Want to play safe? Don't play at all... for now! ⚠️This is just a short idea to remind you of some important items in situations like this.
Don't just open random positions.
Have these items in mind:
What not to do in Heavy dumps
1. Don't do leverage trading
2. Don't buy coins in FOMO
3. Don't stick to the screen all-day
4. Don't do revenge trading
5. Don't average out every dip
6. Don't go all in one coin

❗Black Swan by stablecoins. Threat or opportunity for traders?Hi friends! If it heppen to one UST is it heppen to another stablecoins? Next trigger for BTC dump can be caused by stablecoins instability. In this idea i`ll show you some facts about it!
🦢Black Swan. The last Black Swan in all financial markets happened in 2020 because of Covid-19. The crypto market fell by 64%. After the bull market, the Fed Reserve started raising the interest rate, BTC fell by 56%.
What if all the stabelcoins are not secured by anything? If previously the fall of cryptocurrencies was caused by global cataclysms, now we can expect the first black swan only for the cryptocurrency market.
With a EXTREME fear in the market and panic sales of retail traders, BTC could fall to $22k or lower.
📊Stablecoins by Market Capitalization:
1. Tether (USDT) - $83B
2. USD Coin (USDC) - $48.5B
3. Binance USD (BUSD) - $17.1B
4. Dai (DAI) - $6.9B
5. TerraUSD (UST) - $6.9B
Total: $169.4B
❗It`s almost 10% of TOTAL Crypto market Capitalization (169.4/1400).
💱We all know what happened to Luna and UST stabelcoin. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pushes for stablecoin regulation by end of year. Even if the LUNA and UST recover to their previous price, a lot of attention will be focused on other stablecoins as well. On the other hand, this is positive for the crypto market and market players, as crypto security will increase.

📊How to use Volume indicator to identify the BOTTOM?...and finally buy the right BTC and ALTs dip!😊
Hi friends! Lots of traders buy crypto at the ATH or close to it in hope to make 10x,100x etc. Is it possible and how to do it more succesfull? In this idea i`ll share with you some methods that can realy help you to:
🔶 identify the bottom of the market
🔶 use the volume indicator in right way
🔶 get crypto at a discount
1. Identify the bottom of the market. Already in several ideas I explain you how you can identify the bottom of the market, and traders shared their ideas in the comments also. We will not stop for a long time around all the methods, you can read about them in this idea and in the comments below it.
💹In this idea I will talk about the fundamental method of how to identify the bottom - liquidation . Liquidation is the process when the exchange takes traders' money to cover losses of a long or short. This can happen if you use leverage in trading and do not use risk and money management. 'Cascades of Liquidations' happen when the price falls without any stops by 30-50%. This is a result of not enough buyers in the market to hold the price and as the price drops, more and more leveraged positions get liquidated - it's like a snowball effect🏂 I've seen this in 2018, seen traders who entered the crypto market in the spring of 2020 and most recently in 2021.
2. Use the volume indicator in right way. Why do I use a volume indicator? It's very simple. This is an indicator that shows where a big players open or close their trades. 🚩If a huge liquidations have happened, someone has sold a lot and someone has bought a lot. Why? Just as DOM and Footprint help to identify whale buying or selling orders, so the volumes show the amount of money traded and help to identify liquidations. Also, it can be used at different timeframes to see whales' willingness to buy or sell at key levels, trend lines and other trading instruments. Volume is a real representation of the number of trades.
3. Get crypto at a discount. If you wanted to buy Bitcoin at 60k, why when it drop by 70% you don't want to buy it? Or altcoin, which is down by 95%? A simple example, when you go to the store you want to buy a car with a discount . If there are two identical Lambos🚙 which cost $250,000 and $100,000, why do you want to buy the one that costs more? Ask yourself this question. This is not financial advice, just a comparison of facts and explanation of traders psychology.
✅As we can see on the chart, the last time after such a massive liquidation in 2020-2021, Bitcoin and Ethereum rose by 1100% and 3400%. For example, Binance Coin (BNB) rose by 6460%, Cardano rose by 11400%. Also, after the last liquidations in 2021, there was a good ALTSEASON, when Bitcoin grew by 100%, and all Altcoins by more than 300%.
🏁My personal advice if it`s happen again:
1. Remember about your risks and money management.
2. Use your strategy and don`t panic. You need to just wait for good entry point.
3. Use VOLUME indicator like an additional tool. This indicator can help you to identify the bottom, but not to do all the work for you.
💻Please write in the comments if you still have the questions about the liquidations or Volume indicator! I`ll try to explain you additional tips 🎇

