Navigating Ethereum: Analyzing Price Ranges & Bitcoin DominanceOver the past week, Ethereum has exhibited both volatility and stagnation, trading within a defined price range. I would like to provide an analysis of Ethereum's price action, discuss the significance of support and resistance levels, and highlight the importance of Bitcoin dominance in the cryptocurrency market. Ethereum's Price Range: A Closer Look Since last Friday, Ethereum has been trading within a range of $1700 and $1850, oscillating between the upper and lower limits approximately 10 times. This range-bound behavior has created clear support and resistance levels, which, when broken, are likely to result in a substantial price movement. Managing Risk and Anticipating Breakouts One common risk management strategy in range-bound markets is to buy at the lower end of the range and sell at the upper end. However, should Ethereum's price break below the established support level, it could trigger a decline into the lower $1600s. Conversely, if the price breaks through the resistance level, we may witness a surge towards the $2000-$2500 range, which has been a potential target for months. Bitcoin Dominance and Its Influence on the Market Despite the enthusiasm surrounding altcoins, Bitcoin's dominance in the cryptocurrency market cannot be overstated. As Ethereum's price action is closely tied to Bitcoin's movements, it is crucial to monitor Bitcoin dominance when assessing Ethereum's future. While it is possible that an altcoin could eventually surpass Bitcoin's market share, such an event is not imminent, and predictions to the contrary should be approached with caution. The importance of Bitcoin dominance highlights the interconnected nature of the cryptocurrency market. Traders and investors must consider the broader market context and the influence of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin when analyzing individual assets such as Ethereum. Trade Cautiously and Avoid Overleveraging As you continue to navigate the Ethereum market, it is essential to trade cautiously and avoid overleveraging. By understanding and analyzing price ranges, support and resistance levels, and the significance of Bitcoin dominance, you can better manage risk and make informed decisions in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape. By keeping a close eye on market trends, monitoring the performance of major cryptocurrencies, and staying updated on relevant news and developments, you can better equip yourself to handle the challenges and opportunities presented by the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies.

1:30 or 1:500 Leverage? How to Decide? As a trader, choosing the right leverage level can have a significant impact on your trading results. Two of the most common leverage options are 1:30 and 1:500. But how do you decide which one is right for you? To understand the difference between 1:30 and 1:500 leverage, let's take the example of trading 1 lot of EUR/USD. With 1:30 leverage, a trader would require a margin of $3,333.33 (1/30th of the position size), while with 1:500 leverage, the required margin would be $200 (1/500th of the position size). While some argue that 1:30 leverage is a potentially safer option, others believe that 1:500 leverage should be considered the appropriate option for those who can only afford to deposit a small amount of money into their trading account. For instance, traders who have limited capital and are just starting may find it difficult to trade with 1:30 leverage as they would need a substantial amount of margin to open trades. In contrast, 1:500 leverage may allow them to take larger positions with a lower amount of capital. Ultimately, it is important to choose the leverage that suits your trading strategy and risk tolerance. Here are some key factors to consider when choosing your leverage level when trading CFDs: Your risk tolerance: Traders with a high-risk tolerance may choose higher leverage, while those with lower risk tolerance may prefer lower leverage. Your trading strategy: For example, a scalping strategy that aims to make small profits on many trades may require higher leverage, while a swing trading strategy that aims for larger gains on fewer trades may need lower leverage. Market volatility: Consider the market you want to trade, and how volatile it is before choosing your leverage level. Account size: The larger your account, the lower the leverage you may need to achieve your desired position size. Regulation: Ensure you understand the leverage restrictions imposed by your broker and regulatory authority before selecting your leverage level.

