@studentoffew Mate don’t waste your time arguing with a chihuahua…that already says it all. You do a great work and people know it , that is what matters💪🏼
@IamZeroIka and I are going live again today (21:00 CET.)
I just want to say we genuinely appreciated last week’s session. The response, the engagement, the messages afterwards… it honestly meant a lot to us.🙏
We didn’t plan it to be anything crazy. Just two traders sharing how we see things. The fact that it resonated the way it did is truly special.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, asked questions, supported, or even just listened quietly in the background.
And thank you to those who continue to rock with us consistently.
So... Let’s run it back tonight. 😁
- Notion 2.0, 2026 plans -
Alright guys, here’s a sneak peek at what the educational material inside Notion has become and what the plans are for this year.
Over the past 2 years, I’ve written extensively.
The result? A complete trading course, structured and accessible even if you’re starting from zero.
We’re now talking about 1,700+ pages of PDFs covering everything from basic to advanced concepts.
From market structure to Wyckoff, from AMT to SMC not just through written material, but also supported by in-depth video content.
It’s truly a comprehensive learning path.
And this year, it’s going to be expanded even further with new content across multiple areas:
- Technical: time cycles, execution models, deeper operational frameworks.
- Fundamental: with a strong focus on traditional finance.
- Psychological: new practical guides and tools designed to help you stay calm, build discipline, and develop the right mindset.
On top of that, there will also be live training sessions to make the experience even more interactive and dynamic.
If you combine all of this with weekly and bi-weekly market analysis, video updates, and a tight-knit, growth-oriented community… what you get is not just a course, but a high-level learning experience.
A special thank you to @studentoffew of course not only for expanding the Notion with his educational videos, but for actively contributing with updates and analysis that are bringing real value to all members.
If you’re looking for a structured growth path, one designed to guide you step by step, even if you’re starting from scratch.. this is exactly what you need.
👁️In case you want to explore more and take your journey seriously (even for the years to come) with a solid system, a community ready to help you and detailed educational content (video/static) you simply have to access through the link posted here: https://t.co/BURp5G32fb
Only requirement is the desire of growing and putting in commitment.
👁️ The World Ahead 2026 👁️
I want to offer you my personal intepretation of the last cover of "The Economist" which has raised a lot of questions, so I will try to do my best in order to decipher it with an eye on financial markets. (long post but well worth it in my opinion)
- Main thesis -
The central thesis of my interpretation is that the cover of The World Ahead 2026 depicts a world being structured to function under permanent instability.
War, economic stress, technological disruption, health intervention, cultural conflict..everything is part of an interdependent mechanism of a single system where instability is the operating condition through which power is exercised and maintained.
This is why the illustration is so crowded.
If you think about, nothing exists on isolation, right?
♻️Military conflict bleeds into economics, economics into health, health into technology, technology into culture, and culture back into politics.
The absence of clear boundaries is not a "mistake of the author" but its a message: separation itself has ended.
The thesis, therefore, is not that chaos is imminent, but that chaos has been domesticated making it more predictable, governable, and in some cases (most of them) economically productive.
Just look around you..the system adapts populations to volatility through continuous intervention: policy, media, medicine, and technology.
"What?"
Well:
- Conflicts are contained rather than concluded
- Economic stress is offset rather than eliminated
- Social tension is redirected rather than reconciled
What we can extract, therefore?
That seen through this lens, the cover functions as a declaration of a "new normal", communicating to its intended audience that the future will not be defined by grand solutions but by adjustments and control within limits.
The task of power in 2026 is not to restore order, but to operate effectively inside disorder so everything that appears on the cover, from missiles to medicines, from financial symbols to cultural icons serves this single idea, in my opinion.
- Element by element -
1. Globe as a soccer ball ⚽️
As we can see the world is drawn like a soccer ball and this is a clear metaphor tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup that will be co‑hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico making sport a global stage for "soft power" and identity.
Now what I'm thinking is that the iconic figure of Ronaldo kicking the ball may be interpreted less as an athlete and more as an emblem of institutional power, demonstrating how deliberate interventions can set a globally interconnected system in motion, exactly as he does with the ball, bringing volatility on the table.
Start date: 11th June 2026
End date: 19th July 2026
I would keep an eye on the start.
2. U.S. flag behind a large birthday cake 🇺🇸
This is a clean reference to the U.S. 250th anniversary in 2026 that should put America at the heart of global history.
However in here we have an important factor to pay attention at, which is the juxtaposition of celebration and crisis as the cake is surrounded by "doom" elements like missiles, war ships etc meaning, in my humble opinion, that the country may not be immune to global shocks.
