XRP Bullish ScenerioIt has been quite some time since I have posted something on here. I have learned a lot from the community here as well as years of being in the trenches failing over and over again.
When I finally broke even, I stopped posting and I just continued trading. This was a poor decision because I have abandoned the very community that has helped me develop my education and mentored me. I have been spending time on making some videos that explain the process I went through to become a profitable trader. I will also be posting on here more often to articulate what decisions help me develop a bias and some examples of the trades I execute.
As for this post, I have developed a bias that we will soon close above the price marked on the chart with a horizontal line. Why? Because we are in a range bound environment or what some may call "accumulation".
From the Macro point of View, we are currently in an uptrend. Which is why believe when wee do break out of this range, it will be towards the upside.
Remember, it of course can go the other way, and we are all wrong at some point. Enjoy being wrong as much as you are right. The only stress is the stress you put on yourself.
Try not to seek perfection in this game. Just use good common sense and make clear and fair judgement.
This is the end of my rant. More to come soon.

cetus short term goalThere are alot of DEX's previously, Notable ones were Cake and radiyum
If radiyum topped at 1.5bn mcap and cake at 6bn mcap, cetus would require a price of 1.6 to reach 1bn mcap so a 5x before even reaching previous ranges of similar projects.
if we know this and we expect coins to perform stronger this season i dont think a 3bn mcap at a price of 5 is far fetched, we will see.
GOOD LUCK!!

"AAVE Analysis: Support, Resistance and Upside Potential to 337
The 279.01 level is acting as strong support, while 273.29 could also be relevant, providing an additional floor if the price continues to decline.
Immediate resistance lies at 292.67, which was recently tested, with possible stronger resistance around 306.42 and 300.80, where the price could face increased selling pressure.
The Stochastic RSI is pointing to a possible trend reversal, suggesting that there is good upside potential if the price sustains above the support and breaks the mentioned resistance.
Based on the movement pattern and the moving average crossover setup, it is possible that AAVE could reach the 337.00 target by tomorrow evening or at the latest by Monday.
This is a favorable scenario for purchase operations, but it is important to always maintain risk control and use stop-loss if the market does not behave as expected.
$3.3 Billion Hidden in a Cheetos Tin$3.3 Billion Hidden in a Cheetos Tin: The Mind-Blowing Story of Jimmy Zhong’s Crypto Heist
Back in 2012, there was this guy, Jimmy Zhong, who pulled off one of the most audacious heists in the history of cryptocurrency. Imagine this: he found a glitch on the Silk Road, a dark web marketplace that was the wild west of online crime. This wasn’t just any glitch; it was like finding a golden ticket in a chocolate bar.
Jimmy exploited this loophole, not by accident but with precision. He noticed you could hit the withdrawal button over and over, and each time, he’d get more bitcoins than he put in. It was like a digital ATM that spat out free money. He drained 51,860 bitcoins, which was worth about $700k at the time but ballooned to $3.3 billion over the years.
For nearly a decade, Jimmy lived like a king, evading the law. He laundered those bitcoins through crypto mixers, making the trail as confusing as a maze. With his newfound wealth, he splashed out on luxury, living the dream. Fancy hotels, shopping sprees at Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and even a lakeside house with boats and jet skis. He was untouchable, or so he thought.
He flew his friends out on private jets to watch football games, handing out $10k shopping sprees like they were candy. Life was good, until one day in 2019, when his house got robbed. $400k in cash and 150 bitcoins were stolen. Jimmy, in panic, called the cops. This was his first mistake; it put him on their radar.
But the real blunder came when he mixed $800 from the stolen money with his own on a KYC exchange. It was like leaving a breadcrumb trail right to his door. The authorities didn’t waste time. In 2021, they raided his place, finding 50,676 bitcoins hidden in a computer inside a Cheetos popcorn tin. Yes, you heard right, a Cheetos tin.
Along with the bitcoins, they found $660k in cash, silver, and gold bars. Jimmy was arrested, and his empire crumbled. He got sentenced to a year in prison, a small price for the fortune he once had.
