Bitcoin - More blood will follow (Do not buy now, buy here!)Bitcoin is completely manipulated by the banks and huge institutions. They sent Bitcoin down just to make your Christmas and New Year celebrations bad. But luckily I warned you about this crash a few days ago, just before it happened in my previous analysis, when almost everyone was drunk with strong greed. Bitcoin crashed by 15% so far; altcoins are down by 30% to 70%. The last days were very profitable, but let's focus on the future, because that's the most important. Bitcoin bounced a bit from 92k to 99k, giving players hope that the bottom is in. But do not be fooled, this looks like a corrective move for multiple reasons. The first reason is that the crash was extremely fast and strong, pretty much no one expected such a drop in the short term. My Elliott Wave analysis suggests that this is a strong impulse wave 12345 and therefore the start of a larger corrective structure ABC. We have finished wave A, now we are in wave B, and we can expect wave C to finish at around 85k! You want to take a Fibonacci extension, as you can see on my chart. I strongly recommend waiting for 85k because we have an unfilled FVGAP on the daily chart, and this needs to be tested. 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. I share my trades privately. Thank you, and I wish you successful trades!

"The King's Gambit" To all of you navigating this battlefield with me, let me make one thing clear: the double bottom isn’t just a signal—it’s a declaration of intent. I’ve secured my long position at 1.5, with a strategy that commands respect. This isn’t guesswork; it’s precision. The pattern shows a textbook lower low (LL), higher low (HL), and lower high (LH), all working in tandem with the Bollinger Bands—a dual lower band setup that signals a trend reversal with laser accuracy. The target? S108,502—a zone destined to be conquered, and we’re on the frontlines. But listen closely, because this is where the battle heats up. If USDT.D starts creeping back in, attempting to reclaim control and push Bitcoin’s price downward, I’ll act without hesitation. I’ll close the position, no questions asked. Yes, the potential for S108k is clear, but this isn’t just about potential—it’s about power, precision, and adaptability. This market is a game of strategy, not emotion. We don’t follow the herd; we follow the truth of the charts. The whales may be laying low now, but they’re setting the stage for a move that will catch the unprepared off guard. Retail traders are walking into traps they may not see, but not us. Not here. We play this game differently. We act boldly, with purpose, and we don’t let the noise distract us from the mission. This isn’t just a trade—it’s a statement. We don’t wait for opportunities; we create them. The S108k zone is ours to take, but only if we remain sharp, decisive, and ahead of the game. This is our moment, and I’ll see you at the top. Let’s move like kings and queens—because that’s exactly what we are.

