Long KAS to Oktober 2025Yonatan Sompolinsky is the founder of Kaspa. In addition to his work on the GHOSTDAG protocol, Yonatan has extensive experience in blockchain research and development. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Hebrew University and has published numerous academic papers on topics related to blockchain technology. Yonatan started gaining a reputation within the cryptocurrency academic circle back in 2013 when he and Professor Zohar conceived the GHOST protocol, a protocol famous for being cited in the Ethereum whitepaper as a design goal. Yonatan currently holds a post-doctoral position at Harvard researching transaction ordering protocols and MEV. Kaspa’s official website: kaspa.org Kaspa is the world's first blockDAG, which stands for Directed Acyclic Graph, that uses proof of work. Unlike traditional blockchain architectures, where transactions are processed in a linear fashion, a blockDAG creates a graph of blocks, where each block has multiple child blocks. This unique approach allows Kaspa to achieve parallel processing, enabling multiple transactions to be confirmed simultaneously, resulting in lightning-fast transaction times. The scalability of traditional blockchain architectures has been a major issue since the inception of Bitcoin (The blockchain trilemma). The linear structure of blockchains(linked list block structure) limits the number of transactions that can be processed in a given time, which has resulted in significant delays and high fees during times of network congestion. The blockDAG architecture of Kaspa allows for much greater scalability, allowing thousands, if not millions, of transactions to be processed simultaneously.(Current consensus mechanism used in kaspa is Phantom GhostDag and 1 block per second eprint.iacr.org , but over the next years they will try to implement the Dag Knight Protocol, eprint.iacr.org and rewrite the codebase from Golang to Rust that will improve the speed to about 32-100 BPS which will make Kaspa much faster and even more scalable than it is today.) In addition to its scalability, Kaspa is also designed to be highly secure. It utilizes the kHeavyHash algorithm, a modification of the SHA-256 hashing algorithm used in Bitcoin, which allows for high hashing power per watt. This makes Kaspa's proof-of-work system highly energy efficient, while still maintaining the decentralization and security that is inherent to all cryptocurrencies. Kaspa is also designed to be fully decentralized, meaning that anyone can participate in the network, and all participants have an equal say in the decision-making process. This is in stark contrast to centralized systems, where power is concentrated in the hands of a select few. By remaining decentralized, Kaspa ensures that it remains open, transparent, and resistant to censorship. Another key feature of Kaspa is its instant transaction confirmation time. The blockDAG architecture allows for transactions to be confirmed almost instantly, providing a much smoother user experience than traditional blockchains. This feature is essential for the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies as a viable means of payment. Overall, Kaspa represents a major leap forward in the evolution of blockchain technology. Its unique blockDAG architecture, combined with its scalability, security, and instant transaction confirmation times, make it an incredibly powerful and promising platform for the future of decentralized finance.

Trading Psychology: 4 Dangerous Emotions Traders Must AvoidWhen I was a naive, newbie trader, I didn’t pay much attention to my trading psychology. I was more focused on the technical chart patterns and trade setups. However, I soon found out the hard way that… Ignoring the psychology of trading was destroying my trading results. That’s when I began making a serious effort to master my personal trading psychology. I started reading trading psychology books, and even worked with a personal trading coach. I was definitely on the right path to mastering trading psychology, but wished I would have started learning sooner. That’s why NOW is the perfect time to start getting your trading psychology edge. But why is it important to understand stock market psychology? Understanding stock market psychology paves the way for your long-term trading success. That’s why this exclusive new mini-lesson of top trading psychology tips is just for you. How do you develop trading psychology? Some trading sites advise new stock and crypto traders to gain experience by paper trading with a simulated account. This can be helpful to learn the basics of trading, but it’s a much different ball game when real money is on the line. Your true emotions in trading will only be revealed when risking your own money with actual trades. Therefore, the best way to develop your trading psychology is simply by working your way through hundreds of live trades with real capital. Keep a basic journal and note when you feel the dangerous emotions below start creeping in. This is the only way to truly identify your personal strengths and weaknesses in trading psychology. 4 Most Dangerous Emotions to Avoid: Fear, Greed, Hope, and Regret Investing decisions in any market in the world are driven by 4 powerful emotions of Fear, Greed, Hope, and Regret. Left uncontrolled, these emotions can have a seriously negative impact on your trading account—but only if you let them. Your personal ability to master these key emotions directly determines your long-term trading success. So here’s a quick rundown of how fear, greed, hope, and regret can harm your trading results. Most importantly, I have also included actionable ways to avoid these emotions in your trading. FEAR – The most powerful human emotion that affects your trading Fear is a distressing emotion caused by a feeling of impending danger. This results in a survival response, regardless of whether the threat is real or imagined. Traders consistently report fear as the emotion they struggle with the most. Fear has even caused people to jump