BTC: Real Life mirror level trading! Tutorial for Beginners!💡A mirror level is a level that price tests as support and resistance several times. It helps to open long or short trades on a test of the level. Usually the mirror levels are numbers like 100, 1000, 50,000, which traders pay attention to. It can also be previous ATHs, important global levels that can be easily identified. Price bounces off of them because a large number of traders pay attention to it.
I have marked 2 global mirror levels for you:
1. $10101
2. $41950
On the chart I have marked tests of these levels. Also, on the chart you can see several short (+63%) and long (+59.7%) trades.
Now I give you 2 tips on how to open a trade using the mirror level:
🔶open a trade with a pending stop order. When the price is testing the level as support you can put a stop order to buy, and when it's resistance you can put a stop order to sell
🔶open the trade after the close of the candle. Once you are sure that the level has held the price as support or resistance you can open a trade
📑Based on the statistics, you can see that longs are more profitable. This is because Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are growing 80% of the time. But you can calculate the statistics by yourself and consolidate your new knowledge!
🎓Also you can read the basic desription about Real Life channel trading in this educational idea!

Marubozu Candlestick Pattern 📉📉📉‼️ What is a Marubozu in forex?
A Marubozu is a long or tall Japanese candlestick with no upper or lower shadow (or wick). The candlestick pattern comes in both a bearish (red or black) and a bullish (green or white) form and is easy to spot due to its long body. It basically looks like a vertical rectangle.
‼️ How can you tell if Marubozu is bullish?
The closing Marubozu is a stronger candlestick pattern. It is formed when the close price is equal to the high or the low of the day. When the close price is equal to the low then it is called bearish and when the close is equal to the high it is a bullish Marubozu
‼️ What happens after a Marubozu candle?
After two long red candles, the bearish Marubozu close pattern occurs, which signals that the bears are still a dominant force. Ultimately, the price action continues to move lower as the market was very bearish during this period of time
‼️ How do you use a Marubozu candlestick?
Basically, when trading marubozu candlesticks,
Watch for bullish or bearish candlesticks to form.
If bullish, take a long when price breaks above.
Place stop below candlesticks.
If bearish, take a short when price falls below.
Place a stop above candlestick.
Cup and Handle Trading Pattern 📉📉📉✅ A cup and handle is a technical chart pattern that resembles a cup and handle where the cup is in the shape of a "u" and the handle has a slight downward drift. A cup and handle is considered a bullish signal extending an uptrend, and it is used to spot opportunities to go long.
🎯 Cup Handle Pattern
William O'Neil's Cup with Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout. ... The cup forms after an advance and looks like a bowl or rounding bottom. As the cup is completed, a trading range develops on the right-hand side and the handle is formed
🎯 What happens after cup and handle pattern?
If a cup and handle pattern is confirmed, it will be followed by a bullish price move upward. You can pick a price target based on the size of the cup, but it becomes much less clear what will happen after the initial breakout from the cup and handle pattern.
🎯 How reliable is cup and handle pattern?
The accuracy rate for cup and handle pattern for forex and stock on Daily timeframe are 65% and 68% respectively.
Three Black Crows Pattern 📉📉📉hree black crows is a phrase used to describe a bearish candlestick pattern that may predict the reversal of an uptrend. Candlestick charts show the day's opening, high, low, and closing prices for a particular security. For stocks moving higher, the candlestick is white or green.
🎯 The three black crows candlestick pattern is considered a relatively reliable bearish reversal pattern. Consisting of three consecutive bearish candles at the end of a bullish trend, the three black crows signals a shift of control from the bulls to the bears.
✅ The black crow pattern consists of three consecutive long-bodied candlesticks that have opened within the real body of the previous candle and closed lower than the previous candle. Often, traders use this indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators or chart patterns as confirmation of a reversal.
✅ Three Black Crows Explained
Three black crows are a visual pattern, meaning that there are no particular calculations to worry about when identifying this indicator. The three black crows pattern occurs when bears overtake the bulls during three consecutive trading sessions. The pattern shows on the pricing charts as three bearish long-bodied candlesticks with short or no shadows or wicks.
In a typical appearance of three black crows, the bulls will start the session with the price opening modestly higher than the previous close, but the price is pushed lower throughout the session. In the end, the price will close near the session low under pressure from the bears.
This trading action will result in a very short or nonexistent shadow. Traders often interpret this downward pressure sustained over three sessions to be the start of a bearish downtrend.
✅ Limitations of Using Three Black Crows
If the three black crows pattern involves a significant move lower, traders should be wary of oversold conditions that could lead to consolidation before a further move lower. The best way to assess the oversold nature of a stock or other asset is by looking at technical indicators, such as the relative strength index (RSI), where a reading below 30.0 indicates oversold conditions, or the stochastic oscillator indicator that shows the momentum of movement.
Many traders typically look at other chart patterns or technical indicators to confirm a breakdown, rather than using the three black crows pattern exclusively. As a visual pattern, it is open to some interpretation such as what is an appropriately short shadow.

