ETH Price Alert: Must Reclaim Key Moving Averages and Q4 2025 Timescape Levels for New ATH, Otherwise Risk Retest of $3,300 Yearly Open
According to @MI_Algos, ETH must reclaim key moving averages and convert the Q4/2025 Timescape levels from resistance to support to open a credible path to a new all-time high. Source: X post by @MI_Algos on Oct 16, 2025: https://twitter.com/MI_Algos/status/1978839984317575316 Failure to reclaim these levels increases the probability of a support retest near the Yearly Open around $3,300, defining the immediate downside level to monitor. Source: X post by @MI_Algos on Oct 16, 2025: https://twitter.com/MI_Algos/status/1978839984317575316 Trading takeaway: prioritize long setups only after a confirmed reclaim and R S flip of the cited levels, while a rejection keeps a potential move toward $3,300 in play and warrants strict risk management.

Bitcoin (BTC) Defends $110K: Passive Buy Walls vs. Perps Shorts — Key Order-Flow Signals and Trading Levels
According to @52kskew, Bitcoin (BTC) has a persistent passive buyer defending the $110K level while overhead ask liquidity is pinning price inside the current lower-timeframe range, indicating an order-book clamp that traders should monitor for reversals or breakouts, according to @52kskew. According to @52kskew, perpetual futures positioning shows shorts chasing price lower into demand, signaling late-momentum selling into support that can fuel short squeezes if bids hold, according to @52kskew. According to @52kskew, multiple breakdown attempts have been absorbed by passive bids, and a lift would require taker bids to reassert control, signaling buyer dominance and a potential shift in market microstructure, according to @52kskew. According to @52kskew, traders should track $110K as near-term support and the local ask-wall resistance for either mean-reversion scalps or a momentum breakout once taker flow confirms, according to @52kskew.
