EURUSD, (1H chart pattern).EURUSD, (1H chart pattern). Clear double top (“1st top” and “2nd top”) around 1.1900 Price is extended above the Ichimoku cloud → pullback / correction likely Me’ve already marked downside target zones, which makes sense Logical downside targets Based on structure + support levels: 🎯 Target 1 (conservative) ≈ 1.1800 Prior consolidation area Psychological round number Likely first reaction / partial profit zone 🎯 Target 2 (main target) ≈ 1.1680 – 1.1700 Strong previous support Near cloud base / value area Matches measured pullback after impulsive move In short TP1: 1.1800 TP2: 1.1680–1.1700 If price breaks and holds above 1.1900, the double-top idea is invalid and bearish targets are off.

ETH - The Last Standing Low!ETH is now sitting right around the lower bound of its range, and this isn’t just any support. This level marks the last standing low from the weekly timeframe, a zone that has already proven it matters. As long as this weekly low holds, ETH still has a real chance to rotate higher and work its way back toward the upper bound of the range. This is where strong markets usually make a decision: either defend structure… or break it. For now, I’m not guessing bottoms. I’m simply respecting the level. Hold this zone, and upside scenarios stay valid. Lose it, and the picture changes entirely. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Always do your own research and manage risk properly. 📚 Stick to your trading plan regarding entries, risk, and management. Good luck! 🍀 All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Richard Nasr

BTC/USDT: Rejection Below 90K Points to 84.5K TargetBTCUSDT followed through on the previous bearish idea, rejecting near 97,700 along the red trendline and dropping back under mid-range structure. The move came after a compression breakout, trapping late buyers. As long as BTC stays below 90,000, the bias remains bearish, with sellers aiming toward the 85,000–84,500 support zone where previous demand and structural support align. ➡️ Primary scenario: rejection below 90K → move toward 84.5K. ❗️ Risk: reclaim above 91K could invalidate the setup.

[LOI] - BTR - BTR Key Points Purpose : Bitlayer is a Layer 2 network built on Bitcoin, designed to enable scalable DeFi applications while maintaining Bitcoin's security through BitVM technology. It aims to unlock Bitcoin's capital for broader use in smart contracts and decentralized finance. Problem Solved: Bitcoin's native limitations in scalability, programmability, and transaction throughput hinder complex DeFi; Bitlayer addresses this by providing Turing-complete contracts via an optimistic validation scheme, allowing high-throughput execution without compromising Bitcoin's consensus. Bullish Case for Demand : With Bitcoin's ecosystem gaining traction in 2026 amid BTCFi narratives, Bitlayer's EVM compatibility, yield-generating assets like YBTC, and upcoming enhancements could drive adoption; its low market cap (~$30M) suggests high growth potential but also volatility, making it risky to short as pumps (e.g., recent 46%+ daily gains) indicate strong speculative interest. Partnerships : Key collaborations include mining pools (Antpool, F2Pool, SpiderPool) controlling ~40% of Bitcoin hashrate, DeFi platforms like Kamino Finance and Orca for YBTC integration on Solana, infrastructure ties with AWS and Chainlink, and ecosystem links with Sui, Base, Arbitrum, and Cardano. Current Market Cap : Approximately $30.6 million, with a circulating supply of 261.6 million BTR out of 1 billion total; this low cap amplifies upside potential in a bullish BTC L2 market but heightens risk. Recent Announcements : January 2026 funding surge of $29 million to enhance BTC and multi-chain integrations; anticipated mainnet upgrade in February 2026; USDC token contract update; outlook for further growth including Bitcoin event participation. Notes on how I personally use my charts/NFA: Each level L1-L3 and TP1-TP3 (Or S1-S3) has a deployment percentage. The idea is to flag these levels so I can buy 11% at L1 , 28% at L2 and if L3 deploy 61% of assigned dry powder. The same in reverse goes for TP. TP1: 61%, TP2:28% and TP3:11%. If chart pivots between TP's, in-between or in Between Sell levels these percentages are still respected. I like to use the trading range to accumulate by using this tactic.

