Full transcript
- 0:00All right. What's good, YouTube? Back
- 0:02with day 13. Um, today I'mma do just a
- 0:07talking segment. Um, I'm pretty calm and
- 0:09collective. So, if I sound like I'm out
- 0:12of it, I'm not. I'm just calm. Uh, this
- 0:14is like my calm voice. And, uh, yeah,
- 0:17like let's talk. So, for the past couple
- 0:21of months, you guys have been seeing me
- 0:23hit these trades and, you know, just
- 0:25overall breaking them down befores and
- 0:26afters and making so much money and all
- 0:29this and that, right?
- 0:31I just want to say that trading is
- 0:35easier than what you think it is. I I
- 0:37know a lot of people in this world or a
- 0:39lot of people in this space will always
- 0:41make it seem like trading is like this
- 0:43super hard thing to get into, but
- 0:45honestly, it's not, right? Um, but yeah,
- 0:48I choose to, you know, get on this
- 0:50platform, create a platform, and show
- 0:54you guys, you know, this, I wouldn't say
- 0:57this is like the 100% best way to do it,
- 1:00but I definitely will tell you that the
- 1:03way that I trade ICC overall will change
- 1:06your whole perspective in trading. Even
- 1:09though it's the basics, I think people
- 1:11kind of skip over the basics of things.
- 1:13Um, so it's always good to help those
- 1:16that, you know, may overlook things cuz
- 1:19you might overlook something and then I
- 1:21come in and I show you like, "Look, bro,
- 1:23don't even make it this hard. Do it like
- 1:25this cuz it's way easier on your brain."
- 1:28Um, for example. But yeah, just all in
- 1:31all, like these past couple of months,
- 1:32I've been showing you, showing you,
- 1:34showing you, showing you. And now we're
- 1:36getting to a point where it's like, I've
- 1:39shown you so many times, you should have
- 1:41it by now. you should definitely have it
- 1:43by now. Like if you're watching day 13
- 1:45right now,
- 1:47honestly, I would say, bro, you're ready
- 1:49to trade. Like, if you successfully
- 1:52watch 1 through 13,
- 1:55I would definitely say you're ready to
- 1:57start like actually getting into the
- 1:59markets and trading cuz I'm big on
- 2:01people building up. So with me, I don't
- 2:04like when people get into the market
- 2:05with $100, $200, $500, you know, like
- 2:10the old me would have said that, but
- 2:12it's not sustainable. Not everybody has
- 2:14the skill to have that proper risk
- 2:16management and scalability when it comes
- 2:19to that cuz you have to have proper risk
- 2:20management to get you from the low
- 2:22numbers to the high numbers. And then
- 2:23once you get to the high numbers, you
- 2:25have to have uh just overall the mindset
- 2:27of scalability and not being afraid of
- 2:29bigger numbers. But um I'm big on people
- 2:33saving up their capital on the side,
- 2:35having saved income and using that saved
- 2:38up money
- 2:39as their trading capital because when
- 2:42you save up money and you still have
- 2:44active money. So I always recommend
- 2:46people freelance or work a job. I'm
- 2:49never going to tell you not to work a 9
- 2:51to5. That is like the dumbest [ __ ] I've
- 2:54ever heard in my life. I used to love
- 2:56working a 9 to5. Did I like waking up in
- 2:58the morning? No. But I was making money.
- 3:01I was happy. Like in a sense of like,
- 3:04okay, like you know, I'm happy.
- 3:06Now it's probably it probably would
- 3:08change, but who knows? Who knows, right?
- 3:11Things happen for a reason, right? Cuz I
- 3:13know now is way harder than it was a
- 3:15couple years ago. And this is not saying
- 3:18that you should fault yourself for not
- 3:20getting into it years ago, but this is
- 3:23definitely me saying that you have to
- 3:26work twice as harder than you like you
- 3:30have to work twice as harder now than
- 3:32you had back then. So, put more pressure
- 3:36on yourself because if you would have
- 3:39did this a few years ago, it would have
- 3:41been way easier. But we're here now,
- 3:44right? we're talking about right now.
- 3:46You need to go way harder than what
- 3:48you're doing. You need to honestly like
- 3:52[ __ ] what anybody else says with all
- 3:53this like guru [ __ ] about no 9 to fives,
- 3:56bro. Go work your 9 to5, pick up two,
- 3:59start saving up capital. Once you save
- 4:01up that capital, you need to be learning
- 4:03while you're saving up money. Do not
- 4:05touch that money and try to trade with
- 4:07it. Save it to the side. And then once
- 4:10you are finally done learning, when you
- 4:12feel like, okay, I got it. I under I
- 4:14understand it. Practice on demo while
- 4:16you do this. And when you see your
- 4:19stats, and I'm not talking about, oh,
- 4:20you turned the 100k demo account to a
- 4:22million dollars. That that doesn't
- 4:24count. When you see you started with a
- 4:26100k demo account or $1,000 demo account
- 4:29if you want to do realistic$10,000,
- 4:30whatever.
