Beyond Technical Analysis

Are You Really Analyzing Or Just Defending your imagination? You might think you're analyzing every time you open a chart. But what if you're just looking for reasons to justify a bad trade? Real analysis is data-based. Justification is emotion-based. Let’s figure out if you're really trading smart or just lying to yourself. Hello✌ Spend 3 minutes ⏰ reading this educational material. 🎯 Analytical Insight on Bitcoin: BINANCE:BTCUSDT is currently testing a strong resistance near the upper boundary of its parallel channel. A breakout to the upside looks likely soon. From this level, I expect at least a 5% gain, with a main target around $114,500. 📈🚀 Now , let's dive into the educational section, 🎯 Analysis or Mental Justification? Many traders, once they’re in a position, stop looking for truth and start looking for confirmation. Instead of reading what the chart actually says, they twist every line and indicator to make it look like their trade still makes sense even when it doesn’t. 🛠 TradingView Tools That Kill Self-Deception TradingView is way more than just a place to slap on some EMAs and MACDs. If used right, it can literally stop you from fooling yourself: Replay Tool – Use this to backtest without future data bias. It trains your brain to analyze based only on the present moment. Multi-Timeframe Layouts – View your idea across multiple timeframes. Confirmation bias collapses fast when you see the same chart from different angles. Volume Profile – This shows where real trading happens, not where you wish it would happen. Community Scripts & Public Indicators – Looking at someone else's logic helps you catch your own blind spots. Idea Journal & Posts – Publish your analysis and compare it with what actually happened. You’ll quickly see how often emotion was driving your trade. 😵‍💫 What Does Justification Even Look Like? It’s when you’re deep in the red but instead of managing your loss, you draw a new trendline… or add a reversed Fibonacci… or tell yourself, “It’s just a correction.” That’s not analysis. That’s emotional defense. 💡 Know the Real Difference Analysis = data-driven, emotion-free. Justification = emotion-driven, data-twisted. 🔂 Why Do You Keep Making the Same Mistake? Because your brain loves to feel right even when it's wrong. Instead of accepting reality, it tries to bend it. So you dig for signals to support your bad position, not question it. 🧠 The Psychology Behind the Trap What you’re feeling is cognitive dissonance. Two thoughts fighting in your head: “This position is failing.” “I don’t want to be wrong.” So your brain builds fake reasons to stay in it. Welcome to the mental loop that kills portfolios. 🎯 How To Break the Cycle Write down why you’re entering any trade before you open it. Only trade what you can explain, not what you hope. Decide your stop-loss level before you enter. If you’re “hoping” for something to turn around, it probably won’t. 🪞Be Brutally Honest With Yourself The real question isn’t “Can you analyze?” It’s “Can you admit you were wrong when it matters?” Every losing trade you hold onto out of ego is a reminder that you chose comfort over skill. ⚠️ What Makes a Pro Trader? A pro doesn’t just win trades. They cut losses fast. They don’t “marry” a position just because they drew a trendline. They survive by respecting truth, not bending it. 🧪 Train Your Brain To See Reality To break the habit of self-justification, you need to rewire your analysis process. Here's how: Before analyzing a chart, review your previous trade honestly. Ask: What made me enter? Strategy or emotion? Replay the chart with TradingView’s tool. If you didn’t know the future, would you still take that trade? Answer those questions and you'll start separating real analysis from self-defense. 👁 Look at the Chart Without Bias If you’re holding a position while analyzing, you’re probably just looking for evidence to stay in. Try this instead: Pick a timeframe where you have no position, and do a clean analysis. No hope. No fear. No money on the line. That’s when real analysis happens. 🔚 Final Note Real analysis hurts because it forces you to face mistakes. But it's also the path to real consistency. Next time you open a chart, ask yourself: “Am I seeking the truth or just a reason to hold on?” One moment of honesty can change your entire trading journey. ✨ Need a little love!

