Beyond Technical Analysis

Bitcoin - Last stage of the pump! (sell here and wait 50% crash)Bitcoin is in the last stage of the bull run. Buying Bitcoin at 93,000 is not worth it for the long term because you will be able to buy it cheaper in 2025/2026 at the price around 60,000-50,000. The moon boys are back and everyone is very bullish; that is usually a sign of a cycle top. Bitcoin always moves in significant cycles and is highly volatile. New people don't know it, and their finances get completely ruined with each bearish cycle. Let's look at the technical analysis. Always start with simple trendlines. We can draw a very nice trendline starting from wave (1) -> wave (3). These 2 points are significant swing highs. This gives us a current profit target of 107,000 USD in December 2024. Next, what we want to do is look for the Fibonacci extension levels. As per Elliott Wave analysis, we are in the last wave (5), You want to draw the fibonacci extension from the start of wave (1) to the end of wave (3) and the second point will be the end of wave (4). This also gives us a profit target of 107,000 USD! This is not random; this is pure skill. 95% of retail traders don't use the Fibonacci extension tool, and among the 5% of users, 95% of them don't know how to use the tool properly. I know how to use it properly with the Elliott Wave theory, as I have been trading crypto for almost 10 years. Enter a short position at 94,500, first profit target 92,480, second 91,062. Write a comment with your altcoin, and I will make an analysis for you in response. Also, please hit boost and follow for more ideas. Trading is not hard if you have a good coach! This is not a trade setup, as there is no stop-loss or profit target. I share my trades privately. Thank you, and I wish you successful trades!

Solana Soars Close to Record: What Could Drive Prices in 2025?Crypto markets are betting big on Solana — the Ethereum rival pressed higher even as the broader digital-asset market pulled back last week. Now Solana needs a few stars to align so it could rocket to a fresh all-time high, surpassing its 2021 record of $260. And by the common consensus, record territory could be a few sessions away while a fuller, hulking dominance could be on the cards for 2025. Solana SOLUSD is on a roll. Early on Tuesday, Solana neared its record high of $260 set back in 2021 when crypto bros were going all in on their favorite coins (birthing some meme coins in the process.) The Solana token, which runs on the layer-1 blockchain of the same name, shot up to $245, staging a monster recovery from $8 a piece back in January 2023 when crypto markets were reeling from the fabulous implosion of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto exchange FTX and its sister company, trading house Alameda Research. (SBF was an early buyer of Solana, scooping it up for as low as 20 cents.) Now Solana is no longer associated with the fallen crypto mogul who’s serving a 25-year prison sentence. Instead, the digital coin is running free and carving out its own reputation. And fast. Almost as fast as its ability to process transactions on the blockchain. Solana is touted as a faster and cheaper alternative to Ethereum ETHUSD , the second-largest coin with a valuation of $375 billion. That’s some $260 billion more than Solana’s own market cap of about $115 billion. Still, Solana’s gains outshine these of Ethereum: Solana year-to-date gains: 142% Ethereum year-to-date gains: 40% Bitcoin year-to-date gains: 107% Solana’s performance hinges on three very different sets of circumstances: Its ability to handle the technical workload as a payment processor Its infrastructure capacity for building up various projects Its appeal as an investment asset (or why you’re here) On the first one — payment processor — Solana boasts lightning-fast transactions to the tune of 50,000 per second. Ethereum? That’s about 15 to 45 transactions per second. Visa? A wide range between 1,500 and 65,000 (depends who you’re asking.) And Bitcoin gets you about 2 to 7 transactions per second (but no one really cares about this.) With breakneck speed, Solana is shaping up as a worthy opponent to traditional payment processors, flexing high volumes in a decentralized environment. On the second one — building grounds for projects — Solana is considered the go-to place to launch meme tokens based on dogs, cats and even politicians and business people. It has been handling these pretty well, considering the massive influx of dog-themed and Elon Musk-themed tokens. On the third one — investing and trading — Solana is staring into exciting prospects for 2025. The cryptocurrency might get its own US spot exchange-traded fund soon and traders are buzzing from excitement. A Solana-based spot ETF could be a reality as soon as 2025 (most likely after Securities and Exchange Commission boss Gary Gensler gets fired.) Only two other cryptocurrencies have been granted permission to strut down the traditional ETF pathway — eleven Bitcoin ETFs and nine Ethereum ETFs . Now that Donald Trump has secured another four years in the White House, the crypto industry expects big things to come its way. The President-elect has embraced digital assets and even announced his own crypto gig — a Bitcoin strategic reserve . Which was shortly after complemented by the cost-cutting DOGE department led by Elon Musk. All in all, Washington is expected to be super friendly to crypto, especially after large industry players such as Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase spent $135 million backing more than 50 Congress candidates, most of them winning seats. Where do you think Solana is heading next? Do you see lots of bullish momentum going into 2025? Or maybe you’re more inclined to believe it’ll come crashing down? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