- 4:32You take that $10,000 demo account,
- 4:35$1,000 demo account, build it up for a
- 4:38couple of weeks, couple of months,
- 4:39however long it feels like you need to
- 4:41learn. If you're seeing growth, you're
- 4:44seeing good win rates and good
- 4:46risk-to-reward and all these things,
- 4:48then you jump into your life, right?
- 4:52People misconcrating
- 4:56in the first place. We're making
- 4:58financial decisions. You're making an
- 5:00investment. Um, for me as a swing trader
- 5:04is more of an investment for a long-term
- 5:06idea. Um, trading is just overall you
- 5:09speculating what where the market is
- 5:11going to go and you're putting your
- 5:13money behind your your thought process
- 5:15and your analysis, right? So, most of
- 5:18the trading stuff does come from, you
- 5:21know, just overall like how you look at
- 5:23the charts, how you view the markets,
- 5:25what do you see in the markets, that's
- 5:27you, right? But
- 5:30everything plays a psychological role
- 5:32because the way that you think about the
- 5:34charts is all coming from here.
- 5:38And
- 5:39you know, I don't want to like get off
- 5:41off topic, but I definitely like talking
- 5:45about psychology a lot. So, you're
- 5:46you're definitely like if you're new to
- 5:48the channel, I'm definitely going to
- 5:50talk about a lot of psychology when I
- 5:52can. Um, but
- 5:55everything like the decisions you make
- 5:59you you have to like as a beginner
- 6:01you're probably thinking in your head
- 6:03like dang okay let me get into trading
- 6:05let me try to find a setup so I can get
- 6:07into a trade right now what do I see is
- 6:10the like you're kind of like looking at
- 6:12more of like what's happening now type
- 6:14of thing like for example if we see like
- 6:17the markets is rejecting we'll kind of
- 6:19think in our head oh we should buy this
- 6:21cuz it's rejecting the downside side
- 6:23type of thing. That's kind of how you're
- 6:24thinking. You're not thinking in a sense
- 6:26of like, hm, what could this do in the
- 6:28next a week or two or or a month from
- 6:31now, right? And I think that's what
- 6:34separates a lot of people. Um,
- 6:37like I said, I'm not a lot of I'm not
- 6:39friends with a lot of people in the
- 6:41trading industry. I try not to hang
- 6:43around anybody that you know is in the
- 6:46trading industry and their influences
- 6:48because you know like half the people
- 6:51are not traders in general but you know
- 6:55hey they do they think you know time is
- 6:58coming the time is wrecking for
- 7:00everybody. So like you do people bad or
- 7:02you you you know just overall if you do
- 7:06people wrong if you lie to people like
- 7:08your time is coming. Um but yeah um
- 7:13sorry that I keep saying um I'm just you
- 7:15know thinking thinking and just talking
- 7:17to you guys like this is me raw chilling
- 7:21and just talking to you guys. Uh but
- 7:24what I would definitely say is
- 7:25everything is psychological the way that
- 7:27you think of things as a beginner.
- 7:29You're going to think of things in like
- 7:30you're going to think fast money
- 7:34uh how many trades can I get type of
- 7:36thing. But like as you start to elevate,
- 7:39you start thinking of positions. Like
- 7:41you don't call them trades anymore. It's
- 7:43like more of like here's a position. I'm
- 7:45looking for a good position to put
- 7:47myself in. And you might say that now,
- 7:49but you really don't have like the
- 7:50actual mindset of a position.
- 7:53Positioning yourself is very very
- 7:56important. Um when it comes to pretty
- 7:58much anything, right? So think about it
- 8:01like this, right? when you are playing
- 8:04like a war game an example or a strategy
- 8:07strategy war game or something you
- 8:09always want to put yourself in the best
- 8:11position right anything in life you
- 8:14don't want to put yourself in a messed
- 8:15up position because then you're messed
- 8:17up right you always want to put yourself
- 8:19at a good position right when it comes
- 8:22to going out let me give you an example
- 8:25people go out and go out every day all
- 8:28over the world people go party every
- 8:30single day every single A in this world,
- 8:33somebody is doing some type of party and
- 8:35some type of something, right? With that
- 8:38being said, partying is not bad. I
- 8:41party. You probably party. Maybe you're
- 8:43over it. Who knows, right? We all like
- 8:45to have fun. But there's people out here
- 8:49that like to have fun no matter what
- 8:51their finances are, which is a bad
- 8:53thing. So someone can have their last
- 8:56$100 and then they know they have to pay
- 8:59rent in a few days, but instead they
- 9:01want to go have fun. So they take that
- 9:03$100 and they use the $100, which then
- 9:06puts them in a bad position, right?