CelesTIA, All-Time Low Last Month, Trend Change—2025 Bull MarketI am showing multiple charts but my prediction is that the market will turn—the entire Cryptocurrency market—the altcoins market will turn bullish. CelesTIA There is an uptrend between late 2023 and early 2024, the same with the rest of the market. There was also a bullish wave late 2024. Huhhh, there will be an uptrend in late 2025 and early 2026. Ok. Celestia. TIAUSDT. It is easy to distinguish the downtrend vs no more downtrend. The period drawn orange did produce lower lows but it is very different compared to the "downtrend," red on the chart. So this is the transition. Strong down, then sideways, then up. This pair is producing lower lows in its consolidation period but I also showed you many pairs that are producing higher lows, it makes no difference. Lower lows or higher lows, the action is very different compared to the "downtrend." The downtrend is no more. My thesis concludes with a change of trend. This is where everything is leading, hundreds and hundreds of charts, more than 500 since 7-April. They all say the same. In short, these hundreds of charts are saying that the market is about to become extremely bullish and that is something that we welcome with open arms. Actually, we have been waiting patiently, and some not so patiently, for this change to occur. Many trust me; trusted me; Many doubted me and that is also ok. I love the truster and the doubter... I love the reader and the follower... I love TradingView and the Cryptocurrency market; but I will be proven right in the end. I accept the fact that it is impossible to get it always right. I accept the fact that many times I am so, so very wrong. You have to accept the fact that time is running out, Crypto is going up. Celestia just hit a new all-time low and this is awesome news for me and for you, because, from this bottom low we will grow. You can mark these words... Just watch! I would like to take just a few seconds of your time to say, thank you. Time is precious, and you took the time to read this long. If you enjoy the content, make sure to follow. Thanks a lot for your continued support. There is only one Cryptocurrency market, this is us. It is you and me, it is all of us. It is not the whales or the exchanges. We are the whales and the exchanges. We are the government, the institutions, the programmers, the designers; the owners, the planners, the coders, the security expert, the writer, the reporter, the auditor; the professor, the mom, the father and the son. You are the market. You are it. You are the whole thing, the whole world. You might think yourself unimportant as just a tiny ray of light, but there is no life without the sun. You being light, you permeate everything that exist around us. So you are the Cryptocurrency market. You are Bitcoin and you are the altcoins. Namaste.

Rain or Ruin? Analyzing Wheat Prices During Precip Extremes1. Introduction: When Rain Means Risk for Wheat Traders Rain is life for wheat crops—until it isn’t. In the world of agriculture, water is essential, but extremes in precipitation can cause just as much harm as droughts. For traders in the wheat futures market, understanding this relationship between rainfall and price action is not just useful—it’s essential. Wheat is a crop with a long growth cycle, grown across diverse geographies like the U.S. Plains, the Canadian Prairies, Russia, and Ukraine. Each region has its own precipitation rhythm, and any disruption can ripple through the global supply chain. The question is: can weather signals—especially rainfall—be used to predict market behavior? This article dives into that question using a data-driven lens. We categorized precipitation data and measured how wheat futures returns responded to different rainfall environments. The results? Revealing, and at times, counterintuitive. 2. The Role of Rainfall in Wheat Production Wheat, especially spring and winter varieties, is particularly sensitive to soil moisture levels at key phases like germination, tillering, and heading. Too little rain in early development and the crop can fail to establish. Too much rain close to harvest? Risk of disease, sprouting, and quality degradation. Traders have long known that unexpected wet or dry weeks can trigger speculative surges or hedging activity. But how do these events influence actual futures returns? Before answering that, we need to translate rain into something traders can use: categories based on historical norms. 