3. Raised fist + broken gavel ✊
With the U.S. flag slightly behind, this likely means societal tension, possibly unrest and friction between authority and civil populations (BLV docet) where the cracked gavel denotes weakened institutions.
As an implication, political legitimacy and justice systems will be under strain with implications for policy consistency and economic confidence.
4. Missiles across the sky + tanks on globe 🪖
These are straightforward references to military conflict and armament escalation both ongoing and potentially emerging.
Tanks and missiles together imply multi‑domain warfare (land and strategic weapons) showing conflict as a pervasive backdrop of world affairs, not isolated crises. (remember what we were saying in the beginning?)
Conflict becomes background noise rather than a singular shock.
From an investment standpoint, this favors sectors tied to defense, energy security, logistics, and commodities.
5. Red/blue code 🔴📘
Something that people may not notice is the intended colors to represent the drawing.
Red is a color used to express danger and tension and in this context could be interpreted as a conflicts between countries and therefore, strong volatility.
Blue instead, flags authority or governance and based on my belief, it can signal the forced introduction of a new technology to gain control. (CBCDs?)
Essentially, competing forces, so think of it like a chessboard where red pieces create pressure or threats, and blue pieces try to contain or manage that pressure.
6. Syringes/pills 💉💊
In here we have oversyzed syringes and scattered pills dispersed around so this should represent:
- The rise of biotech, drugs, defensive stocks
- Potential pandemics/flu
- Potential vaccination campaigns, innovations etc
Medicine/healthcare should be a primary narrative.
7. Brain plugged into a gaming controller 🧠🎮
To me this is a clear reference to AI (human integration) and possible digital control.
It shows that attention, perception, and decision-making are increasingly engineered within interconnected systems so control over information and behavior becomes a core domain of power, with, as you can imagine, direct implications for economics, governance, and social stability.
Deep fakes? Algos driving your interest?
It may be just the beginning.
It may be not stupid to consider as investment chips, cloud, cybersecurity, and platform providers..
8. Ancient style boat⛵️
A boat is by de-facto a symbol of movement, transition and exploration of the uncertainty.
Because the boat is anachronistic compared with the other elements, it likely isn’t meant to point to a specific 2026 event, but rather to hint that long‑standing historical currents, traditions, or ideas continue to influence modern dynamics.
If we assume that 2026 will be a year of changes and especially in a context of technological disruption, geopolitical tension, and volatility well..we have a +1.
9. Melting ice cubes 🧊
On the external part of the globe we can find melting ice cubes which are an ideological representation of climate change and overall enviornmental instability.
Alone is a reason to pay attention because climate change is widely recognized as a systemic risk to financial markets (supply chain, harvests, production costs) that may affect asset values across specific sectors.
It may also signal another reason to pay attention to "new solutions" in the agricultural landscape.
If this is the case, I would look into alternative agriculture, water, energy infrastructure, and climate adaptation..
10. Geopolitical tensions & financial markets ⚔️
The thing that jumps out immediately below the cake is a chart with swords crossing each others, likely mirroring the trade war between China and U.S.
The chart clearly appears chaotic, with peaks and troughs emphasized, creating a sense of volatility and tension..but the predominant color is red, and this alone is a powerful sign.
Red implies risk, pressure, or threat and it can be associated with loss, drawdowns and negative sentiment, aka economic impact.
11. 3 extras I noticed 🛰️ 💸🤖
- Satellites likely meaning global observation, surveillance, connectivity and space-defense
- Money printing that can flash bank interventions and stimulus as the dollar is "cracked"/broken currency indicating structural fragility in global currencies and overall economy
- Robots/dogs/drones that may be interpreted as automation and replacement of humans in the production chain/companies + further adoption of robots in our daily lives
--------------------------------------------------------
👁️Bottom line and considerations:
In reality, the cover of "The Economist" isn't an overall mistery to me and this simply because I had the perception of a potential very turbulent year explained here https://t.co/Och3W6SScg so it goes hand in hand with the thesis.
However, despite my expectations for an overall complicated year, I believe that at least the Q1 will be positive and this is not based on some details in the cover but is explained in my charts https://t.co/30DQbmSsxa and their liquidity dynamics, so before a potential collapse I see us performing well.
"Any other indication?"
Something that may be added is BTC seasonality/cycle.
If we consider:
- Top2top -> 1490 days (first cycle)
- Bottom2bottom -> 1430 days (first cycle)
- Top2top -> 1431 days (second cycle)
- Bottom2bottom -> 1431 days (second cycle)
Then, if this is the top (we may even get a new high but this doesn't change the overall idea) then our bottom should be in late 2026 and considering everything we stated above, well..we have a good recipe.
