Riding the breakout: How to trade assets making new all-time highs with Dentoshi
4 시간 전 • 6 분 읽기
Whether you’re a trend trader, a meme coin speculator or someone sitting on the sidelines wondering when to act, Dentoshi explains strategies and tactics for managing risk and riding momentum without falling into emotional traps.
Trading the all-time high break
When Bitcoin hit a new ATH on May 22, the reaction was brief but euphoric. For Dentoshi, whose BTC holdings are largely in cold storage, the moment was more of a signal to watch “ what comes next – especiallyfor altcoins.”
History suggests that after BTC sets an ATH, a rotation into alts often follows. But there are a few things we need to see on the charts for this to happen, like a drop in Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) and ETH/BTC strength, but these things have not happened yet. Dentoshi cautions: “ This cycle is different.”
“Institutional capital is in the game now, and much of it enters via ETFs – not onchain or through altcoin speculation. That changes the liquidity dynamics.”
One of the session’s recurring themes was the importance of understanding market conditions. In sideways, choppy markets – like much of early 2025 – Dentoshi scales down activity significantly.
“Sometimes you can be right about the level but wrong about the timing.”
Instead of trying to catch every bounce, Dentoshi waits for confirmation of trend shifts, especially via EMAs (exponential moving averages) analysis.
Position sizing and the art of timing
Dentoshi referenced a famous tweet by pseudonymous trader GCR that sums up her key philosophy:
"During altcoin cycles, you should maximize risk at the the beginning, and slowly reduce it over time, but most people do the opposite".
“Too many traders do the opposite: Hesitate during the early breakout, then go all-in near the top.”
Dentoshi warns against behavior that leads to this result: how greed often grows alongside market confidence, leading to poor entries late in the move.
“Be realistic about targets, manage expectations during consolidation, and take profits without blindly rotating gains into new positions.”

Narrative momentum: If narratives rotate quickly and fail to stick, the market likely isn’t ready for sustained altcoin rallies.
📺 Watch @Dentoshi dive deep into Patterns:
▪ Breaking down flags and pennants like a Pro.
▪ Showing a classic bullish play.
▪ Setting a target price using Flagpoles.
In strong markets, trending narratives last longer. Memecoins can ride these waves when sentiment and volume align.
Journaling, focus and staying sane
Dentoshi is adamant about mental hygiene. She journals trades (ideally 2–3 times per week), sets clear entry/exit rules, and tunes out Twitter noise by following a curated list of serious traders.
She also emphasizes the need for low-dopamine hobbies – activities that help break the constant feedback loop of screen-watching and FOMO.
“Have a plan, not a prediction,” she said. “There are no safe entry points; only safe strategies.”
What’s next: Summer slowdown or altcoin renaissance?
With ETH in a tight 25-day range and Bitcoin hanging between key EMA levels, Dentoshi is watching for signs of breakout strength. Until then, her playbook remains cautious:
Trading ATH breakouts requires more than guts. It demands discipline, a clear system and an ability to avoid noise. Dentoshi’s thoughtful, no-nonsense approach serves as a roadmap for anyone trying to catch the meat of the move without losing their mind (or their portfolio).
