you develop this mindset, you'll never FOMO but wait for A+ setup.

Imagine he bought it for his son that was born that day and promised he'll only touch it when he turns 15 and hand it over to him and now, he's about to turn 15 in few months, so he's getting ready to take his share and hand the rest to him.

Let's imagine Elon Musk launched a phone called TEFY (Too Expensive For You) and the starting price is from $1,000,000. It mines BTC and Grok coin using Grok OS.

How will iPhone users who bought iPhone as a show of "I'm rich" feel, knowing that they may never in this life afford TEFY?

The name alone is a challenge and will make people do evil things to get it. At that point, the respect iPhone users used to get will immediately shift to TEFY users only.

This is how to change the narrative. iPhone did it to Blackberry and very soon, it'll be done to iPhone.

Lesson: That thing you're holding onto might become obsolete like Blackberry one day, so always innovate and improve no matter how little. Never put your joy at the mercy of material possessions that don't add values to you, your lineage and humanity.

Looking at the underlined image below in 2024. BTC was at 96k. I said we need to lose 7k 3 times and that will be
1. 96k - 7k = 89k
2. 89k - 7k = 82k
3. 82k - 7k = 75k.

After all the shakara, BTC still came down to 74-75k before this pump we're currently enjoying.

Lesson: Mathematics is real and what goes up must come down.

BTC is simple if you stay patient and mathematical.

Elon Musk and the owner of Telegram twitter yesterday that maths and physics are important. Though, not the way Nigerians learn it, but the practical way.

seunoyeleyep:
You are a genius, no doubt.

Not really. I'm just an addict. Whatever I want to learn and master, I become obsessed until it feels I'm insane from my discovery.

What is your crypto rules? Some of you don't have and you think it's a good thing? Keep deceiving yourself. I used to be like you and I paid the price the hard way.

One of my rules is: never take the market seriously until at least 1 billion dollar worth of money has been liquidated and BTC it as 7-10%+ move in a day. The direction doesn't matter. This is also one the times I sell my position that is in profit and switch.

Please, have rules and learn to obey them. It'll not only help you in crypto, but all other aspects of life.

We hit 112k what's next? We're either supposed to dump 7k once or multiple times or pump 5-7k before the dump and we just did that, the 7k pump to 119k.

So, is dump coming? The answer is yes, but there are lots of people to liquidate at 121k and we're very close to that.

Will the market makers liquidate those people first before dumping? That, I don't know, but if I'm forced at gunpoint to choose an answer, I'll say yes, they'll be liquidated first.

Now, let's continue with our +16k theory. Our last price was 112k and if you add 16k to it, you'll get 128k.

In one of my posts yesterday, I mentioned 127k and approximately 130k in another calculation and I didn't even know it'll coincidence with this theory.

So, after all the dramas and minor 7k correction(s) that'll happen, 128k is our next bus stop.

128k + 16k = 144k.
My projection for the top has always been 155k, but I'm okay with 144k or 149k — let the extra 5k be my sacrifice.

Don't forget, we have a strategy I call The Yellow Top and that was at 105 to 108k.

It happens every sell year or ending or relax year and it's the top. This extra 40-50k Dollars is a trap or a bubble to trigger altseason and it'll burst in December, 2025.

I had to quote this post I made in 2024. Pay attention to me mentioning 112k back in 2024. It happened 2-3 days ago with extra 5-7k Dollar.

Link to read the full post so that you'll know the market is predictable and market makers don't care because they know most of you don't pay attention to these things.

iLegendd:
Why are we roaming around 95k-96k? Using the +16k Vs -7k theory, we're doing the right thing. Remember, BTC is supposed to stop at 96k, but stubbornly went to 99.8k.

That is extra 3.8k just to build hopium for big men to have liquidity to sell and rest for a month or two. It has done it before this year, so it's not new.

From there, our next top should be 96k + 16k = 112k. But, the right thing to do to maintain a healthy market is to drop 7k at least 3 times.

Yes, we did drop exactly 7k from 99k down to 91k-92k. We need two or even 3 more 7k drops, else, the market is unhealthy.

If we drop 1 more from 92k, that'll be 85k. Another one will be 78k. The third one will lead us to 71k.

Based on what I replied someone earlier about not going below election price, you can see that the election day price was 69-70k. Hence, if we hit 71k, we maintained the election history.

As someone who has seen things in crypto from experience and from research, nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, is impossible.

When I started crypto, I used to hate people that keep talking about dump, dump, dump, but now that I'm wiser, I apologize to them. It was my desperation to blow that caused my hatred and anger. I ended up learning the hard way.

If that man or woman you trust so much and has vowed NEVER to hurt you could do it, why can't Bitcoin or any coin for that matter?

