On the technical issues of hedgingMany people are still unable to understand the technical problems of hedging. I will explain it again here.
Don't repeat the basic principle of hedging, check it yourself. I'm just going to focus on the technical issues
I give the hedging conditions, the daily ma6 average below, at the same time macd appear short trend. This is the time to start hedging, remember 10% of the position, 10 times leverage, and insulate yourself from your principal to avoid the problem of eating up your principal.
The condition to remove the hedging is that the daily line breaks through the ma6 daily average and the macd forms a bullish trend.
The purpose of hedging is to insure your principal, not to speculate, so make sure you treat it differently.
How to think independently in chaos
This wave of market, in fact from June began to peak, when I said the correction here, and I am relatively bearish on the general trend, think here may be a super b wave rebound. But then the market continued to rebound, and a lot of early bears, in early July began to increase, they feel as if unable to fall, we saw on July 9, many people published bullish views, including many influential analysts in the English area, in this case, how to keep calm thinking? Will you remain calm if everyone around you is rubbing their hands and itching to have a try?
I think most people are affected by the environment. We also saw bm's position exceed $1.1 billion on July 10, and today it is $860 million. That means nearly $300 million has been destroyed in the past 24 hours. So many people do a lot of flips, don't you know the risk? I believe that most people will increase their risk awareness after the peak in June, including many people asking whether they can leave the field, I think they were rational at that time, but in the process of constantly pulling up, many people's will was worn down and began to question their own judgment. These two days a lot of people are asking me when to enter, when to add stock. On July 9th, I wrote a statement on the planet: there is a golden fork in macd, but we have to wait for the closing confirmation, so today is not an opportunity, if the closing is positive, we prefer to enter after a new high, because there is a huge difference between long and short, to reach a new high, need a world war to establish, so it is better to enter after a clear trend.
At that time, many people did not realize the seriousness of the problem. Although I gave a three-segment adjustment pattern on July 4, I predicted that there would be a rebound wave of ABC, followed by the adjustment wave of 12345, but I am not sure that it must be deduced according to my analysis because of the strength of the rebound. But one thing I am sure of, is that there is no new high, must not be long.
Where does my determination and confidence come from? Actually no one can be absolutely correct, no one can predict the future, but for the fear of the market, I always put their emotions and feelings in the technology, and what I call technology, actually very simple, if you read my article, in the past year, I just built around trend to my analysis, a macd completely solve the problem, the point of grasping is done through support and pressure. These seemingly simple indicators are often ignored by people.
A lot of people are looking for magic metrics, always hoping to get a magic box to solve all the problems. But any success, is the result of continuous efforts, there is no shortcut.
If you're willing to let go of your obsession, don't get ahead of the market and technology. Making money is easy.
Is Bitcoin Going For The Coffee?Hello dear crypto friends, grandpa BTC perfectly broke out yesterday as we had been analysing over the last couple of trades. Since I'm personally in a position, I wanna explain to you how you would've had to play this setup. Have fun watching! ;)
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! :)

Bitcoins consolidation phase, in it or still towards itPast days i have been showing in my channel that we are very likely at an important stage. It's either a continuation of the rally (which i think is too soon, but would fit the parabolic movement and madness of the past 2 months, i mean, it's Bitcoin :) ). A better, healthier scenario would be to make a much bigger consolidation coming period before we move up again. As always, can go both ways, but let me explain my thoughts a bit.
Me personally, even if we see 16K next week, to me the chances will remain very big that we can dump just as fast again. Explained this several times past months, even during the 3K prices. When a market moves up extremely fast without a good retest and consolidation, it will always remain very nervous/fragile because there is no real backup (the consolidation before the rally continues) to find support again. Maybe think of it as the 6K zone in 2018. How many times did the price dump to that level and bounced up again. That's what called a real support zone, because everyone can see it and not many people will panic sell when it reaches that level. That the 6K eventually broke is a different story. Simply said, after many retests for 10 months, the market just didn't have enough confidence to go higher.
