The promise
They dangled the golden carrot, whispering sweet nothings into the ears of starry-eyed dreamers: “Invest in these micro-caps, and you'll become very rich, conservatively of course!” they crooned, with $ signs flashing.
Here’s the fairy tale they spun:
DNX: “It’ll make you rich. Conservatively targeting $10 per coin!”
DIONE: “Life changing tech and WE are very early! Rich is an understatement!”
wQUIL: “Get ready for wealth, conservatively hitting the moon!”
ZEPH: “A conservative path to riches with $1,000 per coin, no doubt!”
SPACE: “Realistically, it’ll soar to $1,000 per coin, so get on board before you miss this train!”
RIO: “Realistically, $30 per coin is just the start! Larry Fink will send our bags to the moon!”
TRIAS: “Realistically, $500 per coin is a conservative target!”
PYR: “Together we're sending this gem to at least $50!”
VRA: “Realistic target is $1 per coin but once there, many will FOMO and we will quickly soar to at least $3 per coin! Don’t you dare doubt it! Join the waitlist for our $1 boat party!"
AZERO: “Realistically, $20 per coin, so don’t miss the boat!"
SMH: “It’s your ticket to riches. conservatively, of course!”
The reality
The curtain fell, and the stage collapsed. Everyone who invested in the above shi*coins are just…uh, patient geniuses, holding onto dust, buying more, shillin' harder, and getting obliterated repeatedly. A cabal of hype-masters, syncing their shills like a bad boy band, got thousands of gullible newbies wrecked.
Here’s the brutal, soul-crushing results:
DNX at -94% from ATH, with each dead-cat bounce crashing at least -80% from their peaks.
DIONE at -92% from ATH, with dead-cat bounces offering false hope before sinking to -80% from each one of them.
wQUIL at -93% from ATH, with dead-cat bounces teasing recovery, only to rugpull shamelessly to -80% losses multiple times. Do the math on holders x volume and you’ll quickly realize just how broke most of it's shillers actually are.
ZEPH was obliterated with -98% from ATH, dead-cat bounces mocking investors, and rugpulled into oblivion.
SPACE devastated with -99% from ATH, dead-cat bounces flickering like dying stars, and rugpulled to -90% losses multiple times.
RIO hammered with -92% from ATH, dead-cat bounces luring newbies into a micro-cap trap, now at -80% losses from the latest peak, with “billions by 2024/25” aging like milk.
TRIAS smashed with a -92% from ATH, dead-cat bounces gasping for air, liquidity so thin you’d need a microscope to find it.
VRA annihilated with -98% from ATH, dead-cat bounces taunting the faithful, liquidity evaporated, with OG cabal leader Mando driving the final nail in the coffin in 2023 while claiming: “major buys are happening” [spoiler: his cabal spoofed orders, and it crashed the next day]
PYR crushed with -97% from ATH, dead-cat bounces, liquidity gone, with the cabal sync-shilling it to death roughly 1'ish years ago.
AZERO decimated with -95% from ATH, dead-cat bounces teasing a comeback, only to tank another -90% after a 100'ish % upswing.
SMH is a shameless down-only rugpull since inception.
What do all these coins have in common?
- They’re micro-cap trainwrecks, hyped by the same sleazy cabal over and over again, preying on the naive, the greedy, and the hopelessly delusional. Rugpulls disguised as moonshots, leaving investors holding bags of digital breadcrumbs.
Nano and micro cap investors aren’t "just" on a -80% loss. They’ve been bled dry on every single buy order placed over the last two years. Every so-called “dip” and every “generational entry” crushed into dust. This isn’t a single catastrophic drop. It’s death by a thousand cuts. A relentless, slow-motion wreck where the only ones making money were the insiders dumping on their exit liquidity the entire way down.
The clowns shilling these scams?
