SOL | Short-Term Long | Key Resistance | (April 2025)SOL | Short-Term Long | Key Resistance & Liquidity Flip | (April 2025) 1️⃣ Short Insight Summary: Solana has reached a critical resistance zone after a wave of short liquidations. While the broader crypto market is showing strength, SOL is at a decision point that requires caution. 2️⃣ Trade Parameters: Bias: Short-term Long (with tight risk control) Entry: Around current price near resistance (approx. $125–$128) Stop Loss: Just below recent swing lows (can adjust based on volatility) TP1: $138 TP2: $131 ✅ Quick partial profits planned due to high-risk reversal potential at current levels. 3️⃣ Key Notes: We’re sitting at a strong resistance zone that has seen multiple overlaps in recent days. A major round of short positions was recently liquidated, which could fuel a push higher — but also makes this a tricky zone for continuation. Watch for reversal signs, and manage risk tightly. Overall market sentiment is leaning bullish, which supports the long-term potential for SOL if it can break through. 4️⃣ Follow-up Note: Will reassess based on how price reacts around $131 and $138. May update if momentum picks up or structure changes. Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea! Also share your ideas and charts in the comments section below!

new peak 3520, waiting for gold price to touch⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold prices extended their record-breaking surge on Tuesday, soaring past the $3,450 mark during the Asian session as investors sought refuge in the traditional safe-haven asset amid mounting fears of a US recession and broader financial market volatility. Persistent concerns over the economic outlook and waning confidence in the US Dollar (USD) have continued to drive demand for the USD-denominated precious metal. The greenback remains under pressure, further amplifying gold's appeal. Adding to the uncertainty, US President Donald Trump once again criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, stoking fears about the central bank’s independence. Reports suggesting the administration explored legal avenues to potentially remove Powell have only deepened market unease, boosting the allure of gold as a hedge against policy and economic instability. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Fomo price increase, trade tension, gold price benefits ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone : 3519- 3521 SL 3526 TP1: $3505 TP2: $3490 TP3: $3465 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3403 - $3405 SL $3398 TP1: $3415 TP2: $3430 TP3: $3445 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable BUY order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

ETHUSDT | Recovery Potential | (April 2025) ETHUSDT| Long | Liquidity Grab & Recovery Potential | (April 2025) 1️⃣ Short Insight Summary: ETHUSDT has been in a steady downtrend for months, but signs now point to a potential reversal. With liquidity likely swept and renewed buying interest around key zones, this could be the beginning of a major move. 2️⃣ Trade Parameters: Bias: Long Entry: Around $1,570 Stop Loss: Below the recent liquidity sweep zone (around $1,400–$1,450 depending on risk) TP1: $2,200–$2,300 TP2: $2,500 TP3: $3,000 TP4: $3,800+ Final Target: $4,000+ ✅ Partial profits planned on the way up to manage risk and secure gains. 3️⃣ Key Notes: Liquidity appears to be fully grabbed below previous lows, which often sets the stage for strong reversals. ETHUSDT is a seasoned project with long-term value and renewed interest. Bitcoin is also showing strength, which may act as a tailwind for altcoins like ETHUSDT. Structure looks favorable, especially for those already in the channel or watching this key zone. 4️⃣ Follow-up Note: I'll be keeping an eye on this and may post updates if the price approaches key levels or shows signs of invalidation.

How One Candle Can Flip Market Sentiment | Watch These Key ZonesMarkets are emotional. One candle — that's all it takes to turn fear into greed, or hope into panic.

When euphoria takes over, it’s usually the top. This pattern repeats. The players change — the psychology doesn’t. 📌 Here’s what I’m watching on this chart: Support zone: Resistance to break: Market sentiment: Currently bearish, but structure suggests potential reversal if . 📊 Always remember: The market rewards those who focus on price action and structure, not the noise.

