🔥WHAT IS NEEDED FOR BITCOIN TO GROW HIGHER? 1300%vs4900%🚀🔥Hi friends! A lot of newbies consider these things as something bad. These make them very unhappy and disappointed because their position gets the loss. These things are the pullbacks or corrections after significant growth. Everyone is waiting for it now to buy more cheap crypto.
📊 The pullback is the price fall after significant growth. But why is it so good for price growth:
🔥 1. it makes the market (BTC as well) much healthier because it liquidates overleverage traders.
For example, -40% pullback liquidates all traders with 1.5x leverage and coll down the market (as it was in the 2016-2017 bull market).
🔥 2. it gives the opportunity to enter the long traders for the advanced traders. If we have 5-6 pullbacks every time after 100-150% growth, you can use already earned money in new trades (increase the risk per trade).
When the price doesn't make the pullbacks and you enter the trade at the very beginning of the bull market, you have no chance to exit the trade and use the margin from the profit to increase the risk per trade.
✅ COMPARISON OF 2016-2017 AND 2020-2021
🚩 2016-2017 BULL MARKET
The market had made 4900% of profit in just 2 years. I mention 6 huge dumps with 30-40% drawdowns. These dumps cool down the market and liquidate overleveraged traders. Lots of entrance opportunities. Hope the next bull market will be the same.
Of course, you can say that market was not as big as now and I agree with you. But the whole BTC capitalization is equal to 3.5% of the entire gold cap, so it's just the beginning for crypto.
🚩2020-2021 BULL MARKET
This bull market as well as the 2019 local bull market was almost with no pullbacks and entrance possibilities. Bitcoin had made just +1300% in 2 years. Just 3 pullbacks with +16-30%. Almost no liquidations and no cool down of the market. Not the best growth as the result.
In that bull market, the beginners can't even normally use their gaining margin to open new trades.
🔥 WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT BULL MARKET?
I think that this growth will be the same as at the last bull market. Of course, it will be some surprises as at each bull market, but it will grow nonstop.
I make a huge update about this in the last idea. Check it if you want to know what to expect from BTC and the crypto market here👇

Coin market theme!!! About coin ecosystemHello?
Traders, welcome.
If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly.
Please also click "Boost".
Have a nice day.
-------------------------------------
As the coin market goes through rising and falling markets, many themes are being created.
These themes are expanding the interconnected coin ecosystem under the name of ecosystem.
Therefore, I think that the coin market is highly likely to have a circulation pump of theme coins after the rising market next year.
Numerous coins (tokens) are being created and also disappearing.
In order to survive in this situation, they are trying to increase their viability by creating and expanding a coin ecosystem.
Apart from this trend, there are coins (tokens) that do not belong to any coin ecosystem.
When trading coins (tokens) that are continuing to survive independently, I think you should invest in a short-term perspective or trade in a trading method that increases the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to profit while recovering the principal amount as much as possible.
Otherwise, you have to be careful because when and how you can plunge and never recover again.
Existing investment companies, institutional investors, and whales are gradually eating into the coin market due to funds entering the coin market through USDC and newly launched coin investment products in the stock market.
These funds will make more individual investors invest in the investment market, but it is expected that the time when individual investors earn large profits by trading on their own will gradually decrease.
There will come a time when individual investors will have less and less information available, and they will have to follow in their footsteps and trade with information provided by investment companies, institutional investors, and whales.
I believe this movement is unstoppable.
Therefore, from now on, it is necessary to find the coins (tokens) that are expanding the coin ecosystem (ecosystem) that is being formed and tie them together to figure out what kind of circulation pumping will occur.
As before, it is expected that the roadmap of one coin (token) or such technical stories from the foundation will no longer be able to move the hearts of investors.
Among these coin ecosystems, the ones we are interested in are as follows.
Ethereum Ecosystem
BNB chain Ecosystem
Cardano Ecosystem
Solana Ecosystem
Polkadot Ecosystem
TRON Ecosystem
Avalanche Ecosystem
Polygon Ecosystem
Near Protocol Ecosystem
Cosmos Ecosystem
Fantom Ecosystem
Optimism Ecosystem
As above, it is an 11 coin ecosystem.
Representative coins of the coin ecosystem are as follows.
BTC
ETH
BNB
ADA
SOL
DOT
TRX
AVAX
MATIC
NEAR
ATOM
FTM
OP
In addition, it is a coin that has the potential to create coins and coin ecosystems with large user communities.
XRP
ALGO
KLAY
Among the coins belonging to most of the current coin ecosystems, LINK is a representative coin.
However, due to the coin's own issue, the coins that need to increase the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to profits while recovering the purchase principal as much as possible are as follows.
XRP
SOL
TRX
KLAY
OP
The above coins (tokens) have self-restraint issues, so I don't think it's good to trade them with the traditional trading method.
Of these, the OP token has just been created in the coin ecosystem, so I think a trading method is needed to increase the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to the profit while recovering the purchase principal as much as possible, at least until the next wave.
In conclusion, the coin market will start to be flooded with information comparable to the stock market after the bull market next year.
In this situation, in order to earn steady profits in the coin market, you need to start paying attention to a newly changing theme, the coin ecosystem.