- So mind-numbingly retarded, they’ve even managed to lose money themselves -- just slightly less than the followers they led straight into financial ruin, because they hedge with the overpriced scam services they sell, and/or with the even lower market cap unknown nano-banano caps they relentlessly shilled. And that’s why they never stop. They’ll be back, shillin' more low-liquidity garbage, promising it’s just the beginning, pumping a few multiples from their entries so they can try to cash out while their followers can’t, and resetting the cycle until they eventually burn out, accept failure, and start over with a fresh account and a new scam "empire"
It’s always the same formula:
1️⃣ Promise an absurd market cap.
2️⃣ Hype it into a frenzy.
3️⃣ Dump it on their own followers.
4️⃣ Repeat with a new “gem”
And somehow, many still fall for it. It’s also a fact that many of their followers aren’t even real -- just paid bot packages designed to create the illusion of credibility and influence.
And the ones who are real?
- Some of the poorest investors in this space, navigating CX with portfolios as small as $30, or even less. These are desperate people from third-world countries, constantly chasing giveaways, “opportunities” or just crumbs from the very scammers who exploit them.
And the worst part?
- These frauds will pretend to be generous, tossing out the occasional $100 “gift” to buy loyalty, reinforcing the illusion that they’re “giving back” when, in reality, they’re just running a highly profitable human farm of exit liquidity.
Stop the Madness. Chasing such rugpulls isn’t a dream. It’s a nightmare. Save your sanity, your money, and your dignity. The only thing these coins are “conservatively” making you is poorer.
I had to witness all of it. If I wanted to keep gaining reach, to get more people out of a hole they would never escape without the right insight, the click they needed in their mind and life, i had no choice but to see it firsthand on a daily basis. It wasn’t easy. It isn’t easy. I’ve read countless replies on this platform from people who lost everything -- their money, their homes, their families. Some even claimed they were ready to end their lives, while the cabal of deception carried on as if these people didn’t exist.
And I’ve noticed something chilling. A number of those people are gone. No more posts. No more replies. Nothing. And do you really think 100% of them just “left” and nothing else?
- No. Some of them left this world for good.
Yes, they were mentally weak, but let’s be brutally honest: this space is designed to prey on the weak. The cabal operates with zero remorse, zero accountability, and zero consequences, leaving behind a graveyard of shattered dreams and lost souls.
So, no. This isn’t just “the game”
It’s something far darker. And there are days when it’s easier to just look away -- to keep traveling, living, building, investing, writing, exercising…doing anything but engaging with this cesspool.
But then, i remember. I remember the messages from people who got their breakthrough because they listened. The ones who stepped out of the cycle, who escaped what they thought was impossible. And I realize, if I can make even the smallest difference, if i can help pull even a few people out of the abyss, then it’s still worth it.
That’s the only reason I’m still here.
Every time you catch yourself thinking: "Wow, everyone’s a genius these days" you have to sell.
If the prices aren’t exactly where you want them, you sell anyway -- lock in the profit you can, and then use that capital to DCA when there's blood on the streets.
Stick with this approach over time, and you’ll win. It’s the ultimate game-changer, yet you don’t even need TA expertise to succeed. Just avoid behaving like a sheep and you're winning.
Fun fact: You’ve said it to yourself at every single top.
Never chase.
Find > Wait > Play > Profit > Repeat.
1) Find the opportunity on the charts and set alerts near key levels. MOs if scalps, LTF, and MTF plays. LOs if HTF semi-optimal/optimal** plays.
**🗒️: There's no optimal opportunities if confirmations aren't found starting on Weekly or higher timeframe, and it has to be a high trading volume asset rather than mid or small caps.
If your 🗝️ level is taken on a ⚡️ wick across the board, pay attention to MTFs close. If there's no candle bodies past your level the move was just SL/liquidity hunting and it will most likely reverse aggressively, so you can enter [or re-enter] following your initial plan.
You must master the understanding of which key levels are most powerful and which ones are less, and no...this isn't just about finding FVGs.
On altcoins, if there's MTF candle bodies closing past your level, it is broken. So, don't chase a reversal as your level is "dead" and you're just gambling/hoping. Find the next 🗝️ levels instead and wait for them to hit.
