What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Can You Measure Whether a Trading Strategy’s Returns 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. The Sharpe ratio is one tool that can help answer this question.
First, what is the Sharpe ratio?
The Sharpe ratio measures the excess return earned by a portfolio or trading strategy per unit of volatility risk. Generally, a higher value indicates be

⚖️ OFAC has once again extended the freeze on Citgo: the auction is on hold until December 18.
There have now been 28 extensions since the original license. No one gets paid yet, and no one loses yet: a technical stalemate renewed every few weeks, leaving uncertainty as the case’s main asset.
But the most important detail isn’t the extension itself, but a clarification from OFAC: the agency hinted that it could authorize specific licenses allowing holders of PDVSA 2020 bonds to negotiate restructurings or refinancings, even separately from the guarantee tied to Citgo.
It’s the first sign in ye

Bitcoin bounced after testing the liquidity and is now testing the resistance area. A close above this resistance zone will lead to more upward movement in the market.

What Is the Funding Rate? Why Can Perpetual Contracts Continue to Incur Holding Costs Even When Prices Show No Significant Change?
In crypto trading, many people focus only on price movements after opening a position and overlook the funding rate. For perpetual contract traders, even if prices move sideways for an extended period, holding a position may still generate additional costs or returns as long as the funding rate is nonzero.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a mechanism for periodic payments between long and short positions in perpetual contracts, designed to keep

One thing I genuinely appreciate about what is happening in Enugu is the deliberate effort to position the state for the future.
I came across this update from the Enugu SME Center, and I think it deserves attention.
At the Southeast Blockchain & Games Week 2026, the Enugu MSME & Startup Agency joined developers, founders and creatives working to advance Africa’s Web3 and gaming ecosystem. The agency also participated in discussions on how African innovations can gain more visibility on the global stage.
But beyond the event, what interests me is the bigger picture.

Let’s look at crude oil again. It has fallen sharply, so it’s even more important to assess the strength of the rebound.
On the hourly chart, the price has temporarily found support near 86.6, but the rebound remains weak and the pattern of consecutive declines has not changed. A short-term recovery is needed, but it’s still too early to call a bottom.
The outlook remains bearish, with resistance in the 88.5–90 area in focus. If the price rebounds to this area but cannot hold above it, another pullback remains a risk; if it can hold above 90, the short-term assessment will need to be revised.

After eleven years of trading and more than a year of reflection, I have returned to the platform. I have publicly achieved returns of over 10000% in live trading countless times before. Perhaps that was luck, but this time, with the experience and technical skills I’ve built up over the years, along with patience and a steady approach, I’m determined to prove myself again and achieve 10000% in live trading.
Record: November 5, 2026.

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 move steadily up or down. 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 buyin

$NEAR Currently at 4.026, 24H -0.45% (3.965–4.273). 1H is relatively strong: RSI 55.81, with the current price above the 1H EMA20 at 4.0248; 4H is relatively weak: RSI 61.08, with the current price below the 4H EMA20 at 4.0271. The 1H volume ratio is 0.016, indicating very low participation. If the price holds above the 4.273 resistance level, watch for continuation; if it breaks below the 3.965 support level, it may weaken in the short term. In the next review, check whether 4.273 holds and whether the price can recover after losing 3.965. The two timeframes remain divergent, and short-term c

Yesterday, Bitcoin surged nearly 6,000 points.
The key catalysts were a sharp increase in optimism around crypto-friendly regulation, a short squeeze, and a recovery in dollar liquidity.
The trend has turned bullish, with price now above all short- and medium-term moving averages and breaking out of the descending channel.
This consolidation is not a pullback from a market top, but a pause in the uptrend. The price is likely to push higher again.
Trading plan
Go long on a pullback to 790–805.
Add to the position on a deeper pullback to 790.
Target around 812, then look toward 825.