"Altcoins: The Untold Story" Let’s break this down step by step, so it all makes sense. Bitcoin Dominance and Altcoin Movement • Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) above altcoin prices means that altcoins move up more cautiously because Bitcoin is still holding the majority of market power. • When altcoins started picking up, we saw it happen at point A. o Look at the ADX during that time—compare its size back then to what it is now. o Now, ask yourself: Where did TOTAL3 fall? It fell during Bitcoin’s bull flag, and that’s what created the weakness in altcoins. ________________________________________ Recovery and Current Strength • After that, TOTAL3 regained strength as Bitcoin moved up. But here’s the key point: o Altcoins didn’t follow. o Even though Bitcoin surged, altcoins remained stagnant, losing momentum. ________________________________________ The Impact of Bitcoin’s Bull Flag on Altcoins • As Bitcoin formed a bull flag, traders sold off their positions as Bitcoin fell, further weakening altcoins. • Now that Bitcoin has gained even more power, some people are claiming that alt season is over. o But let’s be real—where’s the liquidity? o Altcoins haven’t fully surged yet, and this is critical to understand. ________________________________________ The Date Range Analysis • Let’s look at the timeline: o From the previous date until now, we’re looking at 147 days remaining in this period. o However, we also need to add back the 182 days lost during Bitcoin’s bull flag when altcoins were weak. o Together, that gives us a total of 329 days. • These 329 days don’t fully count as part of the altcoin bull market because: 1. Altcoins were on pause while Bitcoin dominated. 2. These days only apply to the few altcoins that moved with Bitcoin, like XRP, ORCA, and BOBBA, while others didn’t. ________________________________________ Altcoin Season Hasn’t Started Yet • Altcoin season isn’t here yet, and I’ll explain why: o Bitcoin and altcoins go hand in hand. It’s not just Bitcoin alone—it’s all part of the same package. o Mixing Bitcoin’s bull market with altcoins is misleading. It’s like ordering a Happy Meal at McDonald’s but only getting a burger and drink—where are the fries and the toy? The full package hasn’t arrived yet. ________________________________________ ADX and Smart Money Trendline • The ADX hasn’t made its big move yet, but it’s getting ready. • The Smart Money Directional Trendline, which I pulled from the 15-minute timeframe, is pointing upward. o Interestingly, TOTAL3’s price fell right to where the Smart Money Trendline predicted. o This is a strong indication that TOTAL3 will follow that upward direction soon. ________________________________________ What to Expect Next • As BTC.D starts trending downward, altcoins will explode. o Historically, when Bitcoin dominance falls, altcoins rally hard. o Altcoin bull markets are characterized by sustained growth, independent of Bitcoin’s short-term moves. o TOTAL3 shows that altcoins are primed for movement but are currently held back by Bitcoin’s dominance. ________________________________________ Conclusion Altcoin season isn’t over—it hasn’t even started yet. My studies suggest that alt season could begin around January 2025 or sooner. • We need to differentiate between altcoins that have already followed Bitcoin’s cycle and those that haven’t. • Altcoins that were part of Bitcoin’s recent bull moves, like XRP and ORCA, have taken part of their cycle. But others still have their time to shine. ________________________________________ Altcoin season is like a wave—it hasn’t arrived yet, but when it does, it’ll be unmistakable. The data shows the potential for explosive growth as Bitcoin’s dominance starts to decline. Until then, patience is key, and we’ll continue studying the patterns for confirmation before jumping in.

"The Liquidity Heist"Alright, let’s break this down because what we’re seeing here is no ordinary chart—this is the battleground where smart money and retail traders collide, and the story it’s telling is absolutely fascinating. First, look at the Pi Cycle Moving Average. This isn’t just any moving average—it’s a dynamic gauge of momentum, and right now, it’s sloping downward. Bears might think they’re in control, but here’s the catch: this MA has been tested repeatedly, and when it flips, it has the potential to spark a significant trend reversal. So, it’s not just a line—it’s the pulse of the market. Now, the Smart Money True Value Line. This green line isn’t some random support. This is where the big players, the whales, the institutions—whatever you want to call them—step in. It’s their hunting ground. When price hovers near this zone, it’s not just a coincidence. It’s where the market pauses, recalibrates, and potentially rebounds. Smart money doesn’t play the same game as retail—they’re the architects of these moves. And what about the VWAP? The 1-Day VWAP is sitting above the current price. What does that mean? It means the market is undervalued compared to where volume-weighted price action expects it to be. It’s like gravity pulling the price upward, creating the perfect setup for a mean reversion. Now, here’s where it gets interesting—the squeeze. See those yellow "+" symbols at the bottom? That’s a volatility squeeze, my friend. The market’s tightening, pressure’s building, and this is where breakouts are born. It’s like a coiled spring just waiting to release its energy. And considering all the factors on this chart, that energy seems primed for an upward explosion. But let’s talk about the manipulation, shall we? Look at that $95,631 level—the stop-loss zone for short positions. This is where retail traders were baited into a trap. Whales engineered this move to trigger stop losses, creating a cascade of selling below that level. And what did they do? They quietly scooped up liquidity, leaving retail traders scrambling while they prepared for the next big move. This isn’t speculation—it’s how the game is played. And those ATR Shark Fins? These are the finishing touch. Every time you see these fins at the bottom of the trend, they’re screaming, ‘Pullback incoming!’ It’s like the market’s way of saying it’s overextended, exhausted, and ready for a reversal. And here they are again, flashing at us like a signal in the dark. So, what’s the verdict? While the bullish arrow is gone, the pieces are still in place. The Smart Money True Value Line, the squeeze, and the manipulation beneath $95,631 all point to one thing: an upward move is brewing. But—and here’s the kicker—we need confirmation. The market loves to keep us guessing, so until we see price action reclaim critical levels, we stay sharp, we stay ready, and we don’t jump the gun. This chart isn’t just data; it’s a story of psychology, manipulation, and opportunity. The question is—are you paying attention? When going long, it's crucial to recognize that upward price movements are likely to face a reversal. This is due to USDT.D manipulation, as seen on the weekly timeframe. I've detailed this setup in my idea titled 'The Institutional Ambush,' which highlights how these patterns are orchestrated by institutional forces. Always trade with caution and awareness of the bigger picture.

