How to Trade Christmas and New Year Winter Holidays As the winter holidays are already around the corner, you should know exactly when to stop trading and close your trades, and when to resume. In this article, you will learn how Christmas and New Year holidays affect the financial markets and I will share with you my trading schedule. First, let's discuss how winter holidays influence the markets. Winter holidays lead to a dramatic reduction in trading volumes. Many traders and investors take vacations in that period. Major financial institutions, banks, hedge funds often operate with reduced staffing and early closes or are completely close for holidays. All these factors inevitably lead to the diminished trading activity. Look at the schedule of official banking holidays in many countries. Since Tuesday 24th, the banks are officially closed in Europe, UK, USA and so on. But why should you care? If you have free time, why can't you continue trading? Even if you trade technical analysis, you should admit the fact the fundamentals are the main driver for significant price movements. One of the major sources of high impact fundamentals is the economic news releases in the economic calendar. Look at the economic calendar. You can see that the last day of high impact news releases will be Friday, December 20th. After that, the calendar is completely empty. The absence of impactful fundamentals will inevitably make the markets stagnate, making trading very boring. Above is the EURUSD price chart with ATR technical indicator (the one that measure the market volatility). We see a clear drop in volatility during a winter holiday season. You can behold a similar pattern on Gold chart. With the big politicians taking vacations during the holidays season, we tend to see the local easing of geological tensions accompanied by a lack of significant foreign and domestic policy actions and announcements. That's the US congressional calendar. There are no sessions since December 23rd. But there is one more reason why you should not trade during winter holidays. The absence of big players on the market will decrease the overall trading volumes - the liquidity. Lower liquidity will unavoidably increase the bid/ask spreads. The widened spreads will make trading more costly, especially if you are scalping or day trading. And when should you resume trading? It always depends on how actively the markets wake up after holidays. The minimal starting day will be January 6th. I usually do not trade this week and just watch how the markets starts moving. I prefer to begin my trading year from Monday next week, the January 13th. Holidays seasons will be the best period for you to do the back testing and learning. Pick a trading strategy that you want to trade with in a new year and sacrifice your time to back test it on different instruments. Learn important theory and various techniques, relax and prepare your self for a new trading season. Have a great time, traders! ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

When and Where this Bull Market Ends / BTC.D and TOTAL3 BehaviorCRYPTOCAP:BTC.D Bitcoin Dominance and Alt Season Trigger: The chart indicates that when Bitcoin Dominance reaches around 59%-64%, there’s a high chance of an BTC dominance market correction. This level often signals the end of a Bitcoin rally and the start of funds flowing into altcoins. You can use this dominance level as a timing signal to anticipate the start of the next alt season. Historical Patterns and Timelines: Key vertical markers show important dates from past cycles, such as 2018, 2021, and projected points for 2025. These points highlight recurring patterns that can help forecast the end of the current Bitcoin rally. TOTAL3 Index Trends Relative to BTC: The TOTAL3 index (all altcoins excluding BTC and ETH) shows that after Bitcoin Dominance declines, TOTAL3 often experiences a sharp rise. This pattern has repeated in previous cycles, hinting at a potential similar move in the upcoming alt season. Bitcoin Price Rallies and Corrections: The lower chart shows Bitcoin's bullish and bearish phases, typically lasting between 450 to 550 days. This timeframe can help estimate the remaining duration of the current Bitcoin rally. Future Predictions: Based on the chart, Bitcoin Dominance is expected to reach critical levels again in 2025, potentially marking the start of the next major alt season. While this timeline depends on market conditions and investor behavior, it offers a general framework.

Total3 dumping, BTC crash. The untold reason.You'll hear it all over Twitter and YouTube: "The FED scared investors, and they decided to pull their money out, blah blah." Let's be real—that's utter nonsense. Investors had no real reason to pull money out of altcoins. Where would they move it to? The real story lies with the whales manipulating CRYPTOCAP:BTC to trap the ones who sold their CRYPTOCAP:BTC too early.. Here’s what really happened: we had a mini altseason, where many CRYPTOCAP:BTC holders took profits and shifted into altcoins. This caused a pump in CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3 and a drop in BTC.D. But then, to punish these moves and siphon off profits, the whales decided to crash CRYPTOCAP:BTC , conveniently using the FOMC as a cover. If you sold CRYPTOCAP:BTC at, say, 100k and moved into riskier assets like SEED_DONKEYDAN_MARKET_CAP:FLOKI , SEED_DONKEYDAN_MARKET_CAP:BONK , or CRYPTOCAP:UNI , the whales made you lose 40%-50% of your capital by dumping CRYPTOCAP:BTC just 10%. Where did that lost value go? Straight into their pockets. I know people who thought they were being clever, saying, "This is the peak; I'm moving to alts for x2 or x3 gains." Now they’ve lost 50% and are kicking themselves, wishing they’d never sold their $BTC. This isn’t random. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a coordinated play to vacuum up the profits from anyone thinking they could outsmart the system. DYOR.