Emotional Management — The Hidden ComponentIn this piece, I’ll touch on one of the most important topics — a core obstacle on the path to consistent and profitable trading. We need to explore where certain emotions come from and how to work with them in order to better understand ourselves. What truly fits our nature, what common mistakes we make, and how to avoid them moving forward. Until we learn how to navigate these internal roadblocks, we won’t be able to achieve stable financial results. The Scariest Part Let’s get straight to the point. The scariest thing that can happen to us in trading is a stop-loss being hit — in other words, taking a loss on a trade. Scary? I don’t think so. This is a parameter we can control ourselves. If we’re building a setup, we must define the size of the stop-loss — the amount we’re willing to risk if things go wrong. And keep in mind: this risk will always be there, no matter how experienced or skilled you become. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that this time is different — that this setup feels so strong, so obvious, that there’s no way it could fail. Spoiler: that’s exactly when you should start tracking your trades. Every time you feel this kind of overconfidence, log it in a spreadsheet. I can already tell you what you’ll find: 1 to 3 out of 10 of those “super strong” setups will end up hitting your stop. Which means — your feeling of conviction had zero correlation with how price actually moved. The market simply didn’t care what you thought about it. And one step further: even if your technical model is solid and well-developed, you still can’t predict the future with certainty. That means you also can’t ever be 100% sure your stop won’t get hit. Does that make sense? Good — let’s move on. Loss Since we’re not all-powerful, we have to use stop-losses — and calculate them in a way that, at the very least, doesn’t make us feel pain when they’re hit. At the same time, the stop should be set at an optimal level, so we still feel the potential for profit. Otherwise, our brain won’t engage with the market properly — it won’t sense the reward, and that can distort our analysis. This often leads to vague, low-quality setups — but even that is far less dangerous than oversizing positions to the point where potential losses feel unbearable. See that fine line? Most of trading psychology and emotional control comes down to how we relate to loss. That’s where the real pressure is rooted. Emotional Space We experience both negative and positive emotions — that’s the full spectrum. Your trading will only be high-quality if you avoid emotional imbalance. In other words, you need to stay centered and calm. Any excess emotional charge — whether negative or positive — will inevitably work against you. If you’re stuck in the negative zone, you’ll start feeling anger and frustration, which will cloud your judgment and prevent you from thinking clearly during the trading process. But being too far into the positive zone is just as dangerous — it leads to greed and overconfidence, which often result in oversized positions and dangerously wide stop-losses. Both ends of the spectrum, if left unchecked, will push you into tilt — a state where you can no longer evaluate reality objectively and start making impulsive decisions. This is how traders end up losing a significant part — if not all — of their account. The Algorithm Let’s go back to what we covered earlier — the core catalyst behind tilt: violating your predefined stop-loss size. You must first determine a loss amount that feels emotionally tolerable to you. Ideally, this number should be fixed, and you should never exceed it (except later, as your account grows). Once you’ve done that, you now have a simple algorithm: you build your setups using the same fixed-risk amount — and under no circumstances should you go beyond that limit. This creates awareness in the brain. It knows the predefined threshold, is prepared for a negative outcome, and remains calm. Imagine a circle — as long as you stay within it, in your zone of comfort, you can operate with clarity and discipline. But the moment you step outside that circle, your mind starts to feel stress. And if you don’t catch yourself in time, that stress escalates — leading you straight into a tilt state. Emotional Triggers Here’s where it gets both complicated — and surprisingly simple. All you need to do is follow one rule. But even that becomes difficult for many, because they give in to greed — the kind that pushes you to increase position size just because the setup “feels certain” (something I’ve already mentioned before). On the other side of the spectrum, anger and frustration start to build — especially if you’ve just taken a loss and your mind shifts into “recovery mode.” That emotional urge makes you want to win it all back quickly, so you raise the size of your next trade — planning to return to your original account balance first, and then go back to your normal risk-management rules. That’s a fatal mistake. Here’s my advice: when you're in a drawdown — emotionally and financially — you should actually lower your stop size, not increase it, until you get back to a neutral baseline. Both negative emotions (sadness, anger, frustration, disappointment) and positive ones (joy, excitement, euphoria) can push you to break your risk limits. The emotional trigger may be different, but the outcome is the same: you oversize. The only time you should be trading is when you're in a neutral state of mind — for example, operating from a place of interest or curiosity. It’s All in Our Hands Understand this: we are the only ones truly responsible for executing our plan. If we increase our position size beyond what we should — that’s on us. If you know you’re making a mistake, why let it happen anyway? We control the entire process. If we truly don’t want to blow the account, we won’t — because we’ve calculated the risk beforehand. Let me repeat: if we follow the plan and don’t act impulsively, we will never blow our account. That’s the foundation for building consistency in trading. But the more unstable our emotional state becomes, the easier it is to step outside that “mental circle” and trigger a stress response. That stress inevitably leads to tilt. You’ll start reacting to everything — someone was rude to you, a fear of not having money for food, whatever. It all begins to pour into your trading: chaotic entries, random sizing, total abandonment of your risk rules. And in most cases, this spiral ends with one thing — a blown account. The Solution That’s why you should always monitor your emotional state — and ideally, keep a journal where you track how you feel each day. The moment you notice that you’re starting to lose control, step away from trading immediately. That’s the smartest decision you can make. I say this from experience — it’s been proven many times. Yes, it’s hard to do — I get it. But remind yourself of this: if you keep trading in that state, there’s a high chance you’ll lose a significant part of your account. And when that happens, you’ll feel even worse — blaming yourself for not stepping away when you could have. So yes, it’s difficult — but still far easier than dealing with the damage. The best move is to shut down your trading platform and avoid looking at charts for at least three full days. Shift your focus to something else entirely — anything that helps you stop obsessing over the market. When those thoughts disappear — the ones about urgently making money back or hitting a certain target — that’s when you’re ready to return to trading with a clear and steady mindset. The Takeaway This is the core of what happens inside us — and how to respond to it. In most cases, this is the exact cycle that plays out. Everything else — more unique emotional patterns, sudden urges to break your own limits — will emerge with time. Your job is to learn how to spot those triggers, notice your internal reactions, and pull yourself away from the screen before the damage is done. Wishing you strength and clarity on this path.

