Engagement
A typical post picks up 198 interactions against 428K followers, an engagement rate of 0.046%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 55% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 21K times each, and 0.927% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.99% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 546 interactions, about 2.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Merlijn The Trader's engagement rate beats 55% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 48% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

BITCOIN JUST PRINTED THE 2020 SETUP THAT RAN 90% IN NINE WEEKS. Four rejections, wedge broken, then the bottom. Last time Bitcoin ran from $10,000 to $19,000. Price is at $64,305. Chart target $150,000. Bears calling $40,000 will call $40,000 all the way up. Weekly close below $58,000 invalidates this.

BITCOIN AT $77,405. THE 2026 BEAR CYCLE IS 365 DAYS. IT IS ALMOST OVER. Every bull cycle since 2016 lasted 1,064 days. Every bear that followed lasted 365 days. Three for three. The next 1,064-day cycle starts here. Target: $150,000. Time is running out to accumulate. https://t.co/RwuHLFxFMQ

BITCOIN AT $78,441 JUST ENTERED THE DISTRIBUTION PHASE. Accumulation Feb to May. Manipulation flush June to August at $60,000. Distribution starts now. Every prior Bitcoin cycle ran these three phases. Distribution is where the real move happens. Trigger: daily close above $81,000. Target: $150,000. WYCKOFF, YOU ARE A LEGEND!

If you sold Ethereum at $1.5K, you fell for it twice. Two bounces. Two bear flags. Two flushes. Each time, the crowd called the bottom too early and got dumped on. Now the base is built. $1.5K is where the real move starts. https://t.co/S6ivOtc3Ys

BULLS ARE CELEBRATING BITCOIN AT $77,000. BUT WHAT IF WYCKOFF PLAYS OUT. Sequence complete: SC $60,000. AR $76,000. SOS $82,500. ST $62,500. Next: Spring to $55,000. Then Test. Then markup to $107,000+. The unprepared become the fuel. https://t.co/44CA06yntP

BITCOIN INVERSE HEAD AND SHOULDERS CONFIRMED AT $77,476. LAST TIME IT LAUNCHED THE 2023 RALLY. Left shoulder. Head. Right shoulder. Neckline break. Every piece printed on schedule. The 2023 version ran from $25,000 to $73,000. Nearly 3x. Don't say I didn't warn you. https://t.co/MQ5ATIstFZ

YOU FELL FOR IT AGAIN. YOU SOLD YOUR ETHEREUM TO THE WHALES. 2016: retail sold at $7. Whales bought. ETH ran to $1,400. 2018: retail sold at $140. Whales bought. ETH ran to $4,800. 2025: retail sold at $1,500. Whales bought. Price is at $2,466. The people who sold are the ones who watch the next 10x from the sidelines...

EVERYONE WHO GAVE UP ON ETHEREUM THIS CYCLE IS ABOUT TO LEARN WHY THE LAST HOLDERS WON IN 2017. Same accumulation. Same re-accumulation. Same downtrend channel that broke into the run. ETH/BTC at 0.031. The 2017 break ran the ratio 14x, to 0.14. From today that level is 4.5x on ETH against BTC. Time to shine.

THIS CHART IS NETFLIX BETWEEN 2006 AND 2009. THE BOTTOM ONE IS ETHEREUM TODAY. Same range. Same three fakeouts down. Same three fakeouts up. Netflix broke out of it and went vertical. Ethereum is at $1,928, sitting on the exact same range low. Weekly close above $1,800 keeps the structure alive. Below, the range gets wider.

- What is Merlijn The Trader's engagement rate on X?
- Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) has an engagement rate of 0.046%, based on the median interactions across 36 original posts from the last 30 days against 428,082 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.046%, Merlijn The Trader sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @MerlijnTrader have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 55% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @MerlijnTrader post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.8 posts per day across the measured window.