LOT SIZE, PIPS AND LEVERAGE WHAT IS LEVERAGE Leverage is a tool that increases the purchasing power of the trader’s deposit. The mechanism is funded by the broker, or rather the liquidity provider working with the broker. The leverage mechanism is very simple. The higher the leverage is, the more funds we can invest in trading. Simply put, leverage is kind of a bank loan. But it is much cheaper, and the borrowers usually risk only their own funds on the account. WHAT IS A PIP A pip (percentage in point) is the minimum unit of measurement to express the change in value between two currencies in the Forex market. In currency pairs, 1 pip is often one hundred-thousandth, that is, the fifth decimal place in a currency quote (0.00001). For the derivatives, one pip is usually one hundredth (0.01). Simply put, a pip is the last decimal place in a quote. The pip cost is directly affected by the lot size. LOT SIZE IS The lot size is the number of currency units expressed in the quote currency that compose one whole contract. The quote currency is the currency that used to value the asset price. In the EUR/USD currency pair, the base currency is the EUR. Common lot types are: Standard,Mini-lot (0,1 of a standard one), Micro-lot (0,01 of a standard one), Nano-lot (0,001 of a standard one). LOT AND LEVERAGE RELATION The relation between these two concepts is that both these figures affect the total trade cost. The difference is that this influence is made in opposite directions. The larger is the lot size, the larger is the transaction volume, and, consequently, its value (I mean the security deposit you must have to open the position). However, the higher is the leverage, the less money is required for the trade margin and therefore, the less is the trade cost. CONCLUSION Forex lot size and leverage are the basic concepts for every forex trader. It is of key importance to understand them. Experiment with the calculator and the table to understand how the lot size and leverage affect your position size in particular and your trading in general. This practice will help you develop your own strategy and determine the “best” leverage for your trading goals. I Hope you guys learned something new today✅ Wish you all Best Of Luck👍 😇And may the odds be always in your favor😇 Do you like this post? Do you want more articles like that?

✳️ Ethereum vs Bitcoin (10X Lev.) | Basics of Lev. TradingETHBTC has been consolidating since October 2022 and the question is always to which side will it break, up or down? When you consider the June 2022 low, we start to get some answers. We have a bullish breakout and then consolidation starts to take place. The retrace move prices below 0.5 Fib. in October 2022 and then long-term sideways consolidation is taking place. The fact that prices bounced at 0.5 Fib. is a signal of strength. The MACD is entering the bullish zone and the RSI is bullish above 50 as well. So we have a very strong higher low followed by long-term consolidation after a strong bullish breakout. So the initial move is the bullish breakout and this is the move that is being consolidated. This puts the odds towards the bulls. We are active on this pair with 10X. As I mentioned recently, experienced is needed for leverage trading because each position might need adjustment as the market conditions change. For example, one can use lower leverage if the pair doesn't start to move right away. If the chart setup weakens, one can add more collateral and prepare to wait. More experience can lead to closing a trade while still tracking it to jump back in when the time is right... I spot the setup and share the numbers, you take care of the rest. I will keep the numbers for this one. We are active on XRPBTC though and some other trades that are in the green... LINKUSD, DOTUSDT, ETHUSDT, etc. You can find them in the 'Related Ideas' below. Thanks a lot for your continued support. Namaste.

How Leverage Really Works | Margin Trading Explained Leveraged trading allows even small retail traders to make money trading different financial markets. With a borrowed capital from your broker, you can empower your trading positions. The broker gives you a multiplier x10, x50, x100 (or other) referring to the number of times your trading positions are enhanced. Brokers offer leverage at a cost based on the amount of borrowed funds you’re using and they charge you per each day that you maintain a leveraged position open. For example, let's take EURUSD pair. Let's buy Euro against the Dollar with the hope that the exchange rate will rise. Buying that on spot with 1.195 ask price and selling that on 1.23 price we can make a profit by selling the same amount of EURUSD back to the broker. With x50 leverage, our return will be 50 times scaled. With the leverage, we can benefit even on small price fluctuations not having a huge margin. ❗️Remember that leverage will also multiply the potential downside risk in case if the trade does not play out. In case of a bearish continuation on EURUSD , the leveraged loss will be paid from our margin to the broker. For that reason, it is so important to set a stop loss and calculate the risks before the trading position is opened. Let me know, traders, what do you want to learn in the next educational post?