BITCOIN - Using the CCI and RSI Indicators to Predict DumpsThis was a cool trick I learned a while back and I thought I would share. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is very similar to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but the CCI tends to be more sensitive. As a result, the CCI tends to drop when there is weakness in comparison to the RSI and the divergence in the two indicators becomes evident. I've highlighted to previous instances when the CCI dropped significantly in comparison to the RSI. Had you seen this, you could have exited your position and saved yourself a lot of money. The CCI is currently showing a strong bearish divergence to the RSI, which may very well be a foreshadowing of a coming BTC dump. As a result, I'm going to be in USD to be safe until I see the direction the market decides to go. I hope this trick helps you as much as it has helped me.
🟡 The Most Popular Myths About Bitcoin Debunked 🔑During the existence of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, a large number of erroneous judgments have appeared about them, which continue to spread among people even now. This leads to cryptocurrency being treated negatively, as the vast majority of myths about digital currencies are aimed at discrediting them.
In this article, we will look at the most popular of them and debunk them for good.
Bitcoin Can Be Hacked
Cryptocurrencies are created based on blockchain technology, which organizes a database consisting of a chain of blocks. Each successive block has information about previous blocks. Such a database is stored simultaneously on all computers of the system participants.
This technology is based on the principle of decentralization, that is, the database is not in one place, and all the computers participating in the system, form a network. To affect the network in any way, it is necessary to get 51% of its hash rate. Only then will it be possible to make changes to the transactions and impose their acceptance on a minority.
Bitcoin's computing power is distributed all over the world, and to try to take over the network, a large amount of hardware has to be combined. Still, mining companies will not destroy their source of income. And even if someone decides to attack the system, it will at most lead to failures, which will be eliminated with emergency updates.
However, cryptocurrency exchanges and other digital money services are vulnerable to hacking.
Bitcoin Is Not Backed By Anything
Back in 1971, the U.S. authorities abandoned the Bretton Woods system (the gold standard), and the U.S. dollar lost its peg to gold. Since then, the U.S. currency has not been specifically backed but is directly dependent on the country's financial stability.
To understand what bitcoin is secured with and how its price is formed, it is necessary to consider the value and functionality that the cryptocurrency presents to its owner:
Anonymity. No one monitors bitcoin transfers and has no right to influence (cancel or suspend) the transaction in any way;
Low commissions. In the network of the main cryptocurrency, there is a fixed commission for transfers, which is set based on the load on the network. It means that the commission will be the same if you transfer $100 and $100k, as well as any other amount;
Speed. Bitcoin transactions are usually instantaneous. Allowable delays range from a few minutes to one hour, depending on network load;
Limitlessness. You can transfer bitcoins anywhere in the world. The main thing is that the recipient has a cryptocurrency wallet.
Thus, bitcoin allows making anonymous payments and money transfers of any amount, regardless of the location of the sender and the recipient of the cryptocurrency. This factor, combined with bitcoin's limited issuance (21 million coins), determines the demand that subsequently forms the cryptocurrency's price.
Bitcoin Is Used Only By Criminals
The anonymity that cryptocurrencies give does allow the use of digital coins in illegal schemes. But, in this case, it is no different from cash, which is also used in illegal activities.
Last year, bitcoin began to be actively bought by large companies to protect against inflation and other risks of the traditional financial market. For example, the main cryptocurrency of $1.5 billion was purchased by Tesla. According to CEO Elon Musk, Tesla sold 10% of bitcoins at the end of March and recorded a profit.
The oldest U.S. banks, such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan, are also showing interest in cryptocurrencies. The latter is already preparing to launch its first actively managed bitcoin fund. Goldman Sachs will also make cryptocurrency investments available to clients.
Bitcoin Is A Bubble
Back in 2010, the price of bitcoin was less than $1, but now it is worth more than $23,000. Other cryptocurrencies have also seen their prices go up by hundreds or thousands of times. This gave reason to compare the cryptocurrency market with a bubble that will surely burst, and investors will be left with nothing.
First of all, let's understand what a bubble is. It is an economic cycle of trading an asset characterized by an unsustainable growth of its market value. One of the first examples of such a bubble was the rise in the price of tulips in the Netherlands in the 17th century. At that time, their value soared tenfold, and never recovered after the collapse. There was also the famous dot-com bubble at the beginning of the century. Back then, the value of Internet companies soared and collapsed dramatically in a short period of time.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been around for more than a decade. During that time, they have gone through several cycles in which their value rose and fell. However, after all, previous falls, bitcoin has renewed its price records. Along with it, the entire cryptocurrency market grew.
As analysts explain, cryptocurrency fluctuations form a pattern typical of young markets. They expect assets to rise and fall with smaller fluctuations over time, and the time between these cycles will increase. That is, the cryptocurrency market will become more stable and predictable.
Buying Cryptocurrency Is Difficult
Many potential investors are deterred from buying crypto assets by their lack of experience. Since it is a new and technological tool, it may seem complicated. In fact, it is possible to invest through special exchanges, mobile applications, or other trading platforms. The registration procedure on them is usually no more complicated than, for example, creating an account on a social network or in an online store.
As a rule, the major exchangers ask to confirm the identity. To do this, it is necessary to upload a photo of the documents. This is a requirement of the world's regulators, which helps make exchanges more secure. However, those who value anonymity can also find exchanges where there are no such requirements.
The process of buying cryptocurrency itself is also simple. To do this, you can top up your account and use it to make purchases or pay with your card directly for each cryptocurrency purchase. In terms of complexity, this procedure can be compared to recharging a cell phone or buying goods.
One Needs A Lot Of Money To Buy Cryptocurrency
Most people learned about the existence of cryptocurrency when the price of bitcoin reached tens of thousands of dollars, which would seem to immediately cut off investors with a budget of a few hundred.
In fact, all services allow you to buy a share of bitcoin or another cryptocurrency. The minimum amount for which you can buy a cryptocurrency may vary from site to site, but usually, it's only a few hundred dollars.
If you buy a bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, you will earn on its growth, as well as those who operate with tens of thousands of dollars. If an asset doubles in value, for example, then the investments of everyone who holds it will also double. The same will happen if the crypto-asset becomes cheaper.
Only Pros Can Make Money With Cryptocurrency
There is a widespread belief that buying cryptocurrency is similar to trading on the forex market. They say you have to buy it when it goes down in price, sell it when it goes up in price, and so on in a circle. And in order to do that one has to understand its trends, news, and reasons for daily price changes.
Of course, that's how traders make money. However, most crypto investors are not actively trading. They only buy bitcoin or other tokens and wait for them to rise in price. This strategy is used by those who see the potential of cryptocurrencies in the long term. The superiority of this strategy is ease. You don't need to check the exchange rate every day and monitor the news.
Cryptocurrency Guarantees Anonymity
This myth arose because cryptocurrency allows for transactions outside of the banking system. There are also anonymous wallets, for the creation of which it is not necessary to enter any personal data.
At the same time, it should be taken into account that any transaction is recorded in the blockchain and saved forever. This means that if bitcoin has been in a wallet that is associated with criminal activity, no matter how much it is sent to other wallets, it cannot be "laundered". Law enforcement can access the blockchain data and track down the person who made the transactions. However, because this procedure is complicated, it is used only in special cases.
Everyone Who Buys Cryptocurrency Will Get Rich
There are a lot of stories about people who bought bitcoin when it was worth a few hundred and woke up rich a few years later. Similar cases occur with other coins that have increased in price tens or hundreds of times. However, this does not mean that everyone who buys cryptocurrency will certainly get rich.
Keep in mind that these are risky assets that can both rise and fall in value. In addition, their volatility is higher than that of stocks, real estate, or fiat currencies. Therefore, experts advise keeping 5% to 10% of their savings in crypto-assets.
Cryptocurrency Is A Vogue, And It Will Go Away Soon
A few decades ago, computers and e-mail were of interest only to a very limited number of technology enthusiasts. When Steve Jobs said that soon computers would be in every home, he was surprised to be asked, "what are they there for?".
The same thing is happening now with cryptocurrencies. So far, they have been used by a relatively limited number of people. But today's cryptocurrencies create ecosystems that, according to analysts, will continue to evolve, and there will be more and more practical applications for them.
There is growing interest in decentralized financial programs, which are safer, more reliable, and cheaper than the current systems. Tech giants are exploring ways to merge the real and digital worlds, using blockchain technology as a building block for this. States are thinking about creating their cryptocurrencies. So virtual assets, of course, will evolve and change but will remain with the technology on which they are based.
Conclusion
New tokens appear all the time and, quite possibly, some of them will increase in value hundreds of times. At the same time, some of them will depreciate or disappear altogether. Therefore, professionals advise diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio: keep most of the funds in popular cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin or Ethereum, and only part of the funds should be spent on new projects that seem promising. This will allow you to keep a balance between risk and reward.
bullish and bearish cup and handle pattern hello dear traders,
Here are some educational chart patterns that you must know in 2022 and 2025.