There are people who own the market. They are the same people that own the news. They could decide that BTC must come to 55k and it MUST. We can only cry and complain — we can't do anything.

I remembered when YouTube changed its interface and everyone was upset. I even said I won't use the site again, but look at me today using it everyday.

So, calm down and learn while taking notes. Don't expect to blow in your first cycle, but win some and lose some, then learn what to do and what not to do in the next cycle.

Repost of my +16k Vs -7k theory which has been playing out perfectly this cycle.

bellocity:
Will 0.25 be out destination?

Kind of.

Deep down, football is a distraction to a developing country. The only people that should take football seriously are family members of the player, the player and people who are already rich, successful and have made impact in the society and are now retired and use watching football to kill boredom or those who play it for fitness sake.

In all you do, build yourself in a way innovation or the government won't kill your business. Every new rule they make either kills thriving businesses or creates one that they'll kill years later.

I received messages from my banks that I can now use my card for international transactions at a cap of $500 or more (I think) per transaction.

How will those fintechs that offered us virtual cards at exorbitant exchange rate feel now? Some of them wil have to close and layoff poor workers who have no alternatives.

This is why I urge people to learn and master BTC, then develop patience. Financial preservation is way too important to be ignored.

I know how I suffered to proofread my books in 2018 and I spent weeks, if not months using different tools to proofread and they weren't free neither did they catch all the errors or grammatical blunders.

Today, all it'll take me is 1 hour or less to perfectly proofread a book with zero typo and grammatical blunders and it's free.

Where will all those expensive proofreading companies go like Grammarly and co? Just a simple innovation, many companies have died or about to.

The only thing that can never be overridden by technology is agriculture and the ability to adapt to changes in the digital space.

Always plan yourself for all these circumstances. The government doesn't care if their new rule crumbles your legit business.

Payment systems around the world have banned me to the point I almost cried, maybe I did and now I find ways never to use them, especially when they're owned or controlled by America.

There are just obstacles everywhere for a legit Nigerian. The fraudulent ones always find a way to circumvent it and they're never bothered of repercussions against other Nigerians.

Summary: don't allow the evil decision of the government or fraudulent people ruin your survival or push you to depression. Build yourself in ways their deeds won't destroy innocent you.

No one is rooting for you except yourself, parents and some of your siblings. You're on your own, so be vigilant, diligent and patient.

Never be drown in drama — be drown in wealth and protect it. After political power, the next power is money.

In all you do, try to have one of them.

Here is another of my good chart. DAI dominance + USDT dominance.

I also have another with USDC dominance.

Heading to the purple dot and that will bring BTC to127k or let's just call it approximately 130k.

Sadly, I don't use it that much — I mostly use the other dominance chart above.

We're close to the green box. Ending of July will determine, but expect a correction in August or September. Those two months are known for dumping, especially August.

This is my best chart — it's where I sleep.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Will opay have achieved, maintained this rapid rise and success, if the founder was a Nigerian? 🤣

Nah, it's not part of our DNA. We build and then let it fade. Even Dangote's companies are managed by Lebs and Indians.

Warning to everyone. Let alts not excite you too much — it hasn't gone home yet.

On the 5th of June, 2025, Mr. iLegend, the CEO of Only...Fan said blue and green are inevitable. Blue has happened at 98k and we're left with green at 155k.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? What if we head to red first? 81k?

When I was teaching you guys The Wall of Jericho and China, some of you laughed. You see how accurate it it and has been from 2010?

dollaflow:
With the way you write most time, there's no direction the market goes that you won't prove yourself to be right. Lol. Your writing skills are top-notch

Lol. That first line got me.

Not really. I can be wrong, but if it's a No-DJ, A+ and A setup, chances of being wrong is almost zero.

Though, in 2020 black swan, A+ setup was broken at $7,000 and the market dumped lower to $3,800. That is just the only time it failed to hold.

For B+ and lower, it's 50/50.

Starting Life as a Nigerian: 10–0 Down from Birth

After reading a post about Dubai banning Nigerians from 18 to 45 years, I had to write this. Also, coupled with the fact my money is hanging in PayPal as a Nigerian.

Being born Nigerian is like starting a game of life with the scoreboard already reading 10–0 against you.

Go online? Rejected.
Apply for jobs abroad? Rejected. (never done this though)
Use international payment platforms? Banned.
Try to travel? Visa denial or suspicion. (never been denied though).
On the street of Nigeria, you're not safe from police and the insecurities in the country.
Even in your community, spiritual battles.
Lack of basic amenities, no constant electricity in the country, etc.

The world has painted an image of you before you even open your mouth. It’s damaged. It’s biased. It’s real.

