History is wise teacher, but often neglected.
"Over the past two years, every single high time frame higher low has been formed on a series of lower lows that have swept all the liquidity before moving higher. In three instances out of four, the dynamics have shown a clear 3-drive pattern."

Just a small tip, stop focusing on others, what they did, what they said, what they bought. Why do you even care?
Judging, envying, criticizing, comparing or tearing down others will not improve your performance. In fact it will just demonstrate you have a looser mentality.
If you to want to be a winner just spend time to master your craft, improve yourself in any field and stay true to your goals, while avoiding any distractions.
Stay focused and be a winner!
$ZEC TP ✅
No matter what the market does, we’ll keep doing our job.
This was a great chart and a clean manipulation setup. Seeing your progress and development is what makes me proud.
When the market conditions improve, we’ll find even better opportunities and cleaner charts
What’s funny is that people labeled me a perma bear just because I was bearish for 8 months.
Now that I’ve flipped bullish after $BTC retraced from 126K to 59K, people seem surprised that I’m not like the other accounts on this app.
I’m here to make money, not defend a narrative. When the market changes, I change. I flip when necessary.
I guess some of you thought calling the top was just a fluke or a lucky guess. And when I catch the move to 160K, I’m sure some of you will call that luck too.

As someone who shorted 125 before a few days before 10/10 - having been extremely cautious for several weeks prior - and laid out my reasoning weeks in advance on public streams on YouTube...
The recent surge in pessimism now that BTC is trading around 60k does not surprise me tbh.
Some voices seem almost gleeful that their late bearish thesis has been “right” (what took you guys so long initially?)
Though I suspect many never actually traded it. Armchair trading is comfortable when you have a large following with a mega subscription service...cool
Putting the trade on is what matters and all I care about.
For what it’s worth... the lower BTC goes... the more attractive it becomes from an asymmetric upside perspective.
Much of the doom... I suspect... comes from those who held all the way down.
For those in cash... opportunity is ahead... even if there may be a few more storms to weather ? Time capitulation ?
Watch for signs of seller exhaustion... and perhaps the kind of jaw-dropping capitulation event many of us know all too well as far back as 2018...
For me... it makes sense to start thinking ahead about buying levels... and execution strategy.
I’ve never been interested in catching the exact bottom... nor am I a pure value investor...
Having aggressively shorted the market down from the November 2021 highs... I wasn’t interested in catching the exact bottom, could argue I was rather too defensive at the lows (I was in the recession camp - lesson learnt - dont get too caught up in the macro... but we all get it wrong once in a while and learn from it.
I may be slightly late again - hopefully not, but probably and I'm fine with that... just as I was in 2023 when I bought back in around 30k... despite having traded the 15k to 30k range for the best part of nine months and out performed btc during that period.
The biggest gains come from upside trends... momentum, the meat of the move.
Embrace the downside... if it continues.... thats future opportunity.
And eventually... the next cycle begins...
$BTC, Feb low is key. period.
Daily closes above it : Good sign.
Weekly closes above it: I buy more
spot.
Monthly closes above it: I size up.
I bought more spot today at $60k after my first buy at $68k in March.
$HYPE The 70-75 range....
These were my observations from the last week or so, logged in my journal alongside recordings, screenshots, tape, flow recordings, and charts.
'From a DOM and orderflow perspective, this was no longer reading as clean initiative buying. It looked more like forced buy-side flow being absorbed.
Each push higher was likely triggering short-covering, adding market buy pressure, but the response on the ladder was poor. Price was no longer lifting efficiently. Passive sellers were reloading the offer and absorbing into the buy flow.
Sellers appeared to be waiting for the market to trade higher before distributing size. The push into 70-75 gave them the prices they needed, and from there the question was whether the bid could keep accepting the supply.
At the same time, spot remained heavy on sell delta, pointing to spot-side distribution, while perps continued driving price into the asks. That divergence made the move look increasingly fragile.
If the buy flow started to fade and those offers remained in control, the structure was vulnerable to a shift lower. Late buyers would be trapped, shorts had already covered, and the market would no longer have the same forced bid underneath it.
Sharing if anyone finds it useful... theres some decent info in there to pick apart...
Full TP on FET for me here.
Secured 3.2R with the partials. Trade was a 4.5R.
Very decent 32% drop in 2 days.
Super clean range deviation, standard setup. Sniper entry, zero drawdown.
Dinner time and weekend, so going just with the last part of the BTC short open.
Trade shared live with subs.
30-40K is giving me the same vibes as the 10-12K calls last cycle.
It became the consensus view, but it never happened.
So forgive me if I'm 10% early. I was about 10% early calling the top at 112K $BTC, and that still worked out in the end.
A lot of what I do today comes from mistakes I've made in the past. Mistakes that cost me a lot of money, mistakes I have no intention of repeating.
A lot of people criticize my trading style. They criticize the gradual TWAP entries. They criticize what they see as an "unreasonable" stop loss. The reality is that most of them simply don't understand the mathematics behind how I trade.
I use low leverage. I position myself accordingly and calculate the statistical probability of certain price levels being hit, using leverage as my invalidation point. I'm not a gambler, I'm a compounder.
I'm here to make money. I don't care about quick gains, and I don't care about the reckless trading people engage in for clicks and attention. I try to position myself the same way institutions and hedge funds do.
Slowly, gradually, with low leverage, and only when the RR is significantly in my favour.
I think a lot of people underestimate how much wealth can be built through compounding over a long period of time because they're constantly chasing fast gains.
The reality is that wealth is built over years, not weeks.
The longer you stay in the game, the more disciplined and patient you are, the more money tends to follow.
It's easy to develop a distorted perception of trading with the amount of crap you see on this app. People posting outrageous gains, bragging, and chasing engagement.
But they'll never show you the losses.
If that temporary ego boost gives you satisfaction, great. For me, not so much.
So, simply put, I'm here to make money, whether it's fast or slow.
If you don't like my passive approach, I couldn't care less. This is how the biggest players in the world operate. You can either position alongside them or against them.
I choose to play with them.
