As you've probably figured by now, the markets are super volatile, which means you're likely to see it go up and down quite frequently.

This means that there are many opportunities to buy and sell your investments...

Why do we mention this?

Because many investors, especially anyone who has only just started their journey, will be feeling all kinds of emotions when looking at the red market. But don't worry, this happens often... And that isn't to scare you, but to let you know that your emotions will be all over the place when things are going horrible, but also when the green candles of dreams are sending your investments into space. However, there is always one aspect that matters more than anything else.

Profits. Profits. Profits.

And while it may be daunting to take profits, with the fear of your investments going up even further, if you never take profits, you never actually win. Which leads us to the next question...

When do we take profits?

Sadly, there is no one-answer fits all here. It is completely up to you. What we can say though, is take profits where you can, and if the profits are life changing, you could regret not taking them when you get the chance. And trust, it happens very often. So, if you don't already have a profit taking plan, we HIGHLY suggest you make one, as this bull market is fast reacting, which gives you less time to decide. This doesn't mean you have to take 100% profits, but securing some where you can is better than not seeing any at all, right?

And hey... the markets may see a drop like we are witnessing now and you could even reinvest those profits. But it all starts with profit taking, so don't marry your investments, be strategic and let's all make some money!

๐Ÿ“Š Today in markets

It appears that the red river is back for the market currently, and the bleeding is rough.

But are we about to drop further, or is a move to the upside on the cards? The good news is that there is still a lot of bullish momentum and that is after the biggest outflow of Bitcoin ETFs we have seen since their arrival. Which is great news.

So, what can we expect next?

It seems this drop was not unexpected, but we could still drop further to around the $63k area, which is not ideal... However, there is a good chance we bounce back and head for the $80k area soon too, which means this could be a great buying opportunity if that plays out. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, so be cautious and only invest what you can afford to lose.

Remember, this is a long ride and there will be bumps along the way, so don't FOMO and try to have a plan so that we can all profit during this long awaited bull run.

๐Ÿ“‰ Market to crash further?

This week marks the start of the Nvidia conference, yet the markets are not happy.

Is this a flush out before moving higher? That may just be what we are seeing right now, as the halving is also fast approaching with just 30 days until the historic event occurs. And with the Nvidia conference already under way, many were expecting AI tokens to explode... But right now it appears that is not the case and the market is slowly being forced downwards.

There is so good news though...

The overall sentiment is high and this drop is expected to recover and test new all-time highs again, but for now, it seems we need to hold on tight and try not to panic. We knew this bull run was going to be exciting but there are also painful moments too and we have to overcome them to reach the good parts. And right now, we are in the not so good part of the the journey...

So buckle up, as this won't be easy, and we will be here twice a week trying to help navigate you through it the best we can.

๐Ÿซฃ A quick TA (technical analysis) on BTC price action

In partnership with our friends over at ChartAI we've generated a TA for you, also known as a technical analysis, looking at the BTC/USD trading pair on a daily timeframe, ranging from the start of the year up until now.

Technical Analysis for BITFINEX:BTC/USD on D timeframe

Technical Analysis Overview

The chart shows that after a significant uptrend, price action has recently formed a pullback. To determine market sentiment (bullish or bearish), we need to consider the price movement's structure, including the size and pattern of the candlesticks, as well as any support or resistance levels.

Based on the most recent candles, we notice a sequence of long red (bearish) candlesticks indicating selling pressure. However, the larger context of a previous uptrend should be considered before concluding that the market has turned bearish.

Potential Trading Strategy

Given that this analysis is based on historical data and is for educational purposes only, here is a hypothetical trading strategy.

  • Identify Key Levels: Look at the candlestick lows and highs to determine potential support and resistance levels. For instance, the previous swing high might act as a resistance around the $68,000 mark, while the recent low may form a support level near $64,000.

  • Waiting for Confirmation: Before entering a trade, wait for a bullish reversal pattern as a confirmation that the pullback is ending and the overall uptrend may continue. This could be a bullish engulfing pattern or a hammer candlestick forming on a significant support level.

  • Potential Entry Point: If bullish signals are confirmed, a potential entry could be set above the high of the confirming candlestick, ensuring the market is moving in the desired direction.

  • Stop Loss and Take Profit: A stop loss could be placed below the recent swing low or the support level to protect the trade from unexpected downtrends. The take profit level could be set near the previous swing high or an equivalent risk-reward ratio.

Conclusion and Next Steps

While the recent price action on the BTC/USD pair shows bearish signs in the short term, the overall bullish trend should not be ignored. Traders might consider waiting for a strong bullish reversal signal before entering long positions. Precise entry and exit points, as well as risk management tactics, need to be defined according to the trader's strategy and risk tolerance.

Please note that this analysis is purely for educational purposes and is not financial advice. The analysis does not reflect current or future market conditions and is a simplified interpretation of the chart. As always, trade with caution!