What are the Cup and Handle chart patterns?
A cup and handle pattern is a pattern of price movement on a trading chart that resembles a cup with a handle, from which it derives its name. The cup section of the pattern is formed from a U-shaped price movement, while the handle is a short price channel from the edge of the cup. The handle is actually a pullback after the right Swing of the cup.
As is the case with other chart patterns, the cup and handle pattern shows you how the price has moved in the immediate past, which can help you predict future price movements. The time it takes for pattern formation varies: pattern formation can be as short as seven weeks or as long as 65 weeks or more.
There are two types of patterns: the more popular bullish cup and handle pattern that you can see in bull markets and the inverted cup and handle pattern, also known as the bearish cup and handle pattern, that you can see in bear markets.
In the bullish variant, which occurs in an uptrend, the pattern is formed by a downswing (pullback) that gradually turns into an upswing (in the trend direction) followed by a small pullback (a slight downward drift that creates a handle )
The reversal/bearish type, which appears in a downtrend, is formed by an upswing (pullback) that gradually turns into a downswing to continue the downtrend, but then pulls back (handle) a bit.
Understanding the structure and inversion of the cup and handle pattern
The cup and handle pattern can form in any time frame, but as a swing trader, you should focus on the daily time frame. To identify the cup and handle pattern or reversal type, you need to understand the price movements that form its structure. For example, to be a continuation pattern, there must be a prior trend before a cup and handle pattern can form. Let us look at both patterns one by one.
The bullish Cup and Handle pattern:-
An uptrend: For a bullish cup and handle pattern to form, there must be an established uptrend, but the trend must not be too mature because the more mature the trend, the less likely it is to continue. A trend on the daily time frame that is a few months old is fine.
Cup: The cup is formed from a normal bust that gradually curves upward, creating a "U" shape. It should have a bowl or round bottom and not a sharp "V" shaped bottom. The round bottom ensures that there is a consolidation pattern with valid support at the bottom of the "U" cup. In addition, the pattern on both sides of the cup should be of equal height, but this may not always be the case.
Cup depth: The cup should not be too deep. Generally, the cup depth should be around the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the previous advance. However, with overreaction in more volatile markets, retracements can range from 38.3% to 50% Fibonacci. In extreme cases, the retracement can reach 61.8% Fibonacci, which is in line with Dow Theory.
Handle: This is a pullback that forms after the higher forms on the right side of the cup. This is a minor pullback or consolidation that sometimes resembles a downward-sloping flag or pennant. This is just a small, final consolidation/pullback before a bigger breakout, but could lead to a retracement to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the swing high of the cup. The smaller the retracement, the more bullish the formation and the more significant the breakout.
Duration: While the cup can last from 1 to 6 months (or several years on a weekly chart), the handle can take about 1-4 weeks to form.
The bearish/inverse Cup and Handle pattern:-
A downtrend (bear market): There must be an established downtrend for the inverted Cup and Handle pattern to be meaningful. However, the trend should be relatively young as downtrends don’t last that much. On the daily timeframe, the trend should be from a few weeks to a few months.
The dome (inverted cup): The dome of this pattern is formed by a normal price rally in a downtrend (pullback), which gradually turns to a downward swing, thereby forming a dome shape. It should have a rounding top and not a sharp pyramid top. A rounding top ensures that the inverted cup is a consolidation pattern with valid resistance at the top of the structure. Both sides of the dome may or may not have equal lows.
Dome height: The dome should not be too high. Usually, the height should be about 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the preceding downswing, but the retracement could range from 38.3% to 50% Fibonacci in more volatile markets with over-reactions. In extreme situations, it could be up to 61.8% Fibonacci.
The handle: This is a slight pullback that follows the downswing that forms the right side of the dome. It is a small consolidation that often looks like a bearish flag or pennant that slopes upward. The handle can retrace up to 38.2% Fibonacci of the dome’s swing down, but the smaller the retracement, the more bearish the formation and the more significant the breakout.
Duration: The dome may take about 4 to 6 weeks or more to form, while the handle may take about a week or two.
How to trade the Cup and Handle chart pattern:-
The Cup and Handle pattern and the inverse type are potent trend continuation signals. When you see any of them, you have to trade in the direction of the trend. While you can trade these price action chart patterns on their own, it may be wise to confirm the trend with some tools, like trend lines and moving averages.
Trading the bullish Cup and Handle pattern:-
The bullish Cup and Handle pattern forms an uptrend and gives a bullish breakout signal. You might have to fix an uptrend line or a moving average to confirm the trend. Here is how you trade the pattern:
Entry:-
With this pattern, a buy signal occurs when the price breaks out of the upper trend line of the price channel that forms the handle. There should be a substantial increase in volume on the breakout above the handle’s resistance. Go long at the close of the breakout candlestick. Alternatively, you place a stop-buy order slightly above that upper trend line. Sometimes, it is prudent to wait for a breakout above the resistance line established by the highs of the cup.
Stop loss:-
You need a stop-loss order to get you out of the trade if after buying the breakout, the price drops, instead of rising. Your stop loss should be at a level that invalidates the pattern’s signal, and that level is below the lowest point of the handle.
Profit target:-
There are two potential profit target levels for this pattern. The first profit target is estimated by measuring a distance equivalent to the size of the handle, starting from the breakout point. The second profit target is estimated by measuring a distance equal to the depth of the cup, again, starting from the point of the breakout.
Trading the bearish Cup and Handle pattern:-
The bearish Cup and Handle pattern forms a downtrend and is traded as a bearish breakdown signal. So, you can use it to go short on the market if you want. This is how you trade the pattern:
Entry:-
You have a sell signal when the price breaks below the lower trend line of the price channel that forms the handle. There should be a spike in volume when this breakdown happens. You may go short at the close of the breakdown candlestick, or you place a stop-sell order slightly below that lower trend line. It might be wise to wait for a break below the support line established by the lows of the inverted cup.
Stop loss:-
When you are trading the inverse Cup and Handle pattern, you should place your stop loss order above the highest point of the handle.
Profit target:-
Two potential levels are good for your profit target: the first profit level is estimated by measuring a distance equal to the size of the handle, starting from the breakdown point, while the second profit level is estimated by measuring a distance equal to the height of the dome (inverted cup), starting from the point of the breakdown.

Head and Shoulder and Inverse Head and Shoulder differencehello dear traders,
Here are some educational chart patterns that you must know in 2022 and 2025.
I hope you find this information educational and informative.
We are new here so we ask you to support our views with your likes and comments,
Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, and we'll try to answer them all, folks.
What is the head and shoulders pattern:-
The head and shoulders pattern is used in technical analysis. This is a typical chart formation that predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal. The pattern appears as a baseline with three peaks, where the outer two are close in height, and the middle is the highest.
The head and shoulders pattern is formed when the price of a stock rises to a peak and then retraces to the base of the previous up-move. Then, the price rises above the previous peak to form a "head" and then back to the original base. Finally, the stock price reaches the level of the formation's first peak before turning down again.
The Head and Shoulders pattern is considered to be one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns. It is one of several top patterns that signal with varying degrees of accuracy that an uptrend is nearing its end.
Formation of the pattern:-
Left shoulder: Price rise followed by a price peak, followed by a decline.
Head: Price rise again forming a higher peak.
Right shoulder: A decline occurs once again, followed by a rise to form the right peak,
which is lower than the head.
What Is the Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern:-
inverse head and shoulders, also called a "head and shoulders bottom", is similar to the standard head and shoulders pattern, but inverted: with the head and shoulders top used to predict reversals in downtrends.
This pattern is identified when the price action of security meets the following characteristics: the price falls into a trough and then rises again; the price falls below the former trough and rises again; Finally, the price falls again but not to the second trough. Once the final trough is formed, the price moves upwards towards the resistance found near the top of the previous trough.
Formation of the pattern:-
Left shoulder: Price declines followed by a price bottom, followed by an increase.
Head: Price declines again forming a lower bottom.
Right shoulder: Price increases once again, then declines to form the right bottom.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Head and Shoulders Pattern:-
Advantages:-
Experienced traders identify it easily
Defined profit and risk
Big market movements can be profited from
Can be used in all markets
Disadvantages:-
Novice traders may miss it
Large stop loss distances possible
Unfavorable risk-to-reward possible
Advantages Explained:-
Experienced traders identify it easily: The pattern is very recognizable to an experienced trader.
Defined profit and risk: Short and long entry levels and stop distance can be clearly defined with confirmation openings and closings.
Big market movements can be profited from: The timeframe for a head and shoulders pattern is fairly long, so a market can move significantly from entry to close price.
Can be used in all markets: The pattern can be used in forex and stock trading.
Disadvantages Explained:-
Novice traders might miss it: The head and shoulders pattern may not present with a flat neckline; it may be skewed, which can throw off new traders.
Large stop loss distances possible: Large downward movement over long timeframes can result in a large stop distance.
The neckline can appear to move: If the price pulls back, the neckline might be retested, confusing some traders.