I explained this during the rally to 13.900 as well. We moved up extremely fast since the 7500/8000 and people (retail and pro money) tend to increase the positions when an asset is very bullish and the positions is already at a very comfortable profit and a wide distance from the Break Even point. So when the positions pile up (so getting a higher average price because of increasing at higher prices), what happens when the price makes a big correction? We see a lot more profit taking than usual. So it seems as if the market is super strong, but to me it's not. With that i mean long term.
With this i mean, would i prefer to see a parabolic move just to see it dump again? Or would i prefer to see a 3/6 month consolidation above the 8k or maybe even 9k. If we get a level coming period that, with time gives the impression it's impenetrable (like the 6K in 2018), how much more comfortable would traders and investors be to get in at that support. Even new money would be much more likely to get if we get a huge support zone. Think everyone has seen (and prob felt) the 4k drop from the high 2 weeks ago.
So in general for me personally, the faster we move up, the more cautious i will be. We should never forget, even though fundamentals have changed a lot past year, this is still a speculation market. Speculating that Bitcoin/crypto might become the real deal. If it were facts, price would have been much higher already. Maybe compare it a bit with Gold, also a speculative market. There is a fundamental part to it as well, just like Bitcoin, but also a lot of speculating. The more experienced traders might remember the Gold Rush of 2005/6. Where so many people were already talking about 5K prices for Gold. I actually talked about this a lot in during the ATH of Bitcoin. Where i compared the Gold rush to Crypto. Back then, we had Gold (Bitcoin) and Silver (maybe ETH) that were extremely hyped and popular. Gold and Silver would replace fiat money, many people were just as convinced as we see now with crypto. What did we have back then as well? The gold and silver mines, you can compare them to the alt coins. There were countless silver/gold mine stocks that made similar gains as alts coins. Moving up from 0.05 cent to a few dollars. Back then i was telling people who asked me for my opinion, almost the same thing as the past year or 2. Most had market caps of 20 to 200 mil and therefore extremely easy manipulated. In my home town there was 1 particular silver mine stock that most talked about. I kept telling them, it's all of you who is pushing up the price. You need to understand, daily volume was like 100k to 1 mil on a good day. So if someone wanted to buy worth 50k, he would prob double the price himself because of it. Something we have seen a lot in crypto with the Pump & Dump schemes. Nowadays, social media is much bigger than 10/12 years ago. I did not see a lot of online talk as we are seeing with crypto nowadays, maybe not even 1% then of what we have now. Without sounding to negative, my general advice was to them was: At least know what your buying and not what OTHERS are telling.
In general never trust anyone who tells you to do something when they have (a significant) stake in it themselves as well. Kept saying this countless times during the ATH of Bitcoin as well and i will keep saying it. Of course people who have millions in Bitcoin will tell you that it's the real shit. Of course a crypto fund manager will tell you Bitcoin will go to the moon. Do they even have another choice? Selffulfilling prophecy is a very strong tool!! When enough people believe something will happen, without knowing it, they will buy the price up themselves to make it happen. But this is all short term, because if something isn't for real (settled fundamentals), within a few months to a few years it will eventually come down again.
To the chart now, trying to show what i mean with a bigger consolidation, not in price but in time. The 2015/16 rally also shows that real consolidations take much more time, same as the Gold chart above. Now even i can accept that Bitcoin moves much faster than traditional assets, but when look at other moments we can still see that the current consolidation of 2 weeks ia very small. However, what i can't say or know, is this just another small correction before making one more move up for the bigger consolidation. Meaning, are we in the blue or yellow circle of 2016. That i can't know and i don't even dare to make prediction on that.
You can say that this post is not to make a prediction of what we will do coming period, but it's to give an impression of what is realistic and to show that we almost always get a second or even third chance to get in again. 2 months ago when we first reached the 8K, i could smell the FOMO in everywhere, even in my own chat. So i wrote a big message trying to calm everyone down with the general message:
If you were not in already at low prices, go sit on your hands and just watch and be patient. Very likely to see the price come back down again eventually to the current price. At least then you are able to judge if your buying a support instead of buying the high. Since that moment we we crossed the 8K several times, even reaching 6500/7000 after. At the 12k similar thing, posted a similar message. If your not in already, don't buy the high and be patient. We even reached 9700. Now don't think it's easy for me to say this, because when i am wrong and we simply continue to go up, than i am the big idiot preventing them to make profit. But think about and be honest, how many times did a real FOMO buy make you profit (not paper profit but that you really sold for a profit) and how many times did you buy close to the high. Is that 50/50 or is more close to 80% failure. And the moments it did continu to go up, did you take profit at some point or were you still holding after a big dump below your entry? So is does FOMO strategy have a 20% success rate or is it actually more like 5% (because of the non profit taking).
