What are levels? Support — a level where the price previously halted its decline and bounced back up Resistance — a zone where the upward movement slowed down and the price reversed downward When the price breaks through these levels, it is an important signal of a change in market strength
Break of Support 🛑⬇️ Demand weakens, sellers dominate The price goes below an important level Often accompanied by panic and accelerated decline
Buyers strengthen, the price breaks upward Possible growth with momentum Bulls receive confirmation of the trend Example: The price could not break 150, then confidently settled above — growth to 165 📈
How to trade on breakouts 🎯 Wait for confirmation: the candle must close above the level Retest: after a breakout, the price often returns — this is the entry point Stop-loss: place it just above the level to avoid a fakeout Take-profit: target — the next level or volume zone
Tips ⚠️ Consider volumes: a breakout with high volume is stronger Be cautious of fakeouts: do not enter until confirmation Use RSI, volumes, MACD — to strengthen the signal #techanalys #resistance
## What is it Bollinger Bands are a technical indicator consisting of three lines around a simple moving average (SMA) that automatically expand and contract based on market volatility.
- Middle Band: simple moving average of price (usually over 20 periods) - Upper Band: SMA + (K × standard deviation) - Lower Band: SMA − (K × standard deviation) Usually K = 2
1. Squeeze (Bollinger Squeeze) A narrow range — a signal to accumulate a position before a strong move
2. Reversal Trading Enter long upon touching the lower band and confirming with a signal Enter short upon touching the upper band and confirming with indicators (e.g., RSI)
3. Trend Strategies Price holds at the upper band — upward trend Price at the lower band — downward trend
#Tips and nuances
- Do not trade solely on touching the bands — use confirmation - In a trend, price can move along one of the bands - Adjust the indicator parameters for the specific market (SMA: 10–30, K: 1.5–2.5)
Spot Trading 🛒 - You own the asset immediately after purchase - There is a document or record in the wallet/depot — proof of ownership 🗂️ - You can use the asset: wear, eat, rent, transfer ⚡️ - Long/short in spot: - Long: bought for $100 → sold for $130 → +$30 📈 - Short: sold short for $100 → bought for $80 → +$20 📉
Futures Trading ⏳ - You do not own the asset, but trade a contract - A contract is an obligation to buy/sell the asset in the future at a price 📃 - You can immediately go long (on the rise) or short (on the fall) - Examples: - Short futures on oil at $100 → price falls to $80 → profit $20 ✔️ - Long futures on gold at $1500 → price rises to $1600 → profit $100 ✔️
Key Differences:
Parameter: - Spot 🛒 - Ownership: Yes - Proof: Wallet, report - Usage: Can spend, transfer - Long/short: Through the asset
- Futures ⏳ - Ownership: No, only contract - Proof: Digital/paper contract - Usage: Only speculation - Long/short: Directly through the contract
What is a support level? 🛡️ - It is a zone where demand is strong enough to stop a decline and reverse the price upward - Why it occurs: - Previous lows - Psychological levels ($100, $1000) - Ascending trend lines Support: 1. Horizontal level - price has bounced up several times 2. Trend line: through 2+ local lows
Resistance 🛑 - It is a zone where supply predominates, hindering growth and reversing the price downward - Why it occurs: Previous highs Psychological levels Descending trend lines
Finding it: 1. Horizontal level: where the price has bounced down 2. Trend line: through 2+ local highs 3. Indicators: Fibonacci, MA, Pivot Point How to trade from levels? 🎯
If the price is at support 🟢 - Entry: buy (long) - Stop-loss: just below the level - Take-profit: closer to the next resistance
Price is at resistance 🔴 - Entry: sell (short) - Stop-loss: just above the level - Take-profit: closer to the next support - Wait for confirmation: bounce with volume - Remember fake breakouts: entry after retest - Additional: RSI, volume, MACD
What is a Short? 📉 - Selling an asset that you do not own - Goal: to buy back later at a lower price and profit from the difference
Example of a Short: 1. A customer orders Gucci slippers for $100, even though they are not in stock 2. You sell "on margin" for $100 3. When the price drops to $80, you buy and fulfill the order 4. Profit: $100 − $80 = $20 🎉
What is a Long? 📈 - Buying an asset in advance with the expectation of selling it for more - You profit if the price goes up
Example of a Long (benefit for the customer): 1. The customer places a pre-order for Gucci slippers at a fixed price of $100 📋 2. You purchase for $100 and wait for delivery 3. The market price jumps to $120 💥 4. You fulfill the order at the old price — the customer saves $20 💰 5. The customer is satisfied, you strengthen loyalty 🤝
🏷️ Summary: - Short: you sell without goods → buy cheaper → profit on decline 📉💸 - Long: you buy in advance → sell for more → profit on rise 📈💰
📈 CCI — simple market oscillator **CCI (Commodity Channel Index)** measures the deviation of price from its average over a period. The range is approximately **−200…+200**: - **> +100** — overbought, risk of correction - **< −100** — oversold, potential bounce 🔍 Example (4 h, period=20): - **BTC/USDT**: $109 407, CCI ≈ +120 → overbought - **ETH/USDT**: $2 598, CCI ≈ –75 → neutral zone 📊 How to read? 1. **CCI > +100** → price above average, a correction may begin. 2. **CCI < –100** → price below average, a bounce may occur. 3. **CCI around 0** → market in balance. 🛠 Work plan (4 h): 1. Wait for **CCI > +100** → take part LONG. 2. When it drops below +100 — you can open SHORT. 3. Wait for **CCI to drop < –100** → take profit on SHORT or enter LONG. 4. Confirm the signal with RSI or by breaking levels. 5. **Stop-loss**: 1–2% from entry; **take-profit**: 3–5%. 💡 Tips: - Do not rely only on CCI — combine with MACD, SMA, or RSI. - Look for divergences: price hits a new high/low, CCI does not. - In strong trends, CCI may “hang” in zones >+100/<-100. #CCI #BTC #ETH #Трейдинг #TechAnalysis
📊 SMA on BTC and ETH SMA (Simple Moving Average) — the simple moving average shows the average price over a chosen period. The most popular are: - SMA50 — medium-term trend - SMA200 — long-term trend --- 📈 Analysis: - BTC and ETH are trading above SMA50 and SMA200, indicating medium-term and long-term growth. - For BTC, a breakout above $110,000 may strengthen the upward momentum. - ETH is holding around $2,600 — a level at which growth may continue to $2,650–$2,700. --- 🛠 Strategy: 1.

📊 MACD on BTC: signal for growth or reversal?
