Bitcoin teases a record high (but I'm not 'buying' it)While my bias for bitcoin futures to reach 125k remain in play, I'm a tad suspicious of its attempt to take out the previous record high with any conviction this week. I take a closer look at trading volumes and futures market positioning to explain why.

HODLing versus Day Trading. aka Hoping versus ControlFrom my experience I've learned that I prefer control of my profit rather than holding and hoping.
With there being over 14,000 crypto projects to choose from, there is no guarantee that each market will go back up.
The marker caps are already rather expensive, so to double your money on Bitcoin for example it has to go to $200k, whereas with prop firm day trading I can double my position's size in within an hour.
I have created a trading strategy to support my desire of control. If you too like control over your profit, then stay close to my work.
Inauguration Day! Beware of cowboy swings. Trade responsibly Inauguration Day brings a mix of excitement and uncertainty to the markets, so if you're trading today, be extra cautious. Expect some wild price swings—those "cowboy swings"—as investors react to the political shifts and news. It's easy to get swept up in the action, but remember, it's always best to keep your cool.
While the day might bring opportunities, it also has its risks. Make sure you're staying level-headed, sticking to your strategy, and trading responsibly. And, as always, if things feel too chaotic, there's no shame in sitting this one out. Safe trading!
This or That? Is the Market Choosing This?Trading Family,
Similar patterns on the SPY and BTC chart. But there was also conflicting data on both. There was a bearish head and shoulders pattern on both charts, but there was also bullish data on both charts. The market is conflicted but it is now looking that they may choose to side with the bulls. Let's review the charts.

Bitcoin - This Month Will Decide Everything!Bitcoin ( CRYPTO:BTCUSD ) is still rather bullish:
Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
In December of 2024, we saw a little pause during the overall bullish crypto bullrun, which was actually quite expected after the recent rally of about +500%. This could still turn into a false breakout, but since everything looks rather bullish, new all time highs are much more likely.
Levels to watch: $70.000, $300.000
Keep your long term vision,

I've got some wisdom to share. Take some notes #BitcoinHey members, apologies for being offline for a while...I'm back (kinda)
Tradingview is happy to ban me from speaking to you and for these reasons I might not be making videos on here for much longer
Today I want to share with you some truths that others dont speak about. It's beyond trading mentality, which is why it works
Please learn from my pain (or don't, but do)
"Energy" runs the you and it runs the markets, focus on respecting market energy and your managing your emotions within it
Know the game you're in
Humans have emotions, and if can't manage them those then you're not playing the game right
The market has energy, if you can't identify the energy of the market then you're not playing the game right
Hopefully I'll be catching up with you soon
Ciao for now.

BITCOIN - MEGA BUBBLE ALERT - The Top Is Very Close Now...Bitcoin and many other markets seem to be approaching the end of a significant cycle, signaling the conclusion of what may be the largest bubble in modern history.
In this video, I share my latest analysis using the AriasWave methodology to explain why I believe this trend, which began in 2008, is finally nearing its completion.
While it’s speculative, I estimate that we could be approaching the final peak by March. The increasingly weaker and more complex structure of this move suggests to me that it’s a fragile impulsive wave, indicating an impending reversal.
Just a quick reminder: AriasWave is not the same as Elliott Wave. I developed AriasWave over an 8-year period with the goal of achieving a more accurate understanding of wave analysis, leveraging modern technology to refine the process.

BTC | FRACTAL | Fractal that leads to new ETH ATHBitcoin has been trading stable around 95K, a good indication that the bull run still has some more cards to play for altcoins.
Ethereum, Doge and SOL for example have not yet made new all time high's, indicating that the bullish cycle is far from over.
There's a saying that leads something like "it's not over until someone sings" - well, in this case, the bullish cycle is not over until Ethereum makes a new ATH.

What’s Next for BTC: $99K or $84K?Good Morning, Trading Family!
What’s Next for BTC: $99K or $84K?
Here’s the game plan: if BTC corrects up to $93K, $94K, or $96K, it could then pull back down to the $84K marker. But if BTC breaks $96K, we could see it climb to $99K.
This Sunday, I’m hosting a webinar on how emotions can hurt your trading and how to take control of your mindset for better results.

