How did Open Interest tell me: Stay long as BTC Dumped!?!BYBIT:BTCUSD
I was in 3 long trades as Bitcoin dumped on the 26th of May 2022.
I had 2 choices. Close my longs because I saw price dumping below my entry
or
look at what Open interest was telling me to determine if this was a fakeout.
I saw price dropping as OI was dropping. This meant that longs were closing out their positions, which means that when this ended, price could reverse quickly.
Longs were closing out their positions and re-entering as shorts. As soon as this selling dried up, Longs started entering and then suddenly shorts were being liquidated, pushing the price up again.
This is known as a stop run. Hit long stops and then hit short stops. Be aware of this kind of fakeout as it happens again and again!
Learn to trade the retest and why it is important not to short at support and inversely why it is NB not to long at resistance, UNLESS you get a retest of that level!

MATIC on 4H interval, target and stop lossHello everyone, let's take a look at the MATIC to USDT chart over the 4 hour timeframe. As you can see, the price is moving below the local downtrend line.
Let's start with determining the stop loss that we should take into account in the short term and, as you can see, we can set the following stop loss:
SL1 - $ 0.629
SL2 - $ 0.597
SL3 - $ 0.557
Now it is worth going to the targets that we should take into account when playing short-term, we see individual targets:
T1 - $ 0.689
T2 - $ 0.747
T3 - $ 0.804
Looking at the CHOP indicator we can see that in the 4-hour interval some energy has been used up, but we have a little bit to continue the movement.
However, please remember that the market can be dynamic and you should always be careful with the market and analysis.
If BTC is stable, GMT may start to go upHello everyone, let's take a look at the BTC to USDT chart over the 4 hour timeframe. As you can see, price is moving above the local uptrend line.

BTC stop-loss hunt is highly expected soonFriends,
reviewing the 1D BTC chart, I noticed that we had at least 2 SL hunts with massive pullback and global uptrend channel continuation.
Now we're in a very similar situation and I expect the 3rd SL hunt to the are around 36000.
What do you think, may this happen?

TRX | has a good support areaHello . 🖐️
Here are some facts we all know :
1.We have a good support area near us. Tested several times
2.Large volume traded the previous days
3.Our oscillator will go head down and possibly reach the oversold area
What I think might happen soon :
1.The price falls once again because of the emotions that dominate the market
2.Apart from market sentiment, there is good liquidity below the support area + round number 0.06 can also be the stopping point of many traders (stop hunting)
3.Our oscillator turns blue, which indicates the fall of the market, but basically, when all the columns turn blue, it is the turning point of the market. So if we have heat or red lines later, we can reach higher prices 🔥 (I did not specify a target) 😅

Stay sharp in these volatile times!These are crazy times.
In 2020 I started to seriously dedicate myself to becoming a profitable trader. the past few months have been very volatile. and for me as a beginner it is also very difficult to earn even a little constant results. and maybe you recognize yourself in my situation, But I have learned a lot from all this chaos ;) , and therefore I have written down a few of my own experiences that hopefully will help you to get a little more consistent results. as I say, I am no expert and this is therefore certainly not financial advice. but especially in these times I think it is nice to help each other a little and learn from each other's mistakes.
1. It's okay to not have open positions from time to time. Occasionally it can be frustrating, if you take a loss, but that's okay, hopefully you learned something from it. I now consider the current (short-term) trend to be neutral/Bearish. and I am now reading Technical Analysis of the financial markets and in that book there was a sentence that I did find reassuring: "It is during these periods of sideways market movement that technical traders experience their greatest frustration, and systems traders their greatest equity losses". Take these times to prepare yourself for a more predictable market phase.
2. Trying to predict a bottom can be dangerous. Try to wait for confirmation, or a known pattern. Take LUNA/USD as an example, luckily I didn’t had any money in this coin. But you don't want to get stuck in a long position, don't forget to set a stop loss either, and the last point actually ties into point 2
3. A well-known rule is that you should not add to a losing position. I thought I had remembered this but I did catch myself doing it at the beginning, especially in times like this it can be disastrous, usually it doesn't end well.
I wish everyone the best coming times, hopefully most will achieve their goals. Keep thinking rationally and try to keep your emotions under control. I wish you all the best.
Let me hear from you in the comments, I am very curious about your experience in this market.
Perhaps you have a suggestion for me, I would be very happy with that.

