TRENDLINE TRADING | Advanced trading lesson Hello traders 👋
Today im sharing my trading strategy with trendlines. It's my first education post, so maybe a lot of mistakes. Please don't take it the wrong way, thank you.
Let's talk about lesson
What are Trend lines?
Trend lines are diagonal lines that are drawn on charts in the financial markets trading. Trend lines are used to highlight , visualize , and make price action easier to analyze on different instruments and assets in the financial market.
How to trade And Use Trend Lines + basic supports.
1. Wait for touch ⌛
When drawing a trendline, the first thing price is check the three times or more. If the price is not checked three times or less, can't draw trendline.
2. Draw ✏️
To draw a trend line, you must choose a time frame. I'm use always bigger than 1 hour timeframe . This is because you want to find the price action for a longer period and not just some light movement.
3. The Basics of Support and Resistance + key levels ✔️
When trading with trend lines, the concept is applied in order to maximise the chances of winning trades.
4. Looking for entry + risk management 💰
Always wait for confirm example; trend line break + price making lower low + pullback + add indicators
🤲 If you like my strategy, Please like and comments. 🤲
Thank you!

ETH 2.0 Merge Upgrade Detailed and Release DataHello all traders and investors.
according to go approch ETH 2.0 Merge upgrade
Today i decide to explain more about that and tell you more
about wahts going to happen.
I try to explain as simple as possible
Whithout killing time lets go...
What is The Merge?
The Merge represents the joining of the existing execution layer of Ethereum (the Mainnet we use today)
with its new proof-of-stake consensus layer, the Beacon Chain.
It eliminates the need for energy-intensive mining and instead secures the network using staked ETH.
A truly exciting step in realizing the Ethereum vision – more scalability, security, and sustainability.
It's important to remember that initially, the Beacon Chain shipped separately from Mainnet.
Ethereum Mainnet - with all it's accounts, balances, smart contracts, and blockchain state - continues to be secured
by proof-of-work, even while the Beacon Chain runs in parallel using proof-of-stake.
The approaching Merge is when these two systems finally come together, and proof-of-work is replaced permanently by proof-of-stake.
Merging with Mainnet
Since genesis, proof-of-work has secured Mainnet.
This is the Ethereum blockchain we're all used to—it contains every transaction, smart contract, and balance since it began in July 2015.
Throughout Ethereum's history, developers have been hard at work preparing for an eventual transition away from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake.
On December 1, 2020, the Beacon Chain was created, which has since existed as a separate blockchain to Mainnet, running in parallel.
The Beacon Chain has not been processing Mainnet transactions.
Instead, it has been reaching consensus on its own state by agreeing on active validators and their account balances.
After extensive testing, the Beacon Chain's time to reach consensus on more is rapidly approaching.
After The Merge, the Beacon Chain will be the consensus engine for all network data, including execution layer transactions and account balances.
The Merge represents the official switch to using the Beacon Chain as the engine of block production.
Mining will no longer be the means of producing valid blocks.
Instead, the proof-of-stake validators assume this role and will be responsible for processing the validity of all transactions and proposing blocks.
No history is lost. As Mainnet gets merged with the Beacon Chain, it will also merge the entire transactional history of Ethereum.
You don't need to do anything. Your funds are safe.
What do I need to do to get ready?
You do not need to do anything to protect your funds entering The Merge.
As a user or holder of ETH or any other digital asset on Ethereum, as well as non-node-operating stakers,
you do not need to do anything with your funds or wallet before The Merge.
Despite swapping out proof-of-work, the entire history of Ethereum since genesis remains intact and unaltered after the transition to proof-of-stake.
Any funds held in your wallet before The Merge will still be accessible after The Merge. No action is required to upgrade on your part.
Take away from scammers after the Merge:
As we approach The Merge of Ethereum Mainnet, you should be on high alert for scams trying to take advantage of users during this transition.
Do not send your ETH anywhere in an attempt to "upgrade to ETH2."
There is no "ETH2" token, and there is nothing more you need to do for your funds to remain safe.
Ethereum Merge Date
The Ethereum merge date and transition to proof-of-stake is expected to take place on September 19, 2022.