3. Methodology: Categorizing Rainfall and Measuring Market Response To understand how wheat prices respond to different levels of rainfall, we analyzed weekly precipitation data across global wheat-producing regions. We normalized the data using percentiles: Low Precipitation: Below the 25th percentile Normal Precipitation: Between the 25th and 75th percentiles High Precipitation: Above the 75th percentile We then matched this categorized weather data with weekly returns from wheat futures (symbol: ZW) to explore if price behavior systematically varied depending on how wet or dry a week had been. To test significance, we used a simple t-test comparing the mean returns of low-precip and high-precip weeks. The p-value (6.995E-06) revealed a compelling result: yes, there is a statistically significant difference. 4. Results: High Rainfall, Higher Price Volatility The data confirms that weeks with extreme rainfall—especially those with high precipitation—often align with more volatile wheat price movements. But here’s the twist: while low-precip weeks didn’t consistently show bullish returns, high-precip weeks correlated with negative or erratic returns. That makes sense when you think about harvest delays, rot, and declining grain quality. Traders watching forecasts for excessive rainfall should consider the implications for grain availability and price stabilization mechanisms. This is where speculative plays or hedging via options and standard or micro futures contracts can become especially useful. 5. Interpreting the Volatility: Why the Market Reacts to Rain Why does excessive rain lead to such uneven price behavior? The answer lies in uncertainty. Heavy rainfall often introduces multiple variables into the equation: planting delays, logistical bottlenecks, and downgraded wheat quality due to fungal infections. For example, a wet harvest can reduce protein content, pushing millers to seek alternatives—altering both demand and supply expectations simultaneously. This dual-sided pressure—reduced high-quality yield and uncertain export capability—tends to shake market confidence. Traders respond not just to the supply data but also to how much trust they place in the supply pipeline itself. 6. Futures Contracts: Navigating Risk with Position Size Control Traders looking to participate in wheat price action have two main CME-listed options: Standard Wheat Futures (ZW) Contract Size: 5,000 bushels Tick Size: 1/4 cent per bushel (0.0025) has a $12.50 per tick impact Margin Requirement: Approx. $1,700 (subject to change) Micro Wheat Futures (MZW) Contract Size: 500 bushels (1/10th the size of the standard contract) Tick Size: 0.0050 per bushel has a $2.50 per tick impact Margin Requirement: Approx. $170 (subject to change) Micro contracts like MZW offer a lower-cost, lower-risk way to trade wheat volatility—perfect for sizing into weather-related trades with precision or managing risk in a more granular fashion. Many traders use these contracts to test strategies during seasonal transitions or while responding to forecast-driven setups. 7. Visual Evidence: Price Behavior by Precipitation Category To visually represent our findings, we used box plots to show wheat weekly returns grouped by precipitation category: The shape of these distributions is revealing. High-precipitation weeks not only show lower average returns but also a wider range of possible outcomes—underscoring the role that rainfall extremes play in price volatility rather than just directional bias. We are also complementing this visual with a weather map that shows real-time precipitation patterns in major wheat-growing regions. This could help traders align weather anomalies with trading opportunities. 8. Final Thoughts: The Forecast Beyond Forecasts Precipitation isn’t just an agricultural concern—it’s a market catalyst. Our analysis shows that rainfall extremes, particularly heavy rain, create meaningful signals for wheat traders. The price response is less about direction and more about uncertainty and volatility, which is equally important when structuring trades. If you’re serious about trading wheat futures, don’t just watch the charts—watch the clouds. This article is one piece in our broader series on how weather influences ag futures.