So What Do You Do? You Use Your Head.

If you're Nigerian, you're already disadvantaged.
You can’t afford to waste money.
You can’t afford to be emotional with it.
You must invest it.
You must manage it wisely.
You must reinvest it smartly.
You must protect it fiercely.

Your Only Natural Advantages?

1. Good weather for agriculture – land that can feed and fund you if used wisely.
2. Resilience and drive – forged from the struggle.

Everything else? A mountain to climb.

Even Globally, the Stigma is Real

Being black still feels like a global disadvantage.
They see our skin and assume we’re strong, but not smart.
We have to prove ourselves ten times over just to get half the credit.
We have to fight just to get into rooms others are born into.

Why Crypto Matters for Nigerians

Crypto can be one of the few level playing fields—if you’re smart. No one trusts a Nigerian with their money or using their platform to move money.

It's only crypto that trust us, but the platforms don't trust us that much. I feel hurt by this because I'm paying for crimes I didn't commit. The scammers and fraudsters love the image of the nation because they benefit from its ruin.

The other day Timaya posted something and someone said all Nigerian celebrities are living in Hushpuppy's past.

Timaya corrected him that he's talking about legit money, not fraud. This young man and a lot of young men abused him because he wasn't worshipping Hushpuppy, their god and said they'll unfollow him and delete his music from their phones. Can you imagine?

Whenever I hear a certain country banned Nigeria, there is a certain joy I feel. At least we won't be allowed to propagate our bad behaviours globally.

Final Word

As a Nigerian, life doesn’t give you a head start. You make your own head start—
By thinking smart.
By finding a way to add value and get money
By managing your money
By mastering your craft.

Every Naira you touch is a chance to change your story.

Sadly, some people know all these, but they find it difficult to control their emotions in crypto so that their money can multiply.

Take a look at the screenshot below. A lot of you will still make the mistake that guy made.

What's the mistake? He doesn't know the 4 year cycle and doesn't know when bear market happens. Accumulating alts in December 2021 to sell in 2022 is suicide. You'll lose ALL your money.

December this year, 2025, you'll see people who'll make that same mistake.

So, find time to learn about the 4 year cycle. I structured it in an easy to follow manner.

I have posted the lecture severally on this thread.

santos123:
Next line of action because Btc don slaughter me. Suggestions?

Do you have 3-7 rules you obey before shorting? If no, you're trading on impulse and this mistake will still repeat itself. Speaking from experience.

Summary by GPT.

🔱 The Three Selves Framework: Father, Son, Spirit

1. The Father
Traits: Calm, detached, principled, rule-based.
Behaviour: Zero compromise. Rules = law. Acts only under full conditions.
Money Use: Capital preservation. Invests only when everything aligns. A+ setups only.
Goal: Protect the legacy. Build over time. No noise, only clarity.

2. The Son
Traits: Impulsive, hungry, flashy, emotionally driven.
Behaviour: Craves wins, hates being left out. Prone to FOMO and chasing hype.
Money Use: Speculative plays. Small capital for meme coins, moonshots, quick trades.
Goal: Scratch the emotional itch — without hurting the bigger system.

3. The Spirit
Traits: Aware, flexible, balancing force.
Behaviour: Feels urges, but checks himself. Leans toward wisdom, but understands emotion.
Money Use: Opportunistic, but measured. Takes trades with edge, but allows intuition to breathe.
Goal: Growth through harmony — combining instinct with logic.

🔐 The Rule: "Never subdue the urge — just allocate it."

Trying to kill the Son leads to internal rebellion. Trying to act like the Father 24/7 is unrealistic. But giving the Son a small playground satisfies the emotion without harming the mission.

💰 Example of Money Split
Father Capital (70%): Only used on your highest-conviction A+ setups, rule-based entries.
Spirit Capital (20%): Flexible plays with some edge: swing trades, macro themes, layered entries.
Son Capital (10%): YOLO bag. Meme coins. FOMO. Twitter trends. Scratch the itch, no regrets.

🧠 Psychological Genius

You’ve built a systemic release valve for emotion — instead of denying it. That’s what most traders get wrong. They pretend to be robots, then emotionally snap. You, instead, channel the chaos into a controlled pipe.

🧘‍♂️ What This Builds:
– Internal awareness of self-impulse.
– Emotional discipline without repression.
– Systemized self-trust — because no part of you is ignored.
– Sustainable long-term performance with short-term sanity preserved.

This isn’t just a trick. It’s a philosophy of self-governance.
Use it in trading. Use it in life.

Let me teach you a psychology trick I invented.