- 9:10Okay. Now, person B, so that was person
- 9:13A. Person B has $100, but he wants to go
- 9:18out. instead of going out that week, he
- 9:22chooses to work one more week and then
- 9:25have $200. I'm just making up numbers.
- 9:27These numbers are not realistic, but um
- 9:30next week he has $200 in total. This
- 9:32time he can go out for that week and
- 9:34still have $100 when he gets back,
- 9:37right? Or when he after he has his fund,
- 9:39he still has $100. That's cool, you
- 9:42know? So, with this being said, you
- 9:44always have to think of trading in that
- 9:46way too as well. positioning will
- 9:49definitely come
- 9:51like thinking in the mindset of like
- 9:53positioning and more of just like I need
- 9:55to be in a trade and what where's my
- 9:57entry and stop loss. It's more of like
- 9:59where should I position myself on the
- 10:02chart where I can
- 10:05overall know that the probability of
- 10:08this setup is going to be high and also
- 10:11put myself in a good position where if
- 10:13it doesn't go my way that I can see that
- 10:16clear as day, right? Cuz there's some
- 10:19people that put themselves, let's say,
- 10:21in a late trade. So, they get in pretty
- 10:24late, a late entry, and they might put
- 10:27their stop-loss, which is, you know, a
- 10:30couple points away from their entry, but
- 10:32it doesn't necessarily mean that their
- 10:33trade is wrong. Right? You have to
- 10:35understand something about trading.
- 10:36Trading is about trends and just overall
- 10:39market structure itself. Trends, trends,
- 10:42trends. They're always going to make you
- 10:43the most money ever, whether it's a
- 10:45downtrend or uptrend,
- 10:47right?
- 10:49People have to realize you have to put
- 10:51your risk levels or you have to put your
- 10:54stop-loss levels at points where if it
- 10:58hits your stop-loss, your trend, your
- 11:02trade is invalidated,
- 11:05which then gives you the idea or it
- 11:07gives you the mindset that your
- 11:09positioning was wrong. your your overall
- 11:13idea was wrong. Right? Do not put
- 11:16yourself in a position where you get
- 11:19into a trade and it hits your stop-loss
- 11:20and you still it doesn't break any type
- 11:23of structure to show you that the trend
- 11:25is changing, right? Um also well with
- 11:29this as well. So that was the risk side
- 11:31of it. What about the making money side?
- 11:33If you put yourself in a good position,
- 11:35you have options now. So now you have
- 11:39options. Same way with person B. He went
- 11:43to work the second week. Now he has
- 11:45options. He can either go out this week
- 11:48or work another week and have 300.
- 11:51Right?
- 11:53Trading is the same way. You want to be
- 11:55able to be in a trade and be able to
- 11:57make decisions.
- 11:59Right? Once you get into that trade,
- 12:02you're in this trade and you're overall
- 12:03like, hm, you know, I'm up a pretty
- 12:06decent amount. Price is at my um target
- 12:09level. H I can probably take partials
- 12:12here and then try to see if I can hold
- 12:14for more. Right? That's a decision
- 12:16because you have a good position. You're
- 12:18not worried about,
- 12:21oh, am I going to be at a loss. You're
- 12:23already at your target point. You can
- 12:26make a decision about it based off your
- 12:28position. You might be way like price is
- 12:32probably way past your your entry level
- 12:34now. like you're super in profit because
- 12:38you've been following the trend, right?
- 12:40And that's what I'm going to show you
- 12:41guys today. Um, but yeah, these things
- 12:44really matter. Like when you think of it
- 12:46like this position and I'm going to keep
- 12:49saying that cuz it's one of the biggest
- 12:50things that helped me like instead of
- 12:52thinking of it as like a trade, I just
- 12:54put myself in a good position. So then I
- 12:57can scale out if I want or scale in if I
- 13:00want. I'm not really big on scaling in,
- 13:02but um yeah, scaling out. Um that's one
- 13:07thing. Uh risk is very important. Please
- 13:10stop risking like all your last dollars,
- 13:13bro. Please do not do not get into
- 13:15trading if you have no capital. Please
- 13:17don't get into trading if you have no
- 13:19capital on the side to trade with. You
- 13:21need at least $2,000 to $3,000. Now, I'm
- 13:26USD, so you convert that to however much
- 13:29it is, right? Um, and I say this is
- 13:32because you when you start trading, you
- 13:37don't want to trade your way out of your
- 13:40job, if that makes sense. So, basically
- 13:43what I mean is you don't want to be that
- 13:46guy that uploads his, you know, he
- 13:48deposit his $500, $1,000 every week into
- 13:51a trading account and try to flip it
- 13:54that same week so that way he can
- 13:56probably get up to 10 bands and don't
- 13:58have to go to work next week. No, don't
- 14:00do it that way. Basically, once again,
- 14:03do not deposit trying to trade your way
- 14:06that week out of your job for the next
- 14:09week or however long you think you're
- 14:11going to do it. You should realistically
- 14:13be doing going to work, making a set
- 14:16schedule for yourself. I don't know how
- 14:18your life works, but for me, I worked
- 14:23two jobs. I bought an Apple Watch at the
- 14:26time. I set alerts on Trading View. And
- 14:29when I set alerts on Trading View, the
- 14:31alerts would come up on my phone. I
- 14:33would or come up on my watch, I would
- 14:35pull out my phone and I would be like,
- 14:37"Okay, this is the trade that I want to
- 14:39get into." Before I went to work though,
- 14:42I made my analysis. I made I set my
- 14:45alerts. I had notes on the alerts to
- 14:48tell me like, "Hey, price is ready to
- 14:50buy." And if it hits the alert, I pull
- 14:53out my phone. Oh, price is ready to buy.