Decisive Week: Duties, Oil and Flight from the Dollar Hello, I am Forex trader Andrea Russo and today I want to talk to you about the week full of tensions and opportunities in global currency markets. The new tariff threats from the United States, the strategic moves of OPEC + and the growing instability in the British government bond market are shaking up the entire Forex landscape, with direct implications on USD, AUD, CAD, GBP and JPY. I thank in advance the Official Broker Partner PEPPERSTONE for the support in the creation of this article. The most explosive news concerns the possible imposition of new duties by the United States, with a deadline set for July 9. The American administration, according to Reuters sources, is ready to activate tariffs of up to 70% on some categories of strategic imports if new bilateral agreements are not signed by the end of the month. The market has reacted cautiously, but signs of systemic risk are starting to filter through: US futures are falling, capital is moving into safe havens, and the dollar is starting to lose ground structurally. The decline in oil has added further pressure. OPEC+ announced the start of an increase in production from August, with about 550 thousand barrels per day more than the current level. This has hit Brent and WTI hard, which are now both below $68. Currencies that are highly correlated to commodities, such as CAD and NOK, are weakening, especially in the absence of a monetary response from their respective central banks. Meanwhile, the UK is facing a delicate moment. Yields on 10-year gilts have risen to their highest since April, with a sell-off that has forced the Bank of England to review the pace of its asset disposal. The instability of the British debt is putting pressure on the pound, already tested by inflation that is struggling to recover and a stagnant housing market. The GBP/USD pair remains extremely volatile, while EUR/GBP is moving sideways waiting for a clearer direction. But the star of the week is Australia. The AUD has scored the eighth consecutive week of gains, taking advantage of both the weakness of the dollar and the expectations of a more gradual future rate cut by the RBA. The AUD/USD cross has broken the highs of November 2024 and is now targeting levels of 0.67-0.68. The same goes for NZD/USD, which is also in a phase of bullish consolidation. The US dollar, on the other hand, has recorded its worst start to the year since 1973: a combination of political uncertainty, fiscal instability and falling confidence is eroding global demand for the USD, pushing many managers to diversify into emerging or commodity-linked currencies. Finally, the Federal Reserve is taking its time. Powell stated that the path of rates will be closely linked to the evolution of trade tensions. The Fed, therefore, appears more wait-and-see than expected, postponing a possible cut to the third quarter. This leaves the dollar exposed to downward pressure, especially if inflation were to slow further in the meantime. In summary, this week offers extremely interesting scenarios for Forex traders. Institutional flows seem to favor alternative currencies to the dollar, while sentiment remains fragile on GBP and CAD. AUD, NZD and JPY emerge as potential winners, at least until new macro developments or significant technical breaks. The watchword is: selection. With volatility on the rise and the geopolitical context rapidly evolving, only those who know how to read the movements of central banks and institutions in advance will be able to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the markets.

FED: less than 5% probability of a rate cut on July 301) The US labor market remains resilient according to the latest NFP report, which is good news for the macro-economic situation The US labor market demonstrated its resilience last week, making a rate cut by the FED on Wednesday July 30 unlikely: the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% of the labor force, after several months of stability around 4.2%. This drop in unemployment suggests that, despite two years of monetary tightening and current macro-economic uncertainties, the US economy continues to show resilience in its ability to create jobs. This is good news for economic growth, but it delays the FED's next rate cut. By clicking on the link below, you can reread our S&P 500 analysis proposed following the latest NFP report update last Thursday. 2) The probability of a rate cut on July 30 reduced to almost zero, barring any huge surprises between now and then on inflation, employment or trade diplomacy Up until now, most investors were expecting an earlier decision, as early as July 30, at the next meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee. But cautious communication from Fed officials tempered these expectations. Jerome Powell and several governors reiterated that they would wait for “sustainable” evidence of a return of inflation to the 2% target before committing themselves. The fall in the unemployment rate to 4.1% introduces a nuance: it confirms that the economy is not contracting sharply, allowing the Fed to wait a few more weeks without taking the risk of slowing growth more than necessary. At the same time, the latest consumer confidence indicators and manufacturing activity data suggest a gentle slowdown, closer to a controlled landing than a halt. Note that this week's Wednesday July 9 deadline for trade agreements will reveal more about the future impact of tariffs on inflation, and this will further alter the FED's monetary policy expectations. When these lines are written, the probability of a FED pivot on July 30 is less than 5%. 3) Here are the fundamental dates that will be decisive between now and the FED's monetary choice on Wednesday July 30 Wednesday July 9: the current deadline for trade diplomacy between the USA and its main trading partners. The final amount of tariffs will be decisive for US inflation expectations. Tuesday July 15: US CPI inflation , the last major US inflation figure to be updated before the FED's monetary policy decision on July 30. Initial and ongoing weekly US jobless claims are published on the Thursday of each week and will have an impact on the likelihood of the FED's action on July 30, but only marginally. Barring exceptional events, it is therefore unlikely that the FED will resume cutting the federal funds rate on July 30. The next PCE and NFP are due after the FED (July 31 and August 1) and will therefore have an impact on the FED's monetary policy decision on September 17.