We have some Testnet examination before Merge.
I list them for you below:
- Goerli/Prater client releases 27th or 28th of July.
- Announce 28th/29th.
- Prater Bellatrix on the 8th of August
- Goerli Merge on the 11th.
- ACD 18th August plan mainnet Merge:
- Bellatrix early september;
Merge two weeks later (week of Sept 19th).
and additionally i attached a Technical Analysis for ETH/USDT
After we surpass 1700 Resistance , we reach 1800 now and we pass it too.
now we are on road to strong 2000 resistance and after that 2400.
According too incredible happenings for ETH 2.0 and the U.S. inflation record
a peak i think we will see this levels in coming days.
Additionally we see 3 strong candle patterns on 1800 breaked Resistance
1 - Marobuzu Candle
2 - Morning star pattern
3 - Bullish Engulfing
Like i show on the chart.
These patterns are showing a strong demand in this zone.
Hope you enjoy this article.
please share me your opinions in comments
and i want for all of you a lot of profits.
thanks for reading.
5 BIG MISTAKES TRADERS MAKE!Hey traders,
I've had the privilege to have been involved in trading, both retail trading and working within a prop firm for many years. The biggest benefit I get, is to work with so many different traders with so many different strategies, personalities, timeframes, assets, you name it. I've probably worked with a trader that trades it. Now, there's a few things that are extremely common in all traders, regardless of what or how they are trading. It's the same mistakes that keep making traders fail. So today, I'm going to explain what five of these mistakes are and how to avoid them. I will also discuss how to incorporate them to ensure that you don't get hit by the stone wall that many traders do. If you have any extra information to add, please do so in the comments. I look forward to hearing from you all.
TRADING WITHOUT A PLAN
This right here is the biggest one and this is usually for the early beginners or even strategy jumpers. You must have a plan. That is non negotiable if you ever want to see some kind of consistency in training. I can tell you from experience, both personally and with working with traders from firms, that the more in depth that plan is, the better chance of success. The same way you create a business plan before launching a new endeavor. The same way you create a game plan for your team before you go out and verse the opponent. The same way politicians plan out their PR campaigns before running for office. You must have a thorough trading plan.
A plan can consist of a multitude of different things, from understanding what you're willing to lose, understanding overall position size, understanding your trading strategy, minimizing drawdowns, maximizing profits, the assets you are trading, the times you're going to be trading, how much time you actually going to be allocating to trading and setting up goals. A trading plan must be thorough, so you can not only track your progress, but when you start getting unmotivated or confused, you have something to look back on to realign you with where you are and where you want to be.
My final advice with your trading plan is stick to it. You will have bad trading days. You will have bad trading weeks. You will have bad trading months. Stick to your plan.
OVERTRADING
We've all been there. It's the start of a trading session. We've opened two positions. They've both gone on to be fantastic winners. You're unstoppable. Nothing can possibly go wrong from this point. You have mastered the markets. You are the best trader the world has ever seen. So what do you do? You open another seven positions because it's just free money on the table. And what happens? All seven of those positions lose, wiping off your original profit and some. This is so common in beginner traders. It's that aspect of unpredictability that they forget about in the markets.
Trading too much too soon is a serious issue and it needs to be worked on as soon as possible. I understand the excitement of being live in the markets, the excitement of the profits you could earn day today, but the reality of the situation is if your brand new. Trading too much is going to be a serious issue. What sitting back watching and not trading does is not only increases your patience, but also allows you to analyze the markets in a clearer state of mind, making your future decisions a whole level ahead.
Add that into the plan, give yourself a maximum number of positions per day if you are new. Trust me, it's going to help you progress.
FAILING TO CUT LOSSES
I've spoken about this a lot, especially in one of my recent webinars. A lot of traders are taught the whole set an forget method, and I'm not a big fan of it, but in some circumstances I won't lie. Yes, it does work. But a lot of the time, these trade ideas that they're in there actually give massive warning signals prior to hitting the stop loss that they are going to do that. The trader could have cut those losses a lot shorter. Now don't even get me started on traders that don't use a stop loss. What I wanted to do really in this segment is dive into the emotional side of failing to cut a loss.