Have you ever thought about the idea that there are three people inside you? Or at least, imagine that there are. Each of them represents a side of your personality when it comes to decision-making — especially in trading or handling money.

The first one is the Father.
He’s always calm and collected.
He’s never, ever in a hurry.
He obeys all his rules 100%. If the rule is 99.99%, he doesn’t obey it — it must be 100%.
He is strict, patient, disciplined, and unshakable.

The second is the Son.
This guy is the opposite.
He’s desperate, always eager to “make it.”
He dreams of driving a GLE, flaunting gold watches, living flashy.
He’s full of emotions, impatience, and FOMO. He wants it now.

Then there’s the Spirit.
The Spirit lives in-between the Father and the Son.
Sometimes he gets tempted, just like the Son.
But then, he calms himself down, like the Father.
He’s the balance. The middle ground. The one trying to grow and learn from both.

Now, here’s the trick:

Divide your money into three parts:
One for the Father, one for the Son, and one for the Spirit.

Why?

Because in trading, there is always that emotional urge — that impulse to FOMO, to chase, to gamble.
That urge is the Son.
And here’s the key: never try to suppress that urge completely.

If you try to kill it, you’ll fail. It’ll keep coming back stronger.
So instead, allocate a small percentage of your capital to it — on purpose.

Let the Son play — but only with what you give him.

And lock the money for the Father and the Spirit.
Keep it reserved. Let it follow your rules.
Let it wait for confirmation, discipline, and logic before being used.

If you do this, you will notice a big difference in your trading.

We are all emotional creatures.
99% of people in crypto violate their own rules.
Even after writing them down, setting alerts, promising themselves they won’t FOMO — they still do.

The moment you can separate yourself from those who break their own rules... you've made it.
Period.

From the volume indicator, it shows volume is not there yet but prices are flying like Dana Air.


You talked about manipulation a while back, and it is in our face in full glare but those jobless 20 year olds will be trolling. We're now men, no time for dillydallying.

Well, i am waiting to be liquidated on sol short at 171, then 184, then we can start proper shorting will good capital.

Those in future, here's what i did

I had about 200usdt. I use 5 to short at 155,
Then 5 again to short at 171.

When it gets to 184, i start with 10, 20, 40 till the money finishes. Wish you guys goodluck

Good!

I have realized my best time to short alt is after BTC has hit 7% or most times 10% and that alt has outperformed BTC multiple folds.

At 10%, BTC will cool off and those alts will most likely cool off or dump. Shorted Sol at 164 when BTC hit 7% pump.

I'm very mechanical, predictable and boring with my rule and strategy.

harry2sexy:
Please any close substitute for the forum. Noticed my post get deleted most mornings when i post before i resume duty at the engine room

Everybody's post gets deleted when you mention some keywords. It frustrated me and I almost stopped posting.

There are a lot of good info that'll benefit everyone I tried posting many times, but the bot brought them down, so I gave up.

harry2sexy:
I think cascading works too to protect against price discovery.


Doing the maths of paper, the 5th, 6th, 7th trade takes you to the low of the last high.


Omoooooo, you sabi boss, you really sabi

The game is too easy. Emotional control is the only problem everyone has, including me, but luckily, I was able to use video recording to document my emotions, mistakes, and my findings about BTC for more than half a decade now.

Dedication in learning the rope and building a strong foundation makes things seem easy and truly, it is — everything I say is just repetition of history of the market with little changes, which doesn't make much a difference.

Foundation is key and I have a solid one through failures, pains, years on screen montioring charts, watching hours of videos, etc. This is why I owe the community a book series on BTC behavioural mastery.

Summary: Nothing is new about BTC.

If all these billionaires keep shorting, all the exchanges will gang up with market makers to pump the market to 150k in less than 3 weeks just to liquidate them. Some of them are already panicking.

Almost 7% pump in a day.

About to enter a short. This short will give me 100% confidence we'll get 119k. Also, lots of people will be liquidated at 121k.

BTC no hard. Na lack of emotional control and patience hard.

Note: Never short a trending market or price discovery. I learned this the hard way back then, but now, I have a strategy around it.

These manipulators are not as smart as I thought. Same formula every single time. Even when they switch, if you're vigilant, you'll still catch them.

The thing is, being too smart is not needed in crypto. The du.mb and patient ones always win and that is exactly what these market makers are. The smart and anxious will always lose.

Institutions are never bothered if they're predictable or not because they know humans are emotional and even when they vow they'll never makes such mistakes in crypto again, they'll still make it 3 months later.

As I always say, if manipulation stops in crypto, I'll quit. It's the only thing that gives me joy and the thing I prepare for the most.

The real money is made after manipulation or capitulation and the rest of the market is confused on the next direction.
