BTC/USDT Buy Setup – September 16, 2025

Bitcoin remains the centerpiece of the crypto market, now consolidating just under $115,000. This buy setup calls for a position at 114,850 with multiple upside targets: 118,500, 120,000, 130,000, 140,000, and a stretch target at 222,222. The protective stoploss is set at 106,889.

Market Context

ETF inflows and long-term holder accumulation continue to restrict supply. Institutional demand strengthens the long-term bull case.

Context for BTC: the original proof-of-work Layer-1 often treated as macro collateral; its dominance steers risk appetite across crypto.

The trading plan is deliberately level-driven: respect 114850 as the risk anchor and keep the stop at 106889. Continuation signals are clean closes above prior supply and rotation toward 118500.

This pair trades on perpetual futures (.spot/linear) with funding as a positioning tell. Preference is spot-led impulses with flat-to-mild funding; if funding overheats into resistance, step aside and wait for a reset.

Risk Management

Scale out profits at each resistance zone. Maintain core position for long-term stretch targets.

Risk playbook (token-specific) for BTC:

• Define risk at 106889 and do not average below it; a clean reclaim is the only valid re-entry signal.
• If perp funding spikes while price stalls under resistance, trim exposure and wait for mean reversion.
• Use staggered take-profits at mapped resistances to pay yourself while keeping a runner for trend extension.
• Liquidity on BTC can thin out during off-hours; prefer limit orders and avoid market orders in rotations.