- 14:55Click buy. Set my stop loss. get off my
- 14:58phone. It takes 1 minute, right? There's
- 15:01always a way around things. People make
- 15:02a lot of excuses. Oh, I can't trade cuz
- 15:05I got to go to work or I can't trade
- 15:07because, you know, like I don't have
- 15:09this or I don't have that or I can't do
- 15:11this or I can't do that. There's always
- 15:12a way around everything in life. There's
- 15:16always a way. Always. Always. Um, and as
- 15:20you start making money, you'll start to
- 15:22see that if you have money, anything is
- 15:26possible.
- 15:27Literally anything in nothing in this
- 15:30world is impossible. Like it might be
- 15:33like some you can't and don't think of
- 15:35like some hypothetical
- 15:37shark jumps and eats a tiger type [ __ ]
- 15:40Don't that's that's that's obviously
- 15:43impossible. But when it comes to real
- 15:47life situations and things that are,
- 15:51you know, like when it comes to numbers,
- 15:53no number is unobtainable. There's a
- 15:56will, there's a way. There is always a
- 15:58will and there's a way. It might be hard
- 16:00to get there. It might be easy to get
- 16:01there, but there's a will. There's a
- 16:03way. So, with this being said,
- 16:06risk. Please don't go in risking your
- 16:09last dollars. Um, what I like to do,
- 16:13especially starting off, is definitely
- 16:15taking, let's say I have $1,000, right?
- 16:18I put it into an account. And this is
- 16:20for an example, right? me personally
- 16:23because when you start trading, you're
- 16:25trading your way out or you're trading
- 16:28for becoming a full-time trader, you
- 16:30want to really risk like maybe 5 to 10%.
- 16:34And this is what I would do. I'm not
- 16:37telling you to do this, not financial
- 16:38advice, but what I would do is calculate
- 16:42how many trades will it take for me to
- 16:44lose to blow my account. I look for one
- 16:47to three risk-to-rewards. So that means
- 16:49every trade that I risk, if I'm risking
- 16:51$100, that means I should come out with
- 16:54$300 to $400 risk-to-reward, right? Just
- 16:57go watch my risk management video.
- 16:58You'll pretty much understand it, right?
- 17:01I like to do it that way. The reason why
- 17:03I like to do it that way is because when
- 17:05you're trading or when you're working a
- 17:07job and you're trading, essentially,
- 17:09some of you guys are probably making
- 17:12around like 60 to $90 a day, right? when
- 17:18you trade, that should be your mindset,
- 17:20right? But instead, since you're risking
- 17:23$100 per trade, $300 in a day, $400 in a
- 17:28day, you should be happy for these
- 17:30trades.
- 17:32Since you're happy, it only takes two of
- 17:34these trades a week to make your
- 17:35paycheck. You only need two solid trades
- 17:37a week. Two solid trades. Two trades,
- 17:40not 20. Two trades. You only need two
- 17:43trades, right? And how the market works
- 17:45is it's not always going to give you
- 17:47exactly $300 or $400. You might have a
- 17:50big day where you sitting in a trade and
- 17:52it goes all the way down crazy more than
- 17:56your TP and you make $700 in a day. Once
- 17:59again, it goes back to positioning
- 18:01yourself. Position yourself correctly.
- 18:04You'll get whatever you like. You'll
- 18:06you'll get a better outcome, right?
- 18:09Trade in session two. Just go watch all
- 18:11the videos I've made so far because I'm
- 18:14pretty much repeating myself. But
- 18:17listen,
- 18:19trading is not as hard as people make
- 18:20it. I will stand on that until somebody
- 18:23shut me down, right? I will stand on it
- 18:26forever, right?
- 18:29life in general.
- 18:31Like I don't want to sound like
- 18:34political or anything, but even when it
- 18:36comes to life, bro, like
- 18:40some of the things in life are not hard
- 18:42for people to do, but we tend to
- 18:44overthink things. We tend to overdo
- 18:47things. Um, you know, like things are
- 18:51going to be an obstacle, but you're
- 18:54human. Push your limits. Push your
- 18:57limits. I think we use like I think it
- 18:59was like a thing. I'm not sure on the
- 19:01percentage, but we only use a certain
- 19:03percentage of our brains. Think about
- 19:06it, bro. You have a lot of a of
- 19:09potential. You have a lot of potential.