BTC: Real Life channel trading! 3 tips for beginners95% of beginners don't understand why patterns don't work as it shown in the books. That's why losses, stress, and worries appear. The point is that only practice and personal experience will help you understand how to use it correctly.
I will give you a few secrets how to trade in the channel successfully:
1. after testing the borders of the channel, wait for a false breakout or liquidity collection. At point 3 and point 5, there was a large collection of liquidity, after which you can open a LONG. You can see the result by yourself (+28%).
2. Pay attention to the key levels and value zones - combine instruments.
2.1. At point 4 there is a large value zone of $46-47k, which became a resistance. Combined with the upper boundary of the channel, it was a strong resistance zone, which means price is sure to bounce off. We saw a 20% drop!
2.2. At point 5, there was a large value zone of $37.5-40k from which the price also bounced off. The lower boundary of the channel+value zone was a major support for price. Not bad?
3. The middle of the channel. On the chart, we can see that it is often tested as resistance/support. An additional opportunity to open a trade.
Be crafty, use trading tools in combination with each other and you will notice results immediately.

Mistakes to AVOIDHad fun making this as I believe almost every novice trader will be able to relate
if you can relate, then you got a lot to work on, which is good
Here's an example of what kind of mistakes a novice trader does.
avoid those mistakes
and if you have done those already, then stop doing that
you got the wrong mindset
zoom out, journal your trades the same way
and you'll see way clearer
the more you introspect and journal your trades, the more level you'll get
BTC: identified the bottom with VOLUME PROFILE! How to use it?
As we expected, Bitcoin tested the $37800-39600 zone. But how could you predict this? You have to use the volume profile.
A volume profile is close to horizontal volumes (bottom panel), but using them, you can indicate:
1. value areas(support and resistance)
2. liquidity gaps
This indicator is easy to apply, it is in the left sidebar in the "Prediction and Measurement Tools". You can use it to indicate the value zones in ANY crypto/stocks/currency.
Why does it work? The volume profile is a real value data and that's why the price reacts to it most of the time. Similarly, you can use the DOM and Footprint in real time to track the value zones and reversal points for price. If you have questions about it, write in comments or to the DM!
Right now we expect an upward move on Bitcoin:
1. The price has started to squeeze under the $41400-42700 value zone, which shows buyer strength.
2. Volumes have also increased. BIG VOLUMES=BIG PLAYERS.
3. Short traders who opened trades on the fall will be the FUEL for the upward movement.

