What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Do You Measure Whether the Returns from a Trading Strategy Are Worth the Risk?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high return does not necessarily mean a strategy is good. If a strategy can generate high returns but comes with sharp volatility and significant drawdowns, we need to assess whether those returns are worth the risk involved. The Sharpe ratio is one tool that can help answer this question.

Don’t wait for the wind to change. Trade within a range and lower your cost in stages, gradually easing the pressure on your position by sticking to rules.
Many people get stuck on the need to break even, always hoping to escape in one big rebound. The longer they hold on, the more passive they become. The key to getting out is to turn static holdings into dynamic positions, repeatedly trading around support and resistance to reduce your cost—not betting on a one-way move.
The market doesn’t owe you a rebound; all you can rely on is a response plan you can control.
Going forward, as always: se

November 5 $ETH Market Update
ETH’s rebound has been somewhat stronger than expected.
On the 4-hour chart, ETH has rebounded steadily from around 2172. It was capped near 2300 several times before, but this time it surged on heavy volume, reaching a high of 2449.
It is now consolidating around 2420, and I think the short-term structure has improved significantly. The most important thing next is whether it can break through 2450.
If it holds above that level, the next targets could be 2500–2525; for now, watch whether 2400 holds.
Democrats won both chambers of Congress, and the market had ini

November 4 $ETH Market Update
Yesterday, we advised watching support around 2220. This morning, the price fell to a low of 2225, close to that support, then rebounded to around 2266, but the market has yet to stabilize.
On the 1-hour timeframe, clear resistance formed around 2318. A second rebound to around 2310 failed to break through, with heavy selling pressure overhead. Although the price is rebounding now, the highs continue to move lower, and the short-term trend has not strengthened.
Preliminary results from the U.S. midterm elections have also put some pressure on the market. Democrats made gains in several key districts, but control of both chambers remains to be confirmed. BTC also fell to around 75700, and overall market sentiment is cautious.
Liquidation data shows ETH has broken above $2,359, with cumulative short liquidation intensity across major CEXs at about $776 million;
If it falls below $2,136, long liquidation intensity would be about $381 million. These are estimates only and do not mean the price will necessarily reach that level.
Trading advice: The key short-term support zone is 2220-2230. Holding above it keeps the rebound outlook intact; if it breaks, the price may retest around 2170 or continue falling.
The short-term upside target is 2280, with strong resistance in the 2300-2318 zone. Stay cautious and do not chase longs before a decisive break above resistance.
Those holding low-entry long positions can continue to hold and monitor the market, reducing positions as appropriate if the price rebounds into the resistance zone;
Those who have not entered should wait patiently for the price to stabilize after a retest or for a breakout above resistance before taking action.

US Midterms 2026: The Election Is Over, But the Real Market Test Starts Now
The US midterm election results have changed the political landscape, but I do not believe one election can decide the market direction for the next several months. Democrats have secured control of both chambers of Congress, while Republicans retain the White House. This creates a divided government. In my view, the next phase will be driven less by political headlines and more by earnings, economic data, interest rates, regulation, capital spending and the ability of companies to turn demand into r

What Is Out-of-Sample Testing? Why Can Data Not Used to Optimize a Strategy Better Test Its True Capabilities?
In cryptocurrency trading, a strategy may perform well in historical backtests yet quickly fail in new market conditions. The problem may not necessarily lie in the trading logic itself; the strategy may also be overfitted to the historical data used for optimization. Out-of-sample testing is an important way to identify this issue.
First, what is out-of-sample testing?
Out-of-sample testing means using data that was not involved in strategy development or parameter optimization to in

Nov. 5, Thursday afternoon — Zhongling's Gold Outlook
Gold prices strengthened this round, driven by several positive factors. On the one hand, a weaker dollar and lower U.S. Treasury yields provided upward momentum; meanwhile, continued gold purchases by global central banks offered support, geopolitical risk aversion had not fully faded, and bullish capital kept flowing in. Gold surged strongly this morning.
Gold prices climbed steadily in the morning, successively breaking through several previous resistance levels at 4080, 4100, and 4140. But after reaching around 4146, gains slowed and pr

What Is a Range Trading Strategy? Why Might It Be More Suitable in a Sideways Market, Yet Risky During a Strong Trend Breakout?
In cryptocurrency trading, prices do not always keep rising or falling. When the market lacks a clear direction and prices repeatedly fluctuate within a certain range, a range trading strategy may be useful. But once the price truly breaks out of the range, the original trading logic may quickly become invalid.
First, what is a range trading strategy?
Range trading involves identifying support and resistance zones where prices repeatedly fluctuate, looking for buying

After plunging 19.12% in 24h, the price at 62.08 remains capped below MA5 (61.30) and MA20 (64.90), and the bearish moving-average alignment has not reversed; RSI is only 39.0, while the MACD histogram remains negative at -0.175, indicating a weak rebound rather than a reversal. On the funding side, the 30-candle range is as high as 31.44%, with clear signs of leverage being flushed out by sharp wicks.

$BTC $1.424 billion in liquidity is clustered below! The key zone is right around $79,900. There’s also $102 million above at $81,500! The liquidity below is nearly 14 times larger than above. Could we see a sweep below first, followed by a counterattack? The liquidity data shows about $1.424 billion clustered below BTC near $79,900, while about $102 million sits above near $81,500—a clear gap between the two sides. In the short term, it’s worth watching whether selling pressure triggers a further sweep as the price approaches $79,900, and whether buyers can step in in time. With more position