Bearish on Nasdaq100 with upp to 47 % return on 20xTrade Plan: Asset: Nasdaq 100 index Position: Short sell Entry Point: 12360 Stop Loss: As this is a short position, the stop loss should be above the entry point to limit the potential loss. Based on your risk tolerance and the volatility of the market, you can set the stop loss at a level that you're comfortable with. Let's say you set the stop loss at 12600, which is 2% above the entry point. Leverage: 20x Position Size: The position size will depend on your capital and risk management strategy. As a general rule of thumb, you should risk no more than 1-2% of your account balance on a single trade. For example, if your account balance is $10,000, you can risk up to $200 on this trade. With 20x leverage, you can open a position worth $4,000 ($200 * 20). Targets: Your first target is at 12255, which corresponds to the level of previous support. Your second target is at Fibonacci retracement level 0.382, which corresponds to a price level of 12216. Your third target is at Fibonacci retracement level 0.5, which corresponds to a price level of 12110. Your final target is at Fibonacci retracement level 0.618, which corresponds to a price level of 11999. Exit Strategy: Once the price hits each target, you can take some profits off the table and adjust your stop loss to breakeven or slightly below it. For example, if the price hits the first target at 12255, you can sell half of your position and adjust your stop loss to 12480 (entry point) for the remaining half. If the price hits the second target at 12216, you can sell another quarter of your position and adjust your stop loss to 12500 for the remaining quarter. Similarly, if the price hits the third target at 12110, you can sell the remaining quarter of your position and adjust your stop loss to 12300 for a potential continuation trade. Note: This is just an example trade plan based on the information you provided, and it's not a financial advice. Please do your own research and analysis before making any investment decisions. Always use appropriate risk management strategies, including stop losses, to protect your capital.

Why leverage size is not matterHello dear community. Each trader is a part of discussion about leverages. Some of them say that it's risky, another just playing in casino with 50x. But why leverages is not matter, and how do not lose all deposit? Read below. Firstly, you need to know about 2 things. Support line Risk management Support line I am confident that you know about support line a lot of info, but just reminder. Support line is a zone when price jump back multiply time and coin start growing again. Support line can be detected on each timeframe. But for our case we need to see on 1D and 4H timeframe. Risk management If you are trading without risk management, you will be bankrupt. However, what is that? Risk management is the amount of funds in cash or percentage that you can risk in some trade. For example: You trade BTCUSDT with deposit 1000 USDT. Before you make a trade, you need to decide how many USDT or % will be your risk. The funds that will be lost in the worst scenario of trade. It can be 3-5% for start. In USDT, it will be 30 - 50 USDT. What is next? Next, you should calculate your position size. I suggest using next formula: Position size = Risk /(Buy level - Stop loss). It means if closer to stop-loss you buy order the bigger position you have. Buy level Current chart has support zone on 22546-22261. I suggest split your buy order on few slices on this zone. Stop loss I usually set stop loss behind this zone, in current example my stop at 22222 In this case, the formula will be: 50/(22403,5 - 22222) = 0.276 BTC is your position with risk in 5%. In this example, will be ~6X leverage. But if increase risk until 10%, leverage will be 12X. Trading is not about casino, is about math. Good luck and have good trades!

✳️ ETHBTC 8X Lev. 150%+ PotentialWe are active on this one as well with 8X. This is the same as ETHBTC. We entered on the 6-Feb. in the following range: Buy-in: 0.06950 - 0.07170 Full numbers will be shared later down the road.

 Disclaimer: Do your own research before trading. Lev./margin is high-risk and for experienced traders only.