1W ETH Update: Back in the dreaded range ETH update – back inside the range Ethereum has now reclaimed the range on the weekly, and that’s the key takeaway here. After the downside reaction, price has rotated back above prior range support, and this week’s candle confirms acceptance rather than a quick rejection. That’s exactly what you want to see after a shakeout. What stands out: • ETH is back trading within the established HTF range • The reclaim around the mid-range held • Weekly structure remains intact • This move invalidates immediate breakdown risk This reinforces the idea that the recent selloff was a liquidity sweep and positioning reset, not a structural failure. As long as ETH holds inside this range, the path of least resistance is continued chop with an upside bias, not trend reversal. Range rules apply again: Below support → reassess Inside range → patience Acceptance toward range highs → expansion potential ETH did the hard part by getting back inside. Now it’s about continuation and confirmation.

Why The Asian Session MattersThe Asian session is often dismissed as slow or irrelevant, but it plays a critical role in shaping the trading day. It does not usually deliver large directional moves, yet it lays the groundwork for what follows. Traders who ignore it miss important information about liquidity, positioning, and intent. During the Asian session, liquidity is thinner and participation is more selective. This environment favors balance rather than expansion. Price often rotates within a defined range, building inventory and establishing short-term equilibrium. These ranges are not meaningless. They become reference points for later sessions, especially when London and New York enter with increased volume. One of the key functions of the Asian session is liquidity placement. Equal highs, equal lows, and compressed ranges formed overnight attract attention during the active sessions. These levels act as magnets. When London opens, price often targets Asian highs or lows to access resting orders before choosing direction. Traders who understand this stop treating these moves as randomness and start seeing them as preparation. The Asian session also reveals early bias. A market that holds above key levels overnight shows different intent than one that grinds lower into them. While this does not confirm direction, it provides context. Strong acceptance or repeated rejection during low participation hints at where larger players may later apply pressure. Volatility behavior matters as well. Because ranges are typically tighter, breakouts during Asia often lack follow-through. Traders who chase them provide liquidity. Traders who wait use the session to define boundaries and plan execution for higher-volume hours. This improves timing and reduces unnecessary drawdown. Another overlooked aspect is risk calibration. The Asian session shows how price behaves when participation is limited. If structure already weakens or levels fail during Asia, continuation during active sessions becomes less likely. If structure remains intact, probability improves once volume returns. The Asian session is not about trading aggressively. It is about observation and preparation. It defines levels, reveals early behavior, and sets traps for impatience. Traders who respect its role enter the main sessions with clearer context, better location, and fewer emotional decisions.

Price ActionPrice action focuses on how price behaves as buyers and sellers interact in real time. Every candle reflects a negotiation between participation, urgency, and resistance. The size of the body, the length of the wick, and the way candles form in sequence reveal intent that cannot be captured by indicators alone. When observed within proper context, price action becomes a direct expression of market behavior rather than a derived interpretation. Individual candles carry limited information in isolation. Their relevance depends on what preceded them and where they appear within the broader structure. A rejection only becomes meaningful when it occurs near a level where liquidity has been taken or where the market previously made a decision. Context transforms movement into information by tying price behavior to location and sequence. The relationship between candles matters more than their individual appearance. Strong impulses followed by shallow, orderly pullbacks show that one side is willing to defend progress. Overlapping candles, repeated wicks, and slow advancement indicate hesitation and balanced pressure. When price struggles to advance despite repeated attempts, tension builds beneath the surface. When price moves cleanly with little opposition, control is visible without further confirmation. Shifts in price action often precede visible reversals. Momentum gradually weakens, extensions fail to follow through, and ranges begin to compress. These changes develop over time and reflect evolving participation rather than abrupt transitions. Traders who focus on static patterns often miss these developments because they emerge through subtle changes in sequence and tempo. Alignment across timeframes provides clarity. Lower timeframe price action reveals execution detail and entry precision, while higher timeframes define context and directional bias. Reading lower timeframe behavior without reference to higher timeframe structure leads to unnecessary activity and inconsistent outcomes. When both align, execution becomes cleaner and decision-making stabilizes. Price action communicates how the market is behaving in the present moment. It shows where effort is being absorbed, where pressure is building, and where participation is thinning. Interpreting these signals requires patience, repetition, and structured review. Over time, this process sharpens the ability to recognize active conditions, uncertain phases, and emerging opportunities before they become obvious. This skill develops through observation and feedback rather than shortcuts. As familiarity with price behavior deepens, reactions give way to informed responses, and execution becomes more deliberate. That progression marks the transition from reactive trading to structured decision-making grounded in how the market actually moves.

