🌍 How much BTC to retire by 2035?

Market Note – 15 July 2025

A 12‑minute read on the week’s most tradeable shifts — and exactly how to play them.

1. Follow the Flow: How (and When) to Rotate From BTC → ETH → Altcoins

Action‑ready playbook for riding the classic crypto money‑flow cycle:

Cycle Phase

What Usually Happens

Concrete Signals to Watch

How to Position

1. Bitcoin Season

Fresh fiat pours into BTC first.
Media headlines turn bullish.

• BTC sets higher‑highs on weekly chart.
• ETH/BTC drifts down or sideways.
• Altcoin‑Season Index < 25.

• DCA into BTC only.
• Park stable‑coin reserves for later rotations.
• Set TradingView alerts on ETH/BTC 0.055 zone.

2. Overlap / ETH Ignition

BTC cools; ETH starts catching bids as traders hunt beta.

• ETH/BTC climbs > 0.06 and holds 2–3 weekly closes.
• ETH gas spikes; DeFi TVL ticks up.

• Rotate 15‑25 % BTC profits into ETH.
• Stake/liquid‑stake ETH for native yield.
• Add beta‑heavy L1 majors (SOL, AVAX, etc.) on pull‑backs.

3. Large‑Cap Alt Season

ETH’s strength bleeds into top‑20 alts.

• Altcoin‑Season Index > 75.
• ETH dominance stalls; SOL, XRP, ADA weekly RSIs rip.

• Harvest ETH gains in tranches; redeploy into liquid large caps.
• Use 10–14‑day trailing stops on winners.
• Track on‑chain volumes (DefiLlama).

4. Mid/Small‑Cap Mania

Retail FOMO arrives; narratives (AI, memecoins, real‑world‑assets) explode.

• Parabolic moves & 30 %+ daily swings.
• Google‑Trends “buy crypto” spikes.
• Twitter followers for tiny projects moon.

• Cap exposure to 10 % portfolio spread across < 10 picks.
• Favor tokens with revenue share, real usage, or exchange listings in pipeline.
• Scale out on every 2‑3×.

5. Euphoria → Exit

Liquidity thins; large wallets distribute.

• Total‑mc / Stable‑coin‑mc ratio > 12.
• ETH/BTC rolls over; BTC dominance attempts a comeback.
• Funding rates +0.15 %/8h.

• Tighten stops; raise cash to 50 %+.
• Rotate back to BTC then to stables.
• Refuse to chase new mints—protect the bag.

Tools & Alerts to Automate the Plan

  1. ETH/BTC Ratio – add an alert at 0.06 (phase‑transition) and 0.075 (euphoria).

  2. Altcoin Season Index – > 75 = go heavy large caps; < 25 = stay with BTC.

  3. DefiLlama TVL Heat‑Map – shows where real liquidity is moving.

  4. Google Trends “buy crypto” – a free sentiment spike detector.

  5. TradingView Trailing‑Stop Script – auto‑clips 20–30 % pull‑backs in mania phase.

Risk Rules That Keep You Alive

  • Keep a non‑negotiable core BTC stack (25–40 %)—never rotate it.

  • Use position sizing, not conviction, to manage unknowns: 1–2 % per micro‑cap.

  • Pre‑plan exits: every time a coin 3×’s, withdraw your original stake.

  • Respect cycle compression—what took 18 months in 2017 now fits inside 6–9 weeks.

Master these rotations and you’re no longer guessing “When alt‑season?”—you’re synchronised to it. Stay nimble, stay systematic, and let the money flow pay you instead of surprising you.

2. The Alt‑Season Trigger – BTC Dominance Cracks

Key prints

  • Weekly BTC.D close < 63 % 🔻

  • Two‑Week momentum rolls bearish for first time since Q1‑21.

Playbook

Allocation move

Rationale

Rotate 25–30 % BTC → high‑beta majors (SOL, DOGE, SUI, XRP)

Capture relative‑strength pop historically worth 2–3× BTC returns.

Retain core BTC hedge (40 %)

If dominance snap‑backs, you’re still long king coin.

Tactical long‑only basket in mid‑caps

Weight by on‑chain revenue growth (see §5).

Dominance stays sub‑63 % → stay aggressive. Weekly close back above 64 % → cut alt exposure by half.

Tip: Use ATR‑trailing stops (1.5× 14‑day ATR) once first target hit to keep runners alive.

Weekly money‑line

Bullish flip @ $180

First since Aug‑23; needs weekly close > $180.

Double‑bottom target

Classic breadth‑thrust break.

On‑chain active wallets

Confirms narrative traction.

Execution map

  1. Break‑out add‑on

    • Spot tranche @ weekly close > $180.

    • Stop (weekly) < $162.

  2. Dip‑buy zone

    • $165–170 → staggered ladder of bids (20 % portfolio each).

    • Watch 12‑hr money‑line to time reloads.

  3. Targets & scale‑outs

    • T1 $230 (prior supply).

    • T2 $260 (dbl‑bottom measured‑move).

    • T3 $315–330 (fib/ATH anchoring).

Derivative kicker

  • 30‑day SOL IV remains < 90 %. Sell 0.20‑ΔPuts (150 / 155) to finance 0.30‑ΔCalls (250 / 275). Structure nets flat premium, limited downside, unlimited upside through summer.

5. BONK – The “Revenue‑Burn” Meta in Action

Why it matters
Unlike most meme tokens, BONK has a hard‑coded cash engine: every SOL paid to the launch‑pad (BonkBot + BONKpad) is funnelled into market‑buys and irreversible token burns. You are effectively long a shrinking float.

Spot swing

Buy on fee‑spike Mondays (launch‑pad day), sell 30 % at next weekly burn tweet.

Hard stop 9 % below entry.

Grid‑bot

0.000036–0.000055 range, 40 grids, 3 × leverage.

Use 50 % of intended capital; bot auto‑DCA’s dips.

Yield loop

Stake BONK/USDC LP on Raydium (38 % APR) → farm rewards → auto‑convert to BONK.

Impermanent loss; hedge 50 % notional with short BONK‑PERP if price gaps > 25 % weekly.

Alpha kicker: Track revenue.bonk.fun dashboards; whenever daily SOL inflow > 4 k, BONK has historically rallied an average 17 % over the next 48 h.

PS Bluefin, Jito GMX and pumfun also can be put in the same bucket of protol buybacks.
