It gives me great pleasure to share how far Iโve come on my journey since I learnt FX trading under @Kelvintalent_ mentorship. Honestly, it remains one of the best decisions Iโve ever made.
I played around on MT5 and it looked beautiful.
How does it look?
WTI is one of the most volatile instruments you can trade. One minute itโs bullish; the next, itโs bearish.
If you need to know where the market is going before you take a trade, how do you ever become comfortable with uncertainty?
If your setup only works when everything goes according to plan, was it really an edge; or just a perfect scenario?
If you keep moving your stop because โprice will come back,โ are you managing the trade or negotiating with the market?
And if you need to win this trade to recover the last oneโฆ
are you still trading, or are you trying to erase a mistake?
Forex will constantly expose the difference between what you know and how you actually behave.
Thatโs why trading psychology isn't separate from strategy.
Your psychology is revealed by what you do when your strategy stops working.
Crypto Market Digest | Wednesday, Aug 26, 2026
$BTC: ~$77,800โ$79,300 (down ~1โ2% in 24h; fading from Tuesdayโs ~$81.2k high after a brief $80k reclaim)
$ETH: ~$2,440โ$2,470 (down ~1โ2%)
Market Cap: ~$2.63โ$2.68T
Fear & Greed: Greed zone (65)
๐ Quick takes:
โข BTC tagged a three-month high near $81.2k on Tuesday, then slipped back under $80k as traders took profits after a ~23% weekly rally; selling has been orderly so far, with price still holding the high-$77k zone.
โข Spot crypto ETFs stayed bid: BTC funds took in ~$314M on Tuesday (7th straight inflow day; BlackRock IBIT ~$284M) and ETH funds ~$180M (also a 7-session streak). Combined BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP ETF inflows were about $550M for the session. Wednesdayโs flow tape is still outstanding.
โข Sentiment cooled from Tuesdayโs 74 reading to 65, but remains in greed after flipping from fear in under two weeks. Near-term macro is stacked: todayโs PCE/GDP prints and Nvidia earnings, then Fed Chair Kevin Warshโs Jackson Hole keynote on Friday.
โข Alts are lagging the pullback. SOL, XRP, and DOGE slipped more than BTC as last weekโs winners got sold; weekly gains are still large (XRP near ~45%, ETH ~16โ29% depending on the window).
๐ Next: Watch whether BTC can hold the mid/high $77ks, todayโs ETF flow updates and PCE reaction, and positioning into Jackson Hole (Aug 27โ29).
