@DaanCrypto
Uma das contas de gráficos mais citadas da mídia cripto — e uma das menos dramáticas. Daan não vende alvos de seis dígitos; ele marca faixas, médias móveis, gaps da CME e liquidez do livro de ofertas, diz qual nível decide o próximo movimento e então espera. A Cointelegraph o cita quase toda semana, o que significa que suas leituras ficam datadas em público e podem ser conferidas.
Em resumo. Daan Crypto Trades is a pseudonymous Dutch full-time trader whose X account (~500K followers, opened in October 2017) has become a standing fixture of crypto market reporting. His method is deliberately narrow: Bitcoin first, a handful of tools — range highs and lows, the weekly/daily 200 moving averages, the bull-market support band, CME futures gaps and exchange liquidation heatmaps — and an explicit refusal to post directional hype. He is best read as a range trader: his standing 2026 frame was a $60K–$80K box, and most of his good calls in this window came from respecting it at both ends. His weakness is the flip side: when he does lean directional he can lean at exactly the wrong moment, as he did on the $84K CME gap in early May, and again with $88K+ in late September.
Daan opera em tempo integral a partir da Holanda e nunca tornou público o seu nome real; a conta @DaanCrypto é de outubro de 2017 e cresceu no ciclo de 2021 com threads educativos de gráficos. Num perfil Hall of Flame da Cointelegraph em 2024 ele foi descrito como residente na Holanda e na faixa etária de 20–30 anos, com cerca de 372,000 seguidores no X na época — hoje está mais perto de 500,000.
O que o distingue da maioria das contas deste porte é a ausência de produto. Não há grupo pago, nem serviço de sinais, nem curso; nesse mesmo perfil ele disse ser seletivo com patrocínios e só promover plataformas que usa, com um acordo de afiliação com corretora (ByBit) como linha de receita visível. Seus posts já trouxeram links de indicação com bônus de depósito, e esse é o conflito que vale conhecer.
Ele também é declaradamente avesso ao formato barulhento: perguntado sobre recomendações de long/short, respondeu «I don't think it's something I like», descrevendo o que publica como «mostly just a Bitcoin or Ethereum chart where I roughly think we're heading». É exatamente o que o histórico abaixo mostra — níveis e condições, não alvos.
Para ser completo, suas previsões fora da janela merecem menção porque nem todas são boas. Naquele perfil de maio de 2024 ele colocou o Bitcoin em $120,000 e o Ether em $10,000 para o segundo semestre de 2025 e apontou Stacks (STX) como sua aposta mais altista do ciclo. O número do Bitcoin se confirmou; o do Ether nem chegou perto — o ETH é negociado hoje perto de $2.5K. Essas chamadas ficam fora da janela de preços de 210 dias plotada nesta página, então são divulgadas aqui em vez de pontuadas.

Range-first Bitcoin technicals. Daan works top-down from a high-timeframe box — for most of 2026 that box was $60K–$80K — and then asks which edge is in play. Inside it he leans on a small, repeatable toolkit: the weekly and daily 200 moving averages, the bull-market support band, CME futures gaps as short-term magnets, and exchange liquidation heatmaps to find where liquidity is stacked. Calls are usually framed as conditions rather than predictions (“a daily close above X flips the story; a close under Y kills the momentum”), which makes them unusually easy to grade. The cost of that discipline is that he rarely commits early — and the times in this window he did commit to an upside target — the $84K gap in early May, $88K+ in late September — each came within a week of a local top.
Close to neutral by design. Daan's default is “this is a range until proven otherwise” — he turned bearish on the May breakdown, refused to turn bearish at the June lows, turned constructive in July, leaned bullish into the September breakout and stepped aside again in early October. He is a level-follower, not a permabull or permabear.
Fifteen dated statements from the last five months of the price window, each one machine-checked against its source page before it was charted: the quote appears verbatim on the page, and the page's own publication date matches the date on the card. Nine come from Cointelegraph's markets desk quoting his X posts as they were written; six are the X posts themselves, captured through the syndication endpoint. Two caveats you should weigh. First, selection bias: these are the posts a newsroom chose to quote, which skews toward his most quotable moments — this is not a complete log of everything he said. Second, his calls are conditional by nature, so we grade them on whether the condition he named actually decided the tape, not on whether he picked a number.
“Bulls need to retake $85K or I think the momentum is shifting downwards from here.”
With the $85K floor just lost and about $500M of longs liquidated, he pointed to open interest at its range high and a Coinbase premium “deep in the negative” — spot selling — and drew the line. The bulls never retook it: no daily mark since has come back above $83,691. From $85,540 (that day's midnight mark; he posted at 07:34 UTC, after the break, so his own entry into the move was lower) Bitcoin has slid to $81,512 (−4.7%) today. A day later he wrote “No reason for me to participate in the long side” until the selling cleared.
𝕏 Post@DaanCrypto on X — bulls need to retake $85K or momentum shifts down↗ x.com“I think it is a matter of time before ETH reprices to $3K+.”
A rare unconditional lean from him: tokenization news and strong ETH flows meant a repricing to $3K+ — it “Just needs a little push.” ETH was $2,688. The push never came. It peaked at $2,726 (+1.4%) on 5 October without breaking the $2.8K resistance he had flagged all month, then fell to $2,420 (−10.0%); by 10 October he was calling it “an ugly rejection” and waiting for confirmation. He gave no deadline, so it stays open — but from today's $2,426 (−9.7%), $3K is another +23.7% away.
𝕏 Post@DaanCrypto on X — tokenization news; ETH to reprice to $3K+↗ x.com“$85K is the level to break for continuation. In that case I think we can start looking at $88K+.”
The trigger and the target in one post — with a condition attached: “you need to keep seeing daily closes above $83K.” BTC was $83,479. The trigger fired: on 5 October Bitcoin closed at $86,490 (+3.6%). That was the top. $88K never came — the high stopped 1.7% short — and on 9 October it closed at $81,686 (−2.1%), breaking the very condition he set. Today $81,512 (−2.4%). The $83K line was his own, and he respected it: by 7 October he had turned cautious (next card).
𝕏 Post@DaanCrypto on X — $85K for continuation, then $88K+; hold $83K daily closes↗ x.com“The big clusters that are left in this range sit at $80K & $82K.”
With Bitcoin at $76,147, just after it swept the August lows, he said most of the liquidity below had been taken and named the two clusters left above as “magnets” that “could cause a further squeeze up.” Price never closed lower again — worst dip +0.0%. It hit $80,874 (+6.2%) two days later, $81,236 (+6.7%) the day after, and squeezed through both clusters to $86,597 (+13.7%) on 22 September. Today $81,512 (+7.0%).
𝕏 Post@DaanCrypto on X — BTC sweeps the August lows; liquidity left at $80K & $82K↗ x.com“Above $67K things get exciting. From there on out you have $69K-$72K which is full of big high timeframe daily and weekly levels and moving averages.”
Another if/then, and he added: “until $67K is broken, we are just chopping sideways.” BTC was $64,263 and chopped for eleven more days — low $62,844 (−2.2%). On 20 August it closed above $67K at $69,291 (+7.8%), and “exciting” was an understatement: the $69K–$72K resistance he flagged barely slowed it, and two days later it was at $78,318 (+21.9%). It peaked at $86,597 (+34.8%) and sits at $81,512 (+26.8%) today. The trigger was right; the resistance zone was overrated.
𝕏 Post@DaanCrypto on X — $67K as the line between chop and a breakout↗ x.com“Until either the local highs are broken and push us higher in the range or the big support level is broken, this will just be a choppy few weeks.”
With BTC at $62,820 he refused to call a direction and named the two triggers instead. Both halves landed: price chopped in a $62,773–$64,917 band for the next nineteen days — a low of just −0.1% — then broke the local highs on 20 August exactly as he framed it. The move has since run as far as $86,597 (+37.8%); it sits at $81,512 (+29.8%) today.
𝕏 Post@DaanCrypto on X — crypto market cap at high-timeframe support (~$60K on BTC)↗ x.com“But I do think the longer price spends here, the more likely the $65K level is to break. Especially with the higher lows being made over the past 3 weeks.”
The $65K ceiling had rejected Bitcoin all month and most desks were calling for lower. Daan read the higher lows underneath it as pressure building upward. BTC was $64,670; it dipped just 2.9% to $62,773, then broke $65K and has since run as far as $86,597 (+33.9%). Today $81,512 (+26.0%). He also named ~$67,000 as where price would “break into a bullish market structure” — it did.
SourceBitcoin Struggles At $65,000 Amid US-Iran War, Tech-Stock Selling Hurdles — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“A daily close above $64.7K flips the story and would make for a larger relief rally across the board. A close under $61.3K opens the road to the lows again and kills the momentum.”
The cleanest if/then on the page, and both branches resolved his way. BTC was $62,247 and never closed lower again — the worst dip from here is +0.0%, so his $61.3K invalidation was never touched. The $64.7K reclaim came, and the “larger relief rally” has run as far as $86,597 (+39.1%). Today $81,512 (+30.9%).
SourceBitcoin Needs a Daily Close Above $64,700 to Seal Its Latest Rebound, Says Trader — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“I can easily see us trade in this $60K-$80K region for quite a while. Just need to not turn bearish at the range low and not get too excited at the range high region.”
His best call of the window, made while the tape was still breaking down and other traders quoted in the same article were looking for a deeper bear-market low. BTC was $63,274. It undercut $60K only briefly — low $58,566 (−7.4%) on 1 July — then rallied back to the top of his box, where it stalled through August and early September. The $60K–$80K range held for 103 days before Bitcoin broke out above it on 19 September, running to $86,597 (+36.9%). “Quite a while” proved right. Today $81,512 (+28.8%).
SourceBitcoin Takes Pressure Off $60,000 as Bear Market Roadmap Continues — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“Continuation down after that bearish retest in the low $80Ks region.”
