BTC on the border of the support zoneHello everyone, let's take a look at the BTC to USDT chart over the 4 hour timeframe. As you can see, the price is moving in a downtrend.
Let's start with the designation of the support line and as you can see the price has dropped below the support zone and the first support in the near future is SL1 - $ 28,373, if the support breaks down, the next is SL2 - $ 27,596 and SL3 - $ 26,716.
Now let's move on to setting targets for the coming hours and you can see that T1 - $ 29,250, if you can break it, the next T2 - $ 29,594 and T3 - $ 29,867 and T3 - $ 30,139.
Looking at the CHOP indicator, we can see that there is still a lot of energy in the 4-hour interval, while the MACD indicator is just before the red line crosses from above, which would confirm the downward trend.

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.

BTC PRICE GO UP or DOWN ?beware and careful of your trades. Market is very volatile and might grab you and liquidate you and yo ass. Kidding aside, always use stop loss.
careful and be confident. always use stop loss no matter what and how confident are you.
Price of Interest at support trend, around 38 to 37k. Careful trading at that level of supp might break up or down. Market is very sketchy right now but still good.
but for me, im chillin and waiting to btc calm down and just observing and week/A day TF for me sellers are owning grabbing all liquidities.
btc might touch the imbalace D TF at 30 to 29k thats where the final support and itll bounce and make a new ATH.
remember big fish are not small fish. smile :P

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.
my BTC short n long positionsi still think that we're in the SOS (sign of strength) phase of the Wyckoff pattern. While it is choppy, the price action bounces off these trend lines. The green lines are points where i'll be taking long positions and the red lines are for short positions. Respective SL are set and demonstrated via the blue lines.
$XELA Exela double bottom at the 886Exela is forming some kind of double bottom at the current .886
One could try a long here. Stop HAS to be the All time low at 0,344.