I have no idea of course, but my guess is, that the ones who did FOMO or were having a hard time not to FOMO at 13k, maybe max 5% of them bought at 9700/10500. Human nature and when being inexperienced in this game, to feel bullish on the way up and bearish on the way down. Maybe it's time we stop making it so easy for the whales and filling the order book with buys at the highs and sells at the lows?
Think long term, like the big boys are doing and plan ahead to prevent emotional decisions.

Trade To Win"Those who lose - trade not to lose. Those who are successful - trade to Win."
Losing Vs Winning
Most traders are more focused on not losing than they are on winning. Do you understand what this means? This means you are acting not in your best interest, but against your self. By focusing on how much you can or might lose, or on not losing, you increase the likelihood of making mistakes which ultimately lead to a losing traders equation, and a negative equity curve.
Profitable traders do not care about losing. They understand it is part of winning. They focus on winning. What is the best move in this moment? Should I get out or continue to hold based on what the market is telling me? Winning traders accept the risk totally and completely; before getting into the trade. In other words, they have already lost what is on the line. Therefore they act in their own best interest, not based on their thoughts about what they could lose, but based on what the market is telling them to do in this moment.
Other than this psychological difference, here are a few other key components on How to Trade To Win.
Defined Edge - Every trader who is making money in the market has some form of edge which he employs. Even if his edge is purely intuitive. This is extreme and rare however, and most traders have clearly defined their edge and will only trade that edge. This removes randomness. Many beginners think they are going to study the market and be able to trade the market no matter what it is doing (trade intuitively). This is simply not the case for most. The purpose of studying the market is to identify opportunities in form of an edge. An edge is a setup or context which repeats itself over time. It might occur once a day, once a week, or once a month. It does not matter. All that matters is that you only trade your clearly defined edge, and leave the randomness behind.
For more information, you can read about the edge I use in every market I trade. We also describe how you can develop your own edge, and trade it in any market.
Stop Doing, Relax Efforts - If you are losing in the market, chances are you are doing too much. Many beginners, and even experienced traders think they must be trading in order to be a successful trader. This leads to random trading, over trading, and mistakes which compound themselves. You end up digging a hole, and instead of looking for a way out, you look for a different shovel.
The harder you try to make a profit, the more you do, the more actions you make, and the more you lose. The market rewards those who are observant, disciplined, and most importantly patient. The market takes from those who try too hard, and do too much. If you dont believe me, try as hard as you can to make money, and see how you do!
By relaxing your efforts, you relax your mind. In turn relax your actions and decision making. You do not have to trade every day to be a profitable trader. It sounds paradoxical doesn't it? How can I make money trading if I dont trade? By only trading when it is appropriate like when your edge is present, you better your odds of success.
Profitable trading does not come from trading constantly. Profitable trading comes from the act of non-doing, and out of a state of emptiness. Profitable trading is effortless, it comes out of waiting for just the right moment before taking action. And then waiting some more while the market proves you right or wrong. Profitable trading is not forced; it just happens.
Active VS Passive Trading -
This is very similar to the previous topic. Active trading is a trader who is constantly in the market, trading whatever he see's or feels right. This trader is often wrong, and when he is right he makes the mistake of exiting too early due to fear. This leads to a negative traders equation as he continues to struggle to do the right thing. An Active Trader mentality is one which does not believe in "non-doing." He believes he must, and can, do something. He is afraid of missing out and is often swayed by thoughts and emotions. So he continues trading never looking back, and at the end of the month cannot figure out why his account is in the red.
A Passive Trader is the opposite. He passes on more trades than he takes. He does not care about what he misses out on. He only cares about what he takes and the actions he makes in the market. He does not force trades, he just watches the market until he knows what to do. Or he waits and waits until his edge finally sets up. He is passive in his efforts, rather than active. He does not care if he doesn't trade today, this week, or even this month. Trading is not what is important to him; winning is. He knows that profits come from sitting, waiting. Because he is willing to wait, he is peaceful. And profits continue to come into his account, effortlessly.
