Starting from today ! I will have X as my trading journal. Give or take I have been actively trading since May 2025 but I have been in the space since 2021. Learn alot & also fail a lot. Lets see where this journal will take me but lets find out together, shall we ?
GM Gang,
Hope we're all staying safe out there.
The best trade I made yesterday was simply closing my computer. When the market isn't giving you anything, don't force it. That's usually when you end up paying the highest price.
Price has now reached the 66kβ64k area I mentioned in my previous post. I do think we're due for a relief bounce as we've tagged the 8WC VAL and 8WC POC.
These are crucial levels. Hold them and we could see a decent bounce. Lose them and we may be in for more red days ahead.
Ideally, I want to see a clear LTF BOS before getting bullish. If that happens, my target for a bounce would be the 8WC VAH and the nPOC around 71.5k.
Stay patient. Let the market confirm before committing. π
GM Tradooorrrs,
My bias was completely wrong on the bounce. I was leaning bullish based on Spot CVD, got stopped out at BE on the ETH long, and didn't catch any of the shorts either.
Yesterday was brutal with all the bearish news hitting the market.
I don't trade based on news, but it's clear a lot of market participants do.
We've now tagged the April VAL on both TPO and Volume Profile and are seeing a decent reaction off the LVN. Given the size of the pullback, I still believe we're due for a technical bounce from these levels.
Levels I'm watching:
70kβ71k β Current trading range
71.7kβ72.6k β April VAL
76.8kβ77.3k β May nPOC
64k β February nVAL
For now, I'm looking for confirmation rather than trying to catch a falling knife. Let the market show its hand first.
Stay safe out there fam. ππ

Hope you all had a great weekend.
Shoutout to @Frampo88 for the template β pretty much copied and pasted his layout for this one π
Seems like some of us didn't take the weekend off.
Been monitoring the heatmap this morning and there's a juicy cluster of liquidations sitting right above us.
Funny thing is, everyone seems to be expecting a dump right now...
When the majority leans one way, the market has a habit of doing the opposite.
Keep an eye on those highs. π
Weekend prep starts now!
A complete Market Profile has two tails.
A buying tail at the low - aggressive buyers defended that extreme.
A selling tail at the high - aggressive sellers rejected that extreme.
When both are present the profile is balanced. The move is clean.
But most profiles are not balanced.
Find the missing tail. That is the unfinished business the market needs to resolve.
No buying tail β the low has no defence. Watch for a sweep.
No selling tail β the high has no rejection. Watch for a test.
Set your alerts there.
Seeing a cluster on the heatmap is not enough!
Anyone can see a level.
The edge is knowing if the liquidity there is real and reading who wins when price arrives.
Orderbook Profile β the cluster.
Orderbook β real or spoofed.
DOM β live battle at the level.
Full aggregation across every exchange.
That is unified orderflow.
That is MMT.

Market was absolutely brutal during yesterdayβs session. We saw a sweep of the lows that formed an SFP before price ripped higher, liquidating late shorts who chased the breakdown.
OI continues to trend lower alongside both Net Longs and Net Shorts, which tells me positions are being closed on both sides. Longs are reducing exposure, while shorts are taking profits and closing out. Capital is leaving the market rather than new positions being added.
This decline in participation is pretty common heading into the weekend. Conviction from both bulls and bears is fading, which often leads to consolidation and choppy price action β exactly what we're seeing right now.
BUT...
Spot CVD continues to buy every meaningful dip, which is something I can't ignore. Because of that, I lean toward this consolidation eventually resolving to the upside, especially with those previous highs sitting just above us acting as a magnet.
Key levels I'm watching:
75k β nPOC / wVWAP
76k β GP Zone / VAH
Happy weekend, fam π»π