BTC | FRACTAL | Multi Month to Higher High?BTC has been full of surprises - but I'm not complaining.
Initially, I was following a strict Elliot Wave Theory pattern, which played out extremely well - until the price shot out above the target.
I then re-adjusted the target to just under or just over 100k, which hit shortly after. The most interesting part though, is actually Ethereum. The fact that ETH has not yet made a new ATH after the dramatic BTC high, likely tells us the bull cycle is far form over.
I've been making a few updates on ETH and Altseason, and how you use the BTC.D chart, the BTC chart and the TOTAL# together to get a clear indication of where we are at in the cycle.
I've done MANY updates using this chart, because it is such a powerful combo to use. The fact remains - we have not yet seen a new ETH ath. This raises flags (and in the best possible way) indicating that the bullish cycle is not yet over.

Bitcoin -> CorrectionBitcoin hit my target 100-120k of last video.
right now I have the 108k it hit as the 5th wave of the move that developed off the $16k bottom and we are looking at a larger correction around the $70k for an A wave.
Looking at the bullish case which is still a decent possibility is that we have hit the C wave or will soon (above 87.5k) and should start moving up again shortly.
if we do get the bullish move, I'm unsure at this moment to say whether we started another big move or it will be moving to another 5th wave top with large correction to follow.

Recency Bias: Your Brain’s Worst Trade Idea Ever!Let’s face it: your brain is out to sabotage your trading, and recency bias is its weapon of choice. This sneaky psychological gremlin convinces you that your last few trades—good or bad—are all that matter. But spoiler alert: they’re not.
🎲 What is Recency Bias?
Recency bias is your brain’s tendency to overvalue recent events and ignore the bigger picture. Three wins in a row? You’re invincible, right? WRONG. Three losses? Time to ditch your strategy? ALSO WRONG. The market doesn’t care about your streak—it plays the long game, and so should you.
💀 How It Destroys You
1️⃣ Winning Streak Confidence: After a few wins, you start upping your risk like you’re Warren Buffet. Then BAM—one loss wipes you out.
2️⃣ Losing Streak Paralysis: A few losses, and suddenly you’re too scared to pull the trigger, even on solid setups.
3️⃣ Revenge Trading: The currency pair that burned you? Oh, you’ll “get it back,” right? Nope. You’ll just lose more.
🛡️ How to Beat It
1️⃣ Reset Daily: Clear your head before every session. Meditate, walk, scream into a pillow—whatever works.
2️⃣ Stick to Your Plan: Your strategy works because it’s tested, not because your emotions say so.
3️⃣ Journal Everything: Spot your patterns before they wreck you.
4️⃣ Manage Risk: Winning or losing streaks shouldn’t change your position size. Period.
5️⃣ Check Your Ego: The market isn’t out to get you. It doesn’t even know you exist.
🧠 Final Words
Recency bias is a sneaky little troll, but with self-awareness and discipline, you can shut it down. Remember: your last trade doesn’t define you—your consistency does.
Now stop letting your brain gaslight you and go trade like the pro you were meant to be. 🚀
Where Can Bitcoin Go? Part 6 (2025 the end of cycles?)🚀 2025 kicks off with Bitcoin’s big picture in focus. This is Part 6 of our "Where Can Bitcoin Go?" series, where we explore long-term Bitcoin price dynamics and key levels to watch.
🔍 Key Levels to Watch:
1️⃣ $94,629 – Current support within the 30-minute channel.
2️⃣ $102,150 & $111,192 – Resistance levels likely to be tested again soon.
3️⃣ $79,717 – The level Bitcoin hasn’t tested as support yet. A massive buy opportunity if it gets there! (...If!)
4️⃣ $160k to 192k – Yearly target for 2025, with a 30% chance of reaching higher toward $313,000.
🧐 Big Picture Analysis:
The current bull market doesn’t feel like one, due to macroeconomic factors: inflation concerns, Fed rate policies, and a maturing crypto market. Will revert in detail in due time.
This could mark the end of traditional Bitcoin cycles as we know them, with less seasonality and new norms emerging.
Despite the noise, Bitcoin remains bullish long-term.
📈 What’s Next?
Bitcoin has tested structural resistance twice. A third test is expected in February or March 2025.
A breakout above $111,192 would signal a new all-time high.
If Bitcoin drops to $79,717, prepare to go long like there’s no tomorrow!
💡 “Cycles are evolving as the market matures. More investors understand Bitcoin's seasonality, halving, and structure. This could be the most interesting and volatile year yet.”
🌟 Let’s stay patient, trade smart, and watch these levels closely. Step by step, we’ll navigate this exciting market together. Here’s to a beautiful year ahead!