This story isn’t about winning; it’s about the fall from grace, about how one tiny mistake can unravel years of evasion. Jimmy Zhong’s tale is a stark reminder in the world of crypto: privacy is king, and mistakes are costly
Mastering Market Trends: The Ultimate ADX Integration GuideWelcome to the complete guide to using the ADX Market Maker Integration indicator. This indicator has been designed to provide professional accuracy in your trading strategies by combining trend strength analysis, momentum confirmation, and detecting reversals through volume. Whether you are an intraday trader or a long-term trader, this guide will lead you to mastering this indicator at a professional level.
What is the ADX Market Maker Integration Indicator?
The ADX Market Maker Integration indicator is a multifunctional analysis tool that combines key elements of technical analysis into one comprehensive system:
ADX (Average Directional Index): measures trend strength and momentum. Directional indicators (DI+ and DI-): show the shift in momentum between bullish and bearish trends. Cumulative Delta Volume (VCD): tracks buying and selling pressure to detect potential reversals. Fixed and dynamic levels: adjust to trending or volatile markets. Candle colors: highlight reversal points, breakouts, and momentum directly on the chart. Multi-Time Frame (MTF) analysis: confirms the trend across multiple time frames for more confidence.
This indicator not only identifies trends — it helps you predict reversals, divergences, and even false breakouts, always keeping you one step ahead.
Key Features: Institutional Accuracy
ADX Indicator - Measures Trend Strength Values above 20 indicate a market with a clear trend. Increasing ADX = increasing momentum (strengthening the trend). Decreasing ADX = decreasing momentum or entering a volatile phase.
Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) - Momentum Confirmation DI+ above DI-: indicates bullish momentum. DI- above DI+: indicates bearish momentum. Crossovers of DI+ and DI- indicate potential reversals or trend continuation.
Cumulative Delta Volume (VCD) Tracks net buying and selling volume. Bullish Divergence: increasing VCD while the price drops = accumulation. Bearish Divergence: decreasing VCD while the price rises = distribution.
Multi-Time Frame Analysis Confirms the current trend across longer time frames (such as 4 hours or daily). Reduces noise to provide more reliable trading signals.
Candle Color Green: Bullish crossovers (DI+). Red: Bearish crossovers (DI-). Blue: Bullish divergences. Orange: Bearish divergences.
Practical Explanation: How to Use the Indicator Professionally
Step 1: Set up the indicator Add the code to the Pine editor on the TradingView platform and apply the indicator to your chart. Customize the settings: ADX Length: the default value is 14. Fixed Level: set to 20 to differentiate trending markets from volatile ones. Dynamic Level: activate it to calculate the trend strength adaptively.
Step 2: Determine the trend ADX > 20: the market is trending. Increasing ADX: momentum is increasing (ideal for trend-following strategies). Decreasing ADX: momentum is decreasing or the market is in a volatile phase (watch for reversals).
Step 3: Look for momentum crossovers DI+ crosses above DI-: bullish signal. DI- crosses above DI+: bearish signal. Combine ADX above 20 for high-confidence setups.
Step 4: Detect divergences using VCD Bullish Divergence: Price is forming lower lows. Increasing VCD indicates accumulation. Candles colored blue show a potential bullish reversal. Bearish Divergence: Price is forming higher highs. Decreasing VCD indicates distribution. Candles colored orange show a potential bearish reversal.
Step 5: Confirmation via Time Frames Use longer time frames (4 hours or daily) to confirm the market trend. Avoid false signals by confirming trends across time frames.
Practical Example: XAUUSD Chart Analysis
Chart: XAUUSD (Gold), 1-Hour Time Frame Analysis
Trend Strength and Momentum
January 13: ADX rises above the dynamic level (25), confirming a strong trending market. DI+ (green) remains above DI-, indicating sustained bullish momentum. 2. Divergence Detection
January 11, 18:00: Price is forming lower lows. DI- is rising, and VCD is increasing, indicating a bullish divergence (accumulation). This provides a strong buying opportunity. 3. Color Signals
Green candles: confirm bullish crossovers. Blue candles: indicate bullish divergence.