🚩How to identify the bottom and BUY the crypto in time? 3 tips!🌟How to BUY crypto in time and with the possible highest RETURN? The correct answer is during the capitulations.
🎯Capitulation is when even patient and experienced traders start to panic, but this is the opportunity time (Jan 2015, Nov 2018, Mar 2020, May 2021).
🔶How to buy crypto during the capitulations? Use the dollar cost average (DCA) strategy. This strategy allows you to buy crypto by parts without risking all of your capital.
🔶How to use DCA strategy? This strategy helps to average the BUY price. You can only sell at the top and buy at the bottom by accident. In real life, this strategy helps to average the buy price of a crypto. For example, back in 2019, you bought Bitcoin 3 times at $3,000, $4,000, and $5,000. The average purchase price in this case is $4,000. If the price go lower, you would average the price, if it rose, you already bought at a good price. Also, you can BUY at the weekly candle close during the capitulions. It is important to use the equal parts of the capital to buy (1/10, 1/20 etc.). Another simple example is shown on the chart😉
🔶How you can identify a capitulation?
1. Look at the volumes and record liquidations as shown on the chart. The liquidation of 50-100k Bitcoins is the best indicator.
2. Look at the percentage of drop from the highs. Historically, a price drop by 65-80% has been the bottom of the market.
3. Use the indicators that show the bottom of the market. Read this idea about the 🔋Greenwich indicator. It shows both the top and bottom of the market. So when BUY signals (green diamonds) appear, you can use this indicator to buy crypto by parts.
🔶Why does the DCA strategy work? Bitcoin, like U.S. stock markets, is in a long-term Uptrend. After buying Bitcoin in 2017 at its ATH ($18-19k), investors are now still at +100% profit. And as long as this trend is not broken this strategy will work. For example, the U.S. stock market has been in uptrend for over 80-90 years.
💻Please write in the comments if you still have questions about the DCA strategy or how else you can identify the bottom. What methods do you use for that? 🎇

Bitcoin: Liquidity and Order blocks!This is an educational post! I have tried to combine the concept of liquidity with that of supply and demand to show you one of the most efficient trade setups in financial markets!
You basically have a descending trendline in 30m chart of bitcoin! Price reaches a confluence area in higher time frame analysis (let's not be concerned about that now) then it jumps a bit to create a range! We know range bounds are liquidity nests!
So price first grabs the upper range liquidity, breaking the market structure at the same time and hence confirming the long bias! Then it comes down to the demand zone, grabbing the lower range liquidity at the same time and then boom! It goes to the target!
🎯BTC: Real Life wedge trading! Tutorial for traders!🌟 The picture of the wedge pattern is beautiful, but you have to understand how to trade in Real Life! In this idea I will try to teach you how to enter the trade and what to look for. The descending wedge is a bullish pattern. On the chart you can see how it works on Bitcoin. Over the past year, it has worked well in 3 out of 3 trades.
🎓What is the wedge? Wedge is the price consolidation in downtrend or uptrend. So if it`s UPTREND, the price making higher highs and higher lows. The whales in this case sell higher and higher. Ascending (uptrend) wedge is bearish pattern. So If it`s downtrend the price making lower highs and lower lows. The big players try to hunt trader stop losses to get the liquidity for their LONG positions.
🚩Let`s start from the May-July 2021 wedge! In addition to the descending wedge, there are several triggers to open a long:
1. false breakout (liquidity collection) of the $30K key level. A lot of stop losses were collected, a lot of traders were liquidated. The whales were happy. Additionally, pay attention to volumes as well as liquidation volumes.
2. squeeze under the upper boundary of the wedge and test it as support. Here you can open a trade during the squeeze under the trendline and after test it as support. It`s better to check at lower timeframe.
All this added up to a long two-month consolidation with stops losses hunting and Bitcoin DUMP by 50-55%. Many traders simply lost faith and closed positions at a loss.
The price rose by 50-60%, but if you had closed the trade on the next Dump, you would have a profit at least +30-35%.
🚩Next is the Sep 2021 wedge! In this case we didn't see big liquidations, the whales had enough liquidity, and everyone who shorted on this 23% drop became the fuel🔥 for further growth. Additional triggers:
1. a trend change. The price trend changed from a downtrend to a small consolidation and then started to create higher highs and lows.
2. squeezing under the local trend line on lower timeframes. If you switch to the 1 hour timeframe this is clearly visible.
3. test of the global and local trend line as support and growth without pullbacks (strength of the bulls).
We close the deal as soon as the target is reached. If you continued to hold the trade for more than 10 days, the profit would be at least +30%.
🚩 Will the fourth wedge break up(4/4)? During this Apr 2021 wedge, we have not seen the huge liquidations yet. Also, we haven't seen bullish strength, squeezes under trend lines or levels. Therefore, we should wait for our entry point and don`t open trades without the confirmation of the trading strategy. I'll share with you my local ideas later.
🌐Globally, the market has been in a $30-67k consolidation for more than 1.5 years. Sooner or later the price will choose the trend and maybe even in the next few weeks.
🔥Trading is the combination of trading tools, using filters and non-standard methods, which I try to explain in my training ideas.