Bitcoin: 2 trading tips for BEGGINERS!Bitcoin has been in a $30,000 to $67,000 global consolidation for more than a YEAR. You can see on the chart that Bitcoin was down -31%, -36%, -58%, -25%, -52%, -19%. If you use a leverage larger than x2, you could be liquidated multiple times!
Do you want to increase your deposit? Use risk and money management! These are simple rules that help to calculate the risk of your position and the amount of money to buy CRYPTO.
For example, Bitcoin price is $40k and you see a sqeeze under the trend line. Knowing that 60% (6/10) of the time such trend lines break UP, you can divide your capital into 10 parts and buy Bitcoin for 20% of your money with a target of +25% to $50k. That way, the chance of losing your money is minimal (-1-2%) and the profit will be +5% to capital. If you have $10,000, you will earn +$500 per trade. Not bad, don't you think?
In addition, you can also use the short positions, it means to earn on the falls. To do this you:
1. have to understand the basics of trading
2. need to have a desire to study and earnr
This is a short and basic description of risk and money management principles. Trading is easy, but knowing the basics is essential.

A key level is a local minimum or maximum. It can be clearly marked after a BIG price movement up or down (points of extremum). Key levels are often the price of 1, 10, 50, 100 dollars, because many traders pay attention to this numbers.
On the chart we have marked two key levels:
1. lower (for longs) - $44.68

RISK ON vs RISK OFF 📉📉as i use this confluence to enter trades.
🎯 Risk ON vs Risk OFF market sentiment reflects all the market activity, its not a market sentiment for crypto or forex or stock market its for all the financial markets, when i use this confluence i try to understand what are institutional/retail investors are doing are they buying risk on assets or they are buying risk on assets.

🎯 On other side RISK OFF is when investors tend to buy financil assets that PROTECT (key word) their capital they dont want a high yield they want just to save their money and protect during time of financial stress, wars, lockdowns when everything is not clear and safe.

A simple trick to keep your emotions out of the game!Do you have trouble with FOMO or sticking with your plan?
One of the most simple tricks to help take your emotions out of the game and stick with logic is to change your candle colors. Yes, it really makes a difference! Psychologically we are hard wired to react to red and green as STOP and GO reactions. This is actually the opposite of what you want when trading from a smart money perspective. Unless you are a 'breakout' trader or something of the sort, most times you want to be buying when things are red and selling when things are green. When we see red and green on the charts and can cause us to jump in impulsively to the wrong direction. So in short, find some neutral colors that for you still provide you the necessary information and contrast, but do not evoke a strong emotional response. In my case I'm sticking with blue up and yellow down, but have also experimented with greens and grays, etc.
At any rate, this is a super basic post, but I think it is extremely important and also often disregarded as red/green are default. At the very least, give it a try and see how you react emotionally to the bars going forward.
I've also requested that tradingview gives us color customization options for the watchlist. As opening this first thing in the morning and seeing everything red or green can be very jarring and lead you to respond emotionally and jump right in.
Hope it helps somebody!
buy a dip or catch a falling knifethe text in the chart says it all
don't think u're a genius because you longed a dip, zoom out to see the bigger picture and understand that any trade requires risk management for this specific reason
don't try to catch a falling knife, either go with the motion or wait til it has fallen
look for strong demand zone
and your stop loss will be your best tool whether you go with the motion (short at a pullback) or try to long the dip, STOP LOSS is PRIMORDIAL
stop loss protects u from cutting urself too deep in case u were catching a falling knife
BTCvsS&P500! Is volatility the key to SUCCESS?Bitcoin versus the S&P500! Why is volatility so important?
Volatility is always an opportunity for the trader and investor. But what is it?
Volatility is the ability of price to change in % over a period of time. Buying Bitcoin and the S&P500 at the same time close to the lows you would earn +$400 and the S&P500 +$130. The same with short positions. Volatility helps a trader to earn more!
The price of Bitcoin has been very dependent on the S&P500 lately. Bitcoin is down by 52% from its ATH and up by 47%. The S&P500 is down by 14.6% and up by 13%.
Why such different changes in price and how to make money on it? It's all very simple! The total value (capitalization) of the S&P500 is about $40 trillion. The value of all Bitcoins is about $0.9 trillion. Let's imagine that the S&P500 and Bitcoin gained +1 trillion dollars to their value. The S&P500 price would rise by +2.4% ($41 billion) and Bitcoin by more than 100% ($1.9 billion).
I have been in trading for a very long time and I can tell you that your INCOME depend on your skills. If you have a trading strategy, use trading tools, money management and risk management, you can earn more.