This post will updated step by step as we transition into the next year looking quarter by quarter to see what we have and how things are evolving.

👁️This is yesterday BTC short execution on NYO. (+ considerations)
There are some very specific nuances especially on the nature/pattern of the moves.
Watch, enjoy and share if you think it's a valuable content.
@ApexTrader0 Super interesting strategies! I am considering trying out the signals bot... one question: I see you often use a 10x lev, and the SL is quite wide (also above 10%), does it mean you "accept" full liquidation on those trades? How do you handle risk management? thanks!
XLM gave a textbook HTF reversal at the $0,21 monthly key level, launching into HTF supply where it reversed sharply. A perfect setup.
A perfect opportunity to more than double a spot position from a clean, high-probability level. That’s the kind of "easy money" this game offers, but only if you understand how to play it.
You don’t hold and hope for "a lot more" while praying for the dynamics of the game to change, because they won’t. You take profits aggressively and patiently wait for the next optimal entry. That’s how precision traders win, consistently.
So why are most still not making money?
- Because their realistic targets never satisfy their ego. They don’t want a 50% or 100% gain or even 300% gain in a single position. They want a miracle in a game that's designed and manipulated by evil players, not by God.
They want to be the next SHIB billionaire with a $200 bet. And they can’t bring themselves to sell "too early" because someone on YouTube or the cult they're part of said they’d regret it. But those stories, the lottery winners, the 1000X moonshots, are nothing more than psyops engineered to keep you gambling.
They sell you dreams so you never develop strategy. So you keep holding, hoping, and getting wrecked. Forever chasing the jackpot.
The real winners don't chase. They capitalize. They move with precision. They trade reality, not fantasies.
How high BTC can go in the event of a full rebalancement of the early November impulse? (without ruining the HTF MS)
This is probably one of the most interesting questions, so I'll try to provide my idea and plan.
As you know, one of the main theories utilized in SMC is the AMT one which serves as main law to move the market on one side or another.
Every time the price seeks to fill important inefficiencies that have left behind (especially if they match a significant HTF demand area) the asset finds potential new "fuel" preparatory to ignite a bigger move.
Without fuel (whether It is on HTF or LTF), every impulse up or down simply hasn't enough strength to be sustained, this is one of the core principles of AMT.
Considering this and admitting we will catch the liquidity generated during the early November macro impulse on BTC, the probabilities for seeing a sustained pump will increase..but how much?
Well, there a few things to consider.
First of all, the clean HTF distribution we saw at the top (link here https://t.co/hw4kbKyryy if you missed the post) clearly shows the intention of smart money, therefore the desire of unloading heavy positions and preparing for the "big short" which has taken place using the Trump's official settlement as a perfect excuse to massacre thousands of retails.
The majority of them are already devastated, watching their portfolios vanishing and being left to deal with the mess.
This is something SM know clearly well and they might prepare a trap (confirmed by the next PA developments).
In this case, they need to push the prices higher if they want to attract a new wave of naives.
Always going level by level therefore with the reclaim of key swings in order to confirm every potential BOS created to the upside (make sure to trail and set partial TPs) higher targets I'm looking for are:
- 97.870$ (M supply)
- 100.300$ (aligned with BTC/XAU HTF level)
- 103.700$ (watch for Friday 31 January FVG)
These are all valid solutions in case the price wicks violently without reclaiming on HTFs the high that has generated the macro bearish impulse that broke the distribution range, therefore the late February one at 99.520$.
Overtaking that high would mean creating a strong buy signal, watching for potential double top or new highs, hypothetically.
Another interesting perspective (which will be my main source of confluence) is determined by the weekly imbalance left behind on the 1st of February, which is still pending..⌛️
Inside it, we can find a M demand I mentioned long time ago that has never been filled, together with several extra HTF demands + liquidity.
If the levels highlighted above will match this one, it's a strong and necessary TP level/area.
"But mate, what happens in case SM want to create a much bigger trap going for a new high?
There are 3 levels I'm looking for:
- 114.899$
- 118.600$
- 121.935%
The probabilities of reaching them, especially the last 2 are lower, but it's very interesting to put the attention on the first one which corresponds to the 127.20% extension and...CZ.
Nowadays it's not a secret that prominent key figures leave "traces" and cryptic messages and seeing CZ mentioning 114.000 words is fascinating to observe especially considering that it matches my Fib extension.
Naturally, my approach and the one I suggest to everyone to implement is not "ah so I'm targeting for much higher prices", but constantly working level by level evaluating the PA because is the only edge you can have, preparing multiple plans.
Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
