BTC USD IdeaHappy New Year, traders! We have absolutely sick price action in Bitcoin charts. Every single swing trade for big players is being liquidated on every daily fractal. It doesn't want you on trades. This means two things: they eat up sells and buys. It's really hard to hold large trades with this price action. As of now, we have a next TP, not yet liquidated, bullish bias with a first take profit at 102735.99. We are in scalping mode as of now, and we do not trade on bias; we are hedging the market as of now with small entries, and then we get a few runners in the end and loads of stops also. But nobody in the world can guess where it will go. Best for us would be for it to go lower to a discount price, and then we can load positions again for higher. I'll keep you posted if I see good volume on my software. Stay calm with this price action. There's no need to buy Bitcoin at a 90k price; there are a million other assets booming at the beginning of the year

SQ - Building "Block"Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈 After being stuck in an accumulation phase for almost two years, SQ has finally broken above its range.
The shift in momentum is now confirmed in favor of the bulls, with the price trading within the rising channel marked in blue.
🏹 As SQ retests the lower blue trendline, I will be looking for trend-following long positions, targeting the $200 round number.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

2025 is a Bull Year I would like to start the year with what I expect if we talk about the crypto market - a bull market until September 2025
If we talk about the stock market - bullish or flat as it was in 2005 and 2015.
If we take statistics in years that end in the number 5 (1895, 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965, 1975, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005, 2015) - we see bull markets.
Below, I have shown weekly charts of each year ending in the number 5.
1905
1915
1925
1935
1945
1955
1965
1975
1985
1995
2005
2015
2025
Here, we saw that all years are bullish, but 2005 and 2015 were reaccumulation.
Positive Scenarios for 2025
Soft monetary policy: If the Federal Reserve keeps rates at levels that support credit growth and capital availability, it will support the corporate sector and business expansion.
Technological breakthrough: A recovery in investment in artificial intelligence, green energy and biotechnology could create new growth drivers for the Dow Jones.
Sustainable global development: If geopolitical tensions diminish and international trade relations stabilize, the global economy will gain new momentum, reflected in the index's growth.
Negative Scenarios for 2025
Tight monetary policy: A sharp rise in interest rates could reduce the availability of capital, which could slow economic growth and pressure corporate profits.
Geopolitical instability: Increased conflict or trade wars between major economies could lead to declining investor confidence and capital outflows from the market.
Declining technological development: If leading sectors such as technology and green energy do not show the expected growth, it could affect market expectations and valuations.
Conclusion
Analyzing the history of the Dow Jones, years ending in 5 represent unique periods of growth and recovery. Against the backdrop of current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, 2025 could be a year of significant opportunity.
The optimistic scenario is based on continued loose monetary policy, innovation, and stabilization of global relations. However, the risks associated with tight monetary policy and global instability require caution.
For investors, 2025 could be a year of essential choices. Focus on long-term trends, analyze macroeconomic indicators, and diversify your portfolio. History shows that even in times of uncertainty, the market has the potential to grow.
And for years that end in number 7 according to bearish statistics, I will write about this in 2027

Solana 05.01.2025COINBASE:SOLUSD
Hello Traders,
I hope you all have great success in 2025!
Currently, I’m analyzing Solana, focusing on the potential for its third position within the larger wave 3 to 4. At the moment, we can identify a 1-2-3 wave structure. Within wave 2, there’s a slightly messy 1-2-3-4-5 sub-wave setup, which is fairly common.
We’ve observed significant volume and a strong bullish push from sub-wave 2 to 3. However, sub-wave 4 to 5 is moving sideways, forming what’s typically seen as a diagonal pattern. Within this diagonal, we can clearly recognize an ABC formation, and the transition from wave B to C aligns perfectly with a 1-2-3-4-5 setup.
Currently, sub-wave 5 is still unfolding, but the chart is becoming increasingly messy. Many traders appear to be selling their positions. Using the MACD indicator, we can see that the buying volume is decreasing, and the red selling volume is approaching dominance.
I hope you find my analysis helpful, and I’m always happy to receive your feedback!
Best regards
TOTAL 3 Could easily triple or quadruple in market cap in 2025.The TOTAL 3 market cap is looking spectacular for the 2025 bull run and could easily triple or quadruple in 2025, based on the chart. Keep in mind that this is the logarithmic chart, but this bull run isn't like any of the previous cycles, as many have yet to realize. In fact, it could end up being a cycle that extends well into the end of the year.
Good luck, and always use a stop loss.
MSTR - The Saylor in the Storm!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈MSTR has been overall bullish trading within the rising channel marked in blue. (log chart)
Currently, it is in a correction phase within the falling red channel.
Moreover, the red zone is a strong demand.
🏹 Thus, the highlighted blue circle is a strong area to look for buy setups as it is the intersection of demand and lower trendlines acting as non-horizontal support.
📚 As per my trading style:
As #MSTR approaches the blue circle, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