It's true. I remember experiencing it early on my trading career, that feeling of when a trades going against you, but you did all the analysis, so it shouldn't be going against you. So what do you do? You hold on with hope and temptation that it will turn for the better. The reality of the situation is in very, very rarely does. It's a horrible feeling because some traders are prone to even giving those trades more room, adding to the position, moving there stop loss, removing their stop loss altogether. Everything you shouldn't be doing in the time that your analysis is going against you, most traders lean towards because they done all the research they needed to do and they cannot comprehend bring wrong.
The best way to battle this feeling, if you've ever felt it or still to this day feel that urge, is going back to number one. Trading with a plan. Have a plan. Risk management plans are the greatest things ever. We can plan for the absolute worst so when it does come in and everyone's going manic everywhere, we know exactly what to do, where to be and how to position ourselves. This will help you learn to cut those losses.
NOT UNDERSTANDING LEVERAGE
The world changed times are changing. You can access any type of information or access pretty much any type of market you want at the click of a button by the glorious internet. Same goes with trading is probably how most of you have gotten here, or even just into trading as a whole. The thing is, we reach out to these brokers and we open accounts with small amounts of money and they offer us great deals like 300 hundred or even 500 to 1 leverage.
That means with $1000 account, you can open $500,000 of currency. Now, the reality of the situation is most traders will never use all of that leverage. But as a result is that most trade is also wouldn't have experienced a no money call when opening a position, or perhaps a margin call, or a true understanding of when they put in 0.5 lots of EURUSD, what they are actually doing. Leverage is a great tool. Fantastic tool. When used correctly. Working at the firm, had so many traders reach out. They keep getting an error code. They say, "I can't open this position!? WHY!?!" and it's all because they don't have the margin requirements to actually open that position and it is alarming to see how many traders don't fully understand what leverages and margin is considering they have used it for years.
When you open a position of 0.5 lots on a U.S. dollar currency pair, for example, UUSDJPY. You are opening a position size of $50,000. You have just entered a $50,000 position. That means you are actively managing $50,000 while you are in that position. Let that sink in. Now that's just a position of 0.5 lots. There is traders pit there trading 10-100 lots and it is just baffling to understand the amount of risk there actually taking in accordance to their account size.
Do your research. Understand your position size and when you're doing your trading journal. Instead of doing lot sizes in your trading journal, I recommend you do actual position size, value. That will give you a much better understanding on the risk you undertake when you take positions and also if you can, lower your leverage. You don't need 500:1.
BEING ABLE TO ACCEPT LOSSES
Now this is a fun one and this is what I really wanted to chat about. Being able to accept losses can be one of the most damaging things a beginner trader can ever have, because what happens is they lose the value and respect that the market can take their money. Every market "guru" and every trading course out there tells you to remove emotion from the equation, accept that losses are gonna be a thing, and trade knowing that. Now most people go, "OK, let's do that." and surprisingly, they actually managed to pull it off. Which actually creates a bigger problem. They become reckless. They no longer care if there's a little bit of parameters different from their trading plan. They no longer care if there's key indicators that the trade idea is wrong because, "we're going to have losses. So what? This one might as well be one. If you're not in the market, you're not going to make money." they become reckless.
Do not remove emotion from your trading. Incorporate emotion into your trading and once again this results back to the first tip. Trade. With. A. Plan.
Traders, that is all for me today. These are five things that I've noticed in struggling traders which seemed to be a common recurrence. Thank you for your time. I hope you enjoy the read. As always, have a fantastic trading week.

Shorting AUD/USD on the basis of S&R !! #ShortShorting AUD/USD on the basis of S&R !!
This trade is for Educational Purpose only.
The Goal is to highlight the importance of Support & Resistance zones (S&R) and how can Weak and Strong zones be identified.
Support & Resistance (S&R) can play vital roles when it comes to trading. Most traders use S&R in order to look for precise entries and exits.