🎯BTC & $US index: the secret combo for traders!📊Bitcoin is rising while the dollar is falling and vice versa. Today I will use the simple examples to show the pattern that helps to identify the trend of Bitcoin for many years.
The instruments that we need:
🔶Bitcoin is the #1 cryptocurrency, the first and foremost crypto-asset, our favorite grandpa. Bitcoin's movement is copied by 99% of all crypto, it is the main indicator of the crypto market.
🔶DXY - U.S. Dollar Index. It was created in 1974 and shows the ratio of the US dollar to the basket of six other major currencies: euro, yena, pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc. The index essentially shows how strong the U.S. dollar is.
💡I've taken a few cycles as an example to make it easy to understand this principle. For the example, I don't take data up to 2017. At that time Bitcoin was with the small capitalization and a big HYPE. You're not interested in perfect examples, but in real experience and usage, aren't you?
So, the first cycle of 2017-2018 shows us that:
1. as soon as the index started to fall🐻, Bitcoin had an active bull run.
2. when the index hit lows it was almost Bitcoin's tops.
The second cycle of 2018-2020, Bitcoin spent in a huge consolidation and two corrections of -70%🐻 What was the index doing this time? Of course it was rising! Only after the last fall of Bitcoin in 2020, it was able to recover and continue its rise to the new ATH!
In the third cycle of 2020-2021 Bitcoin was able to grow to $63-67 thousand due to the unprecedented weakness of the dollar. Now Bitcoin is in consolidation and even the mass adoption and hype around crypto is not help BTC to renew ATH.
🏁The dollar was weakening amid huge inflation and Bitcoin was rising, but when the FED began raising the interest rate and investors began to transfer money from Europe to the United States, the index began a new bull run. You saw an example of what happens during an index bull run. Therefore, we should expect an active phase of Bitcoin growth at the moment when the FED rate hike ends (the end of August) and geopolitical issues will be solved😉

BTC: Real Life mirror level trading! Tutorial for Beginners!💡A mirror level is a level that price tests as support and resistance several times. It helps to open long or short trades on a test of the level. Usually the mirror levels are numbers like 100, 1000, 50,000, which traders pay attention to. It can also be previous ATHs, important global levels that can be easily identified. Price bounces off of them because a large number of traders pay attention to it.
I have marked 2 global mirror levels for you:
1. $10101
2. $41950
On the chart I have marked tests of these levels. Also, on the chart you can see several short (+63%) and long (+59.7%) trades.
Now I give you 2 tips on how to open a trade using the mirror level:
🔶open a trade with a pending stop order. When the price is testing the level as support you can put a stop order to buy, and when it's resistance you can put a stop order to sell
🔶open the trade after the close of the candle. Once you are sure that the level has held the price as support or resistance you can open a trade
📑Based on the statistics, you can see that longs are more profitable. This is because Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are growing 80% of the time. But you can calculate the statistics by yourself and consolidate your new knowledge!
🎓Also you can read the basic desription about Real Life channel trading in this educational idea!