The Hidden Whale Playbook Detailed Explanation: 1. Double Top Detection Through RSI Oscillator - A double top pattern signifies that the price has reached a resistance level twice but failed to break through, often hinting at bearishness. - Using the RSI Oscillator, you’re analyzing momentum rather than just price. This tool helps identify shifts in strength and momentum within the market. - The oscillator's behavior likely showed weakening momentum at two distinct peaks, correlating with the price action's double top pattern. 2. VWAP Pointing Upwards - The Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) serves as a key indicator of market trend. Its upward direction reflects that buying pressure or positive momentum is still dominant in the market, suggesting that the general trend remains bullish. - Despite the double top's bearish implications, the VWAP trajectory implies that this might be a temporary resistance rather than the start of a reversal. 3. RSI Oscillator Curving Upwards - The RSI Oscillator curving upwards indicates that momentum is picking up again after the hesitation caused by the double top. - This curve implies that the market is gaining strength for another move upward, showing buyers are coming back into play. 4. Second Wave Formation - A second wave is a continuation of a trend after a brief pullback or consolidation. Here’s what’s happening in this case: - The double top caused a temporary slowdown or minor retracement. - However, the VWAP’s upward slope combined with the oscillator’s upward curve suggests renewed buying momentum. - This dynamic is building the foundation for another push higher—a second wave. Explanation Flow: The RSI Oscillator helped identify a potential double top, signaling resistance and a temporary slowdown in momentum. However, the VWAP’s upward trajectory shows that the broader trend remains bullish, and market sentiment hasn’t shifted to bearish. As the oscillator begins to curve upwards, it indicates a resurgence of momentum, suggesting that the pullback was temporary. Together, these signals point to the likelihood of a second wave, where the market attempts to push higher, possibly testing or even breaking the resistance level. This concept was originally developed, then refined through a retracing process, and ultimately finalized by copying and pasting the improved version.