The Pair has been Bouncing off from zone Marked in Red which acted as Support earlier. The Support was tested four times.. Soon it was broken with strong Bearish Candle. The more touches/bounces the Support zone had, the weaker it got and as a result it got broken. Often time Support acts as Resistance zones and Vice versa . It is important to note that S&R can act as a strong Confluence but trading just on the basis of it alone can be dangerous. Using other Confluences such as Market Structure, Divergences and Chart Patterns such as Double Top/Bottom are equally important. Since Trading is the game of Probability, it is Essential to have more than One Confluence.
The Trade Plan:
The trade plan is to Short AUD/USD, once it re-tests the broken support zone which is now likely to Act as Resistance.
Note: Take this trade after doing on your own analysis.
Target:
Target is set on the basis of Fibonacci Re-tracement which comes in between 0.618 & 0.5.
Stop Loss:
Stop Loss is simply set on the basis of 1:3 Risk to Reward Ratio.
Time Frame used:
1H
Analysis based on:
- Market Structure
- Support & Resistance.
- Fibonacci Retracement tool .. used for setting Target
Four trader types. Which type are you?New traders are often confused which trading style to pursue. If you too have the same dilemma, this article is for you. It is imperative to pick a trading style that best suits your personality before you start navigating the market. Without a technique, you will get confused and may end up with huge losses. Your adopted style must depend on your financial goal, risk tolerance, time that you can invest daily to follow the market, and several other similar factors. So, you must learn about the different trading techniques to make an informed choice. In this article, we will discuss four trading styles. So, keep reading.
1. Scalping Traders
Scalping is a trading style that is employed to earn from small price changes to make profits that add up.
Scalpers trade frequently and in small successions.
A scalp trader needs to have a strict exit policy because one large loss could eliminate all the small profits he has made in the other deals.
Scalp trading, therefore, needs discipline, decisiveness, and stamina. With these qualities and the right tools, you can become a successful scalp trader.
2 Day Traders
Day traders, as their name implies, work on a day-by-day basis.
At the end of every day, a day trader will close out all of his or her trade positions, opting not to leave anything running overnight.
Day traders are known for high volume trading and focusing on technical patterns rather than relying on data analysis.
Success, for a day trader, means ending the day with no open positions and a profit relative to the beginning of the session.
3. Position Traders
Position traders hold his or her position over longer time periods: weeks, months, or even years.
They are less interested in the short term price fluctuations, instead they pay attention to weekly or monthly price action analysis.
They adhere more strictly to fundamental models, closely watching for announcements such as earnings reports, interest rate, CPI, etc.
They tend to hold fewer trade positions, sometimes only a handful a year.
4. Swing Traders
Somewhere in between day and position traders are swing traders, who make a profit by holding a position anywhere from overnight to several weeks.
As their name implies, these traders buy when the market begins to show a swing upwards and sell when this price swing stops.
Swing traders have a blended approach to fundamentals analysis and patterns; they’ll look at macroeconomic as well as day-to-day trends
Traders of this kind are known to place positions in liquid currency pairs like the pound and the dollar.

How to properly use Pivot Points in your tradingA flaw many traders have is the habit of seeking “certainty” via indicators. It’s not uncommon to see charts with 5-7 indicators overlaid on them. However, the traders that seek certainty through indicators are usually the same traders that don’t “dig deep” into the indicator to understand how it’s built.
Today we will “dig deep” into a very useful indicator that can generate significant reference points. This indicator is useful for pinpointing entry levels, stop loss levels, and profit targets.
Pivot Points: from pit to platform
A little-known fact is that Pivot Points originated differently to other indicators. Contrary to most technical indicators, they originated within trading pits of equity and futures exchanges. This pragmatic origin is perhaps the reason why Pivot Points remain one of the most useful indicators out there.
To properly understand Pivot Points, we need to explore how they are calculated.
Note that Pivot Points can be calculated for any time horizon. Traditionally, pivots were calculated based on daily data. However, within FX this might not be the best way to employ them. But more on this later. For now, let’s start by understanding how daily Pivot Points are calculated.
