Unlocking the 6 Levels to Financial Freedom
If you’re living paycheck-to-paycheck or stuck in a job you don’t love just to pay the bills, it can be easy to feel as though you’re financially trapped. But financial freedom doesn’t need to be elusive—with some focused and consistent effort, you may be able to achieve financial freedom sooner than you expected. Below, we’ll discuss the different stages of the financial freedom journey
Stage 1: Dependence ✔️
The “dependence” stage of financial freedom can last from your childhood and teen years even into your adult life. If you rely on a parent, a significant other, or someone else to pay your living expenses, you’re in this stage. Fortunately, as soon as you become solvent—that is, when your income exceeds your expenses—you’ve moved on to stage 2.
Stage 2: Solvency ✔️
Solvency comes when you’re able to meet your financial obligations on your own. (If you’re partnered, you can still be considered solvent even if your partner’s income is necessary to meet your total household expenses—since you’re supporting two or more people instead of just yourself.)
Stage 3: Stability ✔️
You’ll transition from solvency to stability once you’ve created an emergency fund of a few months’ expenses, repaid high-interest debt, and are continuing to live within your means. While stability doesn’t require you to be debt-free—as you may still have a mortgage, student loans, or even credit card debt—you’ll have a savings buffer to ensure that you won’t go into debt if you encounter an emergency or unexpected expense.
Stage 4: Security ✔️
You’ll feel financially secure once you’ve eliminated your debt (or have enough assets to pay off all your debt) and could weather a period of unemployment without worry. At this point, money is not just a safety net, but also a tool you can use to build the future you’ve been planning. At this point, you may consider investing in other assets besides retirement accounts — a taxable account, rental real estate, or even your own small business.
Stage 5: Independence ✔️
Once your investment income or passive income is enough to cover your basic needs, you’ve achieved financial independence. A financially independent person can retire at any time without worrying about how to cover their costs of living, even if they may have to downsize their lifestyle a bit.
Stage 6: Freedom ✔️
The line between financial independence and financial freedom can be a fine one; for many, it’s simply the difference between having enough to cover your needs or having more than enough. Once you have financial freedom, you don’t need to pinch pennies (unless you want to), and you can take more risks with money you’re willing to lose.
Now that you know the stages of financial freedom, think about where you are. How much do you need to get to the next level?

Drawing Volume Based Trendlines Support and ResistanceFor this to work you're going to need your bull bear power void oscillator.
I have mine set on its default settings but you can also set it up with the following.
Click the image below for that indicator for free
The Setup
the length is 50
the moving average is 20
the macd settings are 12 / 26 / 9
With this I have a 50 period EMA on my chart.
Drawing Support and Resistance Levels Based on Volume
When drawing support and resistance levels you should always do them on a 1 hour time frame or higher. You can do them on a 30 minute time frame but some of them will be less relevant.
Since most people and most institutions do them a 1 hour time frame and hire you might as well be doing the same.
Support and resistance levels are found in the non-tradable areas of the oscillator. in other words it's the area of the oscillator where it has a black background.
As an example if you have a pink volume bar coming down first followed by a red volume bar afterwards this would mean resistance. But both of these bars must clear the void
If you have a light green bar first outside with the tradable area followed by a dark green bar this means support and both bars must be outside the void.
As an example if you have more than one light colored bar in the tradable area followed by a darker colored bar volume then you draw your support or resistance level at the 1st alternating color bars.
Find out where your current price level is and then draw about 2 or 3 support and resistance levels above current price and two or three below current price. You don't really want more than that.
Drawing Trendlines Based on Volume
To draw trend lines you need to have a background that goes from one color to Black and then to the alternate color for example green to Black to red or red to Black to Green. if you get the same color twice then what you have is a continuation of your trend.
In a trend that goes from green to Black to Red you're looking for the highest volume in the non-tradable area and then drawing of line from there to the very first tradable volume in the red area.
Once you do this you can't move to a smaller time frame and use that trend line as a Target when moving to it or an exit point.

Wyckoff accumulation + gartley pattern We can notice an accumulation phase in the market. Pay attention at the spring, if you zoom in the chart you can see that the low of the spring has broken the low of selling climax and that is a perfect liquidity grab used by istitutionals to open their big long positions.
Then you can see the gartley pattern that worked perfectly, now I expect a retracment and a continuation of the new uptrend
Bitcoin Bear Flag: WARNING!Hello Team,
---Trade Idea:
Short Play:
Bitcoin has formed another Bear Flag; this formation is a bearish pattern indicator. You can see the outcomes of Bear Flags in Bitcoins Past giving the short play a higher probability of occurring. We will wait for a confirmation break of the flag support to enter short positions to our 18.8K Target. As the price falls we will add breakeven stop losses and take profits along the way keeping a small remaining position open for a potential continuation down. Coming up we have GDP, Core & Fed talks so expect an increase in volatility.
This Short positions will be invalid if we break out of the Bear Flag resistance. If this lower probability of price action occurs we can look to retest ~28K.
---Opportunity:
Historically Cryptocurrencies have a ~4 Year Bear market according to its short historic data. If this occurs again we can look for more despair in the markets. The cryptocurrency market maximizes emotions with its huge swings in price. In the past, we called the last bear markets (2017 BTC 5K, 2020 BTC 10K & Other altcoins) & warned of sell-offs during the bull market (ETH 4K & BTC 60K). Every time emotions hit an all-time high. We have already started entering positions for our long-term portfolio (which can be seen in our others posts). We also are preparing our long-term portfolio for all outcomes of the financial markets (you can view a breakdown of the plan in a past post). Investing in the cryptocurrency bear markets in the past has created life-changing opportunities.
---Stock Market
The Stock Market is still toying with emotions as well as creating a potential bear trap and is still in a medium-term downward pattern. If the stock market takes another dive downward expect Bitcoin to follow as they are currently correlated. Currently, the SPY has hit a resistance level that could push it back below 400 and into the high 300s. Look for a pattern break to indicate a reversal in both the stock market & cryptocurrency market before looking for a long trade or long positions for your long-term portfolio.