BTCUSDT: Buyers Defend 88,500 Support, Targeting 90,600 RetestHello everyone, here is my breakdown of the current BTCUSDT setup. Market Analysis BTCUSDT is trading within a broader corrective-to-recovery phase after a strong impulsive move earlier. On the left side of the chart, price was capped by a descending triangle resistance line, where multiple breakout attempts occurred, including fake breakouts, before buyers finally gained momentum. This breakout led to a sharp bullish impulse, pushing price into a clearly defined range zone between approximately 94,000 and 98,000, where the market transitioned into consolidation. After spending time ranging, BTC failed to hold the lower boundary of the range, resulting in a strong bearish breakdown and acceleration to the downside. This impulsive sell-off brought price into a key Support Zone around 88,500–88,800, where selling pressure weakened significantly. Buyers stepped in aggressively from this demand area, leading to a sharp rebound and the formation of a new ascending channel, signaling the start of a short-term bullish recovery structure. Currently, price is respecting the upward channel, forming higher lows and showing gradual bullish pressure. BTC is consolidating just below the Resistance Zone around 90,600, which previously acted as a key level and is now being tested again. Price action near this level suggests compression and potential buildup rather than strong rejection, indicating that buyers are attempting to regain control. My Scenario & Strategy My primary scenario remains bullish as long as BTCUSDT holds above the 88,500–88,800 support zone and continues to respect the lower boundary of the ascending channel. A confirmed breakout and acceptance above the 90,600 resistance would validate continuation and open the path toward higher targets within the recovery structure. However, if price breaks above resistance with momentum, continuation toward the next resistance levels becomes likely. However, if BTC fails to break higher and loses the ascending channel support, a pullback toward the support zone could occur for another potential reaction. A decisive breakdown below the support zone would invalidate the bullish recovery scenario and suggest a deeper continuation of the corrective move. For now, structure favors buyers while support and the ascending channel remain intact. That's the setup I'm tracking. Thank you for your attention, and always manage your risk.

At the moment, with rising global geopolitical tensions, it’s completely understandable that money flows are getting out of Bitcoin. I won’t buy BTC just because the US dollar is weakening.

XAUUSD Bullish Structure Intact - $5,040 AheadHello traders! Here’s my technical outlook on XAUUSD (2H) based on the current chart structure. Gold continues to trade within a broader bullish context, maintaining a sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Earlier in the move, price spent a significant amount of time consolidating inside multiple range structures, indicating accumulation before continuation. After breaking out of the most recent range, XAUUSD accelerated higher and respected a rising trend structure, confirming sustained buyer control. This bullish impulse transitioned into a rising wedge formation, where price continued to climb while compressing between the wedge support and resistance lines. During this phase, pullbacks remained corrective, and buyers consistently defended higher support levels. Recently, Gold broke above the key Buyer Zone around the 4,900 level, confirming a successful breakout and acceptance above previous structure. This level has now flipped into support and aligns with the broader Support Level marked on the chart. Price is currently consolidating above this zone while respecting the wedge support line, suggesting continuation rather than exhaustion. Above the market, a well-defined Seller Zone and Resistance Level near 5,040–5,050 stands as the next major obstacle, where profit-taking or selling pressure may emerge. My scenario: as long as XAUUSD holds above the 4,900 Buyer Zone and continues to respect the rising wedge support, the bullish bias remains intact. I expect buyers to maintain control and attempt a continuation toward the 5,040 resistance area (TP1). A clean breakout and acceptance above this Seller Zone would confirm further upside continuation and open the door to new highs. However, a clear rejection from resistance could lead to a short-term pullback toward the Buyer Zone before the next directional move. A decisive breakdown below support would weaken the bullish structure and signal a deeper corrective phase. For now, market structure and momentum continue to favor buyers.