By the time you've entered your position you should already know where the next opportunities sit at, and have clear TP levels instead of "i hope it goes on my direction forever" as you can't become consistently profitable with this mindset. If you find an entry but you can't find clear liquidity levels for profit taking the inside MTF/HTF range, avoid it or momentum trade, trailing stop loss. Think moves ahead.
Stop refusing being wrong. Embrace it. Being wrong is how you can optimize your game, be it in trading or anything else in life.
2) Wait for price to arrive to your level. Some will hit tomorrow. Some will hit next week. Some will hit next month. Some will hit in 6 months. Some will never hit. Never chase.
3) Play without greed, and with a well structured plan for every trade.
4) Profit + manage your positions for guaranteed gains.
5) Repeat.
Outperform the herd as they're all proudly dumb AF.
⚠️ VOLUME ⚠️
The higher the volume(24H), the better the probability of you succeeding with your chosen setup. Trading bots run the markets, and ~80% of all trading volume is generated by bots that institutions own. It's our job to understand how they are programmed to ride the wave alongside them.
If you use MEXC, you can use this link to find the top trading volume coins 👉 https://t.co/5pb3ZFGx7U
Or, if you want to find a specific coin and you don't use MEXC, go on CoinMarketCap> Search up your coin > click on perpetual (in between spot and futures). This will then tell you the current volume of your chosen coin for each centralised exchange.
CMC 👉 https://t.co/iuWsss6mzE
I tend to trade coins >30M volume, but if you find a clean setup that hits your requirements or is (semi)optimal and has very low volume (1M - 10M), then don't be afraid to take the trade.
That is the same fear that will ruin you in the long run.
If the volume is low, then you can decide whether you want to risk less. Volume constantly changes and tends to increase as it approaches HTF key levels.
The size of the candle body is very important too, as it will tell you if the setup has significant volume. You want to look out for the candles that show a bigger candle body with small wicks. However, wicks can be printed in a very short amount of time, hence why it can be seen as manipulation, so concentrate on the candle bodies.
I know some people still trade tiny candle bodies, so you can decide whether you like trading them or not.
The thicker the body, the more volume it holds.
The higher the TF, the more likely PA will reverse at that level, as there is higher trading volume. A 1W candle represents more volume than a 1D candle and a 1D candle represents more volume than a 4H candle, leading to fewer false signals.
A LTF candle body does not hold the same volume as a HTF candle body.
Institutional trading volume will be shown on the HTF candle bodies. That is where MMs focus, as the liquidity remains in those bodies. The same liquidity that will convert their assets into cash. You need to play alongside the 🐳's if you want to be profitable.
Also, watch the top 100 coins with high trading volume (typically dino coins). If most of them haven't hit their HTF key optimal levels, then the bottom for alts probably isn't in yet. When most have taken their HTF liquidity, the accumulation/distribution phase is probably nearly done. Don't get stuck on the alts with lower trading volume, as those alts will not be the reason for a HTF reversal.
MoneyTaur - "The reversal is likely to happen when at least 75% of the highest trading volume coins reach their HTF 🔑 levels"
Also, if many high trading volume altcoins are breaking out at the same time, it may not be a good idea to short or long levels, as you will be fighting against a strong trend.
Don't be afraid to trade on the weekends. Yes, there is lower volume, but this allows the moves to happen much faster. If you know where to enter and to place your SL, with your targets already set, then there is nothing to worry about and you'll be profitable. There is also a higher probability of scam wicks causing many to be stopped or liquidated, but with a proper strategy, you should be able to avoid those situations.
Volume Spread Analysis (VSA)
VSA is when you study PA with its corresponding volume, as volume helps to validate PA or to identify divergences by using the spread of a candle body and the size of the volume. For example, big movements require high volume and small movements require low volume. On your chosen TF, check the average volume size for a widespread or narrow spread candlestick in historic PA and compare with the candlesticks that you see today.
