Unplugged in the crypto verse#1When i got into crypto, something just clicked i knew this would be future. So began my journey into the rabbit hole. Crypto profitability was something that i realised is the holy grail. So i began working on articles to where it started with bitcoin. I will be referencing this articles from time to time.
SIDE NOTE"So the big news of the time is the ftx scandal with Sam bankman fried. "
You have some cash and want to convert into crypto. Here are the steps.
1). Find an exchange;i use binance mostly.
2). Create a metamask wallet.
3). Get your crypto off exchanges if you are not trading.
4). Transfer your tokens into your metamask wallet. Congratulations you are now a crypto degen.
5). Exploring dapps into the crypto verse is mind blowing.
Some of this concepts i think are so revolutionary that they will change major industries in ways we might not imagine now.
The more you are in crypto, the more you realize how early you are. This space needs time. We need to root out the bad actors after every bitcoin halving. Thats the reason for the pain you are feeling now." Everyone is a genius in a bull market"that quote has stuck with me. Bitcoin needs the liquidity crunch that's how ecosystems evolve.
1).Financial dapps in the blockchain may be your best bet. That's why i advice you to start. Look at aave, compound, maker, uniswap e.t.c.
2).Crypto gaming maybe alternative, splinterlands, gods unchained,mobox e.t.c.
Also under crypto gaming, look for games with growing users that are verifiable within the blockchain.
Most of this exchanges will offer exchanges which users trade nfts within the game.
3).crypto trading with bots maybe your best bet at automating a crypto strategy. I personally use pionex.
All my articles are linked below free to read. Thank you for giving crypto a chance. Cheers.

Inside Bar Candlestick Pattern 📉📉📉📉 We will cover the following today:
Inside Bar (Inside Day)
Inside Days
📉 Inside Days are a daily pattern involving two daily candles, we have a day of trade, also known as the ‘mother candle’ and then the following day trades the whole day within the range of the previous day. This is a two-day bias suggesting a potential reversal. A great way to play these sorts of biases is to pre-empt the failure of this reversal, as well as playing the success of the inside day, so what does this look like? Let’s take a look at an example below.
What is an inside bar? The inside bar is a popular reversal/continuation candle formation that only requires two candles to present itself. This pattern is a direct play on short-term market sentiment looking to enter before the 'big moves' that may take place in the market.
📉 Is an inside bar bullish?
Imagini pentru inside bar candlestick
First, unlike other candlestick patterns, inside bars are usually not distinguished as bullish and bearish by their look or color of the body itself, but rather by the location they are at and other peripheral developments
An “inside bar” pattern is a two-bar price action trading strategy in which the inside bar is smaller and within the high to low range of the prior bar, i.e. the high is lower than the previous bar's high, and the low is higher than the previous bar's low.
📉 TRADING WITH THE INSIDE BAR CANDLESTICK PATTERN: TOP TIPS AND STRATEGIES
Some traders consider it a continuation pattern though a breakout in the opposite direction is possible too. After price has trended up (or down) for an extended period, the pause in price movement (represented by the inside bar) precedes a reversal of the trend. Therefore, the inside bar is looked at for a short-term trade (or swing trading) in the counter-trend direction with the goal of holding the trade for less than 10 bars.
However, there is another way to trade inside bars and this is rooted directly from what the candle pattern does NOT reveal. When traders see an inside bar pattern form, it is interpreted as the markets unwillingness to push price higher or lower. This can be for any number of reasons:
An extremely pertinent report is being issued soon, or
The market just made a stratospheric leap and traders are tepid about bidding price much higher or lower.
Whatever the reason, the motive is the same: seeking potential volatility in an effort to increase profitability. When there is a situation in which traders are unwilling to bid price higher or lower, it is seen as a potential situation for future increases in volatility. The inside bar candle pattern is NOT telling traders that the market is bidding price higher or lower but rather that the market is waiting before making the next big move in the asset. This means potential opportunities for traders.