BTCUSD Daily Technical Analysis – Bearish Continuation BiasMarket Structure & Trend Bitcoin is clearly in a macro downtrend on the daily timeframe. Price has broken market structure from the October high and continues to print lower highs and lower lows The recent upside move was corrective, not impulsive — price failed below the 0.382–0.5 Fibonacci retracement zone BTC was rejected from a key supply zone / prior distribution range (highlighted red box) Long-term ascending trendline has been decisively broken Momentum is rolling over again after a weak bounce This is classic bear market retracement → continuation behavior. Fibonacci & Key Levels Measured from the swing high to the December low: 0.382–0.5 Fib zone acted as resistance (clean rejection) Failure to reclaim 0.5 confirms sellers remain in control Price is now threatening continuation toward major liquidity below Key downside liquidity targets: 80,000 (local support, likely to break) 72,000–70,000 (next liquidity pocket) 55,000–54,000 (major HTF demand and prior accumulation base) That 54,900 area is the real magnet if fear hits. RSI & Momentum RSI rolled over from mid-range, failed to regain bullish territory No bullish divergence present Momentum favors continuation lower, not reversal Fundamental Catalyst – FOMC Risk This week’s FOMC meeting is a major volatility trigger. If: Powell stays hawkish Rates stay higher for longer Liquidity expectations get pushed out Crypto does not like that environment , and BTC typically reacts fast and hard. Technicals already point lower — FOMC can be the fuel. Trade Plan – Short Setup (Primary Bias) Entry (Sell) Option 1 – Aggressive Sell on a daily close below 84,000 Option 2 – Conservative Sell on a pullback into 86,500–88,000 (prior support turned resistance) Stop Loss Initial SL: 91,500 Above supply zone and failed Fib reclaim If price gets here, the bearish thesis is invalidated Take Profit Targets Scale out — don’t be greedy. TP1: 80,000 TP2: 72,000 TP3 (Runner): 55,000–54,000 HTF demand zone Trade Management (Very Important) Once trade is +3,000 points in profit: Move Stop Loss to Breakeven +1,000 points Activate trailing stop of 3,000 points Let volatility work for you — especially during FOMC This protects capital while keeping you in for the flush. Invalidation This bearish setup is invalid if: BTC reclaims and holds above 92,000 on a daily close Strong bullish displacement through the supply zone Until then — rallies are sells. Bottom Line This chart is distribution → breakdown → weak retracement → continuation. If FOMC delivers even mild hawkish surprise, Bitcoin has clean air below and a very real path toward 70k and potentially mid-50s. Trade it like a professional: Defined risk Mechanical execution No emotional attachment

Price Returning to Equilibrium After Fast RallyHello everyone, On the H4 timeframe, ETHUSDT previously experienced a very sharp and aggressive rally, with little time spent consolidating. Price was pushed almost vertically from the 3,10x area up toward 3,35x–3,40x, stretching far away from the EMA cluster in a short period. This created a strong impulsive move, but with a relatively thin price base underneath. The issue emerged right at the top. ETH failed to maintain acceptance around the 3,35x–3,40x zone, consolidating only briefly before being clearly rejected. On the chart, this reflects a lack of acceptance — the market was not ready to value ETH at those higher levels, forcing price to rotate back toward areas with greater prior trading activity and liquidity. Once the pullback began, EMA 34 was the first level to give way, signaling that short-term bullish momentum had ended. Price then continued sliding toward EMA 89, which represents the medium-term equilibrium of the trend. ETH stabilizing around the 3,11x–3,12x region suggests the market is mainly correcting the earlier overextended rally, rather than entering a full breakdown phase. At this point, the key focus is the price reaction around EMA 89. If ETH can hold this zone and avoid a clear H4 close below it, the most reasonable scenario is a period of consolidation to rebuild structure, before potentially attempting a rebound to retest EMA 34. Wishing you all a great trading session!