Entry Confluences - Examples 📉📉📉🎯 Those are the examples where you use all the confluences i am teaching in my community posts.
✅ Market Structure
✅ Key Level ( Support, Resistance areas)
✅ Candlestick Patterns ( bullish or bearish )
✅ Fibonacci Retracement ( discount or premium )
You can use them as a single confluence but to have a better trade probability i recommend to allign them together, remember focus on the quality not the quantity.
You don't need a lot of trades to make money in the markets, you need high quality trades patience and discipline.
What is your analysis ?
Spinning Top's Candlestick Pattern ✅✅ A spinning top is a candlestick pattern that has a short real body that's vertically centered between long upper and lower shadows. The candlestick pattern represents indecision about the future direction of the asset. It means that neither buyers nor sellers could gain the upper hand.
✅ White spinning tops are candlestick lines that are small, green-bodied, and possess shadows (upper and lower) that end up exceeding the length of candle bodies. They often signal indecision between buyer and seller. To look for the spinning top among the red candles, you can use the Spinning Top Black candle pattern
✅ There are two variations of this chart pattern: the bullish spinning top (green in colour) and the bearish spinning top (red in colour). The bullish formation occurs when the closing price is higher than the opening price, while the bearish pattern occurs when the opening price is higher than the closing price.
Do you use this candlestick pattern in your analysis ?
Timing the Market Using Tether DominanceI always emphasize that time in the market beats timing the market, but I want to share an interesting approach that you can consider taking when timing the cryptocurrency market, especially when it comes to Bitcoin's overall direction.
This is not financial advice. This is for educational purposes only.
Tether Dominance
- Just as Bitcoin dominance refers to Bitcoin's market cap relative to that of the entire market cap, Tether dominance is no different.
- It refers to how much capital is parked in stablecoins, specifically Tether, at any point in time.
- Since Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin that tracksthe USD, an increase in Tether dominance suggests a pullback or correction in cryptocurrencies.
- A simple way to understand it is to think of USD flowing in and out of the market.
- On the other hand, if Tether dominance drops, it means that more capital is being deployed to purchase cryptocurrencies, which is bullish overall for the market.
- If you look at the graph above, you'll clearly see the inverse correlation between Bitcoin (orange) and Tether dominance (black).
- Key support and resistance zones for Tether dominance are marked as well.
- As we're currently trading slightly above local support, marked in green, if we see Tether Dominance fall below those levels, we could expect Bitcoin to continue rallying upwards.
Bitcoin Daily Chart Analysis
- We've tested Bitcoin's yearly open price at $47.2k, and failed to break above the 200 simple moving average (purple).
- Bitcoin has retraced to $45-46k levels, which is a completely anticipated move considering that pullbacks can take place upon breakouts.
- As the overall structure remains bullish, and we see the moving averages cross again, aligning in order for a bull rally, I expect us to retest $50k ranges again.
- Whether we get rejected at those levels, or break through it is unclear, but we'll take it by levels as we always do.
Conclusion
With Tether dominance currently barely holding local support, I think there's a high probability that we see those support levels break down, and see Bitcoin rally upwards once again. This is definitely an indicator that you want to continuously refer to as you trade.