Market Seasonality - Fundamentals 📉📉📉✅ Seasonality refers to particular time frames when stocks/sectors/indices are subjected to and influenced by recurring tendencies that produce patterns that are apparent in the investment valuation.
✅ Seasonality is a characteristic of a time series in which the data experiences regular and predictable changes that recur every calendar year. Any predictable fluctuation or pattern that recurs or repeats over a one-year period is said to be seasonal.
✅ What is a Seasonality Forecast? In time series data, seasonality refers to the presence of variations which occur at certain regular intervals either on a weekly basis, monthly basis, or even quarterly (but never up to a year). Various factors may cause seasonality - like a vacation, weather, and holidays
✅ You can use the Market Seasonality as an extra fundamental confluence for the price, we have 2 market seasonalities bullish and bearish. If a price has bullish seasonality it means the pariticular asset will tend to rise during that cycle and viceversa. Market Seasonality (MS) is a good tool to have in your arsenal but only if you are trading on a mid-long term perspective. You can't trade using the market seasonality on a scalping or a intra-day basis because it makes no sense.

Bitcoin - Market Seasonality 📉📉 What is crypto seasonality?
Crypto seasonality is the perception that Bitcoin will rise and fall over a set period of time, drastically affecting the crypto market overall.
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s largest cryptocurrency, as well as the first-ever one. As the first cryptocurrency, it has tons of value locked up into it at all times, and all subsequent coins, otherwise known as altcoins, are tied to it in some way.
However, Bitcoin is no stable asset. The world’s first cryptocurrency is consistently ranging in value, dropping or rising tens of thousands of dollars at any given point. Every four years, this volatility is expected to reach a peak before crashing relatively hard due to the Bitcoin halving. The Bitcoin halving is programmed into the Bitcoin blockchain. Every four years, the halving occurs, and the rewards for mining Bitcoin are cut in half, effectively ensuring less Bitcoin is coming into circulation with every block mined.
The market tends to correct after a halving, with Bitcoin’s price rising due to its more scarce nature, only to crash shortly afterward as investors cash in their newly-earned profits, and the market overcorrects as a result. While Bitcoin crashes, more investors begin worrying about their investments and may pull out to move funds into altcoins.
📉2. Is crypto seasonality good or bad?
It affects everyone. But whether it’s good or bad depends on your investment personality.
Crypto seasonality can be seen as both good and bad, depending on your perspective and investment personality. For one, newer traders might see seasonality as a good thing, as they can now invest in Bitcoin at a lower price. Long-time holders, however, might despise crypto seasonality as their Bitcoin holdings are almost guaranteed to crash every four years, forcing them to wait out the lows or reinvest their holdings into altcoins.
That said, one can almost always expect Bitcoin to rise back up due to supply and demand. While this belief is never a guarantee, the leading cryptocurrency has historically risen to higher highs after each halving so far.
📉3. How crypto seasonality affects investors
Crypto seasonality might force Bitcoin-only investors to gamble in the altcoin market.
When Bitcoin’s price crashes, investors are almost forced into the altcoin market to continue generating profits. That said, altcoins are entirely unpredictable, and a project that’s massively popular one day can crash suddenly the next.
The altcoin market is also full of scams. Rug pulls and deceptive marketing have led to investors being taken advantage of. Regulatory policies are still in the works and can negatively affect a trader's experience as they develop. Exchanges can be hacked and holdings stolen. There’s really no telling what can happen in the wild west that is the altcoin market.
Sure, there are safer ways than others. Investors can buy into established passive income methods like Uniswap’s (UNI) liquidity pools, or participate in the mining or staking process of a coin rather than simply investing in it, but there’s still an inherent risk alongside these processes.

