The Crypto Market Game: How to Win Against Fear and ManipulationDid you really think profiting from the current bull run (a comprehensive upward market) would be easy? Don't be naive. Do you think they’ll let you buy low, hold, and sell high without any struggle? If it were that simple, everyone would be rich. But the truth is: 90% of you will lose. Why? Because the crypto market is not designed for everyone to win.
They will shake you. They will make you doubt everything. They will create panic, causing you to sell at the worst possible moment. Do you know what happens next? The best players in this game buy when there’s fear, not sell—because your panic gives them cheap assets.
This is how the game works: strong hands feed off weak hands. They exaggerate every dip, every correction, every sell-off. They make it look like the end of the world so you abandon everything. And when the market rises again, you’re left sitting there asking, “What just happened?”
This is not an accident. It’s a system. The market rewards patience and punishes weak emotions. The big players already know your thoughts. They know exactly when and how to stir fear, forcing you to give up. When you panic, they profit. They don’t just play the market—they play you. That’s why most people never succeed: they fall into the same traps over and over again.
People don’t realize that dips, FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt), and panic are all part of the plan. But the winners? They block out the noise. They know that fear is temporary, but smart decisions last forever.
We’ve seen this play out hundreds of times. They pump the market after you sell. They take your assets, hold them, and sell them back to you at the top—leaving you with nothing, wondering how it happened.
Don’t play their game. Play your own.

GME - The cat is gone, the mice try to keep the party goingDoing a technical analysis of NYSE:GME might seem idiotic and pointless. We all know price is ruled by Reddits and social media posts. It used to have its moments due to a kitten, with insane movements. The kitten has fled, and the Reddits still claiming this is the best company ever do not have the power to keep the stock up. Management has proven several times they do not care about shareholders, instead they see them as a tool. They have taken advantage of shareholders more than once, and they will again.
Price is now in a kind of limbo, wedge pattern. This will not last. The company has a full bank account, but has not shown or communicated anything about any potential investments. In fact, they have shown signs of trying to save the obsolete business of yesterday by closing some stores. I am fully aware that something must be going on behind the scenes, but it has been a story for some time. NYSE:GME still has the right to issue/sell more a lot of shares, and given their history of totally ignoring and abusing their shareholders, I expect another dilution of shareholders. Continued no news, reduced interest, no hope of the kitten rescue, lower highs on the chart, I feel the lower channel band will be broken and we face the support around $15, then $10. Without RK, and a non-communicating RC there is no case.

Madison Square Garden Entertainment | MSGE | Long at $36.00Madison Square Garden Entertainment NYSE:MSGE appears to be forming a slow, but steady, upward channel. With a 9.7 P/E, 40M float, low debt, and high institutional ownership, it's an interesting value play. From a technical analysis standpoint, the large looming gaps above the current price area screaming to be closed. There is one lower price gap between $29.05 and $29.06 ($0.01) that may get closed before a stronger move up - something to keep an eye on if the price drops below $35 in the near-term. NYSE:MSGE is a strong name that I think will eventually follow the path of NYSE:MSGS from a price perspective. However, headwinds such as the potential for a slowing economy, rising ticket prices, etc are something to consider. At $36.00, NYSE:MSGE is in a personal buy zone.

NYSE:NKE had a bearish gap down caused by earnings on Oct01. Continuation after the slight pullback to 84.50, price breaks below 81.25 and 80.75, two minor levels I was monitoring. Price breaks this zone, retests, then continues back downwards to 73.25. Price touches 73.25 then begins a slight bullish rally up to 77.25 - 78.00 zone. Current sideways range, bulls look for break above 79.25, bears look for break below 77.25. NYSE:NKE next earnings report is mid/late Dec.

$FREY - more money down the drain, headed for the graveyardNYSE:FREY is a company set up to enrich the owners and key players. They have tapped into subsidies in several countries, and the owners have made millions. They have delivered nothing, and plan after plan has been cancelled. After getting tons of money and praise in Norway, they shut down and moved to the US. Because the US government provided a better environment. Still delivering nothing, they now got awarded €122 million from the EU. Watch this money go down the drain, or into owners pockets. No point in doing any technical analysis, this company is heading in one direction only. Be aware of short termed price jumps based on nonsense, it is all part of the process of bankruptcy. As always, do your own due diligence. If this company is alive in its current form in 1 year, I will never post anything in here again.

