What is maximum drawdown? Why can a long-term profitable trading strategy still experience an unbearable string of losses?

In cryptocurrency trading, some strategies may generate positive returns over the long term but suffer substantial losses along the way. If traders do not assess in advance how far their account could decline, they may be forced to exit before the strategy has a chance to recover. 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 prev

Ethereum is facing strong selling pressure as ETH drops by 5.5%, bringing fresh attention to the current weakness in the cryptocurrency market. This decline has created uncertainty among traders and investors who are closely watching Ethereum's next move.

Ethereum is one of the most important digital assets in the crypto industry. It plays a major role in decentralized finance, smart contracts, NFTs, and many blockchain applications. Because of its importance, any major price movement in ETH can influence overall market sentiment.

Over ten hours, $INTC made two moves in exactly the same direction.
The first came during the first hour of U.S. stock trading: two candles dumped ten million contracts.
The price slid from 57.74 to 50.49, finishing the day at -12.6%.
Ten million contracts—that’s someone clearing out.
The second took just four million contracts to give back that early-morning rebound, and then some.
Volume was down 60%, but the price fell even harder.
The order book is thin. It’s not that someone wants to dump; no one’s willing to catch it.
After the close, it recovered, climbing eight points over eight hours

Crypto Market Under Pressure: Macro Selloff or Internal Liquidity Stress?

Crypto is facing pressure from two directions at the same time. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP have all moved lower as global risk appetite weakened, but the decline is exposing something deeper: the crypto market's own liquidity and positioning conditions are not particularly strong either.

I would not treat this as just another temporary reaction to falling technology stocks.

The macro connection is becoming harder to ignore

90.5 resistance worked precisely, and the short target was successfully hit
The morning call suggested shorting at 90.3–90.5. The price rose to 90.54 intraday before meeting resistance and pulling back. It has now fallen below the first target of 89.2, with the decline fully in line with expectations.
#美股史诗级抛售
The broader bearish trend remains unchanged; the rebound is just a window to enter short positions at higher levels.
The next support below is around 88.5. If the price continues to break lower, follow the trend and look for new lows.

After dipping to 88.22 overnight, the market entered an oversold recovery phase. The broader bearish trend remains unchanged, and rebounds are still under pressure with further downside potential. Prioritize shorting rallies, supplemented by short-term longs at support.
#美股史诗级抛售
- Support: 88.8-89.0, around 88.2
- Resistance: 90.3-90.5, 90.8-91.0
- Shorts: Enter in batches on a rebound to 90.3-90.5, stop-loss at 91.2, initial target 89.2, then 88.5 if support breaks
- Short-term longs: If price stabilizes after retesting 88.8-89.0, consider a small long position, stop-loss at 88.2, target 89.8-90.2

The US Nonfarm Payrolls report is one of the most important economic events for global financial markets. Investors, traders, and financial experts closely watch this report because it provides a clear picture of employment growth and the overall strength of the United States economy.

Nonfarm Payrolls measures the number of jobs added or lost in the United States during the previous month, excluding agricultural employment and certain other categories. This information helps investors understand whether businesses are expanding, hiring more workers, or b

What Is the Risk-Reward Ratio? Why Can a Trade Have Long-Term Value Even With a Low Win Rate, As Long As Risk Is Managed Properly?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus too much on win rate, believing they need to make frequent correct calls to make money. But what really affects long-term trading results is not just the win rate, but also the amount gained or lost on each trade. The risk-reward ratio is an important tool that helps traders assess whether a trade is worth taking.

First, what is the risk-reward ratio?

The risk-reward ratio generally compares a trade’s potential loss w

Plenty of Solidity teams want Solana’s users, but the thing that usually stops them is having to rebuild the whole app in a new language, and that’s the exact gap @RomeProtocol closes.
Rome runs the EVM right inside Solana, so contracts written for Ethereum can go live there as they are, and Compound and Aave are already running on Rome’s testnet with their code untouched.
Once you’re there, MetaMask and Phantom users share the same app, and your contracts can tap into Solana apps like Jupiter in a single transaction.
So if you’re a Solidity team that’s wanted Solana but not the rewrite, this

I used to constantly remind myself that if my forecast called for two V-reversals, I’d stop posting short-term analysis here and focus only on the long-term outlook.
But I was young and hotheaded, unable to let go of my conviction or swallow my pride. Once again, I’ve put myself in a position I didn’t want to be in.
If things here go the way I think they will, there’ll be three more V-reversals! That would make four V-reversals in total in the short term!!!!
But fuck it, this is my call. #btc

Asia-Pacific Stocks Are in a Sharp Sell-Off: What Is Driving the Plunge, How Far It Has Gone, and Where Stability Could Come From

Asia-Pacific equity markets have entered one of their sharpest sell-offs of the past several weeks. On Friday, November 6, 2026, the region opened with heavy losses, and the move was far larger than the declines seen in the sessions of November 4 and 5. Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's KOSPI led the fall, with chip and AI-linked stocks taking the heaviest damage. Taiwan, Singapore and mainland China also declined, while Ho

$XRP is showing signs of selling pressure after a $9.603K long liquidation around $1.1943. This suggests leveraged buyers are being forced out, potentially creating room for another downside liquidity sweep. Buyers need to defend demand and reclaim nearby resistance before a meaningful recovery can develop.
Support: $1.1800 – $1.1900
Resistance: $1.2100 – $1.2250
Next Target: $1.1600
A breakdown below support could accelerate bearish momentum, while a strong reclaim of resistance would signal improving buyer strength. Patience matters—wait for confirmation.

U.S. stocks suffered a sharp selloff on Thursday, with the Nasdaq closing down more than 5% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index falling over 12%. AI and chip stocks including $NVDA and $AMD were hit especially hard. Markets are reassessing AI valuations, data-center spending and future returns. Is this just short-term deleveraging, or the start of a deeper correction in the AI trade? Which sectors are you watching next?
