When everyone is using similar strategies, does the original edge still exist?

In trading markets, there is a change that is easy to overlook.

A strategy may have performed exceptionally well for a long time. It has clear entry conditions, a good win rate, and a relatively stable returns curve. But over time, more and more traders begin using similar indicators, the same breakout logic, and even similar stop-loss and take-profit rules. The method that once worked gradually loses its edge.

At this point, many people’s first reaction is: Have the parameters stopped working? Should the indicat

What is maximum drawdown? Why can a consistently profitable trading strategy still experience a series of losses that is difficult to withstand?

In cryptocurrency trading, some strategies may be profitable over the long term but experience substantial losses along the way. If traders do not assess in advance how far their account could fall, they may be forced to exit before the strategy recovers. Maximum drawdown is an important metric for measuring this risk.

First, what is maximum drawdown?

Maximum drawdown (MDD) is the largest percentage decline in an account’s net value from a previous

November 6, 2026 (Friday) BTC Futures Strategy for Today (based on the current range of approximately $75,300–$75,700)
Core view (bearish bias, cautious on rebounds)
BTC quickly fell from around $80,500 to around $75,500, breaking below recent support, with weak short-term momentum. Today, prioritize watching for a rebound to stall as a short opportunity, or consider going long only after a retest of lower support. Keep positions light.
Specific Strategies
1. Short the rebound (primary strategy)
• Watch zone: $76,500–$77,500 (or near $78,000)

BTC Market Cycle Analysis: How to Identify the Different Stages of Bull and Bear Markets?

In the BTC market, many investors are accustomed to judging market conditions based on short-term price movements, while overlooking a more important question: Which stage of the market cycle are we currently in? Understanding market cycles can help traders develop better strategies instead of using the same trading approach at every stage.

First, the accumulation phase. After a downturn, prices gradually stabilize, market interest is low, and trading volume may be relatively subdued. This phase is usua

1. Background trend: Yesterday, oversold conditions in U.S. stocks triggered panic selling, with an intraday decline of over 20%. The current move is only an oversold rebound; the downtrend has not yet been effectively repaired.

2. View: Do not blindly buy the dip at this stage. The falling candlesticks in the chart came with increased volume, and selling pressure remains persistent; overhead resistance from trapped holders is heavy. After this oversold rebound, prices may retest the lows and complete a bottoming shakeout. For the medium to long term,

I. The takeaway first
BTC had just moved above 80000 yesterday, but today it was pushed back down near 75000; ETH also fell all the way from 2450 to around 2200.
This is not an ordinary minor pullback, but a sudden reversal in market risk sentiment. The most dangerous move right now is to rush in and buy the dip just because prices have fallen a lot.
As of publication, BTC was around 75600, with a 24-hour high of 80790 and low of 75200, down more than 6%; ETH was around 2225, with a high of 2434 and low of 2206, down more than 8%.
