Smart Crypto Investing: Bitcoin, Altcoins & Trading Strategies podcast.

Hey there, it’s Crypto Willy with your smart crypto investing roundup for the week of November 18th, 2025. Let’s break down what’s been happening across Bitcoin, altcoins, and hot trading strategies—because if you blinked lately, you definitely missed some action!

First up, Bitcoin’s been tossing traders around like a rollercoaster at Elitch Gardens. After rocketing to a new all-time high of $126,295 at the start of October, we saw a swift tumble, with prices plunging as low as $94,000 just a couple days ago. That dip set off alarms everywhere—crypto Twitter lit up faster than Vitalik Buterin’s mentions during a network upgrade. Market watchers at Blockchain.News flagged the sub-$94K print as a sign of just how spooked short-term holders got, but also pointed out that heavy buy volumes and whale accumulation reared their heads almost instantly, hinting the sharks might smell opportunity here.

And here’s what gets the bulls fired up—PlanB, the quant famous for the stock-to-flow model, said on YouTube that $100K has flipped from resistance to support. That’s a big psychological shift. He remains bullish and basically told everyone, “Hey, don’t be surprised by another 2x from $109K.” Meanwhile, on-chain data tracked by CoinDesk backed that up, showing a surge in holders with 1,000 BTC or more—even while the rest of the market panicked. Whale wallets waking up is never something to ignore.

Now, seasoned analysts from Pintu News and CryptoRank expect that November could be a return to form for Bitcoin, historically a juicy month with average gains over 40% since 2012. The so-called “Santa rally” could kick in early, provided Bitcoin busts convincingly above $115,000 and shrugs off supply pressure around $117,000. Lin from Pintu News nailed it: if ETF inflows stay robust and global risk assets steady, we could see a straight shot into the $120,000–$140,000 range by the end of the month.

But let’s not get tunnel vision—altcoins are pulsing with life, too. Ethereum’s network activity hit new highs on the back of the latest L2 integrations, making gas fees workable again. Solana, after its brutal correction, bounced almost 18% this week, powered by an NFT partnership with Adidas that’s got sneakerheads and devs both double-clicking the buy button. Cardano keeps creeping up in DeFi TVL rankings—Charles Hoskinson must be smirking in his farm out in Wyoming.

Smart trading strategies right now are swing-trader heaven: high volatility favors nimble hands. Some sharp traders are working the dip, bottom-fishing blue chips like BTC and ETH with tight stop-losses just below key support levels—$92,000 for BTC, $5,200 for ETH. Others are playing momentum breakouts, waiting for confirmation above $115,500 to pile on with leverage. If you’re risk-tolerant, pay close attention to Fibonacci retracement levels and whale wallet activity, which is acting as a pretty slick trail marker lately.

So, keep your crypto radar tuned and don’t get shaken out by the headlines. There’s historic opportunity brewing for those with patience and a sharp eye on technicals and the broader macro climate.