Why Beginners Struggle w/ Strategies (And How Testing Fixes It)Why Beginners Struggle With Strategies And How Backtesting Changes Everything Most beginners struggle with trading strategies for the same reason: they judge performance too quickly. A strategy looks good on a chart. A few trades win. Confidence builds. When losses eventually show up, frustration follows and the strategy is abandoned. The cycle repeats with a new indicator, a new setup, or a new idea. This isn’t because beginners lack intelligence or discipline. It’s because they’re evaluating strategies without context. Trading strategies don’t “work” or “fail” in isolation. They behave differently depending on conditions, risk, and expectations. Backtesting is what reveals that behavior. Logic Explains the Idea. Testing Explains the Reality Strategy logic explains why something might work. Backtesting explains how it actually behaves. A strategy might be based on momentum, mean reversion, trend-following, or volatility expansion. The logic can be sound and still produce disappointing results if the conditions aren’t favorable. Backtesting adds perspective by answering questions logic alone cannot: How often does this strategy win? How large are the losses when it fails? How long do losing streaks last? How sensitive is performance to small changes? Without testing, beginners often mistake a good story for a good strategy. The Beginner Trap: Judging a Strategy Too Early One of the most common mistakes beginners make is evaluating a strategy based on a very small number of trades. A short streak of wins creates confidence. A short streak of losses creates doubt. Neither tells you much. Markets are noisy. Randomness dominates in the short term. Backtesting across more data helps smooth that noise and reveal what’s normal behavior versus what’s a warning sign. A strategy that loses five times in a row may be behaving exactly as expected. A strategy that wins five times in a row may simply be experiencing luck. Testing provides the reference point needed to tell the difference. Why Drawdown Matters More Than Profit Beginners often focus on profit first. Experienced traders focus on drawdown first. Drawdown is the amount an account declines from a peak before recovering. It’s not just a number. It represents psychological pressure, risk of abandonment, and capital erosion. Two strategies can produce the same return and feel completely different to trade: One may experience shallow, manageable drawdowns The other may suffer deep, extended losses before recovering Backtesting exposes this difference clearly. A strategy with large drawdowns may look profitable on paper, but it can be extremely difficult to trade in real time. Many traders quit these strategies at the worst possible moment, right before recovery. Understanding drawdown ahead of time helps beginners choose strategies they can actually stick with. Why Win Rate Is Often Misleading Another common beginner focus is win rate. High win rate feels comforting. Low win rate feels broken. But win rate alone says very little about strategy quality. A strategy can win often and still lose money if losses are large. Another can lose frequently and still be profitable if wins are larger than losses. Backtesting helps beginners see how metrics interact: Win rate Average win Average loss Drawdown Trade frequency No single metric tells the full story. Testing reveals the balance. The Problem With “Perfect” Settings Many beginners assume that once the “right” parameters are found, performance will remain consistent. In reality, this is rarely the case. Strategies that depend on very specific settings often fail when conditions change. Slight adjustments to timeframe, volatility, or market structure can dramatically alter results. Backtesting across parameter ranges helps identify whether a strategy’s edge is structural or accidental. Robust strategies tend to behave similarly across a range of settings. Fragile strategies collapse when assumptions shift. This distinction is almost impossible to see without broader testing. Frequency, Friction, and Expectations More trades do not automatically mean better results. Each trade introduces: Execution risk Slippage Fees Emotional decision-making Backtesting helps beginners understand how trade frequency affects performance. A strategy that trades constantly may look productive but struggle to compound once friction is accounted for. Fewer, higher-quality trades often lead to smoother equity curves. Testing sets realistic expectations and prevents overtrading driven by boredom or impatience. Why Beginners Argue About Strategies Beginners often argue about whether a strategy “works” because they’re each looking at a different slice of data. One trader tests during a favorable period. Another tests during a difficult regime. Both conclusions feel correct. Backtesting across broader conditions helps reconcile these disagreements. It doesn’t eliminate uncertainty, but it reveals where and when a strategy tends to struggle. Understanding this reduces frustration and replaces debate with curiosity. What Backtesting Really Teaches Backtesting is often misunderstood as a way to find perfect strategies. In reality, its greatest value is educational. It teaches: What normal losing periods look like How strategies behave under stress How expectations should be calibrated Why patience matters For beginners, this learning curve is invaluable. It transforms trading from guessing into structured experimentation. Final Thoughts: From Guessing to Understanding Backtesting doesn’t make trading easy. It makes trading honest. It replaces hope with context and confidence with preparation. Instead of chasing strategies that look good today, beginners learn how strategies behave over time. Trading becomes less about finding something flawless and more about understanding what you’re actually trading. That shift doesn’t guarantee success. But it dramatically improves the odds of staying in the game long enough to learn.