📉📉 FEAR/GREED INDEX
📉 Why Measure Fear and Greed?
The crypto market behaviour is very emotional. People tend to get greedy when the market is rising which results in FOMO (Fear of missing out). Also, people often sell their coins in irrational reaction of seeing red numbers. With our Fear and Greed Index, we try to save you from your own emotional overreactions. There are two simple assumptions:
📉 Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried. That could be a buying opportunity.
When Investors are getting too greedy, that means the market is due for a correction.
Therefore, we analyze the current sentiment of the Bitcoin market and crunch the numbers into a simple meter from 0 to 100. Zero means "Extreme Fear", while 100 means "Extreme Greed". See below for further information on our data sources.
Tweezer Tops vs Tweezer Bottom 📉📉📉📉 A tweezer is a technical analysis pattern, commonly involving two candlesticks, that can signify either a market top or bottom. Tweezer bottoms are considered to be short-term bullish reversal patterns, whereas tweezer tops are thought to be bearish reversals.
📉 Tweezer top indicates a bearish reversal whereas Tweezer bottom indicates a bullish reversal. Tweezer top candlestick pattern occurs when the high of two candlesticks are almost or the same after an uptrend
📉 A Tweezer Bottom occurs during a downtrend when sellers push prices lower, often ending the session near the lows, but were not able to push the bottom any further. Tweezer Bottoms are considered to be short-term bullish reversal patterns that signal a market bottom.
A tweezers top is when two candles occur back to back with very similar highs. A tweezers bottom occurs when two candles, back to back, occur with very similar lows. The pattern is more important when there is a strong shift in momentum between the first candle and the second
Do you use twezzer tops or bottoms ?
Trading Psychology 📉📉📉✅ If you asked me to distill trading down to its simplest form, I would say that it is a pattern recognition numbers game
We use market analysis to identify the patterns, define the risk, and determine when to take profits. The trade either works or it doesn't.
✅ In any case, we go on to die next trade. It's that simple, but it's certainly not easy. In fact, trading is probably the hardest thing you'll ever attempt to be successful at. That's not because it requires intellect; quite the contrary! But because the more you think you know, the less successful you'll be.
✅ The mechanical stage of trading is specifically designed to build the kind of trading skills (trust, confidence, and thinking in probabilities
The first step in the process of creating consistency is to start noticing what you're thinking, saying, and doing
Creating a belief that "I am a consistent winner" is the primary objective
🎯 I AM A CONSISTENT WINNER BECAUSE:
1. I objectively identify my edges.
2. I predefine the risk of every trade.
3. I completely accept risk or I am willing to let go of the trade.
4. I act on my edges without reservation or hesitation.
5. I pay myself as the market makes money available to me.
6. I continually monitor my susceptibility for making errors.
7. I understand the absolute necessity of these principles of consistent success an
d, therefore, I never violate them.
🎯 The greater your confidence, the easier it will be to execute your trades
To even start this process, you have to want consistency so much that you would be willing to give up all the other reasons, motivations, or agendas you have for trading that aren't consistent with the process of integrating the beliefs that create consistency. A clear, intense desire is an absolute prerequisite if you're going to make this process work for you.
The object of this exercise is to convince yourself that trading is just a simple game of probabilities ✅✅✅

🔥 Types of Analysis 📉 In trading and investing there are 2 t🔥 Types of Analysis
📉 In trading and investing there are 2 types of analysis a trader can make to have an edge and generate trading ideas.
📉 There is no such thing as technical analysis is better than fundamental or viceversa, personally i use fundamental analysis to understand what to buy or what to sell on a mid-long term perspective and technical analysis basically shows me when to enter the trade at a better price level.
‼️ Fundamental Analysis
• Using of the financial statements, news and events to generate trading ideas
• Mid-Long term approach
• Usually investors/traders use this for investing or position trading that could last for couple months
‼️ Technical Analysis
• Use chart, volume and price action
• Short-mid term approach
• Usually people use this for intra-day or intra-week moves

Trade Review BSV: Perfect Head & Shoulders Breakout!Hello crypto friends, I wanted to post about this setups on BSV last week (and also BCH), I totally forgot about it unfortunately because of all the other setups that we had going on. Just wanted to show you how perfectly the Head & Shoulders played out, giving up to 40% on profits.
With BCH the pattern was more complex, but nonetheless we broke the neckline here also:
If you had some value from my analysis, give it a thumbs-up & comment it, because the mechanism shows my analysis to other people then. Make also sure to follow me so you get notified on my Crypto Analyses! I wish you a good trading! :)