Things you should consider in trading to make it as a career
Hello everyone:
6 points I like to share on what you should consider in trading to make it as a career.
1. Trading is not a get rich quick scheme
Contrary to what social media, scammers, fakers and fake trading gurus want you to believe, trading is NOT a get rich quick scheme.
Those who believe such usually end up over trading, over leverage, blow accounts and give up.
(Trading is actually a reasonable method to yield money return. It is how consistent traders make a return on their original investment/deposit with proper risk management, strategies and methods. )
2. Technical/Fundamental Analysis dont work all the time.
Trading ANY sort of strategy, method or style will always have a percentage of failure and losses.
Its probability, not right or wrong. The main goal in trading is to make sure you have proper risk management, good Risk:Reward ratio, and look for consistency, sustainability in the long run.
(Sometimes traders blame their strategies, method, style, mentor and other things due to their trades not working out.
Not trading strategies can yield 100% strike rate, if there is, there will not need any risk management, and anyone trader should get rich)
3.Limit your risk per trade
Proper risk management is super crucial to a trader’s success. Many traders often risk way more than their accounts can handle, after all what's 10%-20% of a $100 to many people ?
But would you risk 10-20% on a $100,000 account ? and lose $10,000-$20,000 in one trade ?
(Too many new traders deposit a small amount of money hoping it can double and double and double. But they often over risk, over leverage the account.
The result is it only take a few trades to totally blow the account up.)
4.Must use stop loss
It may have worked out for you a few times where you remove your SL, and the price reverses and you close with profits. But what if the price goes against you more and more?
Can you stay mentally sharp enough and continue to hold the trade when the losses pile up more and more ?
You more likely can not, which will end up resulting in a margin call and/or blow the account.
(In the past I had a trader who approached me and showed me his losses on OIL where he removed his SL and price continued to go against him.
IT has come to a point where he reaches margin call, and the broker actually open opposite positions to “hedge” his losses)
5. Don’t over analysis and combine multiple trading strategies, methods and style
Over analysis and complicating your charts may lead to confusion and is not necessarily efficient.
Most trading strategies do work on their own, but when combined with so many other strategies, it creates conflicts, contradiction and confusion for traders.
(Often traders combine too many random indicators, S/R, trendlines…etc all on one chart. It makes it hard to analyze, and have a bias of the direction of the market)
6.Always use a top-down analysis approach.
Multi-time frame analysis is key. Always start from the higher time frame to the lower time frame.
The higher the time frame the stronger and noticeable the price action it is. Understanding a higher time frame can give you a possible direction and bias.
While the lower time frame will be your confirmation and entry.
(Have seen many new traders jump onto the 1 min chart to trade. While there are successful scalpers with proper years of experiences,
good trading psychology and emotion, most newcomers will not be able to handle the stress and pressure from it. )
Don’t give up
Failed Quasimodo with possible PMG entryI've recently watched a video about the PMG entry from @SaraStratSniper and I figured this is a perfect moment on XAUUSDT to enter such a trade. Let's break previous highs and accelerate to the upside. We also have confluence with the longer term trend line and a failed quasimodo pattern. The quasimodo pattern gives me insight in the possibility of a large amount of traders sitting in Short positions. Once we move past these previous candle highs they will start to panic or stop loss will get hit. This will create a big move up for gold. I would call this a high probability trade setup.
DOGECOIN - ⚠️ Read If You Have An Open Position!❌ As you can see, DOGECOIN was rejected from its resistance, and it is now trading and holding the support level. If it breaks the $ 0.12 line and closes below it, you should close your open positions. Be sure to use a tight stop-loss if you are opening positions.
Internet Computer breakout flag pattern ! Comeback ? 🚀🚀🚀Hello everyone,
The Internet Computer is on the deepest pit in the history of cryptocurrencies. 99.5% from ATH
Fundamental analysis
This is an achievement, thanks to which there is a chance for a large profit, in my opinion it is worth investing in cryptocurrencies that have not reached their previous ATH..
Cryptocurrency in recent days has been doing amazing results in terms of the number of SMART-CONTACT.
Within a month, the number of them doubled from 20k to 40k, which means high activity of developers.
Technical analysis
The best entry will be after a confirmed breakout test.
The best place to place a StopLoss in this situation will be under the last hole, taking into account the profit / loss ratio.
#1 Takeprofit $ 30, #2 Takeprofit $ 50
The RSI indicator is in a similar situation, breaking the moving average and the upcoming breakout retest.
More factors speak of further increases than decreases.
Comment and like,
Greetings
The last chance for a bullish run….fingers crossed BTCBTC has failed many times now to breach above $45K…>last chance to make a major move is NOW. Next 2-3 Days will be huge deciding moment. Here are my bullish projections:
Consolidate lower to $41K - $40K area
BLASTOFF to $47K —> $46K new resistance
If Retest Confirms…..Bullish to $52K —> $60K —> $70K —> $100K
If Retest Fails….Bearish to $28K - $20K
I will be planning on entering LONG position around $40K although we do seem to be approaching support at $41K showing pushback. Perhaps further liquidation to gain buying momentum. Optimistically, we should see a pump and then 50% retracement. I’ve noticed when BTC goes up by X amount, it almost always goes back down 50% on BULLISH runs.
Best of luck traders, the world is adopting bitcoin faster than we know. It’s only a matter of time before mainstream wave pushes Bitcoin into PARABOLIC mode.
Selloff Coming? Waiting for the Cliff Drop to 32KAlthough we have strong support at $36K….the news around the world is not looking nice. Bitcoin Fear and Greed index is at 20 (almost all time low) for confidence in the market. The euro and ruble are down bad, and we are still facing the unknown as far as investors lifeboating BTC and potential sell off. Momentum will be hard to pick back up considering the EMA cloud until mid March. Here is my current trade:
Entry Price $38,000
Target Take Profit Price $32,500
Stop Loss $38,500
Bearish Position
Trade Smartly, Always use stop loss. Stay up to date on the latest events. BUY DIPS AND EAT CHIPS
