The Fear and The Greed- Tomorow will be the 365th day in this bearmarket.
- From now there will not be much winners or losers because in this situation, there's fear and doubts in both sides.
- A little resume of this yearly journey :
- Luna Rekt
- 3AC Rekt
- Voyager Rekt
- FTX Rekt
- and much more smaller entities like Zipmex etc..
- Despite all FUDS, the situation could be worst than where we are now. we have to remember in 2017, we went from 20k to 3k.
- that said in 2017 "Cryptomania" was nothing compared to 2020, now we are more close from Cryptos adoption and CDBC.
- in 2017 the market was still immature and dubious, in 2020 big players entered the game.
- So what happened in 2022 with a more mature market ?
- What we need to remember from 2021-2022 is that bad actors in Cryptos are not here to build the system but to greed on it.
- They all overleveraged their positions thinking only about their own pockets and caused pain to millions of their customers.
- Some created their own thin air tokens as FTT and shorted their own projects with high leverages using collateral loans ( FTX ).
- They were all selfish, and didn't even think about how many poor families life they destroyed.
- Peoples may forget what they did with time, but Karma will not.
- Cryptos are here to stay, but the future is more bright without those greedy peoples.
- Buy BTC.
- Store in Ledger, Trezor or Paper Wallet.
- Hodl BTC.
- Do good things around you and good things will back to you.

Scalping Way- i do not scalp but if u want to play, you need to level up some basics :
- Price Action
- Price Range
- Divergences
- Play Breakout / Play the Support
- Stop Loss
- Take Profits
- Everything is comprehensive in Graphic.
- i used H4 timeframe
- Log Chart.
- MACD indicator only. ( logarithmic one ).
- if you want to be a Master Scalper, you need to be very rigorous. Zero sentiments.
- Hope it helps.

Humans are not perfect- Very Basically SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) measures the price bought versus price sold. ( but it's more complex than that )
- Negative SOPR typically means people are selling for a loss. ( red dotted Lines columns )
- Positive SOPR typically means people are selling for a win. ( Blue dotted Lines colums )
- So what we can notice and deduct from this graph ?
- Simply that we are not perfect.
- The Fear and The Greed.
- We scare when the price goes up too much.
- We fear when the price goes down too much.
- Most of the time we sell to early.
- Most of the time we sell when it's time to buy.

Trading is Repeating- Not sure that we already finished Wave 1.
- What we know is : " BTC went straight up for 4 weeks ".
- the safest way for now if you missed the last bottom is to watch and wait.
- At one point TheKing have to retrace, so be patient.
- if BTC Retrace now :
- Set your Fibo to -61.8% Retracement, around 18,500$
- Charge bag at the good time.
- if BTC push more :
- Wait for a retrace and recalculate your -61.8%.
- Keep it easy and Stay Safe!

Total Market View- Yes. BTC fell under 300MA for the first time in 2022.
- No. Total Market Didn't Fall under 300MA in 2022.
- BTC Dominance was 100% in 2013-2017.
- BTC Dominance Top was 70% in 2017-2020.
- BTC Dominance Top was 50% in 2020-2022.

Drawing Bitcoin- Not a price speculation.
- Not a bottom Confirmation.
- No need to speak too much because everything is on chart.
- Understand this analysis.
- Zoom in / Zoom out.
- Follow the Lines and Circles.
- Look for potentials breakout zones.
- Aberrations are frequent in a turbulent market.
- Supports always turn to be Resistances and vice versa.