VWAP Order Types: How Small Funds Use them.VWAP orders are used by Independent Small Funds Managers. IF a Small Fund or Small Asset company has 3 billion or less assets under management, the SEC classifies them as NOT a professional side entity. This is because most independent Small Funds Managers have no Financial Degree, no professional certification aka CMT, CFA etc. These managers often know less about the inner workings of the stock market than the average retail trader. It is wise to check to see the dollar value of a small fund and make sure it has more than 3 billion in assets as these managers have minimal experience, education, and usually no certification. The small funds managers became enamored with the VWAP order as an order that could be placed several days to weeks ahead and then trigger when volume surges. Unfortunately, that can often cause major sudden whipsaw action. especially intraday and pose much higher risk of sudden huge run downs when buyers evaporate. The 2010 FLASH CRASH that stunned the financial world was an error on the part of a Fundamental trader who accidentally hit the VWAP order type rather than the TWAP order type for selling futures he had decided to sell. The VWAP order quickly caused a major stock futures sell off especially for the SP500 futures. Then the VWAP caused a systemic spreading of selling into the stock market and options market. During highly stressed market conditions VWAPs triggering can drive prices down as panic among the less informed retail groups spreads rapidly. The goal is to enter a sell short with pro traders, rather than chasing a VWAP order that is spiraling out of control. When the VWAPs cease, then the market whipsaws or rebounds suddenly upward again. This is just a snippet of what you need to learn about VWAPS but it is a good start for all of you. Trade Wisely