Howmet Aerospace: Navigating Geopolitics to New Heights?Howmet Aerospace (HWM) has emerged as a formidable player in the aerospace sector, demonstrating exceptional resilience and growth amidst global uncertainties. The company's robust performance, marked by record revenues and significant earnings per share increases, stems from dual tailwinds: surging demand in commercial aerospace and heightened global defense spending. Howmet's diversified portfolio, which includes advanced engine components, fasteners, and forged wheels, positions it uniquely to capitalize on these trends. Its strategic focus on lightweight, high-performance parts for fuel-efficient aircraft like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A320neo, alongside critical components for defense programs such as the F-35 fighter jet, underpins its premium market valuation and investor confidence. The company's trajectory is deeply intertwined with the prevailing geopolitical landscape. Escalating international rivalries, particularly between the U.S. and China, coupled with regional conflicts, are driving an unprecedented surge in global military expenditures. European defense budgets are expanding significantly, fueled by the conflict in Ukraine and broader security concerns, leading to increased demand for advanced military hardware incorporating Howmet’s specialized components. Simultaneously, while commercial aviation navigates challenges like airspace restrictions and volatile fuel costs, the imperative for fuel-efficient aircraft, driven by both environmental regulations and economic realities, solidifies Howmet’s role in the industry’s strategic evolution. Howmet's success also reflects its adept navigation of complex geostrategic challenges, including trade protectionism. The company has proactively addressed potential tariff impacts, demonstrating a capacity to mitigate risks through strategic clauses and renegotiation, thereby protecting its supply chain and operational efficiency. Despite its premium valuation, Howmet’s strong fundamentals, disciplined capital allocation, and commitment to shareholder returns highlight its financial health. The company's innovative solutions, crucial for enhancing the performance and cost-effectiveness of next-generation aircraft, solidify its integral position within the global aerospace and defense ecosystem, making it a compelling consideration for discerning investors.

Mastering Risk Management: The Trader’s Real EdgeYou’ve all heard it, “Cut your losses and let your winners run.” Simple words — but living by them is what separates survivors from blown accounts. Here’s some tips on how to approach risk management when trading: ☑️ Risk is always predefined: Before I click Buy or Sell, I know exactly how much I’m willing to lose. If you don’t define risk upfront, the market will do it for you. ☑️ Position sizing: Never risk more than 1–2% of your account per trade. Small losses mean you can keep taking high‑probability setups without fear. ☑️ Always use a stop‑loss: No stop? You’re not trading — you’re gambling. ☑️ Stop‑loss discipline: Place stops where the market proves you wrong — not where it “feels comfortable.” Then leave them alone. ☑️ Focus on risk/reward, not win rate: A 40% win rate can still be profitable if your average reward outweighs your risk. ☑️ Risk/reward ratio: Only take trades with at least a 2:1 or 3:1 potential. You don’t need to win every trade — your winners should pay for your losers (and more). Remember: “It’s not about being right all the time. It’s about not losing big when you’re wrong.” Risk management won’t make your trades perfect — but it will keep you trading tomorrow. And in this game, staying in the game is everything. 💭 How do you handle risk in your trading? Drop your strategy or tip in the comments — let’s share and learn together! 👇 Thanks again for all the likes/boosts, we appreciate the support! All the best for a good week ahead. Trade safe.