Traders can track down the smart money movements by using VSA. Price can be manipulated, but volume can't.
When there are big movements with low volume and small movements with high volume, this shows us a divergence and we should pay attention to what is going on in the current market. This tends to happen at reversals.
Big institutions will cover up such divergences by releasing bearish news in big downtrends and bullish news in big uptrends.
It takes effort for the market to rise and to fall and the volume should represent a high/average volume bar to validate such movements.
When using VSA, identify where you are in the trend. Are you in the middle of a trend where you can experience minor pullbacks in the longer-term trend? Or has the market been trending for some time and you're at a possible turning point, which can lead to a major reversal?
Spread is the difference between the opening and closing of the price (candle body). Candles can have a narrow spread (small candle body) or a wide spread (large candle body).
Volume is the frequency of transactions of the price change during a specified period (selected TF). Bearish volume will be marked in red, showing bearish activity and bullish volume will be marked in green, showing bullish activity and the volume action can be low or high.
This gives four possible scenarios:
▫️ Wide Spread + High Volume
▫️ Wide Spread + Low Volume (divergence)
▫️ Narrow Spread + Low Volume
▫️ Narrow Spread + High Volume (divergence)
These scenarios can help us interpret whether to approve or disapprove a setup. However, it should never be used alone and you should always seek to combine such tactics with other strong confluences.
If we have widespread candlesticks and high volume (increasing volume), then we can assume a continuation in the direction of the current trend.
If we have widespread candlesticks and low volume (decreasing volume), then we can assume a reversal is due, going against the direction of the current trend.
If we have a narrow spread candlestick and low volume, this is expected as there aren't big price movements (the market is ranging), then we can assume PA will continue or reverse. With other confluences (key level, fibs and MS), you can better judge whether the price will reverse or continue higher.
If we have a narrow spread candlestick and high volume (increased volume), then we can assume a reversal is due, going against the direction of the current trend. This signal tells us that the market is weakening and this signal tends to develop at the top of a bullish trend or the bottom of a bearish trend (More demand than supply or vice versa).
High volume is only expected in widespread candles, so when it happens in a narrow spread candle, we can assume something is going on in the market (high activity 🐳). One side of the market is aggressively attacking the other (attackers are successfully absorbing).
At supply and demand on the HTF, you will most likely see widespread candlesticks with high volume shortly after the reversal, as we will start to see continuation of bearish/bullish candlesticks going in the same direction.
Short-term trade setup (uptrend scenario)📈
If we are approaching a key level for a short/sell and we have widespread candlesticks going towards the key level with increasing (high) volume, that would be a -1 confluence to invalidate your short setup, but still take profits. Sign of strength.
If we are approaching a key level for a short/sell and we have widespread candlesticks going towards the key level with decreasing (low) volume, that would be a +1 confluence to validate your short setup and take profits (reversal). Sign of weakness.
If we are approaching a key level for a short/sell and we have narrow spread candlesticks going towards the key level with decreasing (low) volume, that wouldn't be a +1 or -1 confluence as the PA could continue or reverse. Use other strong confluences (Key levels, MS, Fibs) to judge whether the price will continue or reverse. If you have strong confluence, then it could be enough to reverse the PA.
If we are approaching a key level for a short/sell and we have a narrow spread candlestick going towards the key level with increasing (high) volume, that would be a +1 confluence to validate your short setup and take profits heavily (major reversal incoming).
Examples are down below in the comment section 👇
(Nothing changes for the idea of a buy/long setup)
In a downtrend, a narrow spread candle with high volume is a major buy signal.
In an uptrend, a narrow spread candle with high volume is a major sell signal.

As some of you already know, i can play on high leverage fairly safely as i can refine my entries into an average R:R of at least 7. High leverage isn't dangerous. What's dangerous is going long or short without a plan and with massive SL's. Most do this because they're afraid of wicks, but the reality is that they can't read the game and anyone on an average 2R isn't a profitable trader, so if you see any self-proclaimed "successful trader" out there claiming he's profitable while most of his setups are 2R or less, well...he's not.
