Crypto Willy: Bitcoin Bulls Eye 150K, But Inflation and Jobs Spook Traders

Crypto Trading Secrets: Professional Digital Asset Strategies podcast.

Hey, it’s Crypto Willy! Let’s dive right into the latest and greatest in crypto trading secrets and pro digital asset strategy action for the week rolling up to August 5, 2025.

The big headlines? Bitcoin’s still the king, but even royalty feels the heat. This week saw BTC try to muscle above the $120,000 line, only to drift sideways while traders watched nerves and resistance levels. According to Platinum Crypto Academy, bitcoin bulls are definitely still dreaming big—think $135K and even $150K targets on the table if BTC blows past $123,218. But lurking underneath, there’s pressure: if bears yank the price under $115,000, brace yourself, we might see the neckline of the classic inverse head-and-shoulders pattern get tested with $110,530 as the make-or-break zone. Watch those numbers, my friends—volatile times call for a tight grip on your risk and position sizing.

But why is the mood shifting? CoinDesk reports a subtle yet telling story in the options world: long-term bullishness is fizzling as rising inflation and lackluster job data spook traders. Griffin Ardern of BloFin says the market’s bias has flipped to neutral, with pros hedging via puts over calls, and more folks are leaning into covered call strategies to spin a little extra yield while BTC zigzags. This reset in the options market could be warning us—we haven’t seen a vibe switch like this since the last bear market reared its head.

For strategy, let’s arm you with some professional tools you can use, whether you’re here to scalp or play the long game. The OSL Academy laid out five killer day trading tactics you’ll see the pros riding:

1. Liquidity Zone Sniping—jump on price pivots where others get stopped out.
2. Trend Continuation Pullbacks—ride breakout waves with tight stops.
3. VWAP Fade—bet against overheated moves far away from the VWAP.
4. EMA Bounce—use exponential moving averages (21/50) for dynamic support/resistance.
5. Pre-News Positioning—set up low-risk bets before the big headline drops.

Prefer deep waters? For futures traders, Bitunix recommends spread trading (buy one contract, sell another), breakout trading after big support/resistance blasts, and scalping for those quick-hit profits on small moves. And for my fellow risk maniacs, always backtest your approach and never skip those stop-losses or you’ll end up just another “lesson learned.” Pro tip from Bitunix: don’t ever over-leverage—80% of futures traders flame out because they go too heavy.

What about the macro mood? According to CoinMarketCap, crypto market cap flirted with $4 trillion before cooling off. On the altcoin side, Ether is sprinting ahead, fueling what could be the first hints of an altseason, but as always, don’t go chasing green candles—discipline and risk control are your best friends.

Finally, for everyone keeping the faith long-term, HODLing is still a solid play for believers in blockchain’s future. AvaTrade reminds us that while active traders might seize the day’s volatility, patient holders often win the big picture—just be ready to stomach the dips without panicking.
