In BTC trading, which suits you better: trend-following or counter-trend trading?

There are two very common trading strategies in BTC trading: trend-following and counter-trend trading. Some people like to follow the market trend, looking for opportunities to go long when prices rise and to go short when they fall; others prefer to look for market reversals after prices have risen or fallen sharply. So, what exactly is the difference between these two approaches?

First, trend-following: follow the market’s primary direction. The core of trend-following is identifying the current trend and lo

Support and resistance are the most fundamental and practical concepts in technical analysis. Many traders study candlesticks and indicators every day, yet overlook an important question: At which price levels are buying and selling pressures likely to shift?

First, support is an area where buying pressure may increase as prices fall. When the price approaches this level, some buyers may start entering the market, slowing the decline. But support does not mean the price definitely will not break below it.

Second, resistance is an area where selling pressure may increase as prices rise. When

The two forms unite, dividing motion from stillness; where one mind abides, the mean is attained.
It takes in every tiny scrap, leaving nothing wasted; it shuns no coarse grain, its virtue all-embracing.
Do not say its stubborn old body is hard to turn; once turning, it can still serve up a thousand measures.

Is BTC Suitable for Dollar-Cost Averaging? Use Time for a More Measured Investment Pace!

In the cryptocurrency market, many people hope to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. But in reality, even experienced investors find it difficult to accurately predict every market turn. Some make a lump-sum purchase and then face a major drawdown, while others keep waiting for a lower price and ultimately miss a long-term rally.

So, is BTC suitable for dollar-cost averaging?

First, it reduces the difficulty of timing the market. The biggest feature of dollar-cost averaging is investing in installme

How much should you lose on a single trade? Control risk systematically to achieve stable long-term profits!

In crypto futures trading, many people spend every day studying when BTC will rise or fall, but rarely take the time to calculate one thing: if this trade goes wrong, how much of a loss can they actually afford?

In reality, over the long term, predicting market direction is only part of the equation. Risk management is what determines whether an account can survive over time.

First, set your risk per trade in advance. You can use 1% of your account balance as your risk budget for a s

In BTC trading, many people see several large bullish candles in a row and assume the uptrend is fully established. Worried about missing out, they rush to buy. But consecutive gains do not mean every price is a good entry point. Sometimes, the faster the rally, the more wary you need to be of a short-term pullback.

Why isn't it always a good idea to chase prices after several large bullish candles in a row?

First, the price may have moved beyond a reasonable level. After consecutive gains, the short-term price may have moved far from the moving average. The market needs time to digest its p

【This Week’s Trading Review】

11.9—11.13, this week’s five trading days have come to a close.

Overall, the market was mainly range-bound, with bullish and bearish momentum shifting quickly along the way. I adjusted my approach promptly to suit different market conditions, without blindly chasing rallies or fixating on a one-way view.

I recorded 24 entries and exits this week, with 22 producing positive results, for steady overall progress. Bitcoin gained a total of 13,923 points, and Ethereum gained 484 points.

Throughout the process, I stuck to one principle: adjust promptly when the direc

11.14 ETH Trading Setup

ETH is in a downtrend dominated by bears. The Bollinger Bands are opening downward, and the price is trading below the middle band overall. The recent rebound after bottoming at 1875 is a weak recovery within the downtrend. The key resistance is in the 1925-1935 range, where the Bollinger middle band converges with resistance from the previous support breakdown and support-to-resistance flip. Strong resistance is at 1950-1960, corresponding to the Bollinger upper band and the previous rebound high, making this a high-probability area for the rebound to face pressure. T

Recently, I’ve noticed that quite a few people are still worried about the positions they hold.

During a BTC Pullback, How Can You Tell a Normal Correction from a Trend Reversal?

In BTC trading, one of the most common mistakes is treating every decline as a trend reversal. As soon as the price pulls back, people rush to close positions or even open short positions. But sometimes the market is simply undergoing a normal correction during an uptrend, after which the price strengthens again.

So, how can you distinguish a normal pullback from a genuine trend reversal?

First, observe the structure of highs and lows. In a healthy uptrend, the price usually forms progressively higher highs a

In cryptocurrency trading, there is a very common phenomenon: many people are always in a hurry to close their positions when they are making a profit, but once they start losing, they are unwilling to cut their losses.

Why does this happen?

First, when people are in profit, they fear that the gains they have already made will disappear. As soon as the price pulls back a little, they worry the trend is reversing and sell early. As a result, trades that could have generated much greater returns end up making only a little.

Second, when they are losing, people are often unwilling to admit tha