Why I Think More Companies Will Buy Themselves Back in 2025I noticed that Nordstrom is making headlines today as the Nordstrom family moves to take the company private, effectively "buying it back" from public shareholders. I find this fascinating and may add it to one of my themes for 2025: more small and mid cap companies will leave public markets and go private. What is Nordstrom's doing? The strategy involves acquiring all outstanding shares not already owned by the family, removing Nordstrom from the public stock exchange. Taking the company private allows the family to regain full control, enabling strategic decisions without the pressure of quarterly earnings reports or shareholder scrutiny. Actually, the exact quote from the company is rather interesting: The Nordstrom family believes it will be more successful without the scrutiny and demands of the public market. For Nordstrom, going private could mean focusing on long-term investments and restructuring without the constraints of public market expectations, costs or regulations. Ah, the freedom to build! A few things to note about this: 1. Look at the trend of Nordstrom's in the chart above into this go private offer. 2. Nordstrom's will save massively on legal costs and fees associated with going public. 3. I think more companies that are floundering at the small and mid cap level will opt to go in this direction. 4. More CFOs and CEOs will ask if it's worth it to stay public if there is no immediate benefit. 5. What's also interesting is that the companies can always go public again if they think they need to raise money once again or need to tap back into the markets. This will be a space to watch and I will be writing about this more in 2025.

an overview of BitcoinBTC was in a Rising wedge but the bearish break out happened and the Price has reduced accordingly. BTC has done positive reactions to 93k support and no divergences are seen on MACD and RSI indicators which suggest that we would see a bullish movement after a candle closes around 93k. worst case scenario would be that the price ignore the 93k support and continue It's bearish movement. In that case the next strong support would be around 86700 resistance would be around 107k after the bullish movement

DOGS/USDT: Bearish Continuation or Relief Bounce Ahead?hello guys! let's analyze Dogs! Liquidity Sweep ("Hunted"): A recent liquidity grab above the $0.0009000 resistance level indicates that smart money may have trapped late buyers before the sharp sell-off. This bearish move aligns with the concept of liquidity hunting, where key levels are taken out before price reverses. Bearish Momentum: DOGS/USDT has broken below the mid-range support zone ($0.0006800-$0.0007000), suggesting strong bearish pressure. The price is currently retesting this zone as resistance, a critical area for determining the next move. Key Levels to Watch: Immediate Resistance: The previous support zone at $0.0006800-$0.0007000 is now acting as resistance. A rejection here could confirm a continuation of the downtrend. Support Levels: The critical support level lies at $0.0004500-$0.0004700 (purple zone). A break below this could open the door for a deeper correction toward $0.0003500. Possible Scenarios: Bearish Continuation: If the price fails to reclaim $0.0006800, expect a drop to the major support at $0.0004500. A breakdown below this zone could trigger panic selling. Short Position: Entry: Near $0.0006800-$0.0007000. Targets: $0.0004500, followed by $0.0003500. Stop Loss: Above $0.0007300. Long Position (Aggressive): Entry: Near the purple support zone ($0.0004500). Targets: $0.0006800, followed by $0.0009000. Stop Loss: Below $0.0004300.