 If you can't handle a loss, then trading is not likely for you, as some trades we win, many trades we lose. We learn from our mistakes, grow and move on. We make sure not to repeat the same mistakes in the future. But if we do make the same mistake we take responsibility for our actions and make sure the next time we are prepared to take the action we are supposed to take. You can have a plan and everything, be determined yet the emotions can take control. A huge win can change your life... If you are not ready for your life to change, your body, your subconscious mind, might push you to make a mistake because deep down you can't take the win yet and thus another loss. It is a psychological game. That's why we mediate and study so hard... If you grow in your mind, if you grow your energy, if you grow your consciousness, your money easily grows too. 
Namaste.

what would continuation toward contango look like?spot is having a time catching up with price, and this is one of my favorite derivatives. if the turnaround is going to continue to break out, and we pull back to a comfortable level keeping the uptrend daily i would follow the uptrend with leverage. im excited about the current daily pattern being a sign that a snap back to the bulls could happen tuesday, and im also excited about a lot of potential shorts of equity in the index. im just as excited about going long around emas and trendlines holding bull in the overall index. using fib im aiming for bear weekly highs as well as the 1 and the 1.618 as long as we are beating the regressive bottom and accute trend angle.

short vol coming off near outside upweve gained in the market, shed short volume on vix, shed weight on short vix, and lost slightly in svxy. if you study the long term picture svxy is near breakout. 69.69 and 79.79 roughly are levels to beat before were really in the green to clear $100 as the market rebounds. ive drawn a path that can hopefully outline what the topping out proccess could look like as uvxy heads for 1:10 reverse split. normally we revisit the fib bands when price comes off overbought, but im still bullish while were above mon-wed lows targeting 66.66

CARDANO SHORT TRADEHello everyone! This is a short trade on the 5 minute time frame. As you can see on the candles, Cardano is making lower highs, looking more and more like a bearish pole or solid triple top. I think it is going back down to the support area as you can see from the FIB tool, before eventually reaching new highs on the bigger timeframes. I'm bullish on Cardano, but this is a simple trade. ENTRY: 0,3880 TP: 0,38327 SL: 0,39200 I'm always looking for input (good or bad) so please let me know what you think of this analysis. If you liked this and found this useful please leave a like!

Bitcoin Goes Bullish (Easy 333%+ Potential 10X Lev.)Bitcoin (XBTUSD) following in the footsteps of Dogecoin, Litecoin and soon Ethereum, is also very likely to go bullish. We have a nice but risky setup here. We can go beyond 333% on 10X Lev. Trade at your own risk. Leveraged trading is for expert only and can result in liquidation. Do your own research before trading. Use a stop-loss, risk management and all the tools available at your disposal to maximize potential gains and reduce potential loss. This is not financial advice. Namaste.

HOT - daily break soon? Keep in mind - market is probably overheated and will pull back soon...but I still see long trades with absolutely "no risk" as an option. I tracking short time frames for HOT, and try to find a entry, tight stop loss and with a little bit of luck HOT break the daily trend and get a big push upwards...that could lead to a daily break and a good entry point. HOT can move like crazy sometimes, and a good entry point with tight stop loss will give me a decent risk reward ration.

My Guide To Shorting Bitcoin.I am sharing my first idea and am very curious about the community's opinion and reaction. I am planning to short two possible 1-hour resistance levels. A downward ladder is created, as visualised by the red dots on the chart. My plan is to short the resistance level and create a new ladder point in this trend. I am choosing this point instead of a higher level, which is also a possibility, because this short will protect the leg created on the daily time frame. Which level I choose is yet to be determined. This depends on the risk I am willing and able to take. During my technical analysis, I only make use of horizontal-levels and trends. I never use any indicators. I work with tight stop-losses and high leverage so this trade is meant for scalping. Let me know what you think. I'm open for feedback and discussion. If something is unclear or you want to know more about my way of thinking, don't hesitate to send me a message. Greetings, BoerClaus. BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP
