Chart trader who posts Bitcoin levels on X. On 2 July he wrote that “Buying Bitcoin under $60,000 will age well”, at $59,968, and Bitcoin rose 44.4% to $86,597 by 22 September. His upside targets in spring and autumn went the other way: the $90k call of 5 May and the “BUY THE DIP ZONE” post of 7 October at $85,540 were both followed by falls.

In short. Josh Rager posts on X as @Rager to about 199,000 followers. On ten dated Bitcoin calls from April to November 2026, the record is 5 played out, 1 open, 4 went against. He read the June–July low well and bought it. Both of his calls for higher prices near the top of the range, in May and in October, went against.

Background — what is documented, and what is not

Josh Rager is a long-time crypto trader. A 2020 CryptoSlate profile lists him as co-founder of BlockRoots, a crypto learning platform, and as an adviser to Level and to Glassnode's trader advisory board. The BlockRoots site no longer loads, and we did not confirm the other roles for 2026. His old account @Josh_Rager now holds one post, “Follow Josh Rager at @Rager”. The @Rager account has posted since March 2014. In May 2026 he wrote that he got into crypto “a decade ago”. We found no public track record kept by the trader.

How the sample was built: the X profile feed returned 334 of the account's own posts from 5 April to 9 November 2026. Many of them are about memecoins, Zcash, Hyperliquid, AI businesses and the NBA. We chart every post in the sample that takes a side on where Bitcoin goes next and has no if-then condition, at the first post of each new stance. A stance ends when a post turns neutral or to the other side. When he repeats a stance with a new level, we note the level in the same card.

Other posts are not charted, but here is how they went. On 29 August he wrote “Bottom was in at $60k $BTC”; the lowest daily mark since then is $74,740, so that still stands. On 14 October, at $83,115, he wrote “Crypto has bottomed. The trend has reversed.” Bitcoin then fell 10.1% to $74,740 on 9 November. On 2 June he wrote “$ZEC will hit $1,200 before $BTC hits $120k”; neither has happened. If-then posts, such as the 27 August break above $82,000 and the 8 November “Sub $70k now looks likely if week closes like this”, are not charted.

He says he trades both ways and has “no loyalty to any asset class”. In the same months he posted often about low-cap memecoins that he says he holds.

Trading style & philosophy

Levels and market structure. He marks support and resistance on the Bitcoin chart, names a buy zone or a line to hold, and talks about higher highs and lower highs on the weekly chart. He adds seasonality and macro news, such as rate decisions and hacks. Bitcoin is his market gauge, but much of his trading in 2026 was in memecoins and smaller coins on-chain.

Outcomes are our read of the stated claim against real price, not the trader's own scoring. Selection: from 334 of the account's own posts between 5 April and 9 November 2026, we chart every post that takes a side on Bitcoin with no if-then condition, at the first post of each new stance. Other posts are listed in the background with their outcome. The 5 November call is only days old. Our price data is daily, so the price for each call is the daily mark for the post's date, and moves within a day are not seen. The $1,000 line on each card assumes buying, so for a bearish call it shows the loss a buyer would have had.

How he makes money — and where the conflicts are

He sells no product that we could find, but he promotes small coins that he says he holds. Here is what we found.

Coins he holds and promotes

From late August he posted many times about the memecoin Rocket (ticker 🚀), launched on Pons and IndexFi, and wrote that he holds it and has been “talking to @TheIndexFi team”. He also wrote “I'm in $UBIK” and that he sold a little spot Bitcoin to buy more of the memecoin USELESS. A video on 5 August listed coins “I hold some of these assets, not all of them”.

Videos

He posts market update videos on X with timestamps, on Bitcoin and on smaller coins he is watching.

Past roles

A 2020 CryptoSlate profile lists BlockRoots, a crypto learning platform he co-founded, and adviser roles at Level and on Glassnode's trader advisory board. We could not confirm that these are still active.