Unlocking the Wheat Matrix: The Code to Dominating CommoditiesUnlocking the Wheat Matrix: The Code to Dominating Commodities What if I told you there is a way to see the hidden signals of the market? To move not with the herd but ahead of it, where clarity reigns and profits follow. This week, we delve into Wheat (ZW) — a market where the COT strategy reveals its secrets. The choice is yours: read on and learn, or remain blind to the patterns all around you. Decoding the Setup Understand this: this is not an invitation to blindly leap into the market. No, we wait. Patience is the cornerstone of mastery. When the technical tools confirm the market’s strength, only then do we act. Now, let’s break down the wheat matrix: Code 1: Commercial and Small Speculator Positioning The Commercial COT Index, using a 26-week lookback, reveals that commercials are at an extreme in long positioning. At the same time, the Small Speculator COT Index shows small specs aligning at a similar extreme. In the wheat market, unlike others, we follow the small specs rather than fading them. A deviation from the norm—an anomaly in the matrix. Code 2: Commercial Extremes in Net Positioning Commercial entities are nearing their most bullish stance in three years. History whispers a truth: when commercials move like this, the market often follows. Code 3: Contrarian Signal from Investment Advisors The masses of investment advisors are overwhelmingly bearish. Against this backdrop, the extreme bullish positioning of commercials sends a powerful contrarian signal. The matrix is showing its hand. Code 4: Valuation Metrics Wheat stands undervalued against U.S. Treasuries. When value aligns with positioning, the code becomes clearer. Code 5: Seasonal Patterns Seasonal truths tell us that wheat’s true bottom often forms in early January. This aligns perfectly with the cyclical and technical signals currently emerging. Additional Signs in the Matrix Spread Divergence: Bullish spread divergence between front and next month contracts. Accumulation Indicators: Insider Accumulation Index and Williams ProGo confirm accumulation. Technical Tools: %R is in the buy zone, and Weekly Ultimate Oscillator Divergence further supports the bullish narrative. Cycles: The Recurring Patterns 44-Month Cycle: A major bottom forms now. 830-Day Cycle: Signals an upward move into March. 151/154-Day Cycles: Align with a cyclical bottom occurring now, projecting strength into March. The Red Pill of Action With these signals converging, the urge to act immediately can feel irresistible. Don’t. The matrix requires patience. Let the market reveal its strength. When the time comes, you’ll ride the wave with confidence. The Path to Mastery Trading isn’t merely a series of moves; it’s a philosophy. The COT strategy is a key, but only those who seek mastery will unlock its full potential. If you’re ready to see the market for what it truly is, join Tradius Trades. Here, we don’t just navigate the matrix of commodities—we redefine it. Are you ready to free your mind?

What's next for BTC? Will the correction go lower?Hello everyone, I invite you to review the situation of BTC, which has currently had a -15% price correction. This is a natural correction in the growth cycle, and what's more, much larger corrections at 20% or 30% levels often appeared in bull cycles. Let's start with how the price moved in the local growth trend channel, in which we can see how dynamically we went down to the lower zone of the channel, which translated into a further drop in price reaching the support level at $ 91,712. In such a situation, it should be taken into account that very often leaving the channel gives a movement close to the channel height, which could cause the BTC price to drop to the support level at $ 84,072. If the current rebound from the level of around $92,000 ends the current correction, however, here we see how the level of $95,004 poses effective resistance for the price, only when it is broken again will it go further to the area of ​​$101,000, and then again move towards the strong resistance zone from $106,000 to $108,000. On the RSI, taking into account the 12H interval, we have a visible descent with crossing the lower limit, which in previous situations gave rise to renewed price increases.

12/20/24 - $BTQQF - I own a small amt at $2, but complicated12/20/24 :: VROCKSTAR :: OTC:BTQQF I own a small amt at $2, but complicated - canadian quantum company focused on near term use cases, including chips (partner of NYSE:TSM one of my favorites) as well as IDX:STRK (starkware - a leading zk L2 on CRYPTOCAP:ETH ). - the CEO seems like a smart guy. i don't get scammy vibes from him - stock simply popped bc quantum is the new "space lasers making salad bots and running on palantir". that being said, a lot of these quantum names (as i've written about under NASDAQ:QUBT recently/ this week as a short)... aren't all that investable - equally, this "company" BTQ isn't really something that will return you big cash anytime soon. if there are perhaps a few thousand quantum researchers globally operating at a high level, BTQ has 30+ employees. - point is, these guys seem well positioned to ride the wave and the stock's market cap is substantially cheaper than the hardware names - which in a sense is cool b/c while i expect BTQ to dilute at this stock price which keeps me from growing size too big (as well as i expect the multi billion caps to correct further lower which could take this sub $1 again)... at that pt i'll ow it again. canadian too (and you can just buy the non OTC ticker if you live in canada as NEO:BTQ ), worth noting, associated w/ waterloo perhaps one of the best quantum labs in the world and with tight ties to NYSE:QBTS (d wave). what do you guys think?

NVDA MAKES TEXTBOOK HEAD & SHOULDERS RETRACEAs the Q's bounce a bit today, NVDA has retraced from a break in the neckline (yesterday) of its current Head & shoulders pattern. The possibility of some float upwards still exists, with a what looks to me to be a likely break back down in the near future, so here are some interesting levels of confluence to consider. Note the correlations in support levels (both diagonal and horizontal), trend lines, a long term parallel channel, a fib retrace, and upper resistance levels. While I a greet that NVDA has a bright long-term future, apparent capital rotation, a decrease in demand (should inflation remain steady or increase), unchanged interest rates, and any economic slowdown may push NVDA's near/short term path downward.

HBAR. From $0.23 to the Moon? Hedera’s Growth Potential!BYBIT:HBARUSDT The asset looks promising during a correction, as it is being heavily accumulated at the $0.25381–$0.23456 level, which supports price growth. I believe it has strong potential for upward movement. HBAR is the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera public network. Hbars are used for powering decentralized applications, peer-to-peer and micropayments, as well as securing the network—Hedera employs a proprietary protocol with elements of Proof-of-Stake. DYOR.

ADA. Correction Opportunity: Don’t Miss This Entry! 12/20/24BYBIT:ADAUSDT The market experienced a pullback, and the price returned to the lower boundary of the range before breaking through its support and moving toward a high-volume level, where a strong buyer was present. We also saw a proper Fibonacci correction, which might indicate a potential reversal and a good entry point for a spot position. I'm entering with 0.5% of my deposit and will add another 0.5% in case of further correction. DYOR.