ON THE EDGE - HAEDS OR TAILS? Happy New Year to all of you! :)
As illustrated, we can see BTC hanging on the edge of a cliff.
Apparently , Black Rock and other financial institutions involved are manipulating price; however, that's only rumors until a major media source proves otherwise.
Technically speaking , the key support area is the $90,000 - $91,000 price range where we've seen BTC bounce strongly to the upside once testing it.
Don't be surprised if there's a strong selling inducement ( what retails call "fake breakout" ), where these bigger institutions bid the market just bellow $90,000 trapping sellers and shaking off buy-holders, and then buy back all of the liquidity at a discount price (potentially around $85,000 - $80,000).
However, the sell-inducement maneuver could cause a panic sell-off, taking price lower toward its previous maximum highs of $73,000 ; being such price range a major potential buying area for a long term HODL toward what could be a short-term target of $115,500 - $118,000 price range.
Patience is key since we are starting the year, and price "should" create the low of the year (somewhere), so it's natural and not strange for there to actually be a drop which, as a matter of fact, is fair and actually good so that everyone can get their hands on some BTC at a better price.

GOOD LUCK!
And I wish you all a year full of abundance and prosperity.
Ai & OnChain Opportunities | Crypto insights for 2025How Base, Ai & Pump Fun Will Shape the Crypto Market in 2025
2024: A Milestone Year for On-Chain Growth
The year 2024 may prove pivotal for onchain development, potentially rivaling the "DeFi Summer." Narrative driven investment opportunities are expected to proliferate, fueled by the widespread adoption of the “everything can be a Meme” concept and the rapid asset issuance popularized by Pump Fun. Meme projects can now launch without requiring top tier centralized exchange (CEX) listings, with market caps in the onchain space reaching approximately $1 billion. This presents significant profit opportunities for ordinary users, with toptier CEXs serving as the final stage for cashing out on-chain investments.
Challenges for Established Assets
Rising tensions between VCCoin and its community have led to underperformance for new assets listed on major CEXs, while older projects struggle to stay relevant. Many such projects lack motivation or fail to adapt to market changes, often adopting a passive strategy while awaiting unlock periods.
Key Predictions for 2025
1. DEX/CEX Monthly Volume Ratio to Exceed 20%
In December 2024, decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volumes hit a record $320 billion, marking over 200% year-over-year growth. The DEX/CEX ratio rose from 9.6% in December 2023 to 11.7%, peaking at 13.9% during the year. Continued improvements in Web3 wallets and on-chain tools, spearheaded by CEXs, along with the growing appeal of the Meme sector, are expected to accelerate user migration from CEXs to DEXs.
2. AI Agents/AI Meme Market Cap to Eclipse NFTs
AI Agents integrated with tokenization have emerged as the fastest-growing narrative, with the total market cap for related tokens reaching $12 billion. Frameworks like ai16z’s Eliza and Virtuals Protocol’s Game Framework have gained dominance, enabling rapid deployment of AI Agent tokens. Virtuals Protocol’s VIRTUAL token leads the sector with a $3.5 billion market cap, bolstered by a robust ecosystem of subtokens.
3. Emergence of Vertical Launch Platforms
The success of Pump Fun on Solana, a low-cost launchpad for issuing Memecoins, has inspired similar platforms across other networks. Specialized vertical platforms like vvaifu (AI Agents) and Pump Science (DeSci) are gaining traction. The expansion of the “everything can be a Meme” narrative is expected to drive demand for more niche launchpads.
4. Base Ecosystem Tokens to Debut on Binance
The Base network, an Ethereum Layer 2 developed under Coinbase, is predicted to have at least five native tokens listed on Binance’s spot market. With a concentrated ecosystem led by Virtuals and Farcaster, Base is positioned as a key contender for listings. Integration with Coinbase Wallet and the potential for favorable U.S. policies could enhance its competitive edge.
5. Hyperliquid’s Spot Market to Drive Wealth Effects
Hyperliquid, leveraging its HYPE token airdrops and novel asset standards (HIP1 and HIP2), is positioned to create exclusive wealth-generation opportunities. Projects like Solv Protocol and Azuki Anime have utilized its spot listing auctions, attracting significant interest. HYPE’s value, while substantial, will benefit from increased trading volume and partnerships with exclusive projects.
These projections reflect growing innovation in onchain development, with decentralized finance, AI tokenization, and specialized launchpads driving the next phase of market evolution.

