What are support and resistance levels? Why do these price zones influence traders’ decisions, yet are not absolutely reliable boundaries?

In crypto trading, prices often repeatedly bounce or pull back in certain zones. Traders usually call these zones support and resistance levels. They can help analyze market structure, but they do not guarantee that prices will bounce or reverse.

First, what are support and resistance levels?

A support level is a zone where buying pressure may increase and a price decline may temporarily slow; a resistance level is a zone where selling pressure may incre

US Jobless Claims Rise Above Expectations — A Cooling Labor Market Could Complicate the Fed’s Next Move

The latest US employment data introduces another important variable into an already complicated economic environment. Initial jobless claims increased to 200,000, exceeding market expectations of 194,000. Although the difference is relatively small, the reading adds to signs that the American labor market may gradually be losing some momentum.

However, the bigger picture requires careful interpretation. At 200,000 claims, unemployment filings remain histor

Bitcoin is falling, and dominance is falling too.
Friends, Bitcoin dominance bounced from 61.10 on Thursday and fell to 60.10 on Friday morning. It dropped below the rising support line in place since late September.
This means Bitcoin is falling, but altcoins are falling less than Bitcoin. On Friday morning, Bitcoin fell 3.6%, while Solana fell 1.8%, XRP fell 1.2%, and Pepe was in the green.
If the daily close comes below the line, the 58.19 level I marked on the chart will be the target. This means altcoins are strengthening against Bitcoin. It does not mean they are rising in

What is statistical arbitrage? How can historical relationships between assets be used to identify trading opportunities, and why might historical correlations suddenly break down?

In the cryptocurrency market, some assets have displayed similar price movements over long periods. When their historical relationship temporarily diverges, traders may try to capitalize on that divergence. This is the basic idea behind statistical arbitrage, but historical patterns do not guarantee future repetition.

First, what is statistical arbitrage?

Statistical arbitrage is a type of trading strategy that u

The fear index plunged to 20, and the market couldn’t even manage one decent relief bounce.

What Is the Long/Short Ratio? Why Doesn’t a Higher Number of Longs Mean the Market Will Definitely Rise?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people see the long/short ratio rise and assume bullish sentiment is strengthening, then choose to go long. But market sentiment does not always align with actual price movements. The long/short ratio can help us understand traders’ position bias, but it cannot directly determine how the market will move next.

First, what is the long/short ratio?

The long/short ratio measures the relative proportion of long and short positions in a particular market. Howev

New York Fed President John Williams sees further rate hikes as likely: the economy is strong and inflation remains persistent.

Why can forced liquidations make a market decline even worse?

In crypto markets, prices sometimes just start to fall, then suddenly drop much further. A large number of positions are forcibly liquidated, more sell orders enter the market, and prices fall further, triggering a series of sharp moves.

Behind this may be a market mechanism known as a “liquidation cascade.”

First, leverage amplifies the impact of price movements on accounts.

When using leverage, traders only need to put up a portion of the margin to open a larger position. As a result, the same price movement typically has a gr

The market structure has recently shifted from a sustained bullish uptrend to a corrective bearish phase. Price formed a local peak at 73.28 and aggressively sold off, breaking below the middle Bollinger Band (MB: 71.27). However, the most critical structural event is the price action around 10:30, where the price pierced the lower Bollinger Band (LB: 70.01) and wicked down to a low of 69.90. Since that dip, the K-lines show a change in character: the price has rejected the lower boundary and is now printing higher lows, consolidating back toward the mid-band. The volume profile confirm

SOL’s downside thesis from this morning’s outlook played out across the board, with the market blowing straight through the take-profit target.
The morning call gave a high-short setup at 81.5–82.0. Price peaked at 81.07 before promptly pulling back, then fell to 77.83. The levels were pinpoint accurate, and the downside far exceeded expectations.
True market intuition means knowing the resistance and support levels inside out: where price will turn and where it will break—all under control. #sol #黄仁勋辞职

In my view, the area **$70K is becoming an important zone** for observing Bitcoin's movements. I prefer to wait for confirmation rather than rush to buy while the price is still under bearish pressure.

My strategy is to accumulate gradually if a strong reversal signal appears around $70K. However, if BTC manages to hold above $73K again, that could be an early confirmation that bullish momentum is starting to return.

For me, protecting capital is far more important than chasing opportunities. Don't FOMO; stay disciplined with risk management.

Why Do Stop-Losses Keep Getting Hit? You May Be Overlooking Normal Market Volatility

Have you ever experienced this: you set a stop-loss, and the price quickly drops to trigger it; then, after you exit, the market starts moving in the direction you originally expected.

After this happens a few times, some traders start to wonder whether the market is deliberately targeting their stop-loss levels.

But what may be more worth examining is the stop-loss logic itself.

First, does the stop-loss distance match the level of volatility?

Price fluctuations vary significantly across different assets