Why Strategy Performance Depends More on Testing Than LogicTwo traders can trade the exact same strategy and walk away with completely different conclusions. One calls it profitable. The other calls it broken. Most of the time, neither is wrong. The difference usually isn’t the strategy logic. It’s the testing. Strategy logic explains why a trade might work. It tells a coherent story about market behavior, momentum, mean reversion, or trend. But logic alone doesn’t tell you how often that behavior holds up, how sensitive it is to small changes, or how it behaves when conditions shift. That’s where many disagreements begin. Backtesting helps by expanding the sample beyond a single outcome. A strategy that looks reliable on one chart, timeframe, or parameter set may behave very differently when those assumptions are adjusted. Small changes in inputs, market regime, volatility, or timeframe can dramatically alter performance, drawdown, and consistency. Without testing across these variations, it’s easy to mistake coincidence for edge. This is why strategy debates never really end. Each trader is often judging performance based on a limited slice of data. Within that slice, their conclusion feels justified. One trader may be looking at a period where conditions favored the strategy. Another may be looking at a period where those same rules struggled. Both are drawing conclusions from incomplete information. Backtesting doesn’t exist to “prove” a strategy works. Its real value is in revealing distribution. It shows how often a strategy succeeds, how often it fails, and how fragile or stable it is when assumptions are changed. Robust strategies tend to exhibit similar behavior across a range of conditions. Fragile strategies depend heavily on specific settings or environments remaining intact. This is also why optimization alone can be misleading. A strategy that produces exceptional results at a single configuration may collapse when slightly perturbed. Testing across broader parameter ranges helps separate genuine structural behavior from overfitting. Logic still matters. Backtesting doesn’t replace it. But without testing, logic remains theoretical. With testing, it becomes contextualized. Performance stops being a story and starts becoming measurable. Most disagreements in trading aren’t really about the market. They’re about how much of the picture has actually been tested.

AVA Falling Wedge at Demand | Reversal Setup FormingAVA is forming a clear falling wedge pattern on the 1D timeframe, with price compressing toward the lower boundary of the structure. The current pullback has reached a key demand zone around 0.30–0.28, aligning with the 0.618–0.786 Fibonacci retracement. Falling wedges are typically bullish reversal structures. As long as this demand zone holds, price can rotate higher and attempt a breakout above wedge resistance. A confirmed breakout would open upside toward 0.33, followed by 0.38. A clean loss of the demand zone would invalidate the setup and expose downside toward 0.23. This is a critical reaction area.