TradeCityPro | BCHUSDT Final Analysis of 2024👋 Welcome to TradeCityPro Channel!
Welcome to the last analysis of 2024! The Trade City Pro team is very happy to have been with you this year and, at your request, has resumed its activity on TradingView. Our first analysis dates back to 2021 on this platform. :)
🌐 Overview Bitcoin
Now let’s analyze Bitcoin Cash (BCH) together in the final hours of this year. But remember, tomorrow is the most holiday-packed day of the year, with about 60% of the world’s population enjoying their break, which means trading activity is expected to be low.
Before starting the analysis, as always, let’s take a quick look at Bitcoin. On the 1-hour timeframe, it has rejected resistance, and the RSI failed to enter overbought territory, returning to the 91830–95753 box. It’s likely that Bitcoin will range within this box tomorrow.
Alongside this rejection, Bitcoin dominance has been trending upwards, causing altcoins to experience deeper red candles on the last day of the year.
📊 Weekly Timeframe
On the weekly timeframe, BCH is one of those coins that is still bullish. It recorded higher lows in both 2023 and 2024 and has shown good performance. The $94.8–$138.2 range corresponds to Bitcoin’s $16k zone.
If you bought from lower levels, it’s reasonable not to make any moves for now and continue holding your position. You can consider withdrawing your initial capital and exiting below $302.4 if a weekly candle closes there.
Personally, I’m not entering this coin right now, but the $689.5 trigger on the weekly timeframe is a key level. After breaking this, BCH is likely to enter the overbought zone with higher volume. Therefore, taking risks and buying at $302.4 or $424.2 could be logical.
📈 Daily Timeframe
On the daily timeframe, after breaking through the daily resistance box at $369.8, which gradually lowered its resistance, BCH started its upward move and was rejected at $623.4, leading to the key support level of $432.0.
This support is very important as it can change the corrective momentum and enable BCH to test the highs again. If it breaks, BCH could drop to $369.8.
During the uptrend and box breakout, volume increased, which is a good sign. However, volume decreased during the decline, which is also positive. Still, today’s daily candle shows significant volume with an upper shadow, increasing the likelihood of further downside.
⏱ 4-Hour Timeframe
On the 4-hour timeframe, we see that volume is at its lowest, and trading activity is minimal. If you’re trading, open positions with lower risk.
At the $622.1 level, a fake breakout occurred. This is a trader-trapping strategy where, after faking a support or resistance, we look for the first breakout trigger on lower timeframes and open a risky position, as fake breakouts can sometimes reverse trends.
📈 Long Position Trigger
since BCH is at a relatively higher level than most altcoins, we can open one after breaking $453.6, but with a small stop-loss and quick profit-taking.
📉 Short Position Trigger
BCH is at critical support, and after breaking $431.2, there’s no significant support until $383.3, making it possible to open a short position. Just remember that market volume is very low, so trade with reduced risk and exit promptly when necessary. I’ll indicate whether to use a larger stop-loss like last month’s uptrend or not when it’s required.