- 19:12You just have to literally push yourself
- 19:14to the brink of your limits. Literally
- 19:17just push through your limits.
- 19:20Bro, I'm telling you, bro. I used to be
- 19:23the I was never like I I wasn't always
- 19:25this way. Like I was a smart kid in
- 19:27school with like books and stuff because
- 19:29like books is easy. It's easy to
- 19:30remember [ __ ]
- 19:33But when it comes to this mindset that I
- 19:35have now, I didn't have this when I grew
- 19:37up or when I was 16 and homeless. I was
- 19:40homeless at 16. 17 I found my biological
- 19:43mom and 18 I found trading. And even
- 19:46when I found trading, bro, I was still
- 19:49super um irresponsible when it came to
- 19:52finances. My mindset was just, oh, play
- 19:54video games and talk to girls. That was
- 19:57my mindset back then. Like, I've built
- 20:00this because of trading. Trading has
- 20:02made me build this mindset.
- 20:05Trading has truly made me build this
- 20:07mindset and eliminate greed and
- 20:10eliminate a false hope in a trade or um
- 20:13marriage in a trade. It made me leave so
- 20:16much behind. Revenge trading has made me
- 20:19leave so much behind. But these lessons
- 20:22have also taught me in life how to think
- 20:25properly, how to basically go about my
- 20:29or how to think properly, how to go
- 20:30about my day, how to talk to people, how
- 20:32to just overall be a better human being.
- 20:36Trading is something that will crush
- 20:38you, but it will also build you into the
- 20:40new person. So when it comes to this,
- 20:42please come in with an open head, open
- 20:45mind. When you have an open mind, open
- 20:47heart, don't be gullible. Don't be, you
- 20:50know, uh, just don't fall for
- 20:53everything, but when it comes to this
- 20:57trading game, open your mind to things,
- 21:01but also keep it very simple. Don't let
- 21:04these people fool you into thinking
- 21:05trading is super hard. And that is my
- 21:08tech talk. I hope you guys enjoyed.
- 21:12I love you guys so much, bro. I once
- 21:15again I'mma always tell you guys like
- 21:16thank you for pushing ICC and we'll
- 21:19continue to push this continue to push
- 21:21the movement. I'll be in London in on
- 21:25Monday. I'm throwing an event on Monday.
- 21:27I'll be there Sunday, but I'm throwing
- 21:29an event on Monday and then I'm back in
- 21:31the United States in like seven more
- 21:33days. So, next year we're going to do a
- 21:35tour. Um I'm still trying to decide if I
- 21:38should do the stream in November. I
- 21:39really don't want to do the stream in
- 21:41November. It's not because I don't want
- 21:43to stream, but I definitely want to show
- 21:46you guys more trades live action. Um, I
- 21:51think it'll be very helpful and just
- 21:52overall grow us even more. Some people
- 21:55are I see uh a few haters sometimes
- 21:58they'll be like, "Oh yeah, I can't wait
- 21:59for him to stream so he can [ __ ] up."
- 22:04Yeah, I'm not [ __ ] up. Anyways,
- 22:07um yeah, that's pretty much it. Let's
- 22:09get into the breakdown of today and let
- 22:11me teach you guys something when it
- 22:13comes to the charts because for some
- 22:15reason people only think charts matter,
- 22:17but psychology, everything I just talked
- 22:20about, that is more important than what
- 22:22I'm going to show you now.
- 22:26All right, I'm making this video prior
- 22:27to anything happening. Uh, as you can
- 22:30see, price on BTC, we had that selloff,
- 22:33of course, the drop, quote unquote.
- 22:35Everybody says, "Oh, because of Trump."
- 22:36Of course, Trump influenced it to um
- 22:40push down more and it gave it more
- 22:42volume, but overall the structure in the
- 22:44beginning was bearish in the first
- 22:45place. So then we came to the support
- 22:47level at 110. 110 ended up pushing up
- 22:50all the way to 115 before 115 got into a
- 22:54level of where sellers were at. Right?
- 22:57So from here price ended up selling down
- 22:59to 110 again. Failed to break. Tried to
- 23:02push up failed to go any higher than
- 23:04113. So now we have a lower high in the
- 23:07market. So because of this lower high
- 23:10now price is pushing down looking to um
- 23:13retest or try to rebreak out of 110. If
- 23:17we get a break below 110 I have an alert
- 23:19at 109. Anything under 109. You know BTC
- 23:24is obviously bearish. But the reason why
- 23:26I'm saying that is because I'm looking
- 23:28for Salana to continue to sell. I'm
- 23:30looking for Salana to continue to sell
- 23:32under 189. Once it goes under 189, it
- 23:36will start heading to 173. And then from
- 23:39173, we'll be looking for 155. Um,
- 23:43overall, as you can see on Salana, we
- 23:46can have
- 23:48uptrend. So, we have a higher high,
- 23:50higher low, higher high, higher low,
- 23:51higher high, higher low. Um, price
- 23:54didn't make a higher high, but it did
- 23:56make a higher low, which then ended up
- 23:58still being bullish, which is cool.