The Pivot Points formula
P = Central Pivot Point = (Previous Day High + Previous Day Low + Previous Day Close)/3
R1 = Central Pivot * 2 – Previous Day Low
S1 = Central Pivot * 2 – Previous Day High
R2 = Central Pivot – S1 + R1
S2 = Central Pivot – R1 – S1
R3 = Central Pivot – S2 + R2
S3 = Central Pivot – R2 – S2
Pivots can help you sell high and buy low
If there is one principle that most traders know but tend to neglect, it’s “buy low and sell high”. However, the concepts of “high” and “low” are relative and not absolute. With Pivot Points—along with their statistical edge—we can define high and low in a very robust way.
You know that the odds can be in your favour if you are a buyer at S1. If price rallies past the central pivot and reaches R1, you might want to take some risk off the table. This is because R1 is often the high for the day.
The same rationale goes for S2 and R2. If price exceeds S1 and reaches S2, the odds can be tilted in your favour. Buying at S2 with a target at R1 is another solid way to exploit the statistical edge of Pivot Points.
Adapting Pivots to the FX market structure
One key difference in FX that throws some people off-balance is that there isn’t a centralised market open and close. In reality, three main money centres operate during a 24-hour period.
What this means is that there are actually three “market opens and closes”.
The Asia/Pacific session: The majority of turnover in this time zone takes place in Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Typically, there will be exporters and regional central banks active in this session. However, the liquidity is nowhere near as deep as it is during London or New York. As such, the price action is not usually as interesting as it is during the other sessions.
The London session: This is still the most important session of the day, for geographical reasons above all else. Along with London, other European financial centres are active—Frankfurt, Geneva, and Paris. That’s why large corporate flows activity takes place during this session and contributes to the deep liquidity that London benefits from
The New York session: The Forex market experiences its peak in turnover as London passes the baton onto New York. However, whereas the London session tends to be trendy, New York has much more volatility and chop. Therefore, the best trading strategies to deploy change significantly. After noon in New York, liquidity starts to dry up quickly.
What’s next?
Pivot Points can be a versatile technical tool to help ascertain potential supports and resistances.
If nothing else, Pivot Points allow you to walk into any given session—day, week, or month—ready and prepared to react to the market’s movements. Being prepared already puts you in an advantageous position.
Is mindset holding you back 🤔Trading can be a rollercoaster of emotions.
Many traders are unaware of when their state of mind leads to underperforming trades and why it happens.
We are all different and unique when it comes to trading, and understanding the type of trader you are is essential to your success.
Traders can spend a lot of time studying technical indicators and strategies, but understanding the psychology driving your trading decisions is just as important.
The first starting point of getting on the right path in regards to trading psychology and emotions is by having the right one of two mindset choices.
There's two mindsets which will effect your trading results and progress massively.
They are 'Growth mindset' and 'Fixed mindset'
Of those two mindsets there is only a place for one when it comes to trading and that is 'GROWTH MINDSET'
The graphic on chart shows the difference between the two mindsets.
If you can't ditch the 'Fixed mindset ' you will never be able to progress in trading.
No matter how great of a trader you think you are, or how well you think you handle your emotions.
It's impossible to remove them from the equation completely when trading.
When emotions are combined with a 'Fixed mindset' mentality however you are going to feel emotional pain and loss of money when it comes to your trading.
Once you have learned to recognise your mindset, you can then begin the next important step of switching to the ' Growth mindset '
People with a ' Fixed mindset ' believe they are born with a certain amount of intelligence and that it is fixed for the rest of their lives.
People with a 'Growth mindset ' however know that intelligence is not fixed and that you can in effect grow your brain.
They see their traits as just a starting point and know that these can be developed by hard work, effort, dedication and challenge.
Having a growth mindset can improve your progress and attainment and this is crucial in being successful as a trader.
The brain can be developed like a muscle, changing and growing stronger the more it is used.
Your abilities are also very much like muscles they need training in order to perform at their peak.
You can learn how to do anything you want to do and you can get better at whatever that is with time and consistent practice.
Even if you have what you perceive to be a talent or ability for something, if you never practice that talent or ability you simply will never improve.
Applying this theory to your trading game will help you grow not just your accounts but as a person also.
Get that 'Growth mindset' and start believing in your ability to change.
Thanks for looking.

