In the cryptocurrency market, many people look for trading opportunities every day, but few take the time to make a trading plan. They go long when they see BTC rising and short when they see the price falling. When the market moves slightly against them, they start doubting their judgment. This kind of planless trading can easily lead to repeated losses.

So, what should an effective trading plan include?

First, define your trading direction. Before entering a trade, analyze whether the market is rising, falling, or ranging. Don’t decide based on a single candlestick.

Second, identify your

A blood-soaked cry: the rises make your heart pound, and the drops make you wish you were dead!

In the current market, that’s still a long way off, and being worse than dead is even farther away, so shorting on rallies is your

Over the past 24 hours, the entire crypto derivatives market underwent a sharp round of deleveraging. $BTC Liquidations totaled $1.65 billion, forcing 187,000 traders to close their positions. Longs accounted for 87.9% (about $1.45 billion), while shorts accounted for just $199 million. Looking at BTC alone, liquidations totaled $920 million, or 55.7% of the market total; longs accounted for $872 million, or 94.9%.
The bulk of liquidations occurred in a 12-hour window: $1.08 billion, including $947 million in longs. In the past 4 hours, liquidations totaled just $31.2 million, with shorts at

BTC is now around 69,300; go long, target around 72,000, with a stop-loss at the new low.
BTC fell nearly 7,000 points today, and the bears have nearly exhausted their strength. The bearish news has also been fully priced in.
There are also signs that the decline is stopping.
I said this morning that after such a big drop, a rebound could come at any time. Now the rebound is here, so let's just take this leg.

$XAUUSD ‌
Looking at the 1H chart, the market structure is currently in a corrective consolidation phase following a prior downtrend. Price recently swept liquidity to the downside, bottoming out at a swing low of 3,852.52, before forming a base and attempting a recovery. The K-line analysis shows a shift from heavy bearish momentum into a choppy, range-bound environment, with price now hovering around 3,897.21, attempting to establish support above the WMA5 (3,897.96) and WMA10 (3,902.61).

The recent price action prints a series of small-bodied candles with wicks on both sides, suggesting i

Many traders analyzing BTC price action focus only on candlesticks and trading volume, while overlooking a very important metric: order book depth.

The order book records the number of buy and sell orders at different price levels in the market, helping us observe the current state of buy and sell orders.

So, how should you read order book depth?

First, observe the size of the bids and asks. If there are many buy orders in a certain price range, that area may have potential buying support; if a large number of sell orders cluster above, they may create short-term price pressure.

Second, wa

$AKE This market maker has really left me at a loss for words. I went in with $10,000 at 5x leverage, and they somehow dragged me into a $20,000 loss. With the daily chart looking like this, who would dare short? At this point, is there any way for the bears to survive? I give up. I can't hold on anymore—I’m cutting my losses and getting out.
$BARD I told you this morning: hold steady and don’t let go. There’s definitely going to be a 200-point explosive rally this week that buries all the shorts. With a $1,000 position at 10x leverage, I’ve already raked in $1,000 just from funding fees, an

$AGT Down 29.6% in a day, crashing from 0.0868 to 0.0461 and now at 0.0505—I've seen this kind of crash too many times. The opportunities that can really make money are often hidden in the second wave of panic.
First, my position: I bought a tiny 5% starter position around 0.052 this morning. I'm currently down about 3%, with a stop-loss at 0.0458 (below today's low). I'll hold as long as it stays above that level. This small loss barely registers against my overall position because I entered in stages instead of going all in.

Why Can More Frequent Trading Cause Your Account to Shrink Faster?

In the cryptocurrency market, many traders watch candlestick charts every day, afraid of missing any rise or fall. Whenever prices move, they want to enter the market; after making a small profit, they look for the next opportunity, and after a loss, they rush to trade again.

They may seem diligent, yet their accounts can shrink without them noticing.

The problem is that more trades do not necessarily mean more profit opportunities.

First, trading costs keep adding up. Every buy and sell may incur fees, and the actual execu

Why Do You Always Call the Direction Right but Still Fail to Make Money?

In crypto trading, there is a particularly frustrating situation:

You correctly predict that BTC will rise, but end up making no money; you spot a downtrend in advance, yet your account still takes a loss.

Why do you still fail to make money even when you get the direction right?

In fact, predicting the direction is only one part of trading. What really determines the outcome also includes your entry price, position size, stop-loss settings, and execution discipline.

First, timing your entry is crucial. Suppose BTC r

The PPI Trap: Why Crypto Could Move in the Opposite Direction After the Inflation Report

Crypto markets do not always react to economic data in the way traders expect. Sometimes a number looks positive on the surface, but Bitcoin still falls. Other times, inflation remains high, yet the market starts recovering. That is why the October U.S. Producer Price Index deserves more attention than just checking whether the headline number is green or red.

The October PPI report is scheduled for November 13, and the market is looking for a 0.4% monthly increase in headline producer prices. Core PPI,

What Is Market Depth? How Can You Tell Whether the Order Book Can Handle Your Trade Size?

In crypto trading, many people look at price and trading volume first, but overlook a metric that directly affects trade execution: market depth.

Market depth can help us understand how many buy and sell orders are available at different price levels, and how prices might change when the market faces a trade of a certain size.

First, what exactly is market depth?

In an order book, buy orders are usually distributed across different price levels below the current market price, while sell orders are dis

Why Can a High-Win-Rate Trading Strategy Still End Up Losing Money?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people pay close attention to their win rate. Winning eight out of ten consecutive trades seems quite impressive. But if the account is still in the red overall, the problem may not be the win rate, but how much each trade gains or loses.

Suppose a trader makes 10 trades, winning 8 of them and earning 10 USDT per winning trade; the other 2 trades lose 50 USDT each.

The 8 winning trades bring in 80 USDT, while the 2 losing trades result in a 100 USDT loss. Even without accounting for fees and

What does it mean when price falls, trading volume increases, and OI rises at the same time?

In the crypto derivatives market, if prices keep falling while trading volume increases and open interest (OI) also rises, many traders will immediately conclude that bears are dominating the market and the decline may continue.

This interpretation has some value, but it should not be treated as a definitive trading signal. The combination of these three indicators needs to be understood in the context of market structure and actual trading activity.

First, what does a price decline mean?

A price d

$BTC Evening outlook: 11.13.

You got completely thrown off by this drop in $BTC , right? Are you all afraid to go long now? Don’t be confused—just keep buying spot. As long as you believe it won’t go to zero, keep buying spot in batches.

Has BTC stopped falling for now? The first bottoming signal has appeared in the area marked by the white box below. This bullish engulfing pattern indicates a rebound is needed at the current timeframe.