All-In is for Poker: Why Reckless Risks Will Wreck You!Let me ask you something: when did “winging it” become a trading strategy? Because if you’re going all-in on trades like you’re sitting at a poker table, I’ve got news for you—you’re not trading. You’re gambling. And the market? It’s not your Vegas playground. It’s the ultimate battleground. 🛡️📉
The “all-in” mentality might feel bold, even exhilarating, but here’s the harsh reality: it’s a financial death wish. It’s a shortcut to blowing your account faster than you can say, “I should’ve stuck to my plan.” Trading is a game of strategy, discipline, and survival—not a coin flip for adrenaline junkies.
🚨 The Reality Check No One Wants to Hear
The market isn’t your buddy. It doesn’t cheer for you, it doesn’t care about your hunches, and it sure as hell doesn’t reward recklessness. Think of it like a silent predator, waiting for you to make a dumb move. And trust me, “all-in” is the dumbest move of all.
Why? Because trading isn’t about swinging for the fences. It’s about consistency. It’s about risk management. It’s about staying in the game long enough to win. You can’t do that when you’re betting the farm on every trade.
The pros understand this. They play the probabilities. They protect their capital like their life depends on it—because in this game, it does. Meanwhile, the all-in gamblers? They’re the ones crying on Reddit about how the market is rigged. Spoiler: it’s not. They just suck at trading.

🎯 The Smart Trader’s Mindset
So, how do you avoid the gambler’s trap? Simple: treat trading like the skill game it is.
Here’s the cheat code:
1️⃣ Risk Like a Pro: Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade. If that sounds boring, good. Trading isn’t supposed to be exciting.
2️⃣ Plan It Out: Every trade needs a game plan. Where are you entering? Exiting? What’s your stop-loss? If you don’t know, don’t trade.
3️⃣ Detach Your Ego: You’re not a genius. You’re not a wizard. You’re a trader, and the market doesn’t care about your feelings. Stay humble, or the market will humble you.
4️⃣ Play the Long Game: This isn’t about hitting a home run. It’s about grinding out consistent wins. Small victories compound over time. Big risks blow up your account.
🧠 Master the Game or Get Played
Here’s the takeaway: the market rewards discipline, not drama. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. And if you’re out here treating it like a casino, don’t be surprised when you walk away broke.
Trading is a skill. It’s a craft. And like any craft, it requires patience, practice, and a willingness to learn. So, ditch the gambler’s mindset and start thinking like a strategist. Your future self—and your bank account—will thank you.