Shopping Altcoins- in this post i will list a number of projects that seems interesting (to me) for the next bull run.
- i will set a potential worst case bottom price for every tokens/coins considering another BTC dip.
- i will just keep things simple and set a potential ”Entry Price” and describe good and bad reasons in few simple words.
- Remember that you have to do your own diligence before considering to invest in a project.
- Remember that cryptos are very dangerous, everything can happen and you may lose all your invest.
- invest only what you don't need for living !
- it's only your own decision to set an higher entry price if markets turn green.
- You don't want to buy when peoples are happy because everything is mooning!
- You want to buy before retailers and You want to sell before them !!
”The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets”
i will start with my one of my favorite project :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polkadot (DOT)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Good : Decentralized, Huge Ecosystem, Cross chain Tech, developer activity, SEC umbrella.
- The Bad : lack of promotion, concurrence, on chain attacks, elitist governance, unlimited supplies.
- Entry Price : 4.30$ish
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- if you want me to check and add a project, just comment down below.
- if i think this project is not consistent. i won't add it.
- not meaning your favorite project is bad, just meaning i have a lack of knowledge on it.
- i will update this post over time.

Cryptos are here to stay- Don't follow the price but follow the innovation.
- in 2018 Crypto market reached $750 Billions, in 2020 it reached $3 Trillions.
- of course cryptos are still nothing if u compare markets with the actual netted value of derivatives. $600 Trillions.
- if u followed some recent news about IRS :
- The Passage of the Inflation Reduction Act signals the hiring of 87,000 IRS agents and the bill specifically calls out crypto assets.
- $80 Billion of funding is allocated to the IRS budget over the next 10 years, signifying a 75% increase on a yearly basis.
So are you thinking govs will hire more agents to tax a dying system. think about it.
- According to Fibo the next bullrun will lead Crypto Markets around $10 Trillions.
- Be ready for it but be ready also for taxes and regulations.
Feel free to comments!

Bitcoin Stay Calm- i know some of my fellows traders went Long few days ago and i want to congratulate them !
- So if u went in around 19k+, you had already a great deal.
- Now if you didn't board the first train. i suggest you to wait.
- i don't show any indicators to keep the chart clean.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trading Parts
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TP1 : 22,500

Bitcoin warm up- i know some peoples are still waiting for 15k or 10k.
- in 2018-19, some of my friends were waiting BTC to dip $1000 when BTC was around 3000$, they are still waiting right now.
- Used correctly, Bollinger Band is a powerful indicator.
- you need to look closely at the Weekly BB contraction.
- When BB compress, it's a sign of volatility returns.
- the lower BB reached 17k+ ( was around 15.5k few weeks ago )
- The lowest BTC dip was $17,580
- BTC is evolving in a flat rectangle between 17,5k and 25k, the same situation happened in 2018-2019, it's called " Consolidation ".
- i can only suggest you to DCA buy instead of missing the train.
- it's better to take the risk to go in between 17k5-19.5k, than wait for a price that you won't never see again.

The art of trading- Spotting Divergences is a good way to be prepared for a potential trend reversal.
- Many peoples are using RSI in a wrong way, as fix point indicator (oversold or overbought).
- in reality RSI is a "Momentum indicator". Point to Point.
- Divergences most of the time are not enough to enter a position but help you to have more nice cards in your hands.
- They can be combined with Trend Lines, Supports/Resistances, pivots, MAs/EMAs and much more indicators.
- More information you get on a trend, more is helpful to be accurate.
- the reverse of the medal is using too many indicators at the same time can make you confuse and doubt.
- Trading is an art but patience a virtue.

TheKing Moon or Mars - Everything is in graph.
- Everything is based on Fibonacci (extensions and retracements).
- This scenario is likely to fail, so don't take it as a financial advice.
- This is just a scenario nothing more, nothing less.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Take also in consideration, this scenario is only based on two basic reasoning situations :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/ The Bearmarket :
- The real bearmarket started from April 2021 (First ATH)
- The Second ATH (November 2021) was just a fake, a fomo created by people's witch missed the first train.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2/ The Brrrrrr Machine :
- if they start to brrrrrrr ( UK just started ), more will follow.
- this scenario could happen more fast than we think.
- BTC was created to fight inflation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Feel free to add your comments and ideas.
- Sometimes, it's better to keep silent than speak without thinking.
- Take it easy.