6 Reliable Bullish Candlestick PatternHello dear traders,
Here are some educational chart patterns that you must know in 2022 and 2023.
I hope you find this information educational and informative.
We are new here so we ask you to support our views with your likes and comments,
Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, and we'll try to answer them all, folks.
6 Reliable Bullish Candlestick Pattern
1) The Hammer
2) Bullish Engulfing Crack
3) Bearish Engulfing Sandwich
4) Morning Star
5) Tweezer Bottom
6) Piercing Line
1. The Hammer:-
Hammer is a bullish candlestick reversal candle.
Which is formed within the next few candles. As the price declines sharply, we anticipate a final bounce.
But how can we estimate without falling into overselling?
That's where Hammer comes into play. This gives us evidence that the selling pressure is subsiding or being absorbed. Furthermore, if the volume signature associated with the hammer candle is significant, it adds even more confidence to our thesis.
We are looking to cash in on shorts who are taking profits and covering, as well as dip buyers who are taking chances here on oversold positions. Expectation? an assembly.
Ideally, you identify a hammer candle, take a long position on a break on the upside of the candle, and set risk on the low or in the body of the hammer.
Bullish Hammer Example;-
Let’s look at a real-life example with BTC. Right off the open, BTC retests the lows from the pre-market. Once it reaches those levels, volume increases slightly as it reverses on the 5-minute chart seen here.
Visibly, there is a “shelf” forming near the low of the hammer candle’s body. The bar to the left and right is also closed and open in that price “shelf” area.
The second 5-minute chart opens with a bit of weakness, then rallies strongly above the Hammer candle.
This is your signal to go long. The break of the Hammer candle body.
Set the stop below the close of this bullish 5-minute candle.
2. Bullish Engulfing Crack:-
You can imagine that shorts will start covering given the rising price of the stock. This adds fuel to the already existing buying pressure.
The result is a bullish candlestick pattern that swallows up the bears' efforts. For the long-biased trader, the opportunity is perfect.
As is the case with any setup, we are looking for evidence to sway our confidence in either direction. The fact that the bears completely got away in this single bar is proof enough for us.
You go long on the break of the previous bar and set the stop on the low.
Bullish Engulfing Examples:-
Here's a snapshot of BTC, which provided us with a beautiful opening range breakout (ORB) opportunity right out of the gate on this particular day:
After the selloff, buyers come in and remove the selling pressure from the pre-market, engulfing the bears before moving up.
To be safe, you enter long when the red candle breaks, setting your risk at the low level or body of the first green candle.
There are some advanced traders who are more aggressive and may take their positions early if they feel a reversal is imminent.
3. Bearish Engulfing Sandwich:-
do not be confused. Just because the name says "bearish" doesn't mean it's a bearish pattern. Far from it, actually. It is often referred to as a stick sandwich.
The name is derived from the sandwiching of a "bearish engulfing" candle by two bullish candles. Thus, it is a bullish candlestick pattern in this context.
Similar to the above example of a Bullish Engulfing Crack, this pattern takes a bit longer to "move through" so to speak. Essentially an extra bar.
The perception is that the trend has reversed and we are now going down. After all, the bearish engulfing candle gives us that confidence,
If you're on the smaller side, there's hope. However, stocks don't always do what we want them to. We have to react to what the market gives us, not what we think should happen.
In this case, the Bearish Engulfing Crack is used by two bullish candles that move upwards. If you are short, hopefully, you have respected your stop loss. If you are a long-time bias, here is a good opportunity for you.
Bearish Engulfing Sandwich Example:-
After opening with a 5-minute candle chart, BTC gives a great view of it in real-time.
In this case, the right side of the sandwich acts similarly to the Bullish Engulfing Crack candlestick pattern. For all intents and purposes, you should treat your entries and risk according to the same pattern.
4. The Morning Star:-
Morning Star should gap down. It's difficult to find on an intraday basis. For this reason, we are good enough for a solid Doji candle reversal pattern.
The opening candle should be long-bodied and bearish. The middle candle is the one with the smaller body. A reversal candle is another bullish candle with a long body (usually gaping up). The close of this bullish long-bodied candle should be above the midpoint of the first candle.
Without much selling pressure, the candlestick climbs to higher prices as sellers cover and buyers take advantage of discounted stock pricing.
Morning stars can also appear as morning Doji stars. They look almost identical except for the body of the middle candle. The story of buyers and sellers remains the same.
Bullish Morning Star Example:-
You can see this in action with the BTC example below. A long-body bearish candle, followed by a narrow-body indecision candle. The bulls take control of the next candle and the rest is history.
It is worthwhile to note the volume of the first candle. We cannot assume that this is a complete recession. As you can see, there is buying pressure at lower levels. When a Doji candle is formed, it gives us confidence.
As a result, as soon as the price moves away from the lower level of the green candle; It does this in small amounts.
How can we explain that?
It took less effort to increase the price. Therefore, we can assume that the reverse is "ease of movement". This should give us confidence in our long position.
5. Tweezer Bottom:-
The Tweezer Bottom Bullish candlestick pattern consists of two candles – usually with small bodies. The first should be a red/bearish candle, and the second a green/bullish candle.
Theoretically, the Tweezer Bottom alerts the chart reader to the fact that an attempt is being made to push the price down, but to no avail. Two smaller-sized candles represent the presence of demand in the market.
Supply is being absorbed keeping candles short in the presence of selling pressure, so the volume sign will appear higher.
Entry should be taken as soon as the price breaks through the second candle. Stops can be set on the lows.
Bullish Tweezer Bottom Example:-
BTC is displaying a beautiful tweezer bottom candlestick pattern for us on the 5-minute chart. Note the narrow bodies of the two candlesticks, their symmetry, and the close range from red to green.
The volume of this first red Doji is particularly interesting. Note how high it is here. Given the context, we can interpret this as an absorption of supply.
The second candlestick (green) then rapidly decreases in volume. Thus, our thesis is confirmed that sales are absorbed and eliminated.
6. Piercing Line:-
The piercing line may look similar to a bullish engulfing pattern. The exception is that the piercing line does not completely encircle the previous candle.
It is still considered a bullish candlestick pattern as it overcame the downward momentum to close at least midway in the body of the previous candle.
It pierces the bottom line but inevitably retraces.
Bullish Piercing Line Example:-
Piercing lines may present a greater risk to reward at lower levels of support. They can also act as a spring in the trading range.
This 5-minute chart of BTC shows the combination of an opening range breakout (ORB) with a piercing line. Together, it's a combination that can really add confidence to our entryways.
As with any setup, the more evidence we have to confirm our bias and plan, the better. For this reason, it is always good to ask yourself:
Are the trends in my favor?
Is it time for a change?
Does the volume confirm my thesis?
Is the stock in an area of support or resistance?
Are the multiple timeframes in line with my view?

What's the Difference? Fundamental vs TechnicalHello dear traders,
Here are some educational chart patterns that you must know in 2022 and 2023.
I hope you find this information educational and informative.
We are new here so we ask you to support our views with your likes and comments,
Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, and we'll try to answer them all, folks.
Fundamental vs. Technical Analysis:-
Fundamental and technical analysis are two major schools of thought when it comes to approaching the markets, yet are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Investors and traders use both to research and forecast future stock prices. Like any investment strategy or philosophy, both have advocates and adversaries.
Fundamental Analysis:-
Fundamental analysis evaluates stocks by attempting to measure their intrinsic value. Fundamental analysts study everything from the overall economy and industry conditions to the financial strength and management of individual companies. Earnings, expenses, assets, and liabilities all come under scrutiny by fundamental analysts.
Technical Analysis:-
Technical analysis differs from fundamental analysis, in that traders attempt to identify opportunities by looking at statistical trends, such as movements in a stock's price and volume. The core assumption is that all known fundamentals are factored into the price, thus there is no need to pay close attention to them. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value. Instead, they use stock charts to identify patterns and trends that suggest what a stock will do in the future.
Trade with care.

🔥THE BEST TIME TO BUY ALTCOINS: DOMINACE AND ALTSEASON🔥 Hi friends! All you know and like the time when altcoins make +50-100% or more profit just in 1-2 weeks. Most of the traders enjoy this time. Dominance is a key thing that helps us to identify such periods (altseasons) and buy alts in time.
📊 WHAT IS ALTSEASON AND WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
Altseason is a time when most altcoins grow by 30% or more.
THE TWO MAIN REASONS OF ALTSEAON:
1. BTC capitalization outflow and its inflow in altcoins (dominance fall).
🚩 Dominance is the ratio between the total value of all Bitcoins to the total value of the crypto market ( Bitcoin + altcoins). Altcoins start ti griw when it falls.
Bitcoin currently has a $320 billion capitalization and for Bitcoin these $1-2B globally do not mean anything. As the altcoins have a lower capitalization, when $1-2 billion from Bitcoin flows into any altcoin, it can grow by 100% or more. With large outflows (10-20% of Bitcoin's capitalization), the growth of all altcoins (altseason) begins.
2. huge money inflow in altcoins during periods of "greed", when crypto market makes new ATH or BTC is at the last stage of bull market (parabolic growth). The BTC dominance falls in this case too.
All you know the periods when BTC make a new ATH and this is a most comfortable time to grow your deposit - everything is just exploding.
✅ As Bitcoin is still far from its highs, which is the second reason for the growth of altcoins, we should look for the first reason, which is the flow of money from BTC to altcoins now. Our main task is to buy good altcoins just before the altseason.
📊 WHEN WILL THE NEXT ALTSEASON START?
Friends, as you can see on the chart, the altseason begin when the BTC dominance falls. Now we should expect the next atseason when BTC reaches 50-54% of dominance.
✅ The altcoins start PUMPS during this dominance fall as was shown at 1 and 2 cases.
Friends, I will publish a list and trading setups of the best altcoins when that time comes. Let me know which altcoin I should pay attention to. Write it's ticker in the comments.
💻Friends, press the "boost"🚀 button, write comments and share with your friends - it will be the best THANK YOU.
P.S. Personally, I open an entry if the price shows it according to my strategy.

🔥THE WORST YEAR FOR CRYPTO: 2022 OVERVIEW AND 2023 FORECAST✅🔥Hi friends! Bitcoin fall from $41 500 to $15 500 by 42% this year. 2022 was an amazing year, especially if you are trading using downtrend strategies. But who will be the winner in 2023? Long or short traders? Read more in this idea!
📊
WHAT WERE THE MAIN REASON FOR BTC DUMP IN 2022?
1.
LUNA, UST, and Do Kwon are the first such major crash this year. The algorithmic stablecoin UST lost its peg to $ and pulled down the LUNA token, which it was backed by.
Terra LUNA had one of the largest amounts of Bitcoin. In total, they had about 81,000 BTC in their wallets, but this did not save them from the fall. LUNA was top-10 altcoin by capitalization but fall from $110 to $0.01.
BTC fell from $31 000 to $17 900 by 44%.
2. FTX, FTT and Sam Bankman-Fried. At that moment, it seems like BTC begin to recover and already reached $21 500 after the 4 month consolidation (accumulation) from June to November. CZ tweeted about FTT sell off just only opened eyes to the problem of the #2 exchange.
🚩 Bitcoin fell to $15 500 but actually, it`s not a huge dump, as was all the year before. This fact indicates that there are almost no sellers in the markets and recovery is highly possible.
📊 THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE BITCOIN HISTORY
The Q1 2022 started with a small fall, but after this, the series of negative events in the cryptocurrency market pushed the price of bitcoin lower and lower. Now we should say that this is the worst year ever.
✅ All 4 quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) will close at loss FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BTC HISTORY.
📊 THE PREDICTIONS FOR BTC IN 2023
I name this year THE YEAR OF RECOVERY for the crypto market. BTC will reach $32k as a pullback to this year’s dump with a 95% probability. I think that the #1 crypto has a 70% probability test of $45k.
✅ But first, the price can update the lows and reach $10-12k. So if you are a trader , it will be a really good year because of its volatility.
If you are a long-term trader or investor , I would be in the market by 20-40% to not miss the possible growth. Another part of the deposit leaves for buying lower at $10-12k or after making new HH and HL at $21-22k.
It will be interesting to check the results in a year.

HOW TO BALANCE LIFE AND TRADINGHi guys, This is @CRYPTOMOJO_TA One of the most active trading view authors and fastest-growing communities.
Consider following me for the latest updates and Long /Short calls on almost every exchange.
I post short mid and long-term trade setups too.
The life of a trader can be stressful, with important developments taking place constantly. This makes it essential that individuals maintain a positive work-life balance
Prioritize What You Need in Your Life
When you learn how to prioritize your life, you can focus with intention on what matters and accomplish your most important goals.
Priorities are difficult to determine.
There are some things you want to prioritize at the start of each year, such as spending more time with family, discovering your life’s purpose, starting a business, traveling the world, or becoming a profitable forex trader.
But to be honest most of us struggle to focus on what we really want in our life when the year goes on.
For example, the majority of people will never turn down a high-paying job, even if it means spending less time with family or working on themselves to find the balance of their life.
Why is that?
Because of that dopamine hits you get when you are getting a paycheck from your high-paying job.
I’m not saying it’s bad and you should quit your job. I’m saying that I’ve seen lots of people who were able to organize their lives while working a 9-5 job and still living a well-balanced lifestyle.
Also, I’ve encountered people who used to work both a day job and on their goals and then quit their jobs after accomplishing their goals.
So how are they doing it? What is the secret?
The secret is finding your life purpose and finding out what you really want to achieve in your life.
Let’s say you really want to become a profitable forex trader, but it doesn’t mean you should sit in front of your computer all day and place trades. If you do so, You will miss out on a lot of life opportunities.
You won’t be able to focus on your nutrition or physical and mental health since you won’t get enough time to reflect on yourself. You’ll also be unable to consider how and when you can spend time with your loved ones when the stress of your daily life schedule gets too tight.
This is not trading, this is a bad way of treating yourself.
So what is the solution?
Simply makes a list of what you really need in your life then prioritize them while still giving time to focus on yourself.
For example, if you have a day job but still want to be a successful trader, you can day trade the market when you get home at night.
Alternatively, you can trade on a higher timeframe, such as daily or 4-hour, to spend less time on trading while still earning a good profit.
By doing that you will have plenty of time to focus on your job and your well-being as a trader.
Remember that no matter what you’re attempting to do, whether it’s trading or running a business, you should make time to focus on your well-being.
That is what creates a balanced life, and balanced life will empower us to stay happy while also increasing our chances of success in any area. The same remains true for trading as well.
Self Improvement is Important
People who devote enough time to self-improvement have a better understanding of themselves and others, as well as a clear understanding of their goals and how to achieve them. Personal growth allows you to go forward, explore new horizons, and feel happier.
Regardless of what you are doing in your life (Doing a job, Running a business, or trading) you should prioritize improving yourself each and every day.
By improving your life as a trader, your life will become more dynamic, and you will be presented with new life opportunities, and because self-improvement leads to happiness, you will be able to enjoy life rather than worry and regret.
Now in trading, self-improvement is a direct factor that will determine a trader’s success.
Why?
Because trading success is heavily based on psychology and attitude.
Even Mark Douglas mentioned in his book Trading in the Zone that intelligent people are the majority failure in the trading industry and also he mentioned that it is the attitude and unique thinking that will make successful and sustainable traders.
Therefore rather than sitting in front of the charts, focus on the area you can improve when you are not having any trade setups.
Give your best to improve in areas like your focus, social skills, patience, mentality, attitude, positive habits, and high-demand skills.
Expect Unexpected
As traders, we are all aware that we should deal with uncertainty on a daily basis.
The majority of what you do in trading has no guaranteed outcome. Any trade can be a winner or a loser, and all we can do is respect the result and live with the uncertainty.
So how to stay positive in the face of a constant uncertain environment like the forex market?
Simply by controlling what we can control and not being too worried about things that we have no control over.
For example, we have no control over price movement, right? So what is the solution?
Simple just react to the price information according to your trading plan.
On the other hand, there are things we can control, such as risk management and being selective more about market conditions in which we should trade. Do your best to control those things.
Have a Well Define Trading Routine
A trader’s daily routine will clearly define the lifestyle he or she has.
I’ve seen traders trade all day while sitting in front of the computer browsing social media or watching YouTube, and these types of routines will lead to an unhealthy life. In reality, most of these traders struggle to maintain consistency in their trading process.
Then there are traders who have managed to find a balance between trading and other professions. The majority of these traders only trade for two to four hours every day. They will have more time to focus on other things that will lead to happiness and a well-balanced lifestyle as a result of this.
Focus on Quality Over Quantity
We all know that the volatility of the forex market is much higher and every day the market is provide us with endless trading opportunities to take advantage of.
Although we may not be able to take advantage of all of these trades, the market still makes 10 to 20 trade opportunities available to us, and if you trade on shorter timeframes, the number of trade opportunities will increase as well.
However, in reality, we cannot execute all of these trades, and attempting to do so as many trades as possible every day will result in overtrading. In terms of trading, this is bad for your account, and in terms of life, you won’t have enough time to focus on other things (like spending time with family, focusing on your nutrition and exercise, or meditation) because you’ll have to stay in front of the computer to execute all of those trade setups.
So what is the solution to stop overtrading?
There is actually a simple solution for this. Just be More Selective on Your Trade and Only Execute Higher Probability Trade Setups.
You will be able to cut down the trading opportunities you have to monitor on any given day by filtering out only the high probability trade setups, which will save you a lot of time.
You also don’t have to spend the entire day in front of the computer. As a result, you’ll have more time to focus on yourself and spend with your family.
Maintain Positive Mental Attitude
Maintaining a positive mental attitude in trading or any other activity will lead to balance in other areas of your life.
For example, if you can’t keep a positive mental attitude after a bad trading day, how can you expect to proceed through the rest of the day’s activities with confidence?
Most likely, you’ll have a harder time finishing the day productively because you let that bad trading day affect your mental state.
If this happens regularly whenever you have a bad trading period, you will never be able to find the right balance in your life as a trader.
Therefore, work on developing a strong mental attitude as a trader – an attitude that lets you remain confident in your trading abilities, trade decisions, chart analysis, and trading system in order to succeed as a forex trader and to keep a well-balanced life.