In Bitcoin's worst week of 2026 he stayed short-side and named where it should stop: “Key area here in the low $60Ks least with the Weekly 200MA too.” Both held up. From $64,047 BTC fell a further 8.6% to $58,566 — a shallow undercut of the zone he flagged — and that was the bottom. It has since run as far as $86,597 (+35.2%) and sits at $81,512 (+27.3%).
SourceBitcoin Must Hold $60,000 Next After $2 Trillion Crypto Market Wipeout — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“The longer price compresses around this $80K region, the more liquidity will be building up on both sides which should result in a larger more aggressive move at some point.”
A pure volatility-expansion call — he explicitly declined to say which way. It played out, violently, to the downside: from $79,069 Bitcoin lost 25.9% to $58,566 over the following six weeks. Grade it for what it was: he said the coil would snap hard and it did, but a reader who wanted a direction did not get one. He also flagged $71,000 as the nearest liquidity below — price went straight through it. Bitcoin has since recovered to $81,512 (+3.1%).
SourceBitcoin Falls Below $78,000 as Analysis Eyes a New Bear Trap — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“continuing quite a lot higher”
Cointelegraph reported that he saw a break above $82,000 taking Bitcoin up to fill the $84K CME gap and then “continuing quite a lot higher.” BTC was $79,289; it first fell 26.1% to $58,566, and the trigger only armed 131 days later, on 22 September, when Bitcoin closed at $86,597 (+9.2%) — through $82K and through the $84K gap in one move. The third leg has not come yet: the high is only 5.6% above his trigger, and price has slipped back to $81,512 (+2.8%), 0.6% below it. Two of three legs done but price is back under the trigger, so it stays open — and is now leaning against him.
SourceWatch These Bitcoin Price Levels Ahead of the CLARITY Act Vote — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“Would want to see a move to at least clear that sticky area around the low $80Ks and hold there for a week or two.”
He called the move above the bull-market support band “not a clean break” and set a bar that was never cleared. BTC was $80,678 — it topped the very next day at $82,018 (+1.7%), never held the low $80Ks for anything like a week, and then lost 27.4% to $58,566. Refusing to confirm the breakout was the correct read, one day before the May high. His bar was only met four months later: since 22 September Bitcoin has held the low $80Ks, peaking at $86,597 (+7.3%). Today $81,512 (+1.0%).
SourceBitcoin Due One More Dip Before BTC Price Uptrend Continues, Traders Agree — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“Acceptance higher can lead to a further bounce back into the $90Ks, but a rejection will likely keep this rangebound with $80K as the ceiling for a while.”
Two branches, and the bearish one is the one that ran. From $79,826 Bitcoin got six more days of upside — a high of $82,018 (+2.7%) — then rejected and fell 26.6% to $58,566. The $90Ks never came close. $80K stayed the ceiling for over four months — August and early September poked just above it at $80,268 and $81,265 and failed — until the breakout of 19–22 September to $86,597 (+8.5%). Today $81,512 (+2.1%).
SourceCan Bitcoin Avoid A Repeat of its January Rejection Next? — Cointelegraph↗ cointelegraph.com“its way to close the previous large gap from $84K”
His one directional lean in the spring, and on its timing it was wrong. Cointelegraph quoted him saying Bitcoin was on “its way to close the previous large gap from $84K,” adding that gaps are worth marking because they can act as “'magnets' and local reversal zones.” BTC was $78,512; it got to $82,018 (+4.5%) — within 2.4% of the gap — reversed, and fell 25.4% to $58,566. The gap was finally filled 141 days later, on 22 September, when Bitcoin closed at $86,597 (+10.3%). We keep it graded against him: “on its way” was a near-term call, and anyone who acted on it sat through a 25% drawdown first. Today $81,512 (+3.8%).

Para uma conta deste tamanho, a monetização de Daan é incomumente enxuta — e isso é o mais útil que se pode saber sobre ele. Não há grupo de sinais, não há curso e não há token sendo empurrado. O que há: links de afiliado de corretoras.
Ele tem relação de afiliado com a corretora ByBit, e seus posts já trouxeram links de indicação com bônus de depósito. Isso paga por cadastros e volume, então o conflito estrutural é um viés a favor de atividade — operar em vez de ficar parado — mesmo que os comentários dele muitas vezes digam o oposto.
No perfil da Cointelegraph de 2024 ele disse que só promove plataformas que usa pessoalmente e recusa a maioria dos acordos. Encare isso como política declarada, não auditada.

Over the 210-day window charted on this page, eleven of his fifteen verifiable dated calls played out, two are still open and two went against him — a strong run built mostly on respecting a $60K–$80K range at both ends, then on reading where the liquidity sat when it broke, and on turning cautious when the breakout stalled in October. But he is a commentator, not an adviser, these are the calls a newsroom chose to publish, and his directional upside leans — the $84K CME gap in May, $88K+ in late September — are where he went wrong. Never trade someone else's post.
