Bitcoin Setups: Smart Entry for Buy and Sell Positions (3H)Bitcoin Market Analysis: How Market Makers Banks and Governments Manipulate Price and Capture Liquidity Market makers large financial institutions and even government entities often influence Bitcoin’s price movements to serve their own trading strategies. Their goal is to manipulate the market in a way that allows them to fill their own orders efficiently and enter positions at more favorable prices. Understanding this behavior is crucial for retail traders who want to avoid being caught on the wrong side of these movements. As we have observed Bitcoin has been consolidating for over a month moving sideways within a specific range. During this period it repeatedly hits buyers’ and sellers’ stop orders creating temporary spikes or drops before continuing its range bound movement. These price actions are often small and controlled but they are deliberate. The key question we need to ask is why is this happening The answer lies in thinking like market makers rather than retail traders. In this low volatility phase the main focus should be on identifying where liquidity resides. Market makers target areas where stop orders are clustered these are points where they can collect liquidity to fuel their next large move. On lower timeframes we’ve identified a critical stop zone between 90,154 and 91,600 dollars. This range represents a high probability area to look for sell short setups as market makers often attempt to trigger these stops to gather liquidity. Why is it unlikely for price to break significantly above this zone at this moment On higher timeframes the long stops have not yet been triggered meaning sufficient liquidity has not been collected. Banks and institutional players are still filling their orders. Until this accumulation process is complete strong bullish moves are less likely. Entering positions should always be strategic and aligned with proper risk to reward management. On our chart we’ve marked a setup that respects this principle. It is positioned where sellers’ stops are likely to be triggered allowing us to enter in alignment with market makers and institutional flows. This approach increases the probability of a successful trade while minimizing unnecessary risk. Equally important is integrating trader psychology into your analysis. Technical analysis alone is rarely enough. The majority of trading success approximately 70 to 80 percent comes from understanding market psychology not just price patterns. Recognizing how other traders are likely to react to stops liquidity pools and market maker movements is essential to staying ahead in the market. In summary successful trading in Bitcoin requires a combination of technical awareness liquidity analysis and psychological insight. Always think like the market makers anticipate where liquidity is concentrated and enter trades with calculated risk to reward setups. By doing so you can align yourself with the larger players instead of constantly reacting to their manipulations. If the price does not reach the red zone and our sell position is not triggered, and then it reaches the green zone without hitting our sell zone, we will no longer enter the sell position. In this case, we will look for a buy/long in the green zone We have two entry points for the position, allowing you to enter the sell position using DCA. There are also two targets; after hitting the first target, take some profit and move your stop to break even. If you have a coin or altcoin you want analyzed, first hit the like button and then comment its name so I can review it for you. This is not a trade setup, as it has no precise stop-loss, stop, or target. I do not publish my trade setups here.

Nifty Analysis EOD – December 30, 2025 – Tuesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – December 30, 2025 – Tuesday 🔴 Yearly Expiry: Volatile Indecision at 26K. 🗞 Nifty Summary The Nifty started the session flat but immediately took a sharp 78-point dive south to mark the day low at 25,878. A sudden and aggressive recovery saw the index rise 98 points from the lows to test the CPR range, but it failed to sustain. The subsequent sell-off dragged the price back to the day’s low, where Nifty formed a textbook Double Bottom (DB) pattern. The breakout of this pattern successfully carried the index back to the IBH. In a volatile conclusion to the Monthly and Yearly expiry, the last 5-minute candle aggressively breached the IBH and the previous Day High, allowing Nifty to close at 25,970.55, almost at the high of the day and nearly unchanged from the PDC. The resulting Daily Candle is a Doji, suggesting that the market is currently in a base-building phase near significant support levels. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 🛡 Intraday Walk Today was defined by the “two-way business” typical of a major expiry. The initial plunge was met with fierce buying, creating a high-volatility environment. The formation of the Double Bottom at 25,878 was the technical highlight, providing a solid floor for the bulls. The most interesting action occurred in the final minutes, where a massive spike cleared the IBH, signaling that institutional players may be positioning for a recovery in the new year. If today’s low holds, it could very well be the foundation for the next short-term bullish trend. 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 25,940.90 High: 25,976.75 Low: 25,878.00 Close: 25,938.85 Change: −3.25 (−0.01%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Type: Indecision candle (Doji). Range (High–Low): ≈ 99 points — moderate intraday movement with high churn. Body: ≈ 2 points — essentially no directional commitment between open and close. Upper Wick: ≈ 36 points — rejection near the 25,977 resistance. Lower Wick: ≈ 61 points — strong defense by buyers at the 25,878 level. 📚 Interpretation The Doji formation following a period of bearish pressure is a classic signal of exhaustion among sellers. The long lower wick is particularly significant, as it shows that every attempt to push the market below 25,900 was met with aggressive buying. This balance suggests that the market has found a temporary equilibrium, and the next directional move will depend on whether the index can reclaim the 26,000 psychological mark. 🕯 Candle Type Doji / Long-Lower-Wick Indecision Candle — Signals a potential pause in the bearish trend; follow-through in the next session is critical for direction. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 167.20 IB Range: 78.15 → Medium Market Structure: Balanced Trade Highlights: 10:21 Long Trade : SL Hit 13:28 Long Trade : Target Hit (1:2.18) (TrendLine + DB Pattern) Trade Summary: An active day for the strategy. While the initial long attempt was caught in the morning’s volatile chop, the second trade was perfectly timed. By identifying the Double Bottom pattern and the trendline breakout at 13:28, the system captured a clean move back to the IBH, ending the session profitably. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 26030 26070 26104 (Major Ceiling) Support Zones: 25890 25860 ~ 25840 (Immediate Support) 25800 🧠 Final Thoughts “The 26,000 barrier is the final test for the bulls.” The yearly expiry has left us with a clear “Line in the Sand” at 25,878. If Nifty can open above 26,000 and sustain that level tomorrow, we should expect a continuation of today’s late-session bullish sentiment. However, the 25,890 ~ 25,875 zone must hold the fort; any breach here would invite a deeper test of the 25,800 territory. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