BTC 2025 I have plotted the yearly OHL. White line shows year open.
If you think BTC is bullish then you buy the year open and hold till EOY or hodl till your heart desires.
Alternatively you could gamble and wait for a dip below year open and buy then. Or perhaps you can wait till there's a dip below year open and then wait for a reclaim back on top of the year open level to start bidding.
Regardless I see a strong bull trend:
12 years of buy year open and hold till EOY = positive return
3 years of buy on year open and hold till EOY = negative return
2015 is an outlier but despite the heavy drawdown the year end gave a positive return.
The probabilities are very skewed and its pretty crazy how complicated we make the LTF analysis and forecasts where the simplest of strategies garners significant gains.
The years following a halving year (2013, 2017, 2021) all have a 100% hit rate of buy year open and hold till EOY. Those years offered a very positive return and marked the top of the "cycle" being followed by a down year.
My personal opinion is you either buy now or buy higher later. We might look back in a few years and lament on how we had so much time to buy sub 100k.
Alts see a similar pattern. The beginning of the year is crucial in determining what lies ahead.
Strategy 2025. BTC Airless Scenario Below $100'000 Choking PointThe crypto market is flashing a worrying outlook for 2025, since a disappointing Santa Claus rally this year could deepen issues.
This is especially important if BTC will not be able to finish the year 2024 firmly above $100'000 per coin.
The financial market has had a tough week, but it might also be in store for a tough year in 2025.
The market is on track for its worst weeks over years after the Federal Reserve gave a hawkish forecast for interest rate cuts in 2025. But looking at the market's internals, it's clear that damage had been inflicted well before the Fed's Wednesday meeting—and the signal is a historic indicator of tough times ahead.
The number of stocks in Top Stock Club S&P 500 that are declining outpaced advancing stocks for 14 consecutive days on Thursday.
The advancing/declining data helps measure underlying participation in market moves, and the recent weakness signals that even though the S&P 500 is only off 4% from its record high, there's damage under the hood of the benchmark index.
This is evidenced by the equal-weighted S&P 500 index being off 7% from its record high.
According to Ed Clissold, chief US strategist at Ned Davis Research, the 14-day losing streak for the S&P 500's advance-decline line is the worst since October 15, 1978.
Clissold said 10-day losing streaks or more in advancing stocks relative to declining stocks can be a bad omen for future stock market returns.
While this scenario has only been triggered six times since 1972, it shows lackluster forward returns for the S&P 500. The index has printed an average six-month forward return of 0.1% after these 10-day breadth losing streaks flashed, compared to the typical 4.5% average gain seen during all periods.
"Studies with six cases hardly make for a strategy. But market tops have to start somewhere, and many begin with breadth divergences, or popular averages posting gains with few stocks participating," Clissold said.
Perhaps more telling for the stock market is whether it can stage a recovery as it heads into one of the most bullish seasonal periods of the year: the Santa Claus trading window.
If it can't, that would be telling, according to Clissold.
"A lack of a Santa Claus Rally would be concerning not only from a seasonal perspective, but it would allow breadth divergences to deepen," the strategist said.
Also concerning to Clissold is investor sentiment, which has flashed signs of extreme optimism since September. According to the research firm's internal crowd sentiment poll, it is in the seventh-longest stretch in the excessive optimism zone, based on data since 1995.
"Several surveys have reached what could be unsustainable levels," Clissold said, warning that any reversal in sentiment could be a warning sign for future market returns.
Ultimately, continued stock market weakness, especially in the internals, would suggest to Clissold that 2025 won't be as easy as 2024 for investors.
"If the stock market cannot rectify recent breadth divergences in the next few weeks, it would suggest our concerns about a more difficult 2025 could come to fruition," the strategist said.
Moreover, Dow Jones index has printed recently The Three Black Crows Bearish candlestick pattern, on weekly basis.
This is especially important, since mentioned above pattern is massively unwinding from Dow's all the history highs.
Previously this pattern has already appeared in TVC:DJI in November 2021 and lead to 20 percent decline in 2022 for Dow Jones Index and to more than 70 percent decline in BTC.
The Three Black Crows Bearish candlestick pattern also has appeared in Dow Jones Index in September, 2018 (lead to 18% decline) and in July, 2007 (lead to more than 50% decline).
The main technical graph represents a Choking Strategy for BTC in 2025, i.e. BTC airless scenario below $100'000 choking point.
The epic 52-week SMA breakthrough in BTC will definitely accelerate a decline at all.
30/12/24 Weekly outlookLast weeks high: $99,988.07
Last weeks low: $92,529.54
Midpoint: $96,258.81
As the year comes to an end, we have a split week with new years day landing on Wednesday. The yearly candle starts @ $42,300, blasted past the previous ATH @ $69,000 and is now $90,000-100,000 a huge climb in the second straight green year for Bitcoin, all eyes on the yearly close!
Historically the yearly close can be fairly uneventful as some portfolio rebalancing & tax implications are taken into account in some countries around the world, so for BTC to close around the current price would be very positive.
Going into 2025, history suggests that the 3rd year of a Bullrun is the final year and so part of planning for 2025 will include some sort of exit strategy. Now I do believe that crypto is here to stay long term and this year has proven that with mainstream ETFs, government acceptance and in some case embrace, also businesses adding BTC to their balance sheet and more and companies accepting crypto as payment. All extremely positive for the space cementing cryptos mass adoption.
For this week if we do see any move of note I believe it will be later in the week once the bigger players return to work, but I'm also conscious of January 20th when the presidential inauguration takes place. After that date there really shouldn't be too much holding back the continuation of the Bullrun.
Solana Is In A Good Spot! My StrategyHey everyone,
here's a breakdown of my mid-term strategy for Solana (SOL/USDT). We're focusing on simple but effective rules, such as a Support & Resistance flip, which is happening as we speak.
Based on my experience (this is my third cycle), these steep corrections are great opportunities to add different altcoins to your portfolio and in some cases, take a leveraged position. 2025 will be bullish for crypto. And Solana is one of the better picks in this market.
If you like these kinds of explanatory ideas, please let me know in the comments.
Best,
Anton