The Crypto Market Game: How to Win Against Fear and ManipulationDid you really think profiting from the current bull run (a comprehensive upward market) would be easy? Don't be naive. Do you think they’ll let you buy low, hold, and sell high without any struggle? If it were that simple, everyone would be rich. But the truth is: 90% of you will lose. Why? Because the crypto market is not designed for everyone to win. They will shake you. They will make you doubt everything. They will create panic, causing you to sell at the worst possible moment. Do you know what happens next? The best players in this game buy when there’s fear, not sell—because your panic gives them cheap assets. This is how the game works: strong hands feed off weak hands. They exaggerate every dip, every correction, every sell-off. They make it look like the end of the world so you abandon everything. And when the market rises again, you’re left sitting there asking, “What just happened?” This is not an accident. It’s a system. The market rewards patience and punishes weak emotions. The big players already know your thoughts. They know exactly when and how to stir fear, forcing you to give up. When you panic, they profit. They don’t just play the market—they play you. That’s why most people never succeed: they fall into the same traps over and over again. People don’t realize that dips, FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt), and panic are all part of the plan. But the winners? They block out the noise. They know that fear is temporary, but smart decisions last forever. We’ve seen this play out hundreds of times. They pump the market after you sell. They take your assets, hold them, and sell them back to you at the top—leaving you with nothing, wondering how it happened. Don’t play their game. Play your own.

BTC WAS CREATED TO GIVE EVERYBODY A CHANCE AT CREATING WEALTHALL assets are a measurement of human behavior ,price reacts to emotions . In order for retail to buy it must be at a level that causes a reaction to create momentum, BULL or BEAR. Any market is based in probability, so you must have two thesis. My analysis shows BTC going down which is not bad ,most people like discounts . Do not get scared if you a bull BTC will have another thrust maybe in 2025. I say maybe because most retail buyers not sitting on extra money and rates are still high for cheap money to come in and create huge momentum

After the volatility period around December 27th... (Title) What will it look like after the volatility period around December 27th --------------------------------------- Hello, traders. If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly. Please click "Boost" as well. Have a good day today. ------------------------------------- USDT is currently showing a gap down, although small. USDC is showing a gap up steadily. The gap up of USDT and USDC means that funds are flowing into the coin market. I think the start of the altcoin bull market should be below 55.01 and maintained or show a downward trend. The decline in USDT dominance is likely to result in a rise in the coin market. If it rises above 4.97, the coin market is likely to experience a sharp decline and the coin market is likely to show a downward trend. If USDC continues to fall, it is likely to fall to around 2.84. After that, it is expected that the coin market will gradually show a downward trend while rising. ------------------------------------- (BTCUSDT 1D chart) The HA-High indicator on the 1W chart is showing signs of being created at the 94742.35 point. Therefore, if the HA-High indicator of the 1W chart is generated, it is important to see if it can be supported near that area. If it falls without being supported, there is a possibility that it will meet the M-Signal indicator of the 1W chart. Before meeting the M-Signal indicator of the 1W chart, it is necessary to check if it is supported near 87.8K-89K. - The Momentum indicator is showing a continuous downward trend. We need to see if it shows an upward trend when a new candle is created. - Looking at the overall picture of BTC, it is still in the sideways section. Therefore, the point of interest is whether it can rise above 97821.58-98892.0 by rising near 92K-93.5K. - Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a successful transaction. -------------------------------------------------- - ​​Big picture I used TradingView's INDEX chart to check the entire range of BTC. (BTCUSD 12M chart) Looking at the big picture, it seems to have been maintaining an upward trend following a pattern since 2015. In other words, it is a pattern that maintains a 3-year upward trend and faces a 1-year downward trend. Accordingly, the upward trend is expected to continue until 2025. - (LOG chart) Looking at the LOG chart, you can see that the upward trend is decreasing. Accordingly, the 46K-48K range is expected to be a very important support and resistance range from a long-term perspective. Therefore, I expect that we will not see prices below 44K-48K in the future. - The Fibonacci ratio on the left is the Fibonacci ratio of the uptrend that started in 2015. That is, the Fibonacci ratio of the first wave of the uptrend. The Fibonacci ratio on the right is the Fibonacci ratio of the uptrend that started in 2019. Therefore, this Fibonacci ratio is expected to be used until 2026. - No matter what anyone says, the chart has already been created and is already moving. It is up to you how to view and respond to it. Since there is no support or resistance point when the ATH is updated, the Fibonacci ratio can be appropriately utilized. However, although the Fibonacci ratio is useful for chart analysis, it is ambiguous to use it as a support and resistance role. The reason is that the user must directly select the important selection points required to create the Fibonacci. Therefore, it can be useful for chart analysis because it is expressed differently depending on how the user specifies the selection point, but it can be seen as ambiguous for use in trading strategies. 1st: 44234.54 2nd: 61383.23 3rd: 89126.41 101875.70-106275.10 (when overshooting) 4th: 134018.28 151166.97-157451.83 (when overshooting) 5th: 178910.15 -----------------