GBP/USD Pulls Back After Rejection – Buyers Eye Lower LevelsHi everyone, GBP/USD failed to break above the 1.37500 level and saw a rejection from that resistance, dropping further below the 1.36850 support. Since then, price has consolidated and ranged beneath this level. Looking ahead, if price remains within this range, we anticipate a move lower to find buying interest between the 1.35300 and 1.34600 levels, which could set the stage for another push higher. As previously noted, a decisive break above 1.37500 would renew our expectation for further upside, with the next key target around 1.38400. We'll be monitoring price action closely to see how it unfolds. We’ll continue to provide updates on the projected path for GBP/USD as price approaches this target. The longer-term outlook remains bullish, and we expect the rally to continue extending further from the 1.20991 January low towards 1.40000 and 1.417000. We’ll be keeping you updated throughout the week with how we’re managing our active ideas. Thanks again for all the likes/boosts, comments and follows — we appreciate the support! All the best for the week ahead. Trade safe. BluetonaFX

Opportunity Beneath the Fear: SPY's Reversal SetupIn the Shadow of Headlines: SPY’s Drop Could Be 2025’s Big Opportunity As markets react sharply to renewed tariff fears and Trump-related headlines, SPY continues its descent. Panic is setting in—but behind the noise, a strategic opportunity may be quietly forming. While many rush to exit, others are beginning to position for the bounce. A well-structured entry strategy could be key to turning uncertainty into gains. Entry Zone (Staggered): 🔹 543: First watch level—look for signs of slowing momentum. 🔹 515: Deeper entry point as the selloff extends. 🔹 <500 (TBD): Stay flexible—if panic accelerates, this could mark a generational setup. Profit Targets: ✅ 570: Initial rebound target. ✅ 590: Mid-range level if recovery builds. ✅ 610+: Full recovery potential—rewarding those with patience and vision. Remember: Headlines fade, but price action and preparation stay. This selloff may continue—but it might also be laying the foundation for 2025’s most powerful move. The key? Enter with discipline, protect your capital, and let the market come to you. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

4-Dimensional Investing: Evolving Beyond News, Charts, and Math 📚 4-Dimensional Investing: Evolving Beyond News, Charts, and Math Most people start learning about stocks in a 1-dimensional way — by following the news. But news is noisy. Some is fake, some is "buy the rumor, sell the fact", and sometimes the price moves the opposite of what the news suggests. So, many give up on news and turn to... 📊 2D: Technical Analysis (TA) TA has been around since the 1980s, when personal computers went mainstream. It's visual and intuitive — charts, lines, indicators. You see price action unfold on-screen and feel like you're deciphering the market in real time. Some traders even build entire systems off indicators like RSI, MACD, or moving averages. They think: "Aha! The chart did this, so next time I’ll do that." But often, "next time" doesn't work the same. TA is fundamentally historical — it's about pattern recognition and hoping history repeats. It’s like counting the color of every fallen leaf, trying to predict the next one. We needed something better. So the institutions turned to… 🧠 3D: Quantitative Modeling Enter the quants — physicists, mathematicians, engineers. They model the markets like rocket science using multi-dimensional equations. Think LTCM (Long-Term Capital Management), led by Nobel Prize winners. Quant models are more sophisticated than charts — they simulate human behavior with precision. But there's a problem: humans change. A model may work… until people start behaving differently. Markets are not just math. They’re psychology, emotion, fear, greed. Which brings us to the new frontier… 🤖 4D: AI-Powered, Language-Driven Investing This is where LLMs (Large Language Models) enter the game. People often ask me: “Why use LLMs for trading? Why not traditional ML like LSTM?” Here’s my answer: Markets are made of humans, and humans communicate through language. Not numbers. Not charts. Not just price. Now, with LLMs, we can: Analyze any human-created document (news, filings, tweets, speeches) Understand sentiment in real context Capture nuance — the stuff traditional models miss LLMs don’t just convert text to numbers. They learn meaning. This adds a fourth dimension to our trading models: language + reasoning + context + behavior. Underneath, it’s still powered by classic ML and deep learning. But now the machine can think more like a human — with intuition, memory, and adaptability. --- 🌐 The Future Is 4D Investing We're not saying this is the final answer to markets. But it’s a major leap forward. Trading is one of the hardest prediction problems in the world. And now we have a tool that bridges the gap between math and human behavior. Welcome to the era of 4D investing — Where the future of trading is built with language, context, and AI. Let’s explore it together in ⁠📖qs-academy. 🚀