Stafi Long-Term PREMIUM Full Trade-Numbers (PP: 2063%)Stafi is now trading at bottom prices after hitting a new All-Time Low and this is a great place to enter. This is the perfect chart setup for spot traders. Here I will share the full trade-numbers for this pair, FISUSDT, and share some of the chart technicals with you that reveal the upcoming change of trend. Let us start with how to predict a bottom based on the chart structure and the candles. Notice the "bearish wave" on the left side of the chart. Notice the size of the wave, the length, strength and duration. A "bear market." Simply a long-term correction. Now, notice the "bottom wave" on the right side of the chart (orange). Notice the size, the length and duration. It is very steep. It goes very fast and it is small thus short-lived. » The first one is a market phase/cycle while the second one is a market reaction. » The first one led to a sideways market while the second one will lead to a change of trend. There are two sets of numbers. Here I am only using one for the trade below but I would still like to explain this method that I use in case you want to learn to do your own numbers by looking at charts. The first set of numbers uses the All-Time High and the bear market bottom. In this case this would be the peak price 01-March 2021 and the low set 09-May 2022. The low is the zero and the peak the one using the Fibonacci extension tool. The 1.618 is the standard ATH projection. If you are feeling confident, the market is producing strong higher lows, the pair is good, there is strong volume, etc. You can also consider the 2.618 level which is not shown on this chart. Of course, if you move the chart up a little bit you can easily see it. The second set uses the current market bottom, in this case the low 7-April 2025 and the previous high, 09-Dec 2024. This will give you a set of numbers that you can use to extract also some short-term targets. The first set would only have long-term targets. When a trading pair produces new All-Time Lows we say that a new All-Time High is not likely but this isn't necessarily true, this is a technical assumption. The truth is that anything is possible and not even the insiders and exchanges who control the bots that control the price of a chart know how far up a pair can really go. When the euphoria phase of a bull market starts it is hard to maintain control. A bullish wave can be neutralized with massive selling pressure. This is done all of the time. If any trading pair starts to grow organically for whatever reason on any exchange, the bots owned by the exchange immediately start selling and balance thing out, they just don't like things moving in ways that they do not control. Anyway, let's continue; Full trade-numbers below: _____ FISUSDT (PP: 2063%) CURRENT PRICE: $0.1263 ENTRY: 1) $0.1420 2) $0.1150 3) $0.0999 TARGETS: TP1: $0.1852 TP2: $0.2361 TP3: $0.3206 TP4: $0.3889 TP5: $0.4571 TP6: $0.5543 TP7: $0.6781 TP8: $0.8888 TP9: $1.0356 TP10: $1.2566 TP11: $1.4140 TP12: $1.6141 TP13: $2.1926 TP14: $2.7711 STOP: Close monthly below $0.0990 _____ No stop-loss. When trading spot you should be ready to wait for years. That's the mindset. If you are not ready to wait for years, well, you can do whatever you want of course but with this mindset you can never go wrong. There are many ways to approach a trading pair but sometimes we are ready to wait 3 months for a bullish wave and yet it takes 6 months for the wave to develop. Next time we are ready to wait 6 months to see prices go up but the wave starts in 12 months and so on. So always be ready to wait 4-5 times longer than what you initially think is the necessary time for the market to change course. Never place a stop-loss in an exchange because that is just bad for the market, the bots will sell just to active your stop. Stop-loss orders should be avoided at all cost if you are a beginner or a spot trader. Simply buy and hold. You can use a stop-loss trading short-term and in many different systems but I am talking about reality here, it is not the same. Never close a trade out of a whim. Either you do it or yo don't. Either you plan or you don't trade. If you plan you will be successful and you will achieve success. If you don't plan, you can make money but you will be gambling and this gambling will end up in negative results in the long-term. So, if you are not ready to plan/prepare then just wait, the market is not going away. When you are ready, enter with a plan and you will win for sure. The plan is easy, what to do when the market moves in a certain way. If it rises, will I sell or hold? If it drops, will I sell or hold? If you decide the answer is to hold then, for how long? If you decide the answer is to sell, how much? Just prepare for all scenarios. You don't have to do anything really other than buy low (now) and sell high (later), but doing the mental exercise will save you from stupid mistakes when excitement (or anxiety) grows. Just practice. Success is yours. Thanks a lot for your continued support. If you enjoy the content, just follow. Namaste.

Why Is the T Bond Heading Down?The downward pressure did not start with the Liberation Day tariffs on 2nd April. Based on the 30-year long-term bond price chart, the market peaked in 2020, then broke below a major support line—established since the 1980s—in 2022. Since that break, US bonds have been on a downward trajectory. So, what happened in 2020 and 2022 that set the bond market on shaky ground? Why is the recent tariff shock just a continuation of developments that began back then? And where are bond prices heading next? This goes beyond investors offloading its US Treasury holdings after 2nd April.