BTC Expectations after the Dump -> Upside ahead!In this video, I’m analyzing Bitcoin’s recent price action and highlighting a key Fibonacci retracement level. Here’s the main idea:
Repeated 0.618 Fib Retracement: BTC has repeatedly pulled back into the 0.618 Fibonacci level, suggesting a strong support zone and healthy correction.
Anticipated Expansion Move:
Given these consistent bounces off the golden pocket, I’m expecting a bullish expansion move. This could take BTC to higher resistance levels in the short to mid term, if price action continues to hold above this critical zone.
Let’s see if the market follows through on this anticipated upward swing!
Market Pulse: Bitcoin's Dip & BlueZelle's ResilienceDespite Bitcoin's sharp downturn, BlueZelle shows signs of stability and potential recovery. An analysis of market psychology, key liquidity zones, and technical indicators suggests a optimistic outlook. COINBASE:BTCUSD CRYPTO:BTCUSD COINBASE:BLZUSD CRYPTO:BLZUSD
Bitcoin's Downturn: The recent Bitcoin drop was expected, with clear resistance and range boundaries acting as decisive zones.
BlueZelle's Stability: Despite overall market weakness, BlueZelle demonstrated resilience, with liquidity clusters indicating sustained buyer interest.
Bollinger Bands Analysis: Convergence of the Bollinger Bands suggests a key liquidity zone, supporting the likelihood of upward price movement.
Oscillator Signals: Both RSI and Stochastic indicators are emerging from oversold territory, hinting at bullish sentiment.
Market Psychology: Fear, greed, and herd mentality are driving current price action, but signs of stabilization are emerging.
Key Price Levels: Short-term retracement is expected to reach key levels around $0.068, with potential for further upside.
Strategic Advice: Avoid panic selling during downturns; market corrections are temporary, and historical patterns suggest rebounds are likely.
In this video update, we dive deep into the current state of Bitcoin and BlueZelle amidst a broader market correction. Bitcoin's downward trajectory aligns with previously observed resistance and range boundaries, suggesting the move was not entirely unexpected. Meanwhile, BlueZelle demonstrates remarkable resilience despite Bitcoin's turbulence, with key liquidity zones converging and strong buyer sentiment supporting price stability. The analysis emphasizes the importance of understanding market psychology, crowd behavior, and technical indicators like Bollinger Bands, RSI, and Stochastic Oscillators. Emphasis on patience and strategic decision-making, caution against panic selling during dips. With an expected retracement to key levels and potential bullish continuation, the market remains cautiously optimistic.
Checkmate: Winging it is for birds, not traders♟️ Master the market with strategy, foresight, and just the right amount of sass.
Alright, traders, let’s talk. What do chess grandmasters and top traders have in common? No, it’s not their love of mismatched socks or coffee strong enough to revive the dead ☕. It’s their ability to think three moves ahead while the rest of the world stares at the board wondering, “Is this checkers?”
♟️ Your Gut Isn’t Garry Kasparov
In chess, a grandmaster doesn’t move a piece without thinking of how it’ll play out in the next ten moves. And you? Clicking Buy because your “gut” said so isn’t exactly a strategy. Unless your gut has a PhD in market analysis, maybe sit this one out and plan.
Remember: sometimes you’ve gotta let a pawn (aka small loss) go to protect the king (aka your account). But nope, most traders are out here clinging to losing trades like they’re in a Nicholas Sparks movie. Spoiler alert: this isn’t a love story – it’s an iceberg. 🧊🚢
🤔 Hope Isn’t a Strategy
Chess players anticipate every possible move. You, on the other hand, need to stop vibing your way through trades. 🌈
✔️ Got a plan if the market tanks?
✔️ Got a plan if it spikes?
✔️ Got snacks for when both happen? 🍿
If you’re trading without a stop-loss, you’re basically playing chess blindfolded and hoping for the best. Bold, but not smart.
🧠 Don’t Let Your Brain Sabotage You
Biggest opponent in trading? It’s you. That little voice whispering, “Double down, it’ll recover!” or “Stop-losses are for wimps.” That’s not strategy – it’s sabotage. 🎭
Learn to chill. Emotional moves in chess = disaster. Emotional trades in the market? Same thing, but with fewer pawns and way more pain.
🔑 Discipline = Winning
Grandmasters aren’t magic. They’re disciplined. They put in the hours, study patterns, and show up every day. Traders? Same deal. Forget the mythical “perfect strategy.” It’s your discipline to execute that makes the difference.
So, stop chasing meme stocks and remember: the market is your chessboard. Plan your moves, think ahead, and for the love of all things caffeinated, stop clinging to bad trades. 🖤
