One of the most important deciding factors when it comes to scaling into SPOT altcoins and shifting bias toward more LONGS in futures trading is the confluence provided by the 'majors.' Bitcoin is always king and generally steers the market in the direction it wants to move. However, altcoins often lag behind Bitcoin during its rallies, and when Bitcoin dumps, altcoins tend to react the most.

So the critical question is: When is the most logical and least risky time to add SPOT and LONG positions? There are many factors that contribute to strong confluence before making any trading decision.

Firstly, understanding where we are with BTC is key. Has BTC reached its strong HTF demand area?

BTC:

Although with BTC, it did not hit its key level at 72K and instead front-ran at 74K. Therefore, this confluence factor was not achieved.

Secondly, has USDT.D reached its HTF key supply area? Can we observe a clear corrective pattern or a BOS to the downside? Key dates to note are the 7th and 17th of April. USDT.D did hit its HTF level, so this factor of confluence was achieved.

Now we start moving through the other ''Majors'', this is TOTAL - We hit the clear HTF key level for which we later created a BOS.

Same with TOTAL2.