For more information on developing this type of mentality, see below. We also detail how to understand markets through price action, how to create, define, and employ an edge, and how to develop your traders mentality to succeed in markets.

BITCOIN and GOLD! Short term connection that can reveal a lot!You are all familiar with the similarities between Bitcoin (Digital Gold) and Gold on the long term and on a cycle wide scale.
Similarities that have allowed to accurately price Bitcoin's bottom:
Or still see an early entry on the Golden Cross occurence:
Even spot the parabolic extension from the 0.382 Fibonacci level to the 0.618 peak:
What is very interesting is the similar candle action on the short term price movement between the two. Again Gold appears to be leading BTC!
Can it be a coincidence that both store of value assets have broken into a new bull cycle and made their peak at the same time?
Surprisingly Gold is more aggressive trading well above the MA200 and since yesterday even above the MA50. This is also better illustrated by the fact that Gold managed to make a peak on the 5 Fibonacci extension (from the consolidation phase), while Bitcoin managed to peak at 4.236.
This is purely an educational analysis intended to develop the general notion that Bitcoin and Gold (digital store of value and physical store of value) are by nature interlinked.
What are your thoughts on this study? Can Gold show the way to BTC even on a shorter time frame?
As usual let me know in the comments section!!
Anatomy of a Parabolic BreakdownHello! Today I though I would compare bitcoins current situation to the blow off top in 2017. The similiarites so far are striking, however this may not last. History often rhymes but rarely repeats. So, do not take this as an absolute must happen however follow along and let us see if the fractals continue to play out this way!
Peace and Love to , hope you are all getting rich

Bitcoin And The Insane Beauty Of The Fibonacci Golden Pocket!Bitcoin as always makes perfect sense when looking back in hindsight. The single most respected Fibonacci Retracement level is the 61.8% level, yet as we all know exact targets are rarely hit. When we add the 65.0% Fib Retracement level to the 61.8% Fib Retracement level we get what is famously known as the Fibonacci Golden Pocket. This is the single most respected reversal zone when using Fibonacci Retracement analysis.
This chart is a perfect educational example of the Fibonacci Golden Pocket working its magic.
I hope you found this post educational and manage to keep this Golden Pocket analytical tool in your memory bank for the future!

What Is Bitcoin ??
Bitcoin is the most secure and robust cryptocurrency in the world, currently finding its way across the world of business and finance. Bitcoin was thought of as Internet money in its early beginnings. Unlike fiat currencies Bitcoin is a decentralized currency. That means that a network of users control and verify transactions instead of a central authority like a bank or a government.
Up to this day, Bitcoin uninterruptedly works as money one person pays another person for goods and services. Once Bitcoin is exchanged, the record of the transaction is publicly recorded onto a ledger known as the blockchain, which other Bitcoin users, known as miners, verify by putting those transactions into a block and adding it to the blockchain after Proof of Work (PoW).
After a certain amount of transactions have been verified by a miner, they will receive newly minted bitcoins for their work and thus new bitcoins will be added into circulation, while the number of bitcoins in circulations are now in the multi-millions range, the maximum amount of bitcoins that can ever be created is capped at 21 million. The creation rate is automatically halved approximately every four years as more bitcoins are added into circulation, whilst this system is modeled after gold, mining difficulty is always increasing as hashrate increases and makes finding new bitcoins harder as the number of available bitcoins reaches the 21 million cap.
As bitcoin has matured as a cryptocurrency, there have been more companies warming to the idea of using various bitcoin exchange facilities to gain exposure to the volatile bitcoin price while a few websites such as reddit WordPress and overstock have begun accepting Bitcoin, most major retailers have yet to take the plunge into Bitcoin.
Satoshi Nakamoto Founder Of Bitcoin
Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or people who developed bitcoin, authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, they also devised the first blockchain database.In the process, they were the first to solve the double-spending problem for digital currency using a peer-to-peer network. They were active in the development of bitcoin up until December 2010.