Order Execution: Professional Setup Scenario: Bullish trend detected on January 13
Order Type: Buy Stop Entry Price: $2,690 (above resistance). Stop Loss: $2,680 (below Ichimoku base line and dynamic support). Take Profit: $2,710 (at the next resistance zone). Justification: Rising ADX confirms bullish trend momentum. DI+ crossover confirms the bullish trend. Bullish divergence provides additional confidence. Confidence Level: 80%
Tips for Professional Analysis Use support and resistance levels: Check signals against key levels to reduce false signals. Adapt to market conditions: Use dynamic levels in volatile markets for more accurate analysis. Test on historical data: Apply the indicator to historical data to refine your strategy.
Mistakes to Avoid Ignoring higher time frames: The signal in the lower time frame should align with the trend in the higher time frame. Over-relying on ADX: ADX alone does not indicate the trend — combine it with DI crossovers or divergences. Ignoring volume analysis: Use VCD to confirm momentum and avoid false breakouts.
Why Traders Love the ADX Market Maker Integration Indicator Comprehensive Tool: combines trend analysis, momentum, volume, and divergences. Visual Signals: makes decision-making easier with colored signals. Adaptive Dynamics: works across different markets and asset classes. Institutional Accuracy: reliable techniques and professional execution.

Bitcoin’s 2025 Bull Run: Key Levels and Cycles Explained!🚨 Bitcoin Monthly Timeframe Analysis 🚨
Currently, Bitcoin’s price is hovering near the resistance trendline on the monthly timeframe, suggesting a potential correction could be on the horizon in the coming months. This resistance level could trigger a pullback to the immediate support level FWB:65K –$77k before the next major move, likely pushing back up to the $111k–$120k zone.
📅 Key Insight:
This cycle (2021–2025) is expected to peak in November 2025, aligning with the end of the 4-year cycle.
🔮 What’s Next?
After this correction, we might see a reaccumulation phase, with potential lows in the GETTEX:25K –$35k range, setting up the next leg for Bitcoin’s bullish trend.
🚀 Next Cycle: 2025–2029!
Eur/usd Bears to mitigate 1.01053 zone Nonfarm Payrolls soar by 256,000, far exceeding the 160,000 forecasts and reinforcing labour market resilience. the data helps the US Dollar retain its gains with the Fed likely to continue gradual cuts later in 2025 if inflation cools. that being said, I am expecting the Bears will try as of early next week, to push the price all the way down. the targets that I will be eyeing will be
Targets:
First Take-Profit Level @1.01053
Second Take-Profit Level @At 0.98530,
this liquidity will be mitigated later as days go by
but we all know trading is a game of prediction so am hoping for the best outcome to this analysis.
Pendle Shows Potential to Reach $55 as Recovery ContinAnalyzing the PENDLE USDT 12H chart, it has shown high volatility, with sharp variations in the Bollinger bands, which indicates a possible continuation of the recovery movement.
Currently, the price is moving between the levels of $3,919 (support) and $7,250 (resistance), with a strengthening trend. This suggests that if the support at $3,919 is maintained and the price continues to approach the upper bands, we may see a new attempt to test the resistance at $7,250, which would open the doors to a possible much more significant appreciation, with $55 being a plausible target in the medium-term scenario.
Support: $3,919
Resistance: $7,250
The RSI and Stochastic indicate that the asset is in an overbought zone but is not completely stretched, which means that there may be more room for appreciation, although caution should be exercised regarding possible short-term corrections.
If PENDLE continues to be supported by these support levels, a breakout of the resistance and progress towards the $55 price becomes a possibility, especially considering the market recovery and the fundamentals that could drive the coin.
Liquidity is increasing, and the volume is trending positively, which favors continued appreciation, as long as investors remain confident in the metrics and market sentiment.
In summary, the analysis suggests that if the uptrend continues, PENDLE has the potential to reach $55 in the near future.