"Bitcoin's Rise, Altcoins' Fall" Alright, let’s break this down and expand on the scenario to make it clear why this could very well be a deliberate play by smart money. We’re talking about institutional investors, whales, or market makers—entities that have the resources and strategies to capitalize on the behavior of retail investors. They don’t operate on emotion; they’re methodical, strategic, and, frankly, ruthless when it comes to maximizing profits. This is how it could be unfolding right now: --- 1. Creating Fear and Uncertainty One of the primary tactics of smart money is to manipulate emotions in the market. Fear and uncertainty are their greatest allies. - Price Suppression in Altcoins: By focusing attention on Bitcoin, allowing it to dominate headlines and rally aggressively, they divert focus away from altcoins. At the same time, they might orchestrate small, consistent sell-offs in altcoins. The result? Retail traders—already jittery and reactive—start to lose confidence in their altcoin holdings. They see Bitcoin rising, while altcoins stagnate or bleed out, and the knee-jerk reaction is to sell. - Market Cycles Play a Role: It’s important to remember that altcoins are inherently more volatile than Bitcoin. When Bitcoin moves sharply upward and altcoins lag, the perception is that altcoins are “weak.” This narrative feeds into the panic, creating a self-reinforcing cycle where more and more retail traders exit their positions. --- 2. Accumulating at Lower Prices Once the panic sets in and altcoin prices are driven lower, that’s when the real strategy kicks in accumulation. - Retail Capitulation Equals Opportunity: When retail traders sell out of fear, they inadvertently hand over their altcoins to those who know the value of patience. Smart money steps in during these moments of capitulation, scooping up altcoins at rock-bottom prices. They’re not buying blindly—they’re targeting projects with solid fundamentals and potential for massive returns. - Whale Tactics in Action: Whales have another trick up their sleeves. They can sell just enough to push prices lower, triggering stop-loss levels for retail traders. When those stop-losses are hit, it accelerates the sell-off, creating an even better buying opportunity for the whales. This is a textbook example of how the "weak hands" are shaken out of the market. --- 3. Timing the "Altseason" Here’s the kicker: all of this is done with a bigger plan in mind. Smart money doesn’t just accumulate for the sake of holding—they’re setting the stage for an eventual altcoin rally, commonly referred to as "altseason." - Rotation of Profits: Once smart money has accumulated enough altcoins at low prices, they’ll begin to rotate their profits out of Bitcoin. This influx of capital into altcoins creates a surge in demand, which drives up prices. Retail traders, seeing the sudden movement, jump back in, further fueling the rally. - Maximizing Gains: By playing both sides—riding Bitcoin’s rally first and then triggering the altcoin surge—smart money ensures they extract maximum profits from the market. It’s a masterclass in timing and manipulation. --- 4. Market Manipulation Is the Name of the Game To truly grasp this scenario, you have to understand the extent of control that smart money has over market dynamics. - Liquidity Control: Smart money can influence where liquidity flows. By keeping Bitcoin dominant, they ensure that the bulk of the market’s attention and capital stays focused on Bitcoin. This suppresses altcoins temporarily, making them appear less appealing. - Psychological Pressure on Retail Investors: Retail traders tend to follow the herd. When they see Bitcoin rising and altcoins struggling, they start to doubt their decisions. This doubt leads to panic selling, which plays directly into the hands of smart money. --- 5. This Has Happened Before None of this is new. If you study past market cycles, you’ll notice a recurring pattern: Bitcoin leads the rally, drawing in capital and attention. Only after Bitcoin stabilizes or consolidates does capital flow into altcoins, leading to explosive gains in that sector. - Retail investors often miss the early stages of these altcoin rallies because they’ve already sold in panic. By the time they realize what’s happening, smart money has already positioned itself to profit. --- What You Should Watch For If this scenario is playing out, there are a few things you can monitor to stay ahead of the game: - Altcoin Volume: Are we seeing declining volume or signs of accumulation? Look for spikes that could indicate large players entering the market. - Bitcoin Dominance: Is Bitcoin’s dominance continuing to rise, suggesting that altcoins are still being suppressed? - Market Sentiment: Pay attention to retail sentiment. Are traders frustrated, panicking, or giving up on altcoins? This could be a sign that accumulation is nearing its end. --- Smart money thrives in uncertainty and chaos. They rely on retail traders making emotional, short-sighted decisions. If you understand this and act with patience and discipline, you can avoid being a victim of their tactics. Remember, this is a game of strategy, not emotion. Don’t get caught in the trap.

Remember? 2024 is ending, the next one is 2025; it will be massive, we know the top. In the past we would be uncertain because the market was young and the fight was still on.

We will know based on the results. We are expecting a massive bull-market. We are going mainly with the classic, 1-2 main waves and some 300 days of sustained growth; but, remember, the world is changing, we don't know if some pairs will grow for decades just like the stock market did after it matured. Crypto is young but growing and evolving everyday. We are no longer in the dark days of Crypto. Cryptocurrency is now mainstream, the dynamics are changing and for the better; what to expect? Expect maximum growth. 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2029 and beyond. Focus, plan and prepare for the long-term. This is my honest advice. Thank you for reading. Namaste.