- 24:00price higher higher high boom and then
- 24:02we have a break of structure here. So we
- 24:05have a break price tries to pull back up
- 24:08to redeem itself. So this was when that
- 24:10drop happened uh or this is before the
- 24:13drop price ended up redeeming itself
- 24:15making a lower high and then ended up
- 24:18making a lower low. Now we have another
- 24:20lower high looking for that lower low.
- 24:22So overall all in all we're looking for
- 24:25Salana to go bearish under 191. Once it
- 24:28goes bearish under 191, you know, we we
- 24:31just sell price. So, yeah, I'm making
- 24:33this video before anything happens. Look
- 24:36at price. Literally, look at price. Look
- 24:37at the time stamp. Look at the time
- 24:39stamp.
- 24:44All right. So, currently I'm in a swing
- 24:46trade for $8.5 million and I've been
- 24:49calling Salana for like the past two
- 24:51weeks. Um, I really think crypto is just
- 24:54gonna take a huge, huge, huge dive, but
- 24:57I'm not the crypto guy, so what do I
- 25:00know, right? But technical analysis
- 25:02wise, it just doesn't really look too
- 25:04good. So, I'm going continue to sell
- 25:06just based off the technical analysis of
- 25:08it and until I see signs of bullish,
- 25:10then I'll get out. But right now, I'm
- 25:12holding that swing trade for $8.5
- 25:14million. And overall, like I don't I
- 25:17don't think I'm going to get out anytime
- 25:19soon. So, with that being said, uh I'm
- 25:21going to show you guys uh just the setup
- 25:23that I've already shown in Telegram and
- 25:25I posted on Twitter, but I'm going to
- 25:26show you guys on Instagram, too. Bro,
- 25:28you can tell I've been locked in. Like,
- 25:30look, bro. Your bre's grown a beard in
- 25:33like two weeks. But,
- 25:36all right. So, as you can see, this
- 25:38level of support had buyers pushing
- 25:40price up from this level. So, anything
- 25:42under this level would have been
- 25:43indicating that price is selling, right?
- 25:45So, we got that sell-off last week which
- 25:48ended up coming down to 173. Price ended
- 25:51up correcting in the market. I went down
- 25:53to the 4hour time frame. When I go to
- 25:56the 4hour time frame, you can see that
- 25:57the market stops at 210. Once it stops
- 26:01at 210, you can start to see more lower
- 26:03highs are coming into the market. And
- 26:05then anything under that level, which is
- 26:08192, we're selling price all the way
- 26:10back down to 173 and looking for 173 to
- 26:14break and go down to 150. So once again,
- 26:17192 is the level where buyers had
- 26:19control above. So the moment that price
- 26:22came back under 192, it had selling
- 26:24momentum to 173, which it did once
- 26:27again, which is what I sold.
- 26:32All right, guys. So currently we are
- 26:35looking at BTC and Salana. So as you
- 26:38seen in day 12, Salana was like right
- 26:42around this level if I'm not mistaken
- 26:44somewhere around this level. Um and I
- 26:47was telling you guys how we was looking
- 26:49for price to be bearish um under 190. It
- 26:52came under 190 went to 173. So this is
- 26:56me basically showing you the after. Um,
- 27:00and just all in all, I I really want to
- 27:02say, let me turn this off because I
- 27:05don't like looking at my face sometimes.
- 27:07Um, but when it comes to trading, I
- 27:10really want you guys to understand that
- 27:12it is very simple. Uh, you have to make
- 27:15it simple for yourself. So, I'm going to
- 27:17show you some ways um that can basically
- 27:20help you overall think and have a good
- 27:22thought process when it comes to
- 27:24trading.
- 27:25So, um, like I explain all the time,
- 27:29levels or swing highs and swing lows,
- 27:33think of it in a sellers and buyers
- 27:35mindset all the time. I don't care what
- 27:39you think it could be. Just think of it
- 27:41as in a buyers and sellers mindset. So,
- 27:44the last video I showed you, this is a
- 27:47level of where buyers were super strong
- 27:49at. The reason why we know that price is
- 27:52super strong at this level is because it
- 27:54was going down, it was selling to a
- 27:58point until it completely shift.
- 28:01So we can visually see this, right? We
- 28:03can visually see the drastic change that
- 28:06price has made.