Marubozu Candlestick Pattern 📉📉📉‼️ What is a Marubozu in forex?
A Marubozu is a long or tall Japanese candlestick with no upper or lower shadow (or wick). The candlestick pattern comes in both a bearish (red or black) and a bullish (green or white) form and is easy to spot due to its long body. It basically looks like a vertical rectangle.
‼️ How can you tell if Marubozu is bullish?
The closing Marubozu is a stronger candlestick pattern. It is formed when the close price is equal to the high or the low of the day. When the close price is equal to the low then it is called bearish and when the close is equal to the high it is a bullish Marubozu
‼️ What happens after a Marubozu candle?
After two long red candles, the bearish Marubozu close pattern occurs, which signals that the bears are still a dominant force. Ultimately, the price action continues to move lower as the market was very bearish during this period of time
‼️ How do you use a Marubozu candlestick?
Basically, when trading marubozu candlesticks,
Watch for bullish or bearish candlesticks to form.
If bullish, take a long when price breaks above.
Place stop below candlesticks.
If bearish, take a short when price falls below.
Place a stop above candlestick.
Cup and Handle Trading Pattern 📉📉📉✅ A cup and handle is a technical chart pattern that resembles a cup and handle where the cup is in the shape of a "u" and the handle has a slight downward drift. A cup and handle is considered a bullish signal extending an uptrend, and it is used to spot opportunities to go long.
🎯 Cup Handle Pattern
William O'Neil's Cup with Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout. ... The cup forms after an advance and looks like a bowl or rounding bottom. As the cup is completed, a trading range develops on the right-hand side and the handle is formed
🎯 What happens after cup and handle pattern?
If a cup and handle pattern is confirmed, it will be followed by a bullish price move upward. You can pick a price target based on the size of the cup, but it becomes much less clear what will happen after the initial breakout from the cup and handle pattern.
🎯 How reliable is cup and handle pattern?
The accuracy rate for cup and handle pattern for forex and stock on Daily timeframe are 65% and 68% respectively.
Three Black Crows Pattern 📉📉📉hree black crows is a phrase used to describe a bearish candlestick pattern that may predict the reversal of an uptrend. Candlestick charts show the day's opening, high, low, and closing prices for a particular security. For stocks moving higher, the candlestick is white or green.
🎯 The three black crows candlestick pattern is considered a relatively reliable bearish reversal pattern. Consisting of three consecutive bearish candles at the end of a bullish trend, the three black crows signals a shift of control from the bulls to the bears.
✅ The black crow pattern consists of three consecutive long-bodied candlesticks that have opened within the real body of the previous candle and closed lower than the previous candle. Often, traders use this indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators or chart patterns as confirmation of a reversal.
✅ Three Black Crows Explained
Three black crows are a visual pattern, meaning that there are no particular calculations to worry about when identifying this indicator. The three black crows pattern occurs when bears overtake the bulls during three consecutive trading sessions. The pattern shows on the pricing charts as three bearish long-bodied candlesticks with short or no shadows or wicks.
In a typical appearance of three black crows, the bulls will start the session with the price opening modestly higher than the previous close, but the price is pushed lower throughout the session. In the end, the price will close near the session low under pressure from the bears.
This trading action will result in a very short or nonexistent shadow. Traders often interpret this downward pressure sustained over three sessions to be the start of a bearish downtrend.
✅ Limitations of Using Three Black Crows
If the three black crows pattern involves a significant move lower, traders should be wary of oversold conditions that could lead to consolidation before a further move lower. The best way to assess the oversold nature of a stock or other asset is by looking at technical indicators, such as the relative strength index (RSI), where a reading below 30.0 indicates oversold conditions, or the stochastic oscillator indicator that shows the momentum of movement.
Many traders typically look at other chart patterns or technical indicators to confirm a breakdown, rather than using the three black crows pattern exclusively. As a visual pattern, it is open to some interpretation such as what is an appropriately short shadow.

BTC: Real Life channel trading! 3 tips for beginners95% of beginners don't understand why patterns don't work as it shown in the books. That's why losses, stress, and worries appear. The point is that only practice and personal experience will help you understand how to use it correctly.
I will give you a few secrets how to trade in the channel successfully:
1. after testing the borders of the channel, wait for a false breakout or liquidity collection. At point 3 and point 5, there was a large collection of liquidity, after which you can open a LONG. You can see the result by yourself (+28%).
2. Pay attention to the key levels and value zones - combine instruments.
2.1. At point 4 there is a large value zone of $46-47k, which became a resistance. Combined with the upper boundary of the channel, it was a strong resistance zone, which means price is sure to bounce off. We saw a 20% drop!
2.2. At point 5, there was a large value zone of $37.5-40k from which the price also bounced off. The lower boundary of the channel+value zone was a major support for price. Not bad?
3. The middle of the channel. On the chart, we can see that it is often tested as resistance/support. An additional opportunity to open a trade.
Be crafty, use trading tools in combination with each other and you will notice results immediately.