Strategies for Managing Cognitive OverloadCognitive load significantly affects decision-making in trading. When traders face overwhelming amounts of data, analysis paralysis or rushed decisions can lead to suboptimal outcomes. To thrive in high-pressure environments, it’s vital to manage cognitive overload effectively. Below, I’ll break down actionable strategies for understanding and mitigating cognitive load's impact on trading. 1️⃣ Understand Cognitive Load and Its Impact on Trading Cognitive load refers to the mental effort required to process information. Trading demands constant attention to market movements, technical analysis, and economic data. Example: A day trader monitoring more axssets than what they are accustomed to might miss critical patterns due to information overload. Actionable Tip: Regularly assess how much data you’re consuming. Start with a focus on high-value indicators and gradually expand as you develop familiarity. 2️⃣ Simplify and Automate Your Processes Over-complexity in trading strategies amplifies cognitive load. Simplify by using predefined rules or more mechanical approaches. Example: Automated alert systems can signal trades based on algorithms, reducing real-time decision-making stress. Exercise: Design a checklist for your trading plan. For example: Entry conditions → Risk management → Exit criteria. This minimizes mental effort during live trading. 3️⃣ Develop a Prioritization Framework Not all information is equally important. Learn to prioritize data relevant to your strategy. Case Study: A commodities trader focusing on crude oil shouldn’t overanalyze forex movements unless there’s a direct correlation. Strategy: Use frameworks to categorize information into what’s urgent/important versus secondary noise. 4️⃣ Practice Cognitive Resilience Through Training Building mental endurance can help you better handle large amounts of information. Historical Insight: During the 2008 financial crisis, traders with strong mental training adapted quicker, effectively sifting through noise to identify key trends. Exercise: Engage in activities like brain-training apps or puzzles that enhance your working memory and decision-making capabilities. 5️⃣ Limit Multitasking in High-Stakes Environments Multitasking might seem efficient but often leads to mistakes in trading. Focus on one task at a time to reduce cognitive interference. Example: Avoid analyzing new market data while executing a trade, as split attention can result in errors. Actionable Tip: Block dedicated time for analysis and execution separately. Use a schedule to stay disciplined. 6️⃣ Incorporate Regular Breaks to Reset Focus Mental fatigue exacerbates cognitive load, making breaks essential to clear your mind. Example: A forex trader who takes short breaks after every 45 minutes of trading reports improved focus and reduced errors. Exercise: Implement the 45-15 rule: Trade for 45 minutes, then take a 15-minute break to walk, stretch, or meditate. 7️⃣ Use Visual Aids to Manage Information Visualizing data helps reduce cognitive strain by presenting complex information in digestible formats. Example: Heatmaps or charts simplify the evaluation of market trends compared to raw numerical data. Exercise: Customize your trading dashboard to include only the most relevant visual indicators. This prevents distraction from unnecessary clutter. My students and I use a total market view dashboard and a total news view dashboard. Cognitive load is a silent yet powerful force in trading psychology. By understanding its impact and adopting strategies to manage it, traders can improve focus, make more objective decisions, and ultimately enhance performance. Start small by prioritizing the most impactful adjustments and scale your efforts as you grow.

World tension! Gold price momentum increases⭐️Smart investment, Strong finance ⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold recorded consecutive gains on Tuesday, rising by 0.70% as escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict fueled risk aversion. Investors turned to the safe-haven metal, pushing its price above $2,600 after hitting a two-month low of $2,536. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading at $2,629. The metal's rise was supported by declining US Treasury yields and a weaker US Dollar amidst a light economic calendar. Geopolitical risks also played a major role, with Russia’s intensified attacks on Ukraine and US President Joe Biden’s authorization of long-range missile use within Russia further boosting demand for Gold. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Gold prices recovered at the end of November 2024 thanks to tensions in the world, Russia - Ukraine; Korean peninsula.

GBPJPY: Potential for Further Rise Amid BOJ UncertaintiesGBPJPY: Potential for Further Rise Amid BOJ Uncertainties Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda stated that the economy is making progress toward achieving sustained wage-driven inflation, but provided few clues on whether the central bank might raise interest rates next month. The market remains uncertain about a potential rate hike, as the BOJ has not yet altered its Monetary Policy statement, leaving the JPY vulnerable to market speculation. Although the JPY is not in the same situation as it was a few months ago, the significant difference in interest rates compared to other countries remains a strong reason for its continued weakness. Technical Analysis: GBPJPY completed a bullish harmonic pattern at 194.30. The initial price reaction was a clear push of nearly +100 pips. Following this brief pause, GBPJPY is expected to rise again. While it is somewhat risky, this projection aligns with fundamental analysis. GBPJPY may reach the first two targets this week. Targets: 🎯 196.30 🎯 196.85 🎯 197.50 You may find more details in the chart!

BTC/USD is ready to move fast!🟢 BTC/USD is ready to move fast! BTC/USD is doing a rising wedge in the middle of the last rally. Last time we've seen this same pattern (november 7th) was broken up and the price moved fast to the $90k zone. Right now, we have 3 scenarios: 🟢 The most posible scenario, an upside break to see the price reaching the $100k soon. This kind of pattern is bullish and usually breaks upwards with a strong rally. 🟡 Sometimes, the pattern breaks down. Would this happen, the price will have a major support in the 86-87k$ zone. While we trade over those prices, we can only wait to see what pattern is unfolding. Could be both, bullish or bearish! 🔴 If the yellow scenario happens and BTC also loses the 86k$ area, we would be in front of a major sell-off of bitcoin that could potentially move the price to the 7Xs zones. Stay tunned!! How to trade this scenario? I would recommend you to stay away of this kind of scenario, it's too open. Anyway, a good way is to buy near the yellow line with tight stop loss and a large TP under $100k. If you want to short the BTC could be like a suicide, but you could do it once the yellow line is broken and you should see a decrease to the 87k$ zone. The risk return ratio is quite bad but it's true that this must be an extremely fast movement to do some profits.