The Data Secret Every Trader Needs!Master Data-Driven Decision Making for Ultimate Trading Success In the unpredictable world of financial markets, data-driven decision-making has become an indispensable asset for traders aiming to maximize their success. Studies reveal that traders who harness the power of data can potentially boost their success rate by over 50%. As we delve into the modern trading landscape, relying solely on instinct is no longer sufficient; a systematic, data-centric approach is necessary for informed decision-making. The Essence of Data-Driven Decision Making At its core, data-driven decision-making involves leveraging quantitative and qualitative data to guide trading strategies. This encompasses rigorous analysis of historical price movements, market trends, and economic indicators to inform investment choices. By employing this analytical lens, traders can uncover insights that are often obscured by subjective judgments or anecdotal experiences. This method mitigates emotional biases, fostering a disciplined trading approach. Analyzing robust data sets not only aids in minimizing risks but also enhances return on investment. Traders who embrace this systematic approach can continuously refine their methods, adapting to the ever-evolving market landscape. Categories of Data in Trading Understanding the various types of data available is crucial for traders to make informed decisions. Three primary categories of data—market, fundamental, and sentiment—serve as the bedrock of effective trading strategies. Market Data Market data encompasses vital information such as price movements, trading volume, and overall market trends. Price fluctuations highlight potential entry and exit points, while trading volume offers insights into the strength of those movements. By analyzing this data, traders can align their strategies with prevailing market conditions—whether bullish or bearish—allowing for informed and timely trading decisions. Fundamental Data Fundamental data is critical for assessing the economic and financial health of assets. This includes economic indicators like GDP growth or inflation rates, earnings reports from individual companies, and significant news events that may impact market conditions. By incorporating this information into their analyses, traders can make investment decisions that reflect both broader economic trends and company-specific performance metrics. Sentiment Data Sentiment data gauges market psychology, reflecting how traders feel about particular assets through tools that analyze social media, news, and investor surveys. Understanding market sentiment can uncover potential reversals or validate trading strategies. By comparing personal viewpoints against market sentiment, traders are better equipped to refine their tactics and confirm their analyses. Read also: Tools and Techniques for Data Analysis To leverage data effectively, traders must employ appropriate tools and techniques. A well-equipped trader can swiftly distill complex information into actionable insights. Analytical Tools Platforms like TradingView and MetaTrader are invaluable for traders seeking to visualize and analyze data. TradingView excels in its user-friendly interface and extensive range of technical indicators, while MetaTrader is suited for those interested in algorithmic trading and backtesting. Utilizing these tools allows traders to streamline their data analysis process and enhance trading efficiency. Technical Analysis Methods Technical analysis employs various techniques—such as moving averages, trend lines, and chart patterns—to forecast future price movements. Moving averages clarify trends by smoothing price data, while trend lines identify potential support and resistance levels. Recognizing chart patterns can also signal price reversals or continuations, empowering traders to make well-timed decisions based on historical behavior. Fundamental Analysis Techniques Fundamental analysis involves the examination of financial statements and economic indicators. Traders assess key metrics, including revenue and profitability ratios, to gauge a company’s financial health. Furthermore, comprehending economic indicators equips traders with a clearer understanding of market conditions and aids in identifying long-term opportunities. Crafting a Data-Driven Trading Strategy A robust, data-driven trading strategy is instrumental for successful navigation of