Fear/Greed Index = NEUTRAL ✅As many of you guys know closely look at the Fear/Greed Index indicator when trading the crypto market and i try to allign the technical analysis with the sentiment analysis because crypto market is very emotional and many moves are based on the emotions either it's fear/greed or anything else.
For today the 04.02.2022 FEAR/GREED index indicator is located at a NEUTRAL area meaning we have no ENTRY, the RETAIL HEARD is not in a GREED or a FEAR Sentiment so there is no trading opportunity based on this market analysis tool, let's wait for the btc drop somewhere around 45k - 42.5k in those areas there is a high probability the tool will be somewhere around 40-50 FEAR area so that will be a good LONG ENTRY.
✅ Why Measure Fear and Greed?
The crypto market behaviour is very emotional. People tend to get greedy when the market is rising which results in FOMO (Fear of missing out). Also, people often sell their coins in irrational reaction of seeing red numbers. With our Fear and Greed Index, we try to save you from your own emotional overreactions. There are two simple assumptions:
✅ Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried. That could be a buying opportunity.
✅ When Investors are getting too greedy, that means the market is due for a correction.
Therefore, we analyze the current sentiment of the Bitcoin market and crunch the numbers into a simple meter from 0 to 100. Zero means "Extreme Fear", while 100 means "Extreme Greed". See below for further information on our data sources.

Is SHIB in the ACCUMULATION phase? Identifying the WHALES!Shiba Inu (SHIB) is one of the most popular project of 2021. After the accumulation phase, it rose by about 1000%!
Now the token has dropped by 70% of its ATH and has been consolidating for about 2 months. Could this mean the beginning of a new growth phase?
Accumulation phase is the purchase of cryptocurrency by BIG players to sell higher to the retail investor.
There's not a lot of HYPE around this token right now. Retail traders who have lost 20-50% of their money are starting to sell out in a panic. At this time, the BIG players buy the available tokens from the market to sell higher to new traders who will come on the next HYPE. The same situation as it was in 2021!
It is important to say that if Bitcoin starts its drop, then altcoins will drop too.
Is this really the accumulation phase and we close to RENEW the ATH? We will only know after some time, but we already see the signs of accumulation phase on the chart.

General Pattern Failure Explained on BitcoinWhat is General Pattern Failure?
General Pattern Failure occurs when a chart pattern breaks out, fails to hit target, quickly reverses then rejects off that same breakout level back inside the pattern continuing in the opposite direction of the breakout.
Pictured above in the original chart is a normal breakout on a Inverse Head And Shoulders Pattern while the lower very right examples show General Pattern Failure on the same pattern. Note how the first example has a Bullish Retest (A) where price actually increases at the breakout while the second example is coming back inside that area and finding resistance back inside of the pattern, (Bearish Retest, (B) this then leads to price falling back inside with strong volume/momentum.
General pattern failure can also be considered a Liquidity Grab or can be referred to as a “Fake Out”.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Examples:
The below image shows General Pattern Failure occuring in the opposite direction on #Bitcoin at $11000 on a Head & Shoulders Pattern.
The below image shows General Pattern Failure occuring on BNB Binance Coin (Great Example, Click the image to see the trade play out)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Thoughts:
So by using the above methodology we have a potential clue here for Bitcoins next movement, I am watching the 49-50k area to see if we continue to fall or see a short term push (if we get back above the Inverse Head & Shoulders Pattern, $53000 is the next area of interest).
Learning to trade patterns such as these can provide great opportunities if you understand price action and how to identify the key areas of the pattern that other traders and investors may be focusing on too, these areas become important psychological levels on the chart that allow us to map out potential trades.
Understanding Bitcoin from a different perspective #3What is the value of bitcoin? Is it an asset or currency?
In my opinion it is neither just yet. In article #1 We discovered that the first time bitcoin was priced by an exchange. They did so by calculating the electricity it took a single computer to mine a bitcoin. So if the last bitcoin will be mined in 2040,What then will bitcoin be priced by?