Below is one of the answers to "hidden liquidity" i so much talk about but don't really spoon-feed it to any of you. I do share it all on my charts, but due to lack of knowledge many just can't see it. Some of you decoded a lot of it already, while the majority wasn't able to so far.
This isn't everything, but it's one of the 🗝️ secrets to become consistently profitable in this game, and the higher the TF you find these levels at, the more powerful it is, thus your probability to enter a position and succeed being much higher Vs if you find these levels on micro TFs. This doesn't mean you should just avoid micro TFs, because even though your success rate will drop, you will have the opportunity for many more trades in a short period of time Vs if you find the levels on HTFs, and if you master this craft you can be very profitable every single week, but i would recommend you start from HTFs, and then MTFs, and then LTFs, and only then micro TFs.
🗒️ FVG's matter nothing if there's no liquidity behind them, and there's a reason why i posted this couple months ago: https://t.co/Mp19fWbPuh

📺Ep.002: Finding Key Levels of Liquidity 💧
(drop your requests below, i'm writing them all down and noting which topics come up the most)
🧵Full @Moneytaur_ Fibonacci Guide
The most important Fibs:
Retracements: 0.5 (EQ), 0.618 (GP), 0.705, 0.786
Neg. Fibs: -0.5, -0.618, (-0.786, -1, -1.5, -1.618 etc.)
Extensions: 1.618
How to draw Fibs?
Retracements:
Downtrend: SH to SL
Uptrend: SL to SH
+Using the wicks not the bodies
Neg. Fibs: Impulsive Moves
Extensions: Corrective Moves
Only use Untested/Ignored Fibs:
1.Untested = Untouched Fib
2.Ignored Fib = PA ignored Fib with a FVG
Overlapping Fibs:
The more Fibs from different Swings overlap the more powerful the Level. In confluence with the 4D OB and SFP it became a decent Long opportunity on BTC
Importance of EQ
The EQ of Orderblock, Breakerblock, FVG can be used as Key Liquidity (KL)
Or taken into consideration for your entry (usually EQ of OB/BB) and stop placement (EQ of FVG, EQ of nearby OB/BB).
+Partial BB valid if EQ untouched
Profit Taking/Stop Management
Furthermore the EQ can be used for trailing your Stop and Taking Profits:
MT: "Reach 0.5 > TP + SL up, or SL2BE, or just SL up, or full exit." =>0.5 of the previous swing
>If Price doesn't surpass EQ after taking Liquidity a return to the zone becomes probable
>Stop Loss can be trailed behind EQ
The zone between 0.618 and 0.705 can be used as TP2, ideally in confluence with Liquidity(OB, BB, SFP, GAPs)
Premium/Discount:
Price > EQ Premium: Favours Shorts
Price < EQ Discount: Favours Longs
Buy/Sell Programm Confirmation:
Buy Programm: PA surpasses EQ upwards
Sell Programm: PA surpasses EQ downwards

Refining Into Wicks
1D doesn't fit => Refine into 4H wick
Refining into even lower TFs is possible.
My theory is that wicks show areas of strong buying or selling pressure.
By analyzing multiple wicks, we can approximate the areas where strong selling pressure might still be resting.
It’s like refining for the untouched part of a wick, similar to Partial Breaker Blocks.
+SFPs to collect stopps

📺 Ep.003: Choosing the Right Level 💭
(quick editor's note: when it mentions "confluence with majors", that includes things like USDT.D, TOTAL1,2,3, ETH/BTC, ETH, BTC.D, etc. not just BTC)
@cz_binance Hi CZ, i have had an account with binanceUS for several years and someone just hacked into my account and liquidated my account in one day. I have reached out to your customer service but they said they are unable to help me recover my account.
I have had cash and USDT in the account and someone liquidated it without any transferring out of the wallet. Is there any solution to this at all? I have lost trust in Binance and hope to continue to be your client but if this is the solution then i cant work binance again.