complex financial markets. By establishing a structured trading plan, backtesting strategies, and committing to continual refinement, traders enhance their prospects for success. Developing a Trading Plan A trading plan serves as a strategic guide, encompassing clear goals, risk tolerance, and preferred trading style. To integrate data analysis within this plan, traders must identify crucial indicators that dictate entry and exit points. Historical market data should be leveraged to inform performance benchmarks and predictions regarding future price movements. This comprehensive plan should encompass position sizing and risk management principles to support data-driven decisions. Backtesting Strategies Backtesting involves simulating trades based on historical data to evaluate the effectiveness of trading strategies. This process reveals how strategies would have performed under various market scenarios, helping traders build confidence and identify areas for improvement. When backtesting, it’s vital to use robust datasets and Account for factors like slippage and transaction costs to ensure realistic results. Continuous Improvement The dynamic nature of financial markets necessitates ongoing evaluation and adaptation of trading strategies. Continuous improvement involves analyzing trade performance, identifying successes and shortcomings, and refining approaches based on data feedback. Embracing a culture of ongoing enhancement enables traders to respond effectively to market shifts and solidify their decision-making processes. Read also: Common Pitfalls of Disregarding Data While data-driven decision-making is crucial for trading success, many still overlook key aspects that jeopardize strategy effectiveness. Emotional reactions, cognitive biases, and excessive self-confidence can undermine trading performance. Emotional Trading Allowing emotions like fear and greed to influence trading decisions can lead to impulsive actions, disrupting logical analysis. This may result in holding onto losing positions too long or prematurely exiting profitable trades. Establishing rules that prioritize analytical processes over emotional responses, alongside rigorous risk management, is critical to maintaining objectivity. Confirmation Bias Confirmation bias occurs when traders selectively seek data supporting their existing beliefs while ignoring conflicting information. This mindset can skew market perceptions and impede adaptability. To counter this bias, traders should actively pursue diverse viewpoints and continuously challenge their assumptions, thereby fostering a comprehensive analytical approach. Overconfidence in Intuition Relying solely on instinct without grounding in data may lead to overconfidence and reckless decision-making. Traders must appreciate the importance of data analysis in their strategy, balancing intuition with a systematic approach to minimize the risk of costly errors. Read Also: In conclusion..

$XVG Prediction! Daily chart..Hello Traders, As of Late market showing sending mixed signals while BTC correcting. Altcoin market wide correction took place last couple of weeks and most coins deeply corrected! One can't be sure weather correction is fully completed or not but last few days some altcoins holding their grounds well while BTC correcting including XVG. On a daily chart $0.0018-$0.002 seems grenade proof support. Most importantly daily candle doesn't seem like want to close below $0.002 level. When I placed Fib retracement lines , it is clear that price action following the main retracement points as it is clearly marked on the chart. Moving Averages clearly bullish on daily timeframe while oscillators remain neutral. My favorite Chipher_B_divergence indicator flashing low green Dot! RSI indicator in the neutral zone which could mean that lots of room to go either direction. We also have Symmetrical Triangle .As the price moves toward the apex, it will inevitably breach the upper trendline for a breakout and uptrend on rising. Traders should watch for a volume spike and at least two closes beyond the trendline to confirm the break is valid and not a head fake. I am personally very bullish on this chart and will update this chart as we move along. We do have a different outcomes that could take a place next few months. I applied 7 different line arrows to simulate the possible price actions. Timeline is arbitrary. It could take shorter or longer time to achieve!
