Team1 Brasil Builders Dinner: São Paulo

Tivemos o prazer de reunir builders e players estratégicos em um jantar exclusivo na maior cidade do Brasil 🔺

Em um ambiente intimista, conectamos pessoas, ideias e projetos que estão construindo o futuro onchain, colocando na prática os pilares que movem a Team1 e o ecossistema Avalanche.

A noite também marcou o teaser do nosso primeiro Hackathon 👀

Confira um pouco de como foi essa noite especial 👇

$BTC → $85K.

Heavy liquidity sitting between $82K–$85K. Shorts could get flushed before any meaningful pullback.

No short trigger yet.

Taking profits on spot and waiting for the next setup.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

$ETH Interesting…

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

$BTC The market seems to be looking at a downhill. Realized profits and drawing short strategies at the moment. Narratives should not reflect on your movements. We are still in a bull flag by the way. Long term reversal may be coming soon…

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

@hi_disruptivas É desse jeito! Comprei o meu whey na Amazon por 150 reais. Passei na loja física, hoje, estava 290. Penso que lojas físicas, futuramente, teriam um modelo showroom ou de experiência do cliente?

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

I am still bearish on $BTC. Later, I am going to explain the rational.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

Institutional adoption, ETF inflows and bullish narratives do not change how liquidity works.

Price seeks liquidity before direction.

The weekly close matters more than intraday euphoria.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

$BTC is pushing higher and retail is getting comfortable again.

But there are still 4 days left before the weekly close.

Short-term strength does not invalidate the possibility of a liquidity sweep inside the broader weekly bear flag.

Just opened a short on $BTC

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

@lookonchain @machibigbrother Wow

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

@MMCrypto True

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

$SOL

I’m starting to observe a few altcoins approaching areas where short-term long opportunities could emerge.

These would be HTF counter-trend trades, therefore higher risk and highly selective.

Nothing to force.
Alarms are set.
Execution only if structure confirms.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

If Bitcoin forms a HTF bull trap and confirms a real CHoCH, that would signal a transition into a bear market.

If that does not happen, what we are witnessing so far remains a normal macro retracement within a broader bull cycle.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

$BTC

A relief move is likely at some point, but the macro inflection will matter far more than the bounce itself.

The real question, bull or bear market, will be answered on HTF structure.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

Capital is exposed at discounts, not premiums. That’s how $crypto is played.

No one knows the exact bottom.
But price is already trading where risk becomes asymmetric.

This is the phase where capital is built through measured exposure,
not through impulse or certainty.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

$BTC

Many blame poor execution on news and narratives.

Price moves on structure and liquidity, not headlines.

It is what it is.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

and its strong correlation with altcoins.

As expected, once liquidity was taken, downside expanded quickly across the board.

This move wasn’t driven by headlines or narratives.
It was driven by structure, positioning and liquidity.

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

Market update on $BTC $ETH $Crypto

What we’re seeing now is simply price doing what structure and liquidity suggested it would do.

Both BTC and ETH were trading in fragile environments, with LTF turning bearish while HTF lacked confirmation for continuation.

Continue…

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

No acceptance above key levels, no real demand stepping in.

For ETH specifically, the retest of support with a large liquidity pocket resting below made it clear this wasn’t a long environment, especially considering ETH’s role as the backbone of DeFi and L2s…

[Igor Souza @Igorcadesouza]

$Crypto

Structure played out.
Liquidity got taken.
No surprises.