Bitcoin Historical Volatility new low Here we have the BTC historical Volatility Index in blue. Orange is the price of BTC. The teal line is the 50sma for volatility. At the bottom, I have the correlation coefficient (CC) for the volatility index with BTC. I have marked in green when the CC reaches above 0.50, and red when it crosses below -0.50. The fibonacci retracement is fairly arbitrary, but fits nicely between 0.25 and 1.00. In this article, I would like to discuss a little bit about volatility. It is often associated as going up when price goes down, but is a bit more specific in what it is telling us than simply being an inverse price indicator. Next, I’ll talk about the correlation coefficient. It is an excellent tool that every trader, and investor, should learn to use. Finally, I would like to examine some of the similarities between our recent all time low in this index, breaking the low 2018, which proceeded the infamous 2018 capitulation event.
Volatility is always an interesting indicator, and is often used to indicate position risk for the asset it is being calculated for. Simply stated, it is a measure of how much the price of an asset moves in a particular period of time. However, it can be calculated a number of different ways. The most common is standard deviation, or how far price is from an average of the price over a recent period of time. The amount of time the data is taken from can also change how the volatility measure acts and how useful it is. More so, because it measures movement, and not so much direction, it can be difficult to use it in an accurate way, as correlation appears to be inconstant at face value. Historical volatility is calculated a little differently. And honestly, before reading a few papers on it for this essay, I had not realized that ‘historical’ referenced the calculation method as opposed to it being the history of the volatility. Historical, or realized, volatility is an estimation of the standard deviation of the price of returns over a particular period of time, in this case, 24 hours. It can also be calculated with a weighting for the trading volume over the calculation period. I have placed a 50ma (150 day moving average) to show a general range for average volatility, and we can see that MA tends to oscillate between 2.5 and 5.0.
The correlation coefficient is an excellent indicator that allows you to see, and quantify, the correlation of your current chart with any other chart ticker. Here I have it set to the BLX all time price index for BTC. The higher it goes, the more correlated the movement of the 2 charts are, and below zero indicates an inverse correlation. When CC is near zero, the movements of the two charts are NOT correlated. One of the issues with volatility indexes is their accuracy can vary, and is sometime disputed. My goal in using the correlation coefficient with this index is to parse out when volatility is most useful to pay attention to, and in which direction. On this chart, we can see that when volatility spikes above 10, it is often correlated with big, sudden moves to the downside. However, not all of them are. By using the correlation coefficient, we can parse out the direction of volatility. When CC is in the green, and volatility increases, we see the price of bitcoin moving up, usually in an explosive manner. Likewise, inverse correlation is often showing us downwards movements. I find this a useful way to pull a little bit of the noise out of the volatility index.
The previous all time low in volatility of 0.35 occurred on October 28th of 2018, and about sixteen days before the 2018 capitulation event began. About a week ago on Christmas day, we broke that low, going down to 0.34. Very low volatility tells us that price isn’t just moving sideways, but is pretty flat for the most part. And if you have been following bitcoin lately (bless your soul) you know flat and boring is kind of an understatement. The good news is that it’s likely going to get exciting soon. Volatility doesn’t seem to stay at or below 1.0 for very long, and seems to be either correlated, or inversely correlated with price within a few weeks to a month after reaching 1.0. An exception would be from August of 2019 to the pandemic crash in 2020. We can see some similarities in both volatility and the correlation coefficient between the time leading up to the 2018 capitulation event and our recent data in 2022. Price action is also fairly similar (flat and boring) with the exception that in 2018, the line chart had a small move down and back up during the flatness, while we had a small move up and then down earlier in December. Although, I doubt this really means anything. In 2018, we saw a 50% drop after price had already fallen around 70%. From top to bottom, the draw-down was just under 85%. Another 50% draw-down from where we are at the time of writing would take the price of bitcoin to just over $8,000.
So what does this mean? Well, I can tell you, for sure, 100%, that I can not tell the future. I will be, however, watching my new chart very closely. But I would say it is likely we’ll be seeing something exciting, and it will probably be in January. Unfortunately, it looks like CC moves down just as fast as price, and as fast as volatility moves up during sudden, capitulation like events. However, Bitcoin always has a way of surprising everyone. If CC moves down to 0, and then puts in another local high in the next week, I would be a little spooked. If it keeps moving up to 0.50, it may be an interesting and unexpected move to the upside. Regardless of what happens, I would encourage everyone to try to understand volatility a little better than you already do, and use the correlation coefficient indicator. It is a simple, yet versatile tool that can be used to quantify data in a way that makes a trading strategy precise. Here’s to 2023, I wish you well, and thanks for reading.