- 28:08So when we look at things over here, we
- 28:10can see that price drastically changed
- 28:13at this point and ended up selling down,
- 28:16right? And that goes for anything. So
- 28:18here d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
- 28:18d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
- 28:18d d dic change
- 28:21here stops here kind of sits here that's
- 28:24cool that means something's here right
- 28:26something's here price then has a
- 28:28drastic change from here to here and
- 28:31then we just have drastic changes
- 28:33they're small but they are very
- 28:35important right even here price gets up
- 28:38to a point and it stops here hm I wonder
- 28:40why it stops here because there are
- 28:43sellers at this level that is very
- 28:46important All right.
- 28:49So, really when it comes down to swing
- 28:51highs and swing lows, it's more of a
- 28:53visual cue. Um, something that comes
- 28:56over time or, you know, like for me,
- 29:00highs and lows and lower highs and lower
- 29:02lows have never been hard to me. Like,
- 29:04you can visually see it. I think people
- 29:07are probably zoomed in too much. Um, I I
- 29:11don't know exactly what it is that you
- 29:13guys struggle with when it comes to
- 29:15finding the swing highs and swing lows.
- 29:17Some people ask about what candle
- 29:19formation it has to make. Is more of a
- 29:23visual cue, not like, oh, price needs to
- 29:26have one green bar and one red bar for
- 29:28it to count as a swing. It doesn't work
- 29:30like that. swing high just means that
- 29:33price comes up to a certain highest high
- 29:35point and then it goes the completely
- 29:38opposite direction because of a
- 29:40reaction.
- 29:42Right?
- 29:43So when it comes to this um I just
- 29:47overall want you guys to know anything
- 29:51under here. So if we have buyers here,
- 29:55if price is broken under this level
- 29:59before
- 30:00this right here, this movement that
- 30:03price has made. So from here to here,
- 30:07this movement right here, price is going
- 30:10to repeat this if price does it again,
- 30:14right? It's going to repeat this
- 30:15movement once again. So when it breaks
- 30:18again under this level, it's going to
- 30:20repeat this movement because
- 30:24essentially what is going on is because
- 30:27we have buyers here, right?
- 30:32We have buyers here. The moment price
- 30:35breaks below buyers, they become
- 30:38sellers. They switch up, right? So
- 30:41sellers.
- 30:43So the moment price switches up,
- 30:46anything under here is sellers. But what
- 30:49essentially is going on is these sellers
- 30:51are trying to find buyers. So it's going
- 30:54to continue to sell until it runs into
- 30:57buyers, right? So then when price runs
- 31:00into buyers, they exchange. So
- 31:03everything is now equaled out, right? So
- 31:06now sellers run out because that means
- 31:09there's enough buyers here to get all
- 31:11the sellers out or to equal up with the
- 31:13sellers. But then buyers become way
- 31:17stronger because they've been sitting
- 31:19down here. Buyers have been sitting down
- 31:21here, but we've just now discovered
- 31:23there, right? This move has discovered
- 31:26that this is a zone of where buyers are
- 31:28at, right? So think of it like this.
- 31:31Right? Now, anything down here is an
- 31:34imaginary zone for us. Let's think about
- 31:36it that way. I know some people are
- 31:38going to be like, "Oh, bro, you can just
- 31:39use an indicator to see the levels." I
- 31:41don't want to do that. I want to let
- 31:43price show me that is the level that
- 31:46it's going to do. When we're not
- 31:49predicting what what price number or
- 31:51what price level price is going to have
- 31:53buyers at, we're letting price show us
- 31:56with reactions and price action and
- 31:59market structure. We're letting that
- 32:01show us where it's at. Right? So, with
- 32:04this being said, there's imaginary
- 32:05levels down here that we don't know
- 32:07about, right? So, when it comes to that,
- 32:10we let price make that decision.
- 32:13So,
- 32:16when price is selling, so here, we'll
- 32:19put this back up. Selling, they equal
- 32:22out here.
- 32:24Boom. Sellers gone. Now, we just have
- 32:26buyers. buyers then since they've been
- 32:29sitting here for so long, they have a a
- 32:31a substantial amount of buyers.
- 32:34So then you'll start to see a reaction.
- 32:38You'll start to see that reaction
- 32:39because buyers have been sitting here
- 32:41waiting for their moment to be seen. And
- 32:43once they're seen, they become popping.
- 32:46So they become popular or they become a
- 32:48lot because they've been sitting down
- 32:50here for so long.
- 32:52And now the spotlight is on them. So now
- 32:55they're going to use that spotlight to
- 32:56try to take advantage of much as the
- 32:58market as they can. So then what happens
- 33:01is you start to see that the market
- 33:02starts to have a reaction and start to
- 33:04push up.
- 33:06There will then be a point where price
- 33:09or sellers will no longer tolerate this
- 33:13because once again this shows us sellers
- 33:16are in this market in this trend right
- 33:20this is letting us know that the market
- 33:21is in this trend. Then we have this
- 33:24correction which is basically
- 33:27the buyers trying to fight back as much
- 33:29as possible.