WOO Buy/Long Setups (4H)The order blocks at the top of the chart have been consumed, and most sellers have lost a large portion of their orders. Price has completed a strong CH and is currently trading around a key level. There is also a liquidity pool visible above the chart near the Swing High (SW H). All of these signs indicate that if a pullback occurs, price could move back toward higher levels. The targets are marked on the chart, but the main target is the red supply zone. For risk control, a pullback is needed to enter at a more favorable price, since the invalidation level must be placed properly to avoid losses if price drops. If a pullback occurs, we will enter a buy/long position. For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry Comment if you have any questions Thank You

CRYPTO VOLATILITY INCOMING!Over the last 6 weeks, price has been in a clear consolidation phase and historically, long periods of consolidation are followed by expansion and large moves. From an ICT perspective, this phase often precedes manipulation, where price moves in the opposite direction of what most participants expect. My current bias is that we may see further downside first before the larger move to the upside however, it’s important to stay open-minded and adapt if that manipulation never comes. In this video, I break down: -Where price currently sits within the consolidation range -The levels I’m watching for shorts and longs on Bitcoin -How I’m positioning and managing risk if price moves lower -The strategy I’m using as we approach potential expansion This isn’t about predicting one outcome it’s about understanding market structure, liquidity, and probability, and staying patient while the market reveals its hand. ⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor.

SAND BuyLong Signal (4H)The market maker collected buy orders with a large bearish candle. This was a liquidity grab, as the origin of that bearish move was quickly mitigated. After taking the low, price quickly reversed to the upside and formed a bullish CH. We have two entry points and should enter the position using DCA. There are two targets marked on the chart that we are waiting to be hit. If you would like us to analyze a coin or altcoin for you, first like this post, then comment the name of your altcoin below.

GBPUSD - Bullish ContinuationHTF structure remains bullish with price respecting higher-timeframe flow. The market continues to hold strength, and the overall narrative hasn’t changed — buyers remain in control. Two positions are currently active, both aligned with the prevailing structure. I’m now simply waiting for continuation delivery as price works through its next phase. No rush, no forcing entries — just letting the market unfold as intended. Structure is respected, bias remains intact, and momentum favors continuation. Patience is key. Tracking is the edge. Let’s go. 🔥

USDCAD - Bullish BiasHTF (4H) structure remains bullish. I’ve mapped it from the Daily to get a broader perspective — liquidity has been taken, leading price into a strong OB after the trap was set. On the 30M, I’m watching for a midterm market structure shift. Once that confirms, I’ll define the internal OB and prepare for execution. LTF (5M): after midterm alignment, I’ll wait for price to mitigate the zone, then look for a clear MSS and pullback into demand to take buy entries. Until then, patience is key. Tracking is the edge. Let’s get it. 🔥

USDCHF - Bullish BiasHTF (4H) structure remains bullish, printing the same tape as last week — nothing has changed. Bulls remain in control as price was driven into a strong internal structure OB after taking out major IDM. On the 30M, price has mitigated the OB with strong reaction off the wick, showing respect for the zone and confirming participation through volume. LTF (5M): market structure shifts are forming, but after the initial sweep, probability isn’t fully aligned yet. I’m watching for deeper discounted territory and cleaner alignment across timeframes before engaging. All prior OBs have been mitigated — now it’s about patience and confirmation. Until everything syncs up, I’m waiting. Patience is key. Tracking is the edge. Let’s go. 🔥