Despite the People's Bank of China clamping restrictions on the currency just a month ago, BTC China has resumed trading. Prices have remained stable. BTC China, one of the most well-known exchanges in the world, said that it would resume allowing yuan trades. "Everything is fine. It was never explicitly banned by the government." BTC China CEO Bobby Lee told CNBC. It appears like there has been a lot of fuss for nothing. That was after a 70% drop in the price of bitcoin a month before😡😡.
February 24/2014
Mt. Gox, the world's largest bitcoin exchange, has declared bankruptcy.The exchange was broke; nearly all of its Bitcoin assets had vanished, including approximately 650,000 coins belonging to customers (worth approximately $40 million) and 100,000 belonging to the exchange itself. Using a weakness in the Bitcoin protocol, hackers siphoned off all of the exchange's assets. "Transaction malleability" was a design flaw that allowed for numerous withdrawals of the same amount, but it wasn't a novel concept. The problem had already been identified and coded around by other exchanges. Surprisingly, Bitcoin withstands the reputational damage, with people blaming the exchange rather than the asset. Bitcoin has fallen from a high of around $1,160 in December 2013 to less than $400 in February 2014.
March 26/2014
Following China's approach, the IRS has determined that Bitcoin is property rather than cash, making it subject to capital gains tax. The move shattered the cryptocurrency's founding values of freedom and decentralization. The lack of faith resulted in a 33% drop in value over the next month, from over $600 on March 10 to just over $400 in mid-April.
June 13/2014
Mining pool GHash now controls 51% of all hashing output, allowing it to circumvent Bitcoin's blockchain's decentralization and exert control over many of its functionalities. What exactly does this imply? Hashing is the computation process that makes a Bitcoin .it's what miners execute to build individual blocks, which are subsequently added to the chain. If someone holds more than 51% of the hashrate, they can reject or even reverse transactions, spend the same coins twice, demand higher fees, and even deny the Bitcoin network service. Later that year, the mining pool convened a round table of miners and developers to try to come up with a long-term solution to the 51 percent problem. This resulted in support for the Segregated Witness feature (more on that later).
July 30/2014
Over the summer, a slew of eager businesses joined the Bitcoin bandwagon, including Microsoft (MSFT), Dell (DELL), Braintree (a Paypal (PYPL) subsidiary), and online shopping behemoth Overstock (OSTK). However, the long-term price decline continues, and by the end of the year, Bitcoin will be back below $300. In fact, it's possible that the major corporations were the ones that pushed the price down. Accepting Bitcoin as payment, they'd instantly sell their holdings on the market in order to convert them back into regular cash, increasing supply and depreciating Bitcoin. Wait i thought institutions investing in bitcoin will take us to the moon. That's what crypto twitter tells us.
Unexpectedly, a trader sells the largest Bitcoin transaction ever. He attempts to sell 30,000 coins on the Bitstamp platform for $300, significantly below the current selling price in the mid-300s. the market is so perplexed by the 'Bearwhale'? Why sell it so cheap? - the price sways a little. But just for a brief moment.Some believe the $9 million cut-price deal's magnitude was an intentional move to increase the market's prominence and attract new buyers, which would have helped absorb the volume.In the Bitcoin realm, the "slaying of the Bearwhale" has become legendary, generating a plethora of mythology, poetry, and art to commemorate his antics.
January 04/2015:
Hackers use a targeted phishing assault on Bitstamp employee Luka Kodric to obtain access to the exchange's systems and steal nearly 20,000 Bitcoins worth over $5 million. The price dips from $264 on January 4 to $171 the following week. It wasn't the end of the world, and it certainly wasn't another Mt. Gox. The thieves only took a small part of Bitstamp's total coins, and the theft had no impact on client accounts or the "cold storage" section where the majority of the company's assets were housed.
February 04/2015
Over 100,000 merchants now accept Bitcoin, including Microsoft (MSFT), Dell (DELL), Wikipedia, Twitch, Greenpeace, Expedia (EXPE), and PayPal (PYPL). People may feel confident that Bitcoin has genuine value as money, not only as a digital investment, thanks to widespread merchant adoption.Bitcoin venture capital activity increased by 342 percent last year, from $96 million in 2013 to $335 million in 2014, according to data from Bitcoin payment processor BitPay. Xapo received $40 million, Blockchain received $30 million, and BitPay received $30.5 million.
A few things worth noting:
China and bitcoin have a toxic relationship
Bitcoin dipped from above $1000 to $171👀.