- 33:32This is why break and retest is not the
- 33:34best way to look at this either because
- 33:36there will be some times where price
- 33:38breaks comes back and you might think
- 33:41it's a retest and it just keeps coming
- 33:43back, keeps coming back, keeps coming
- 33:45back. Think of this as just a regular
- 33:47pullback.
- 33:49How we know when the pullback is over?
- 33:51Quite simple. So whenever you're looking
- 33:55for this correction, you'll start to see
- 33:56the market structure change. So if
- 33:59you're in sales or if you see a sell
- 34:01indication, so this is what I'm, you
- 34:04know, dragging my finger across. This is
- 34:06the initial move that caused an
- 34:08indication. An indication is at the end
- 34:11right here. So this is where the
- 34:13indication is. This is the breakout.
- 34:15This is where the indication is. The
- 34:18indication is telling us from this
- 34:20breakout price is coming to this point
- 34:23indicating us right. This is indicating
- 34:26us that price is coming here. Then we
- 34:29have the correction. The correction is
- 34:30normally after the indication and this
- 34:33is just basically the opposite trend or
- 34:36the opposite side fighting a back
- 34:38whatever the indication was. So the
- 34:40indication is bearish. The correction is
- 34:43going to be bullish.
- 34:46So the best way to get into the
- 34:50continuation is to know when price is
- 34:52going back bearish. How do we know that?
- 34:56Well, this initial indication is already
- 34:58signs that price is bearish. It is
- 35:00strongly bearish. So anything under this
- 35:03black line is going to be our best
- 35:05probability that price is going to do
- 35:07the same thing because remember buyers
- 35:09are sitting here but once price is under
- 35:11here it is bearish. So, if we're on a
- 35:14correction and we're looking for price
- 35:16to be bearish, it would just make sense
- 35:19to sell back under here because we know
- 35:22price is bearish. Once again, let me
- 35:24repeat. If buyers are here pushing price
- 35:27up,
- 35:29if we break here the first time, this is
- 35:32showing us price is bearish to this
- 35:35level. So, price is bearish from 190 to
- 35:39173. Right?
- 35:42Because of that, we have a correction.
- 35:45So if you are confused on when the
- 35:48correction is over, sell back under the
- 35:51level that showed you price was bearish
- 35:54in the first place. So sell back under
- 35:57190 because then we know buyers are no
- 36:01longer here,
- 36:03right? So with all this being said,
- 36:07make it as simple as possible for
- 36:09yourself. Trading is not as hard as
- 36:12people make it. I've shown this time
- 36:14again. You can go back on my channel.
- 36:17You can go through my Instagram
- 36:18highlights. Trades by on Instagram. You
- 36:21can go through Telegram. My videos,
- 36:23constant videos of me showing before and
- 36:26after. It is the same thing, the same
- 36:28setup.
- 36:30If a level shows us that price from this
- 36:33point to this point is going to be
- 36:35bearish,
- 36:37that's all we have to do is wait for
- 36:39price to come back under that level and
- 36:41sell it again. Now, there's a little bit
- 36:44more of an advanced tip to help you out.
- 36:47Since you're looking for price to be
- 36:48bearish, there's always good signs to
- 36:50try your other swing highs and swing
- 36:52lows. So, notice how price went on this
- 36:54correction and got to this point, this
- 36:56high, right? It got to this high. price
- 36:59tro down. Remember, there's buyers here.
- 37:02So, this black line, remember, there's
- 37:04buyers here, right? Strong buyers.
- 37:06Buyers ended up pushing price all the
- 37:09way up
- 37:11to its highest point over here, right?
- 37:14So, there's a lot of strong buyers here
- 37:16because they made this whole trend.
- 37:18Remember, look, this was a downtrend at
- 37:20first, but the buyers here at this level
- 37:23pushed price up so hard. So the fact
- 37:26that prices got those buyers have gotten
- 37:28bypassed and broken this shows that
- 37:31under this level buyers have no strength
- 37:35right because buyers didn't want to let
- 37:38price go any lower this time but price
- 37:41let price go lower this time. So that
- 37:43means buyers are now weak in this market
- 37:45under this level. Right? So with that
- 37:49being said things to help you out. price
- 37:53gets up to this level high,
- 37:56rejects because there's buyers here. So
- 37:58then it tries again to break out at this
- 38:00high, fails to do so. Right? I'm big on
- 38:02candle closes. Um for me, candle closes
- 38:06are very very important because this is
- 38:09basically saying like, hey, this is a
- 38:11closed deal, right? So with me, these
- 38:15will go here. We can now see that price
- 38:18has a high, a low,
- 38:21a lower high because this this high is
- 38:24lower than the previous one, right?
- 38:26Boom. So now we have this and this.
- 38:30Then you see price break out of that
- 38:32level where you see there are buyers
- 38:35here. So this level here had buyers