Scalping H4 ( for fun )- impossible to Scalp following only BTC right now.
- We need to follow Nasdaq + TheKing.
-------------------------------------------
TP : 20,160
SL : 17,950

Feel free to comment and add your view.
This is for fun, not an advise!

TheKing What's Next- TradingView distorted again my post. here a clear image :
- We need to compare BTC movements with The Wyckoff Method and we will get a more clear view.
- We are in a long corridor and it can take time before a new Bull Cycle as big hands are waiting for retailers to give up.
- i published in July a chart indicating a potential bottom around 17500$. here :
- i am clearly not convinced yet that BTC will make a fast wick to 15,000$, and i forgot already about 10k.
- Bollinger Band is one of my favorite indicator on Weekly TF to try predict potentials bounces.
- You can see clearly on the chart that BB bottomed around 12,600$ and right now growed to 15,500$.
Zoom in :
- So of course like always, everything can happen as economy is weak, but my work is TA, and not FA news.
- A wick to 15,000$ is still possible but clearly uncertain, all i can tell you is if this happens, be ready to charge your bag.

TheKing CME vs Exchanges- i remember one of my best friends asked me in 2018 if it was good to buy Bitcoin around 4000$.. around bottom, i answered nothing, i just told him life is like a computer, it's like 01010101. You just take a decision then u have 50% chance to be correct and 50% chance to be wrong.
- So he had like 50k Euros at that time and he decided to buy a small studio because it was more a " Secure investment ", if he bought BTC by that time he would have 12.5+ BTC for last 2021 bullrun and could sell for 600,000++ Euros after 2 years ( if he sold btc around 50k$). Right now his studio's prices didn't move up or down.
so that short story is true, i didn't dream it. i just posted it to explain something very important :
- more you invest in something safe more the return will be poor.
- more you invest in something dangerous more the return will be good.
This simple law is valuable for everything, not only for cryptos. if you buy a studio in center NYC, you will pay it a lot but you will have more chance to be safe, the return will take many years of your short life. if you buy a studio in Cambodia, you will pay it much more cheaper and your invest could be transformed x5-x10 or going to zero.
let's back to the trend :
- it's important to check the difference between CME and Exchanges.
- When retails can buy 10$ in BTC in Coinbase, you need at least 10,000$ to invest in CME.
- i noticed this price difference from the last July BTC dip, when BTC dipped on exchanges the price was 17500$ ish. But on CME price bottomed around 18500$ ish and few day ago from now made a kind of double bottom tap.
- So to come back to my friend story, do you follow retailers or big hands ?
- i will post in comments the next important CME GAPs that BTC have to take back in future.

Theking Following Nasdaq ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Quick update. the chart is speaking by itself.
- this a 1W TF analyze but if u go smaller TF, u will shock to see how BTC is linked to Nasdaq.
- BTC is simply cloning Nasdaq 100% from 8 November 2021.
- This happened already on 17 Feb 2020 when Covid knocked our doors.
- Those dips moves can be kind of "over pressured", i means by that : if Nasdaq loses 5%, BTC could lose 20%, Altcoins will cry -50%++. just the normal way.
- Just follow Nasdaq could be a smart way, TheKing is still young, and for now US100 "mastodon" acts as a World termometer.
- i will link in comments my older analyzes on Nasdaq. this will help to define a possible bottom.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Tr4Ding and Stay S4fe !
TheKing unbreakable- This situation was identical in 2020. When people's saw the death of the king, and when the dip was followed with a boom.
- i see only opportunites for new comers and smart money in this dip.
- i won't explain much about my graph, it speaks by itself ( Check RSI )
- i will later post an update for this knife.
- Don't fall in USDT like we falled in USD after wars. the real pain will be when u wake up and buy your croissant at 10$ in the morning.
- Check my Nasdaq analyze there because everything his linked :