The Best Time to Buy an AssetThe passing of time often creates one of two things. It can create Wealth or it can create Regret.
For instance…
Many people will say, I wish I bought real estate, crypto, stocks, etc. at certain times…then I’d be rich. We are all pretty good at looking backward and saying, “What if?”.
With Investing, the two most common reasons people miss opportunities are because they aren’t paying attention or aren’t prepared…and usually, it’s both. The best thing to do is:
📌 Get Educated with proper knowledge
📌 Analyze different factors and Research on them
📌 Create a plan/strategy and start working on it
🔥✅HOW TO GET 70% WIN RATE USING VOLUME PROFILE🔥 Hi friends! Today we will talk about a very important trading tool that can give you 70% win rate if you will know how to use it as a pro trader. This tool is a volume profile.
📊 WHAT IS THE VOLUME PROFILE?
The volume profile is a real traded volume. Unlike the usual vertical volumes that show the amount of volume traded over a certain amount of time, the horizontal volume shows the volume traded over a certain price range.
The volume profile has 2 components:
🔥 value area (yellow areas), which is the biggest resistance/support for the price. There can be several value areas, but the largest value areas called HVN or High Volume Nodes.
🔥 liquidity gap (white area) is the area where the least volume is traded. Usually, the price "cuts" through these areas very quickly.
📊 HOW TO USE THE VOLUME PROFILE?
I want to show you how it works. If we want to understand the next price movement, we should identify the biggest value areas. So you see the most significant liquidity (value) areas and wait when the price tests it:
1. if the price breaks the value area and tests it as support , you can enter a trade because bulls are strong and the price should go higher.
🚩 The clear trade example on how to use HVN (value area) as support (+20% of clear move).
2. if the price test it as resistance , this means that bears are stronger and bulls haven`t enough power to push the price higher.
🚩 The clear trade example on how to use HVN (value area) as resistance (+26% of clear move).
So the value areas or HVN are a stop on the way of price movement in one direction or another. The better you determine where the price will go after testing this HVN (value area), the more profitable you will be.
🚩 If you use this approach on lower timeframes, you can get more trades. This is ideal if you are an intraday or swing trader.
Try using horizontal volumes yourself, and in the following ideas, I will tell you how I and other advanced traders use them.
✅ So this approach has 50-70% win rate, but if you want to increase it, you need to use additional filters.
Personally, I use the DOM and Footprint to identify the whales' orders and buy crypto with the big guys. These indicators can easily add 25-35% to your win rate. I make a lot of video lessons and articles about them, so enjoy and make money.

WHAT IS A PIP AND HOW TO MEASURE IT?WHAT IS A PIP?
The pips is the unit with which we measure the price movement of a pair.
Example: If the USD/MXN pair is used. If the dollar is worth 20.7 and rises to 20.8, it is said to rise to 1 cent but in FOREX it is not measured with cents, it is measured with pips.
The price of the USD/MXN chart has 3 extra decimal places 20.8 000 those 3 extra decimal places are what the pips are measured with: the pip is the fourth number after the point . If the price changes from 20.8100 to 20.80101 the price moves 1 pips, if the price moves from 20.80100 to 20.80110 the price moves 10 pips and if the price moves from 20.80100 to 20.80300 the price moves 200 pips.
Pips are calculated differently depending on the pair, pairs with Japanese YEN and pairs WITHOUT Japanese YEN
PAIRS WITH YEN
📊How to use HORIZONTAL VOLUMES? Tutorial with examples!Horizontal Volume Indicator or Volume Profile is a simple indicator that helps to identify: value areas (support or resistance zones) and liquidity gaps. In this idea I will explain how to use the indicator and mark these areas to make trades and why it works.
Let's start at the beginning.
💹What are value areas (support and resistance zones)?
🔶The value zone is the price range at which the most trades are made. On the chart we can mark the value zones: 33600-41000, 46000-49500, 54600-58200. I also marked how these zones were support or resistance to price. The value zone becomes a support for price if the price, when it is tested, does not continue its downward movement. A value zone becomes a resistance if price does not continue to rise above that zone. The zone simply doesn't let the price go higher because there aren't enough buyers.
🔶Liquidity gaps are called that way because no trades were made in that zone and there is no liquidity for traders (buyers or sellers), and price, as we know, goes from liquidity to liquidity (from one zone to another). On the chart I have marked for you the liquidity gaps and we can see that the price can' t stay in these zones for a long time.
✅Why do horizontal volumes work? Price reacts to these zones for a simple reason. Many traders pay attention to these areas and put their limit orders to buy or sell or when the area is tested, so the price moves up or down. If there are more sellers than buyers, the price will go lower and lower ; if there are more buyers, the price goes higher and higher.
🚩How can I add this indicator to my chart?
3 steps to add the indicator to your chart:
1. open "prediction and measurement tools" at the left part of chart
2. choose the "Fixed Range Volume Profile"
3. choose the price range from some date till another date. I chose from Dec 10, 2021 till May 6, 2022.
So now you can see and mark all areas on your chart.
🏁This indicator helps to identify areas and can suggest stop points or price reversal, but it should be used with different methods. If the market is in a strong rising trend (UPTREND), it is unlikely to be stopped by a local zone of value, but a global zone may stop it. Also, the support zones can be good entry point. Be more tricky than the market and use different tools. You can use the indicator on different timeframes for scalping or swing trading and with different ALTCOINS. Also, pay attention to the volume indicator, trend lines and key levels that I show in my ideas.

🔥🚩POINT OF CONTROL: THE MOST USEFUL TOOL FOR TREND TRADER🔥 Hi friends! Point of control is a part of volume profile indicator and very useful tool to identify upcoming BTC or any other asset move. I will explain you how to use this tool in your trading and make a good profit in this idea.
💹 Horizontal Volume Indicator or Volume Profile is a simple indicator that helps to identify: value areas (support or resistance zones), points of control and liquidity gaps.
📊 HOW TO USE POINT OF CONTROL
Point of control (red line on the chart) is the place of the largest accumulation of liquidity. We can say that this is the place of "the biggest battle between bulls and bears":
🔥the point of control becomes a resistance in case of "bears' victory" and crypto start to fall
🔥the point of control becomes a support in case of "bulls' victory and crypto start to grow
🚩 When one of the sides wins the "battle", this is the best time to enter the trade in short or long.
✅ No matter how complicated this tool looks, it is very easy to use:
1. extend the volume profile indicator from the lows to the highs. The indicator automatically shows the largest accumulation of liquidity showing POC (red line).
2. wait until the price tests the POC as support or resistance . From time to time the price can consolidate directly on the POC, which indicates the "battle" of long and short traders.
Pay attention to the chart. I have selected for you 4 cases of using POC on the volume profile:
1. Bitcoin just touched the POC at $39,700 and bounced up 72%.
2. the price tested the POC as resistance at $61,100 after which the price fell by 45% from the absolute highs.
3. Bitcoin consolidated around the POC at $39,000 for some time. The price fell by 31%.
4. POC is at the price of $19,150 per Bitcoin. Now you have to expect the price to return to this level and carefully watch the price reaction on POC.
🔥If the POC is tested as resistance , then it is very likely that we will see the level of $13,000-14,000 for BTC.
🔥If the POC is tested successfully as support , then the price will be able to make higher highs and start a bullish trend for Bitcoin. I talked about this scenario in previous ideas.
🚩 HOW TO ADD VOLUME PROFILE INDICATOR WITH POC TO YOUR CHART?
3 steps to add the indicator to your chart:
1. open "prediction and measurement tools" at the left part of chart
2. choose the "Fixed Range Volume Profile"
3. choose the price range from some date till another date.
So now you can see all important value areas and point of control.
✅ Point of control help you to identify the power of bulls or bears on different timeframes and make the right trading decision in the most of cases. Personally, I use this tool effectively for swing trading and scalping as well.