off buildings during market panics. FEAR is the reason markets typically fall much faster than they rise. It took the Dow Jones Industrial Average 24 years (1983 until 2007) to rally from 1,000 to 14,200…BUT it only took 2 years (2007-2009) to lose HALF of that multi-decade gain. Why? Uncontrolled fear rapidly leads to panic—which leads to poor decision making in the markets. When traders become driven by panic, they often sell their positions at any price. That’s why stocks frequently cliff dive when group fear starts kicking in. Fear can also rear its ugly head after you experience a string of losing trades. After suffering many losses, fear of “yet another loss” can make it mentally challenging to enter new swing trade setups. When paralyzed by fear, you miss out on profitable trading opportunities. If it’s a quality trade setup, then don’t let fear prevent you from buying (be careful not to confuse this with revenge trading). Remember that each trade you enter is completely independent of the previous trade. Therefore, losing money on a prior trade does not necessarily mean you will lose on the next trade. Fear is not always bad, as it can help keep losses small. For example, fear of a bigger loss can get you out of a bad trade you should no longer be in. If you immediately sell your stock or crypto when it hits your preset stop price, then the fear of a bigger loss protects you from major losses. When there is fear, steer clear! If the market is in a state of panic, don’t fight the downtrend. If you’re in doubt, get out! Don’t try to rationalize or come up with excuses to stay in losing positions beyond their stop prices. HINT: Ignore the news and internet forums to prevent lame rationalizations for staying in losing trades. When there is too much fear in the markets, our flagship swing trade alerts service simply shifts to cash until a new buy signal is received. This prevents fighting strong downtrends in unfavorable conditions. GREED – Too much greed decreases your trading profits Greed is an excessive desire for money and wealth, but is a natural human emotion. A healthy amount of greed can help drive your trading profits, but too much greed will have the opposite effect. How to know when it’s too much greed Greed is when you have already made a large profit on a trade, BUT are still obsessed with how much more you could have made if you stayed in the trade longer. The mistake with this reasoning is that all gains are not real until the position is closed. Until then, a winning trade is only a profit on paper. Greed can also cause traders to make bad trades by ignoring solid risk management rules, which signals a lack of discipline in your trading or investing. To keep greed at bay on a winning trade, sell partial share size to lock in profits, then trail a stop higher on the rest. Proactive trade management like this is why our exclusive Wagner Daily stock picks have been consistently profitable over the past 20 years. HOPE – A fake friend who will take your money (but only if you let it) Hope, a feeling of anticipation and desire for a certain event to happen, may be the most dangerous emotion for traders. If you are an active trader or investor, the feeling of “hope” in your day to day trading activities must be avoided at all costs. Why is hope so dangerous for traders? Hope may prevent you from immediately selling a losing trade that hits its stop price—which is the top rule with most trading strategies. When you blow a stop, you will usually wind up with a much bigger loss than you planned to risk. You may get lucky with a second chance to exit (especially in a forgiving bull market). However, this is definitely not a situation you want to be in. A weak stock typically continues much lower before bouncing, which is why you must always honor your stops. Otherwise, that’s when hope can really sneak up on you! Hope will convince you to just “hang in there a little longer” because: “Big news is coming soon” “This stock will surely rally after their next earnings report” (Insert your favorite bullshit excuse here) Meanwhile, while you’re busy hoping, the price plummets and has a catastrophic effect on your entire trading account. Rest assured, the market will eventually punish you by taking your money when you slip into “hope mode.” But the good news is that YOU alone can easily prevent this scenario from happening. Simply always set protective stops to pre-define your maximum risk per trade. Be rigidly disciplined to follow your trading plan, and hope will never become an issue in your trading. Plan your trades, and trade your plan. REGRET – Remember the next opportunity is always just around the corner Regret is defined as a feeling of sadness or disappointment over something that has happened—especially when it involves a loss or a missed opportunity. It is only natural for a stock trader to regret entering a losing trade or missing out on a winning trade. But to master your trading psychology, do not hyper-focus on losing trades or missed opportunities. If you lose money on a trade, then simply evaluate what went wrong, learn from it, and move on. Don’t waste time regretting your original decision to enter the trade. What’s done is done. Conversely, you may feel regret when you miss an opportunity. This is human nature. However, you must train your mind to simply move on to the next trading opportunity—which is always just around the corner. When you allow this type of regret to control you, it becomes too easy to “chase trades” with risky entry prices. If you chase, your risk/reward ratio of the setup no longer meets the parameters of healthy trade management. Let’s say you plan to buy $DUDE stock at a $60 buy trigger price, with a swing trade target around $70. If you buy it, you plan your initial stop at $55. This gives you a 1:2 risk/reward ratio (risking $5 to gain $10). $DUDE stock rallies, but you miss your original $60 buy and instead chase the price to an entry at $65. If you don’t significantly raise your initial stop, you now have a negative risk-reward (risking $10 to gain $5). In this case, your regret of missing the $60 entry caused you to chase it to $65 (next time, just wait for a pullback). Avoid feelings of regret to ensure the math of trading is always in your favor. We always target a bare minimum risk/reward ratio of 1:2 for swing trades in our stock and crypto swing trade alerts services. Successful traders keep their minds disciplined to avoid remorseful thinking. original source