How I'm setting stop losses on USDJPY using IchimokuIn my recent post I indicated that I am long USDJPY due to the higher timeframe bullish trend:
A question that traders often ask is "how do I set a stop-loss when the market is moving up?". This applies if you are looking to enter your first trade in the trend, or if you want to trail a stop-loss on an existing order. The answer is simple when you use Ichimoku.
Briefly, Ichimoku lines indicate the "market equilibrium" over various timeframes. There are three equilibrium lines (or "Han-ne" lines in Japanese). These are:
1. Tenkan-Sen - 9 periods / Short-term equilibrium (yellow on my chart)
2. Kijun-Sen - 26 periods / Medium-term equilibrium (red on my chart)
3. Senko Span B - 52 periods / Long-term equilibrium (red kumo cloud line on my chart)
A Han-ne line is created by finding the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low within the set number of periods. If price is above a Han-ne line, it is said to be bullish in that timeframe, and the opposite for bearish. There is a lot more to learn about Han-ne lines and the meaning of the equilibrium, but for our purposes here, understand that these lines tell you the point where buyers and sellers meet.
One of the reasons we know that USDJPY is bullish is because the Han-ne lines are angled up on the higher timeframes (4H and 1D). This means that the point at which buyers and sellers meet is increasing. In other words: we are trending up!
Now: the secret for setting your stop-loss. If the Han-ne line tells us where the equilibrium is over the short/medium/long term, periods where the line remains flat are significant. If a Han-ne line, especially Kijun-Sen or Senko Span B, remains flat for multiple periods, it means that midprice has been established by many buyers and sellers.
We can use these flat Han-ne lines as:
1. Support/resistance
2. Zones to place stop-loss orders
As I look at a pair like USDJPY trending up, I am zooming into the lower timeframes (think: 15m or 30m) and looking for flat Han-ne lines. If I see several "zones" forming I can place my stop-loss just near the other side of that zone. This means I can receive adequate protection, but also know that if the price does clear that zone and hit my order, a reversal or pullback is likely happening and it will be a good time to exit anyway.
We've already seen a flat Kijun-Sen line act as support on the 15m chart:
You can use this concept for any pair, currency, stock, crypto, etc. The secret is to look for flat lines and use these as your support/resistance levels and stop-loss zones.
Happy trading!
EURUSD ,2H LONGHere EURUSD is LOOKING To REVERSE To The Upside Because of Few Reasons
1) The Market is making Lower Low and RSI is making Equal Lows which means Market is making Divergence
2) the market has braked the structure to the upside on lower time frames
3) there is also the liquidity pool on the upside where the market movers could grab all the SL of the traders ..
SO Overall it is Looking a Bullish Setup .
BTC-DAILY-KIJUN-SEN BREAKOUT ...DAILY (D1)
Yesterday's price action triggered a long black candle ( BEARISH ENGULFING ) with, and IT IS VERY IMPORTANT, ITS DAILY CLOSING LEVEL (@ 42'290) , for the first time, since a while, BELOW THE KIJUN-SEN !!!
This move must not be underestimated and must be taken very seriously.
Indeed, the KIJUN-SEN was the last significant support to look at and the breakout of it is confirming further downside in the cards towards the next support level, which will be this time the weekly TENKAN-SEN @ 41'279 ahead of the DAILY VERY THIN CLOUDS SUPPORT AREA (39'854-39'400) slightly below the psychological 40'000 level.
Secondary support trend line currently @ 38'739 and primary uptrend support line currently @ 36'225
Watch and monitor ongoing today's price action (pullback) in the direction of the Kijun-Sen recent breakout (actually @ 43'188).
In the current environment and in order to neutralise this ongoing downside risk, the BTC should quickly recover and close on a daily closing basis above the KIJUN-SEN , which if it is the case, would at least trigger a PIERCING LINE , (slightly bullish pattern, not as powerful as a Bullish engulfing pattern, but at least a stabilization signal)
A failure to do it would be seen as a natural pullback providing selling opportunity (ie selling on rally with a stop loss above 44'000 targeting tactically 40'000 in applying a RR ratio of at least, ideally 1:3). Strategic idea would target 36'225 allowing to increase the level of the stop loss above the ongoing downtrend line resistance in keeping a respective and coherent RR ratio !
As usual watch H4, H1 and shorter intraday time frames to get early signal (s) which will help you to act accordingly in validating or invalidating the DAILY implications previously mentioned.

Where To Set Your Stop Loss Trading CryptocurrencyA new trader asked me the important question, "where do I set my stop loss when trading cryptocurrency?" I decided to make a video detailing my strategy using live trade examples over the last two weeks in Solana COINBASE:SOLUSD and Ethereum COINBASE:ETHUSD . Solana was coming off a double bottom and a price spike gave the sign for where to put the stop loss. Ethereum was hitting a key Resistance level and also gave a signal for where to put the stop.