Trade with small size while learning
Only risk 1% of your account size each trade
Master one setup
Find a solid mentor
Journal your trades and study your data
Follow your plan consistently regardless of the outcome
Take Trading decisions as unemotionally as possible
Focus on these points, instead of focusing on goals like: I want to make 5K or 10K a month🍻
Fall of USD as Global Reserve CurrencyIf you give someone a button to print money, they will press it
1,400 years ago the Roman republic inflated its currency until its empire collapsed
USD used to be backed by gold, but that ended in 1971
This allowed governments to print endless money
Hyperinflation is just a matter of time
The US government learned to overspend and print the difference
The debt is now $31 trillion and $100 trillion in liabilities
The only way out is printing more money
But destroying the savings and hard-earned tax money of citizens
Global reserve currencies change every 90 years
So, Monetary Switch is inevitable
Checkout Venezuela's 2013- mid-2020 Inflation data
The paper that is used to print a dollar is not actually worth a dollar.
The paper does not have value, it simply represents the value. It is not money because it holds no individual value.
To take it a step further, dollars are actually the OPPOSITE of value.
Dollars are debt. A dollar is a PROMISE to pay back debt. The U.S. is over a trillion dollars in debt. A trillion is “1” followed by 12 zeros. It’s a thousand billion. A trillion seconds is 32,000 years. A stack of $1 bills would be 68,000 miles high. So how do we pay back such monumental debt?
Taxes. It’s painful, but it’s obvious.
So, the dollar is the PROMISE of the U.S. government to pay back over a trillion dollars of debt by taxing its citizens. And, to kick you while you are down, the debt is still growing.
The dollar is actually debt.
That is why the smart rich don’t work for dollars, they work for assets like BTC and GOLD

Criminal Activities in Crypto MarketThis year, crypto-related hacking has high activity. Since the beginning of October, approximately $718 million worth of cryptocurrency has been stolen, bringing the total for the year to over $3 billion. However, numbers are currently 65% lower than where they were at the end of July in 2021.
In addition, revenue from scams has roughly decreased in accordance with Bitcoin prices from January 2022. Not only is scam revenue declining, but the total number of individual transfers to schemes in 2022 is at its lowest point in the previous four years.
In addition, these figures imply that less individuals than ever are falling for Bitcoin frauds.
Crypto scams
● Investment scams: Pump-and-dump schemes are an example of investment fraud. A fraudster
will convince you to purchase an obscure cryptocurrency at a "cheap price" promising that the
asset´s value would soon soar. When you purchase, the price increases. However, later the con artist sells off their holdings at a higher valuation. That is causing the price to drop and leaving you and any other victims in the red.
● SIM- Swap scams: This is also one of the most recent types of crypto scams that exist today.
They take place when a con artist obtains a duplicate of your SIM card and has full access to
your phone´s data. As a result, the victim may not even be notified. The victim´s cryptocurrency
accounts may be already compromised and deleted.
● Fake Crypto Exchanges and Crypto Wallets:
Your social media accounts will show you websites that promote affordable Bitcoin with huge returns on the initial investment. When customers pay a hefty initial charge, they are routinely prompted to spend additional money. In addition, you´ll probably discover that your money is missing when you try to withdraw it.
● Upgrade scams: Scammers trying to persuade customers agreeing to fraudulent transactions or
giving over their private keys represent one of the most immediate concerns.
● Phishing scams: Although they have been around for a while, phishing schemes are still widely used. To get personal information such as the password to a cryptocurrency wallet, scammers send emails with nefarious links to a fraudulent site. It is troublesome to change the cryptocurrency key. Therefore, each key is exclusive to a wallet. As a result, a new wallet must be made in order to change this key.
Tips for avoiding scams
Investment scams are obvious once the provider claims there are huge returns on investment and there is no risk regarding your loss of money.
Never enter secure information from an email link to protect yourself against phishing schemes.
The individual has to go directly to the official website to verify it. Also, regarding the scams such as fake crypto exchanges and crypto wallets, stay with reliable exchanges and wallets with a substantial user history to avoid similar frauds.
In fact, you should assume a wallet´s website is a fraud and move on if it makes an attempt to look like a well-known company. Last, you can prevent SIM swap frauds by using strong passwords and security questions along with locking the phone with your service provider.
In a nutshell
Nobody enjoys a crypto bear market, but there is one positive aspect. Criminal cryptocurrency
activity has decreased slightly alongside that of respectable activity. However, it appears that
criminal activity is more robust to price declines. Compared to respectable quantities, which are
down 36% year over year, illicit volumes are only down 15%. The US dollar is the most often used currency for these kinds of fraudulent transactions.
Even though there are many scams existing in the crypto market, more users know how to spot possible scams right away because that is not something new and unseen. However, the numbers of illicit activity are still high. Yet with new security protocols, there is hope that fraud can be slowed down in overwhelming the cryptocurrency market. There is no denying that cryptocurrencies have been used in illegal behavior, but the same can happen with any type of money in existence.
The most important action users can take is to protect their private information as best as they can.
Paid in Cryptocurrency: The Salary Of The Future?With the introduction of cryptocurrencies into our lives, there have been changes in the economy and our habits. In this century everyone wants to access everything easily and quickly. Likewise, employees want to be paid in time without any effort. So, now we talk about the new idea of salary with cryptocurrencies. These days some brands have started to pay in cryptocurrencies. However, we should take a
look at positive and negative effects and also how and where we can find that kind of job.
First of all, I want to explain how and when cryptocurrencies started. At first it was a long time ago when they found the crypto.
Over years they developed the cryptocurrencies and in 2009 Bitcoin has joined our lives. After Bitcoin came out,
most people realized the importance of crypto.
Actually, it was a good idea to invest in Bitcoin because it was so expensive and you could double your money.
After Bitcoin, some altcoins have started. Ethereum, Dogecoin and many more altcoins are also quite famous.
In fact, a lot of people earn money thanks to cryptocurrencies. But you should be wise about it because it’s like gambling.
Therefore, you should be aware of the risks.
POSITIVE ASPECT OF BEING PAID IN CRYPTOCURRENCY
First and foremost, when receiving payment with cryptocurrency, it doesn’t include any tax. Also the transaction of crypto money is so easy. You can do it
from an application. Another positive aspect of being paid in cryptocurrency is that it can be converted into any currency internationally.
Moreover, for companies looking to hire more employees to work online, crypto can be a great way to pay staff evenly and then have them convert to their local currency.
NEGATIVE ASPECT OF BEING PAID IN CRYPTOCURRENCY
Like every good thing, crypto also has a lot of risks as I mentioned before. In particular, you can either earn good or lose for good, so it can be tricky in many cases. In fact, you can check data and do your research but in the end, you never
know for sure. There are lots of parameters that affect the market prices.
Sometimes that relies on other markets, or politics, or sectors, or even a person. By ‘a person’, you might have an idea of who we are talking about. Of course, it is no one other than, mighty Elon Musk.
In 2021, Elon Musk changed the whole market prices by just mentioning Bitcoin in one of his tweets. Something similar happened when he put the symbol of Bitcoin into the description part of his account. But of course, he is fully aware of his
actions. These actions may be a game to him but ethically, the situation he caused is not fair. In times like this, what is fair is not so important. This is because there is nothing to do to change what happened. Crypto-market can get affected by many different concepts. Because of all this, paying in crypto can be risky and should evaluate positive and negative aspects carefully.
HOW AND WHERE CAN YOU FIND A JOB PAYING IN CRYPTO?
If you want to find a job and receive payment with crypto money, there are a lot of websites and applications for that. For example, you can check out these; Bitcoiner Jobs, Proof of Talent, Crypto Jobs, AngelList. You need to apply them with your CV and you should explain why you are interested in this kind of job. Also you should highlight that you know all the risks. There are vacancies for social media managers, product managers, Graphics designer, Bitcoin Developer etc. So, if you are curious or just fond of trying something new, here is your chance!