Why is a workplace important in trading?Why is a workplace important in trading?
Trading is such a small life that you live every day by opening a chart and an exchange. And above all, you must live this life with dignity. And in order not to break down, not to burn out, to save your nerve cells, it is important to devote time, first of all, to psychology.
Your workspace
It is important that you feel comfortable working. Nothing should cause you negative emotions, remove all irritants: wipe the dust, remove all unnecessary, leaving only those things that you use daily.
You should sit down at the workplace and get maximum satisfaction, everything should be as comfortable.
You need to achieve maximum comfort, pay attention to what you are sitting on. Chair or office chair, choose it according to your height, back position, soft or hard, leather or velor.
Customize the location of the monitor, mouse, keyboard or laptop in general.
Use the speakers you need to play your favorite music in the background.
Why is it so important? Because even the slightest irritants can affect your work on the crypto exchange.
For example, you got a loss, at the same moment the cup with your cold coffee fell and now after 30 seconds - you are furious at everything around, and next time you start open random positions and get more and more loses.
How to build a workflow?
After you have prepared the workplace, you need to prepare the work itself.
First, decide on the time. You need to draw up a trading schedule. You should not sit 24/7, tremble over the charts and follow every candle, except for overtrading. Yes, it will be difficult to choose the time for yourself right away. Highly recommend you to watch my video about trading styles.
Create best workflow on exchange or trading view! Add favorite tool which you use all the time. Time charts, crypto lists colors, background, and all this small things. Ill make another video with trading view setups.
But who knows you better than yourself? That's right, nobody. Therefore, think about how you will be more comfortable.
Next, we need to determine in ourselves those things that can interfere with trade. For example: you are very sensitive to money, every penny counts. You may need to work on your relationship with money. Maybe we should not overestimate their importance. After all, this can be detrimental to emotional health in the future.
Or you are an extremely gambling person, like disputes, get adrenaline from the process itself. In this case, you should think about how you will deal with excitement while trading.
After all, I already told you that trading is a small life. The crypto exchange is not a place of fulfillment of desires. This is the battlefield.
And in conclusion, I want to add to the preparation:
Pay attention to the chart, set the colors and tools that are convenient for you in the trading view and on the exchange itself.
Get a notepad. Write everything down the first time. All observations, all transactions, all emotions, all flaws. Write absolutely everything there, every day.
Write yourself a checklist, add to it everything that prevents you from working and hang it in front of the monitor. Every morning, before you sit down for a chart, see if the conditions are right.
For example: excellent mood, no headache or other pain, slept well, concentrated. All urgent matters are done so that nothing distracts you, etc.
And most importantly, be self-disciplined.

Danger of TradingHello trader!
Welcome back to another episode with Analyst Aadil1000x.
Today I am here to show you some stories that many traders don't know that can also happen to them and many traders can also relate these stories with them. You will only see success stories on the internet and that's only 1% truth.
Have you not seen how much tough the market is? If you are not working very hard then there is no way to win because this is the toughest business in the whole world.
A person can understand better if the situation is told in a story that's why to make you understand I am sharing some stories.
First story.
There was a guy who was living in my city. He started forex trading and he got some lucky shots and made a small amount of money but he didn't know that this happens to all new traders, LOL. Once he made money he thought making money is as easy as opening an account but he lost 50,000 USD and not only that what he did later will scare you. He used all of his father's retirement fund and sold the house and lost everything in forex. He lost almost 600,000 USD.
To recover the amount he started to put more money. He wanted a fight with the market. From me, you will always listen that we will move with the market. Normally people say kill the market or will beat the market. You can't do that. The mindset of moving with the market is the only option to win.
Second Story
There was a guy who started trading and with little experience, he started to trade on borrowed money and he lost almost 60K and now he has a debt that he can't even pay.
Never trade from borrowed money if you have little experience or your strategy is not perfect. The chances of your winning are -100%.
Third story
It's a story of a girl living in another country whose monthly salary was 2500 pounds. She was trading different options and she lost 200,000 pounds in a year. Again whose money was that? It was her parent's money and she used that without telling them.