BTC: identified the bottom with VOLUME PROFILE! How to use it?
As we expected, Bitcoin tested the $37800-39600 zone. But how could you predict this? You have to use the volume profile.
A volume profile is close to horizontal volumes (bottom panel), but using them, you can indicate:
1. value areas(support and resistance)
2. liquidity gaps
This indicator is easy to apply, it is in the left sidebar in the "Prediction and Measurement Tools". You can use it to indicate the value zones in ANY crypto/stocks/currency.
Why does it work? The volume profile is a real value data and that's why the price reacts to it most of the time. Similarly, you can use the DOM and Footprint in real time to track the value zones and reversal points for price. If you have questions about it, write in comments or to the DM!
Right now we expect an upward move on Bitcoin:
1. The price has started to squeeze under the $41400-42700 value zone, which shows buyer strength.
2. Volumes have also increased. BIG VOLUMES=BIG PLAYERS.
3. Short traders who opened trades on the fall will be the FUEL for the upward movement.

Bitcoin: 2 trading tips for BEGGINERS!Bitcoin has been in a $30,000 to $67,000 global consolidation for more than a YEAR. You can see on the chart that Bitcoin was down -31%, -36%, -58%, -25%, -52%, -19%. If you use a leverage larger than x2, you could be liquidated multiple times!
Do you want to increase your deposit? Use risk and money management! These are simple rules that help to calculate the risk of your position and the amount of money to buy CRYPTO.

That way, the chance of losing your money is minimal (-1-2%) and the profit will be +5% to capital. If you have $10,000, you will earn +$500 per trade. Not bad, don't you think?
In addition, you can also use the short positions, it means to earn on the falls. To do this you:
1. have to understand the basics of trading
2. need to have a desire to study and earnr
This is a short and basic description of risk and money management principles. Trading is easy, but knowing the basics is essential.

AXS, how to trade using KEY LEVELS? FREE education!Key Level. How can a common tool help you to earn more? Let's take Axie Infinity (AXS) as an example!
A key level is a local minimum or maximum. It can be clearly marked after a BIG price movement up or down (points of extremum). Key levels are often the price of 1, 10, 50, 100 dollars, because many traders pay attention to this numbers.
On the chart we have marked two key levels:
1. lower (for longs) - $44.68
2. upper (for shorts) - $72
When to open a trade:
1. on a test of the key level as support or resistance;
2. on false breakdown of the level.
IMPORTANT: IN BOTH CASES, VOLUMES MUST INCREASE! It`s an indicator that a big player opens a trade too!
Using the KEY LEVELS you could earn: +62%, +62%, +38%. Risk to reward for these trades from 1:7 to 1:14(!). It's a good statistic, right?

RISK ON vs RISK OFF 📉📉as i use this confluence to enter trades.
🎯 Risk ON vs Risk OFF market sentiment reflects all the market activity, its not a market sentiment for crypto or forex or stock market its for all the financial markets, when i use this confluence i try to understand what are institutional/retail investors are doing are they buying risk on assets or they are buying risk on assets.
🎯 Usually investors buy risk on assets when they are looking for risk meaning they want higher yield on their investment they want to MULTIPLY money(key word) this is happening during times of financial prosperity, no wars, no lockdowns, no problems around the world everyone are doing great and making money
🎯 On other side RISK OFF is when investors tend to buy financil assets that PROTECT (key word) their capital they dont want a high yield they want just to save their money and protect during time of financial stress, wars, lockdowns when everything is not clear and safe.

A simple trick to keep your emotions out of the game!Do you have trouble with FOMO or sticking with your plan?
One of the most simple tricks to help take your emotions out of the game and stick with logic is to change your candle colors. Yes, it really makes a difference! Psychologically we are hard wired to react to red and green as STOP and GO reactions. This is actually the opposite of what you want when trading from a smart money perspective. Unless you are a 'breakout' trader or something of the sort, most times you want to be buying when things are red and selling when things are green. When we see red and green on the charts and can cause us to jump in impulsively to the wrong direction. So in short, find some neutral colors that for you still provide you the necessary information and contrast, but do not evoke a strong emotional response. In my case I'm sticking with blue up and yellow down, but have also experimented with greens and grays, etc.
At any rate, this is a super basic post, but I think it is extremely important and also often disregarded as red/green are default. At the very least, give it a try and see how you react emotionally to the bars going forward.
I've also requested that tradingview gives us color customization options for the watchlist. As opening this first thing in the morning and seeing everything red or green can be very jarring and lead you to respond emotionally and jump right in.
Hope it helps somebody!
buy a dip or catch a falling knifethe text in the chart says it all
don't think u're a genius because you longed a dip, zoom out to see the bigger picture and understand that any trade requires risk management for this specific reason
don't try to catch a falling knife, either go with the motion or wait til it has fallen
look for strong demand zone
and your stop loss will be your best tool whether you go with the motion (short at a pullback) or try to long the dip, STOP LOSS is PRIMORDIAL
stop loss protects u from cutting urself too deep in case u were catching a falling knife