Price consolidation with earnings ahead, great fundamentals!Over the last five years, the company has experienced rising revenues, though growth began to decelerate in FY 2022. Quarterly revenue data from 2023 and 2024 indicates that FY 2024 will achieve at least a 10% year-over-year revenue increase. YETI's revenue is typically seasonal, peaking during the holiday season. FY 2023 revenues were impacted by a voluntary product recall, which was completed before FY 2024 began.
Currently, YETI is trading at over one standard deviation below its two-year average P/E ratio, at approximately a 16% discount from historical averages, with an implied stock value in the range of $43.06 to $49.05 per share.
The company is largely equity-funded and has a $300 million credit line based on SOFR. As of Q2 2024, it pays 7.3% on $80 million of debt, and its cash-to-debt ratio is greater than one, indicating no need for additional capital to cover all debt obligations.
Since August 2022, insider purchases have far exceeded insider sales, with 468,637 shares acquired at an average cost basis of $39.24 per share. The current stock price is below this cost basis, highlighting the stock's discount. The significant volume of insider buying relative to sales further underscores this discount. Additionally, YETI is authorized to repurchase $300 million in stock in FY 2024.
Four hedge funds hold substantial positions in YETI, with each either adding to or establishing new positions in 2024. Their cost basis for these holdings ranges from $38.58 to $42.49.
I recommend a BUY rating for YETI, with a target price of $46.89. The current stock price is trading below all analyst recommendations and below the average hedge fund cost basis, making it an attractive value buy.

ICP from6,8to15 NEXT SOL and ETH killer CMC lies about the chartEvery dip its a good point of entry to buy on spot and long x2 ICP will turn parabolic soon when mass adoption kicks in there is no limit, if also the coin gets good marketing will help, but the problem is abut there is real crypto mafia that control the market, they decide which coin to pump and what no, I heavily believe Coinmarketcap chart (check ICP Coinbase chart) is manipulated in order to keep extracting the money of new users to buy stupid coins that are copies of BTC and ETH all layer1 or layer2, all paying CMC and Coingecko to put false charts to make believe the coin is dead.
ICP is the only that has real value of web3 hosting combined with AI and literally obliterates every other coin on market in terms of utility and usage, a REAL WORLD COMPUTER, just look at metrics, DAOs, the team...

NYSE:CRM releases earnings today, Tuesday Dec 3rd, after market close. Price ranges up to previous earnings on Aug 28th. This range finally breaks out and creates a bullish trend that has held strong leading up to today's earnings. High timeframes show bullish trend (my trend determining indicator), along with current chart trend bands (my channel/bands directional bands). ATM Straddles suggest the expected move to be around 7.25%, or $24.00 in either direction. This is on pace with it's average and historical earnings moves (previous 8 - 12 quarters).
My estimated moves:
Downside: ~$300
Upside: ~$360
(30-45 DTE)
This is what I would personally look at before entering trades, everything is subject to change on a daily basis and as I analyze different timeframes and ideas.

NASDAQ:OKTA price movement has been range bound since the previous earnings report on Aug28th. I am now looking for this upcoming earnings report on Nov3rd post market to be the new catalyst for breaking out or down from this range. The bottom level of the range marks the 52 week lows. For the time being, price has made its way to the top of the range, if there is a negative reaction to the earnings report, price may only dip back down to the bottom of the range and stay within the sideways levels.
This is what I would personally look at before entering trades, everything is subject to change on a daily basis and as I analyze different timeframes and ideas.

PA #1 : NZDCAD BUY 27/11/24 SLFirst Post Analysis
This explain my NZD CAD TRADE
Here is the 3 main questions i answer:
1. what did i do right ?
- Asking the right questions: is there activity/job today ? and if yes, where it is ?
- Identification of fundamental high impact news
- Confirmation of market reaction
- identification of the asset (here NZD)
- Conparision of the market reaction with the overall flow
- Pair selection: pariring with the CAD which was weak plus high market reaction
- Identification of the Power (previous day break and previous session break).
Even if the loss is here, I still bought in the right direction and for a good price
2. what did i do wrong ?
- Was wrong on the timing specifically, entered in a pullback when the sellers were still dominating. Didn't wait for the retest to confirm if the sellers are weak.
- Too much Timeframes (30s) which create confusion.
- Too stuck on a pattern, when the market won't necesseraly show the same way
2. What am I going to change from now
- I will stick to the 2 TF (15 min and 3 min) or 1H and 15 min
- I will wait for the sellers to fail and THEN look for the money spot.
FINAL DAY: -2.76%
OBJECTIF: +10%
