XRP spent the morning leaning on the EMAs, now it's pushing again with 1.334 as the nearer target. OI up 2.8% says new money is behind it.

1.282 and the fresh longs are stuck.

$BTC ETF money is back, $676M through Blackrock. Price still under the EMA 20 though. Needs to close above it on the daily.

$ZEC has been chopping in this 1185 to 1283 band for days and the EMAs keep grinding higher through it. Longs got a discord mention before the move. 1250 / 1283 / wrong under 1185.

$GRAM shorts are stacking under every average I track, and 1.208 is the nearest thing standing between them and 1.19. 1.246 and I'm wrong.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

$NIL OI up 5.2% with volume roughly 2.7x, so this is fresh money. First target 0.0956, wrong under 0.0882.

Averages are all rising under it, and I trust that for now.

I post these stack reads a few times a week, entries and exits with the levels attached. Follow along if that's useful to your own swing trades.

Standard advice says pick one timeframe and stay on it. I do the opposite, and the 20/50/200 stack on two timeframes is the reason.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

The mistake is trading the 4h signal when the daily stack disagrees. Those trades look clean on the lower chart and fail on the higher one. I check the daily first, every time, before I touch a level.

$LIGHT shorts piling into a bounce that hasn't come yet. 0.317 is where I'd admit I read it wrong.

Price above the EMA 200, still under the 20 and 50.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

$VVV stoch k at 7.9 is the surprise. Price on the EMA 50, those 20 and 200 still overhead. 24.45 gives out and I stop bothering.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

$BIRB shorts keep adding into a market with nothing to sell to. Price above the EMA 200, below the 20 and 50, and I need those two to roll over before I stop worrying about a squeeze.

Wrong above 0.109 / 0.0715 now.

What did you do last time you saw OI up 25.6% on a chart like

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

$GRASS spent most of its time near 0.6486 and couldn't reclaim it. Stoch on the readout at 76.7 says the bounce is done. 0.626 is where the trapped longs pay.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

JTO short idea came through the discord I'm in, still pinned if you want it. 0.435 / 0.427 against 0.45 wrong, and I'm flat, order never filled. OI rising while volume sits at 0.78x is what I'd have skipped on the headline.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

$MET short squeeze risk into 0.32 is what I keep second-guessing. How do you all size for a reclaim you can't see coming?

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

$LDO keeps getting sold into the same spot it bounced from earlier. 0.397 / 0.411 / wrong under 0.368

Longs into averages that are still falling rarely lasts.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

Most people log the entry and the exit and skip the reasoning. The reasoning is the only line that ever taught me anything, and it's the one almost nobody writes down.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

A notebook with one line per trade, then a weekly hour with the same notebook, compounds faster than any indicator I've tested.

[Diego Trades @diego_swings]

Bad trades go in the same notebook, written the same day. A loss I can name is a lesson. A loss I skip logging just becomes a habit.
