Long trade Trade Journal Entry Pair/Asset: TSLA (Tesla Inc.) Trade Type: Buyside trade Date: Friday, 26th Sept 2025 Session: London to New York Session AM (11:00 AM) Trade Details Entry: 427.51 Profit Level (TP): 465.20 (+8.82%) Stop Level (SL): 425.82 (-0.40%) Risk–Reward (RR): 22.3 Technical Narrative Pre-Trade Context: The price consolidated above a demand zone at 423–427, which coincided with the origin of a prior order block. Inducement & BOS (Break of Structure) confirmed bullish intent. Several fair value gaps (FVGs) were present on the climb, supporting bullish continuation. Entry Justification: *Entry at 427.51 aligns with the mitigation of the demand zone and FVG fill. *The structure flipped bullish after the sweep of local lows, setting the stage for an upside liquidity grab. Target Rationale: *TP aimed at 465.20, aligning with the previous swing high and liquidity above. *Clean imbalances left on the rally offer magnets for price. Risk Management: Tight SL at 425.82, just below the demand origin to invalidate trade if broken. Observations & Notes The accumulation structure within demand was well-formed before the breakout. Entry captured an early move with FVG alignment + inducement sweep. Monitor for potential rejection near 448.96 (intermediate resistance) before TP.

BTCUSD: Watching for Exhaustion at the HighsHello everyone, here is my breakdown of the current Bitcoin setup. Market Analysis From a broader perspective, the price action for Bitcoin has been extremely volatile, with multiple failed breakdowns and breakouts. After a complex struggle, the most recent significant event was a powerful breakout above the 116800 level, followed by a successful retest, which confirmed the shift in control to buyers. Currently, following that breakout, the price has entered a high-momentum rally. This upward impulse is strong but is becoming technically extended, which often increases the probability of a sharp corrective pullback as buyers begin to take profits. My Scenario & Strategy My scenario is a tactical short, aiming to capture this likely corrective move. After such a strong, impulsive rally, a pullback to test the original breakout level is a very common and healthy market dynamic. I'm anticipating that the price will make one last small push to a new high, where it will likely fail to find new buyers. Therefore, the strategy is to watch for this exhaustion at the highs. A confirmed reversal would validate the short scenario. The primary target for this corrective move is the 116800 level, which aligns with the key Support zone. That's the setup I'm tracking. Thank you for your attention, and always manage your risk.

BTCUSD | Why the Short is Possible - Daily Short SetupBitcoin has just completed a clean setup that often signals a high-probability short. 🔑 Technical Breakdown (Chart Notes): Sweep: Price ran above the August highs, collecting liquidity from breakout buyers and stops. Shift: After the sweep, market structure flipped bearish, showing sellers stepping in. 79% OTE + Daily OB: BTC is now trading right inside the Optimal Trade Entry zone, which aligns with a daily Order Block (supply). This confluence makes it a prime reversal area. 📝 In My Words: The market likes to trap late buyers by running liquidity above obvious highs. Once that’s done, price usually shifts lower to hunt the next pool of liquidity. Here, BTC swept the highs, flipped structure, and retraced deep into a supply zone where institutions often sell. Unless bulls can break above 120.8K – 121K, the path of least resistance is lower. 🎯 Downside Targets: First inefficiency fill: 114.2K – 112.1K Main liquidity draw: 98.2K ⚡ Trader’s Note: This short is possible because price delivered the textbook sequence: liquidity grab → structure shift → return to supply. But remember, it’s not about “being right,” it’s about managing risk. If BTC closes strong above the OB, invalidate the short and step aside.

The Number 3 Crypto + The New Low Buying StrategyThis crypto BINANCE:XRPUSDT is the number 3 crypto based on the market cap. Something happened, you see am trying to raise capital for my business and its not easy because the person helping me has given up on me.This person is very close to me and has helped me with my business education we had a huge disagreement some few years ago.Because you see this friend of mine only believes in get rich quick schemes honestly i was so desperate for help back then that any online business education program would have convinced me. But i knew from the very start that the chances of making it in business especially within the next 3 months where not possible. Even though i kept going same with trading when i first saw my trading knowledge serious it was when after i broke up with my girlfriend. I studied Rocket Stocks by Matthew Kratter. Everyday for 21 days then another 14 days apart.This strategy is the one that helped me form the Rocket booster strategy. So whats the point of me telling you these stories? Nothing..these are stories about nothing. Now look at this chart BINANCE:XRPUSD You will see something called the Bullish engulfing. This candlestick pattern is the perfert entry signal.. This strategy is called the New low buying strategy. Because its done on a reversal after a market crash. Rocket boost this content to learn more.

Bearish Momentum Builds: Gold Aims for 3850–3840Gold touched around 3895 during its rise and then began to retreat, reaching a low of around 3856. Currently, gold is fluctuating in a narrow range around 3870. According to the current trend, gold will not continue to maintain its strong position in the short term, and because of the US government shutdown, there may be no economic data in the short term. Out of caution, the market may also press the pause button on gold to ease the upward trend! From a technical perspective, gold fell from around 3872 to around 3793 yesterday, with a retracement of as much as $79; while today gold only fell from 3895 to around 3856, with a retracement of only $39. Judging from the adjustment space and testing cycle, the gold correction is not sufficient and there is still demand to continue to fall, at least to the 3850-3840 area. As gold retreats, it may be difficult for the bullish momentum to regain its strength in the short term. Under the counterattack and pull of the bears, the high-level volatility trend may be exacerbated. In the short term, gold is under pressure in the 3870-3880 area. If it is difficult for gold to break through this area in the short term, gold may continue to fall to the 3850-3840 area through this resistance area. Once it falls below this area, gold may continue to fall to the 3820-3810 area. So in terms of trading, I still think we can continue to try to short gold in the 3870-3880 area, first looking at the retracement target area: 3860-3850.