She was trading with untested methods. When she figured out something new she start to put money into a new method and she kept changing methods and losing all the time.
There are many stories that I hear every week with losses with more than they have earned in their life. So don't do these types of mistakes. If you are a new trader then trade only 20$ and grow it to 100$ and make notes of the strategy. If you make it possible then you can be a successful trader.
REASON BEHIND YOUR LOSS
One main reason behind the loss is WRONG knowledge on the internet. Even if you search for the most popular post, it has 5000+ like and it has more than a dozen images and he is guiding how to trade. The surprising thing is out of 12 images all 12 images are wrong and it's the most popular post. How is that possible that 100% of the guidance is wrong? Even he can give one correct direction by mistake but he failed to give one direction correct even by mistake. That's how tough the market is. Even so-called experts don't know what they are doing.
The reason behind all wrong is that he learned it online and taught the fake knowledge to many traders and it keeps continuing..
Imagine millions of traders losing without knowing their mistakes. When they lose they go back to the same information read it carefully and try to do the same thing in the best way possible and they still lose because they are using never working methods.
You have to work very very hard to move with the market. I worked really hard and formed some working methods and I know that those who don't know exactly what's happening in the market have little chance of survival.
Don't forget to give some boost and follow to stay connected.
Domino principe in crypto marketBINANCE:BTCUSDT
Let's start with what the S&P500 is.
The S&P 500 is a stock market index made up of 500 large companies whose total shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or NASDAQ.
The NASDAQ index - trades over 3,000 stocks. This exchange specialises in stocks of high-tech companies
I will not torture you with charts, but I will tell you why the classical stock market indices affect the cryptocurrency. Correlation of the cryptocurrency and stock market.
The S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices include stocks of technology companies, incl. crypto companies. For example, Coinbase Global , Riot Blockchain , etc. In other words, their indicator reflects the state of the entire sector of the economy.
Cryptocurrencies are highly correlated with US technology stocks, as they belong to the same class - risky instruments.
They are bought, counting on a strong price increase, and sold at the slightest signal of impending problems. And inflation and geopolitical uncertainty motivate to seek protection in safe-haven assets.
In April, the US reported inflation of 8.3% (money is depreciating, prices for goods and services are rising), the main reason is that they have printed too much money, the national currency has to be strengthened. All this immediately affected the stock and crypto markets. Bitcoin was the first to react. Based on this, we can build a chain of influence: world events / inflation > stock market > bitcoin > altcoin > panic around stables.
Panic is subject to the Domino principle. One event affects another, causing a chain reaction, and everything gradually tends to destruction. We will try to illustrate this principle.
Following the record crash of the $LUNA Terra token and its $UST stablecoin, increased volatility has been seen across all stablecoins. Someone, as usual, knew everything in advance. Back in April, there were many articles about how Terra has a weak algorithm and can easily play the death spiral scenario. The bottom line: “If the price of $LUNA comes under pressure, $UST holders may fear that the $UST peg is under threat and decide to buy out their UST positions. To do this, $UST is burned, and $LUNA is minted and sold on the market. This will further exacerbate the fall in the price of $LUNA, pushing more $UST holders to sell their $UST.”
There are many theories about the group of people behind this pressure. It boils down mainly to the fact that pressure is exerted in order to regulate the crypt. This is not so important. The trouble is that the system failed, and if this is possible within the framework of the "game rules", but it does not matter by what method this was achieved, it would have happened sooner or later.
Investigation to be! The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating the decoupling of UST from the dollar. And in the United States, they pass a law on the regulation of stablecoins by the end of 2022.
The situation with LUNA put the strongest pressure on the market, $UST was shaking for several days until it completely died, the situation escalated, panic attacks seized all sectors of the market, the domino principle was launched.
USDT ≠ UST ?
What does stable mean? $USDT is backed by fiat dollar reserves and assets. Those. For every $USDT, there is a real $1 US. This distinguishes $USDT from algorithmic $UST.
Part of the securities backed by $USDT is related to the Chinese real estate sector, which is in crisis. If these securities depreciate, then the peg may lose the rate 1:1.
And this fear has been around for a long time, so Tether is reducing the share of commercial paper, increasing the share of the real dollar.