7 Mindset Checks for Trading Success in 2025!Are You Psychologically Ready to Be a Trader? 🎯
As we step into the New Year, it's the perfect time to reflect on whether you're truly prepared to take on the world of trading. Here’s a checklist to assess your mindset and psychological readiness for the challenges ahead.
1️⃣ Do You Get Angry When You Lose?
If you tend to get upset over a lost game or seek revenge, trading might amplify those emotions. With money at stake, it's easy to blame external factors like the news, politics, or distractions for a losing trade.
But here's the truth: losses are part of the process. Successful traders embrace losses as learning opportunities and focus on the next profitable setup instead of dwelling on the past.
Remember: Revenge trading is a trap. The market doesn’t cause losses—you do. Instead of seeking revenge, take responsibility, learn, and move forward.
“The best fighter is never angry.” – Lao Tzu
2️⃣ Do You Think You’re Always Right?
Ego is a trader's biggest enemy. Trading isn’t about being right or wrong—it’s about making money.
If your ego drives your decisions, you might overestimate your abilities, skip your trading plan, and take unnecessary risks. Stay humble and let the market teach you.
Ego-filled traders may call themselves analysts or influencers, but true traders prioritize discipline over arrogance.
3️⃣ Do You Fasten Your Seatbelt Every Time You Drive?
Wearing a seatbelt is a simple yet critical risk management habit. Similarly, in trading, risk management is everything.
Professional traders focus on controlling risk, not chasing rewards. Trading without a stop loss is like driving without a seatbelt—one mistake can ruin everything.
Remember: the market can go anywhere. Be prepared for every outcome.
4️⃣ Are You a Follower?
Successful traders carve their own paths. Blindly copying others’ strategies or trades on social media undermines your independence.
You chose trading to be your own boss—embrace that responsibility. Develop and trust your own trading plan, tailored to your goals, personality, and style.
“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” – Jim Rohn
5️⃣ Can You Wait for the Green Traffic Light?
Patience is a cornerstone of trading success. Waiting for the right setup and following your plan with discipline ensures long-term profitability.
Self-discipline isn’t innate—it’s built over time. Commit to your plan, refine your strategy, and trust the process.
“The market pays you to be disciplined.”
6️⃣ Are You Committed to Long-Term Goals?
Just as a long-term relationship or fitness journey requires dedication and focus, so does trading. Jumping from one strategy to another only leads to inconsistency.
If your strategy is profitable, stick with it. Master it. Repetition and consistency turn your strategy into a money machine.
Successful trading is supposed to be boring. Embrace the grind.
7️⃣ Do You Finish Your Popcorn Before the Movie Starts?
If patience isn’t your strength, trading might test you. Most of your time as a trader is spent waiting—for setups, for trades to play out, and for profits to materialize.
“The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” – Warren Buffett
📚 The Takeaway
Trading isn’t just about charts and strategies—it’s a test of your psychology, discipline, and patience.

Work on your human psychology, develop your risk management, and commit to the journey. Remember, successful traders are made, not born.
Here’s to a successful and prosperous trading year ahead! 🎉
You’ve got this! Let’s make 2025 your best trading year yet.

GOLD - 2025 Forecast - Technical Analysis & Trading Ideas! 2025 forecast:
While the price is above the support 2475.27, resumption of uptrend is expected.
We make sure when the resistance at 2789.95 breaks.
If the support at 2475.27 is broken, the short-term forecast -resumption of uptrend- will be invalid.
Technical analysis:
A peak is formed in daily chart at 2726.10 on 12/12/2024, so more losses to support(s) 2582.31, 2527.50 and minimum to Major Support (2475.27) is expected.
Trading suggestion:
There is possibility of temporary retracement to suggested Trend Hunter Buy Zone (2527.50 to 2475.27). We wait during the retracement, until the price tests the zone, whether approaching, touching or entering the zone.
We would set buy orders based on Daily-Trading-Opportunities and expect to reach short-term targets.