Bitcoin Cash (BCHH19) 122.5% ROE 10X Lev Set UpI am looking at a set up for Bitcoin Cash (BCHH19) on BitMEX... The charts are starting to look bullish and a breakout can potentially happen soon.
On a Sunday, I can see a break above EMA10 happening now with increasing volume. Both the RSI and MACD allow room for this move.
This is a signal in the making and very early... Price has gone flat, indicating a support. If a break happens to the upside, we can expect the last peak to be tested and even higher if enough momentum can be garnered by the bulls.
Conditions for change: A close below 0.0330 would invalidate these early signals.
Note: This is not a piece of trade advice. My trades all contain buy-in, targets, stop-loss and additional informaiton. Take a look at Monero (XMRBTC) and Loopring (LRCBTC) in the related ideas below as an example.
If you want to see a full trade for Bitcoin Cash (BCHH19), hit LIKE to let me know. If enough people hit like, I will share a full high risk, high leverage, high ROE trade.
Thanks for the continued support.
Namaste.
Bitcoin Cash (BCHZ18) Bullish Engulfing (Learning)What is a Bullish Engulfing Pattern
A bullish engulfing pattern is a candlestick chart pattern that forms when a small black candlestick, showing a bearish trend, is followed the next day by a large white candlestick, showing a bullish trend, the body of which completely overlaps or engulfs the body of the previous day’s candlestick.
You can trade this signal with a tight stop loss at the low of the engulfing candle.
I am trading LONG on BCHZ18.
If price closes below 0.0332, this signal gets invalidated.
Sharing for learning. Hit LIKE!
Namaste.

The Double Bottom Reversal is a bullish reversal pattern!The Double Bottom Reversal is a bullish reversal pattern typically found on bar charts, line charts, and candlestick charts. As its name implies, the pattern is made up of two consecutive troughs that are roughly equal, with a moderate peak in-between.
Although there can be variations, the classic Double Bottom Reversal usually marks an intermediate or long-term change in trend. Many potential Double Bottom Reversals can form along the way down, but until key resistance is broken, a reversal cannot be confirmed. To help clarify, we will look at the key points in the formation and then walk through an example.
Prior Trend: With any reversal pattern, there must be an existing trend to reverse. In the case of the Double Bottom Reversal, a significant downtrend of several months should be in place.
First Trough: The first trough should mark the lowest point of the current trend. As such, the first trough is fairly normal in appearance and the downtrend remains firmly in place.
Peak: After the first trough, an advance takes place that typically ranges from 10 to 20%. Volume on the advance from the first trough is usually inconsequential, but an increase could signal early accumulation. The high of the peak is sometimes rounded or drawn out a bit from the hesitation to go back down. This hesitation indicates that demand is increasing, but still not strong enough for a breakout.
Second Trough: The decline off of the reaction high usually occurs with low volume and meets support from the previous low. Support from the previous low should be expected. Even after establishing support, only the possibility of a Double Bottom Reversal exists, and it still needs to be confirmed. The time period between troughs can vary from a few weeks to many months, with the norm being 1-3 months. While exact troughs are preferable, there is some room to maneuver and usually, a trough within 3% of the previous is considered valid.
Advance from Trough: Volume is more important for the Double Bottom Reversal than the double top . There should clear evidence that volume and buying pressure are accelerating during the advance off of the second trough. An accelerated ascent, perhaps marked with a gap or two, also indicates a potential change in sentiment.
Resistance Break: Even after trading up to resistance, the double top and trend reversal are still not complete. Breaking resistance from the highest point between the troughs completes the Double Bottom Reversal. This too should occur with an increase in volume and/or an accelerated ascent.
Resistance Turned Support: Broken resistance becomes potential support and there is sometimes a test of this newfound support level with the first correction. Such a test can offer a second chance to close a short position or initiate a long.
Price Target: The distance from the resistance breakout to trough lows can be added on top of the resistance break to estimate a target. This would imply that the bigger the formation is, the larger the potential advance.
It is important to remember that the Double Bottom Reversal is an intermediate to long-term reversal pattern that will not form in a few days. Even though formation in a few weeks is possible, it is preferable to have at least 4 weeks between lows. Bottoms usually take longer than tops to form and patience can often be a virtue. Give the pattern time to develop and look for the proper clues. The advance off of the first trough should be 10-20%. The second trough should form a low within 3% of the previous low and volume on the ensuing advance should increase. Volume indicators such as Chaikin Money Flow , OBV and Accumulation/Distribution can be used to look for signs of buying pressure. Just as with the double top , it is paramount to wait for the resistance breakout. The formation is not complete until the previous reaction high is taken out.