In February 2021, Tether agreed to provide reports as part of the settlement of allegations of covering up the loss of funds and lying about the state of the reserves.
As of March 31, Tether had assets of at least $82.4 billion, as well as $82.2 billion of liabilities related to the digital tokens it issued.
But this does not change the reasons for the shorts, because the specific sources of commercial paper have not been disclosed.
Do not forget that during a general panic, fear provokes fear, each event causes two more, all this grows exponentially, and someone is sure to profit from it, this is the golden law.
After analyzing the current situation, I can note a lot:
Stablecoins, not so stable. If not backed by real $, and even here you can bet.
You can’t panic, otherwise volatility is inevitable, and sometimes you can even make money on it.
Be vigilant, remembering that panic takes over everyone. At such times, risk is everywhere, analyze what you are doing and be careful.
A crisis is a difficult time, on the other hand, it is a time of opportunity.
Study what you invest in, these are market conditions.
The cryptocurrency market is directly related to the stock market. First of all, the stock market affects Bitcoin .
Is it really that bad?
Cryptocurrency has already experienced difficult times. The market cannot go up all the time, the current situation is quite natural. But it was at such times that the most significant projects of the sphere were born and developed on the market.
Collective panic cant strongly shake the market, any token and even shake $USDT. Don't despair, we are in the right place.

Some cool features on Tradingview!Many times we search for holy grail strategies that works and we tend to ignore some little stuffs that can help us defeat that 'Goliath', the giant market. We all know that there's no such thing as a 'holy grail' strategy. There are only certain things (simple things) that needs to be combined and when used well these can be good strategy to help us defeat that furious Goliath.
In this article I am going to discuss about some cool tradingview features which are important to every trader and which we should not dare ignore. You might be familiar with these or perhaps already use these in your day to day trading activity.
The first one is Alert.
This feature allows you to set alerts on certain levels of interest or price. Once the market reaches the price or level you specified you get notified immediately by visual popups, audio signals, email alerts and email-to-sms alerts. You can set alerts like, "Alert me if Bitcoin crosses above $25000."
You can set alerts on your trendline, indicators like moving average and once the market touches the desired level of your indicator you receive a notification. How cool is that!
Instead of you watching the chart 24/7 to wait for Bitcoin to reach $25000, you can set an alert on that level so you get notified once price reaches there. Why alerts relevant in trading? Just like you need alarm in the morning so you don't miss an important appointment, you need alerts so you don't miss important trading opportunities. Alerts have really helped me to focus on quality trades. All I do is set an alert in advance if I see that Gold will reach a strong support in few days, because there can be a lot of interruption. Once Gold reaches the support level I get notified.
Go have fun with your friends buddy, just set that alert and be notified once the market reaches your desired level.
The second feature is Replay
Replay tool on tradingview can be used to study past price action and trading history.
Why is this feature relevant?
Well, if you want to master your strategy one way to do is to study historical data or price action. With the replay tool it can allow you to go back moment in time and replay the same price action that occurred in the past. That way you can practice your strategy and see how you could have traded that market.
The third feature is News/Headlines
If you want to receive news and headlines of what is shaking the market then you should not ignore this feature. With just a click of a button you can view important headlines that is moving the market. What I find interesting about this is, the news or headlines you see is specified by the instrument that you are currently viewing on the chart. For example, if you are currently on EURUSD, once you click on the news icon, most of the headlines you will see there are those that will have a direct impact on that pair. How beautiful is that! Instead of you having to struggle to search for fundamental information affecting the market, this feature has everything you need to stay on top of financial news.
The last feature in this article is Screener.
Screener is a tool that can be used to scan and filter instruments based on market cap, dividend yield, volume to find top gainers and most volatile instruments.
Why is this important?
If you want to learn which instruments are gaining or weakening then the first place you need to go is to the screener. By looking at the stock screener it helps me gauge how the stock markets are doing thus it helps me have informed decision as to what to focus on and it helps me have strong conviction in my biased.
Do you use these tools in your trading?
Note: Some of these features you need to have a paid plan with tradingview for them to be enabled.