UPDATED DXY ANALYSISok! so i was too quick to jump to a conclusion on my first DXY analysis but then after looking at gold i have changed my bias because of the following... 1. gold moves in relation to the dollar index and gold is about to hit a major resistance level and major downward trendline 2. whereas dxy over here has also just respected a weekly resistance level and has started off the week bearish 3. i'm expecting the market to break my inner H1 upward trendline (or even respect it) then i'll short the DOLLAR

BTCUSD: North only - or 50% correction? 'Everybody' want's BTC to go north only. Well, you know what I mean. People want to know why Bitcoin is flaking out. Some will say ' Anytime soon to $75,000! " There are several indicators on this chart. No predictions here. I don't do predictions. Only probabilities. The chart shows some conflicting information. BTC is now coming into a zone of congestion and just nudged below the 100 MA. These two things suggest that 'everybody' who was holding their powder dry will be looking for a good deal. And sure they may make a few bob (as we say in England). There is no 'death cross' so 'everybody' is relaxed. But there is a problem. The ATR on the daily has shown a sharp switch. This is not a good sign for a bullish market on this daily time frame. It indicates a probability for further movement south. But hold on - I didn't say price is going south 'now'! Possible scenarios: 1. Price collapses dramatically now. 2. Price goes into consolidation and then collapses. 3. Price consolidates and moves north for while. 4. Price rockets to the moon right now. The indicators are showing some interesting areas, that others may be watching. Caution: Indicators rule no market in the world. They give us a probability. So for every probability south there is a residual probability north e.g. if 62% north then 38% for the south (note this is just an example). And what does north mean? North doesn't mean to the moon. It means that price in any market may move a certain distance north which nobody can predict how far. Substitute 'south' for a bearish outlook. But I don’t imagine many people want to think about that one. But note also that technical analysis does not rule markets. There a fundamental issues that rule too. But charts have a hard time mapping out fundamentals (unless it's some specific type of fundamental data). What's spooking the Bitcoin market? The chatter in the blogosphere is about a ban on Bitcoin coming from the US, UK, China, Turkey and India (probably other countries as well). A few months ago I referred to when Gold was banned. I was laughed at. No problem. People simply said, "Nobody can ban crypto!! No chance! Impossible to enforce. " Well it doesn't matter. The point is that those who made their killing ain't taking the chance that it could be banned. The next issue is that there is word on the block of a wave of capital gains taxes to hit. Are people going to wait on Biden to finalise it? Some will, some won't. Those who made their money are probably cashing in and not waiting for bad news. I don't blame them. The history of the Gold ban is one that people should dig deep into. I'm not saying that Bitcoin is gold. I'm saying that your leaders who invented and protected fiat currencies, are most unlikely to allow an independent store of value to challenge their world order. I don't want Bitcoin to flake out. I love its rebelliousness. But that particular feature is what may make it intolerable to 'the authorities'. Four times (approx) the price of gold (at peak) is serious provocation. Trend is more important than price. Some say the trend is their friend. Some don't believe that. Oh my mate (not on Tradingview), held on at $51,000 instead of bailing out. Tonight it's around $48,000 🙄 . Why do people hold on? They 'know', or they 'hope', it's going back north. The 'enemies within' rule. This mate of mine is not a trader. She'll probably hold on some more and if it pushes back to 56,000 will say ' See what I mean - I was right! ' That's some kind of confirmation bias or something. But folk like these don't have an exit strategy. I don't tell people what to do with their money or investments.

DJI (6h) - Double top - and more.The trouble with double tops is that, you don't know where exactly price will go. Have a look. All you can do is take a controlled loss (aka stop-loss). If you can't afford it, don't take it (obviously). Today was exciting!! USTech was heading south, whilst price on other US stock indices went madly north. The news said, that this was a about rotation. (Read up on that). Well, I don't think so. It looked as if moms and pops traders took confidence in an early rise of USTech and moved madly north. Tech continued to grind down after that bounce, checking the confidence of the gamblers. There's potential trouble on the DAX where 'gamblers' went wooohooo towards 14000 ish. Then the big boys said hold on a sec! Oops - hello there is trouble in the Bond markets. The FED is basically fighting against itself - trying to boost bonds and prop up stock indices in the US at the same time. Yellen made an announcement that inflation is not a problem - and the gamblers became ravenous. (You don't see that stuff on the 6H chart. Look into the 15 min time frame.) In other events, officially US debt struck just over $28 Trillion. But the true figure not in the public domain is estimated to be around ~$128 Trillion. Like 'who cares' some say, 'The FED has our back'. Disclaimers : This is not advice or encouragement to trade securities on live accounts. Chart positions shown are not suggestions.
