One of the first things I understood in trading was this: the price does not move randomly… it respects zones!
🔸 Support is like the floor. A zone where the price has touched several times and has not gone lower. There usually appears buying strength. The price falls… but bounces back. (Think of it as if the market is saying: “I won't go below this!”)
🔸 Resistance is like the ceiling. A zone where the price has risen, but cannot break through. Selling pressure appears. The price rises… but stops. (The market says: “This is as far as I go for now!”)
📊 Why does it matter? Because those zones help you to:
✅ Better choose your entries ✅ Define exits (take profits) ✅ Set smarter stop losses
💡 Marking supports and resistances is like drawing a map. Without that… you are entering blindly.
You need to understand this: timeframes change everything.
When you look at a chart, you are not seeing the real market... you are seeing a version of it, according to the timeframe you choose.
⏱️ 1H → Each candle shows one hour. ⏱️ 2H → Each candle summarizes two hours. ⏱️ 4H, 8H, 1D… the same.
Why does this matter?
Because an entry that looks clear on 1H can be going against the larger trend on 4H or D1. And if you only look at one timeframe… you fall into false signals.
👉🏽 Practical tip if you are starting:
🔍 Use multiple timeframes. For example: ✨ I look at 8H and daily (1D) to see the main trend ✨ And I use 2H or 1H to refine my entries
This ensures I do not enter right into a market breath when everything in the larger timeframe is going up or down.
💬 Are you already using multiple timeframes in your analysis?
This time I lost because I got excited about a new token. The truth is, I didn't review anything at all, I just got excited.
I entered with a minimal part of my capital, just to try it out.
What was the result?
High volatility, movement without a clear direction, and a lot of unnecessary anxiety.
💡The lesson:
Before investing in a new token, first observe how it behaves. Let it mature in the market. And if you decide to enter, make sure it's with a percentage you can afford to lose without it hurting.
In this game, the winner is not the one who enters first. The winner is the one who knows when to stay... and when not to touch.
Comment 🎯 if you also learned not to enter just because of FOMO.
Start by understanding what each word means in crypto, spot, futures, stop, take profit, resistances, supports, and strategies, and invest only what you can afford to lose.
Yes, they can generate quick profits… but also equally quick losses. They have no history, no clear floor, and not much stability.
👉 If you decide to enter, let it be with a very small percentage. One that you can afford to lose. Sometimes it's just out of curiosity or for fun, and that's okay… but don't put at risk what you have worked hard to build.
In crypto, patience also pays off.
Comment 🎯 if you also prefer to study before betting.
The currency was trending, the trade was good… but I didn’t take profits. And with the volatility, in a matter of minutes, that same trade ended in a loss.
💡 Lesson: It’s not just about entering well. You also need to know when to exit. Define your profit objective from the start. And if you reach it, don’t ignore it out of greed.
🎯 In futures, not taking profits is the same as risking them.
Has this happened to you?
Comment if you are learning to better define your exits.
Did you lose on your first investment? Welcome. You are not alone.
What they don't tell you is that investing without ever losing doesn't exist. Especially when you are starting without a strategy, without emotional control, and following recommendations from others without fully understanding.
👉 Losing at the beginning doesn't make you bad. 👉 Ignoring the loss and continuing the same way does.
What matters is how you respond afterwards: 📌 Do you write down what you did? 📌 Do you take the time to understand why? 📌 Do you educate yourself instead of just putting in more money?
In crypto, it's not the one who risks the most that wins. It's the one who learns the most every time they fall.
If you're starting in crypto, it's normal to lose. Even if we don't like it.
And no, it's not because it's 'time' to lose. It's because:
🔹 You're learning to manage risk. 🔹 You still haven't mastered your impulses. 🔹 You enter without a plan, exit with anxiety. 🔹 You make decisions without understanding the context.
It's not your fault; it's part of the process if you don't train beforehand. What's important is not to avoid losing 100% of the time. The key is to lose less, learn quickly, and correct better.
💡 If you lost, stop. Ask yourself: → What did I need to know? → What was the emotion that made me enter or exit?
That already puts you 10 steps ahead of the average.
What is a divergence in the RSI and how do you see it?
Imagine that the price is rising... but the RSI is no longer following. The price hits a new high, but the RSI does not. That is a bearish divergence and is often a signal that the momentum is weakening, that the price "is rising but not with strength anymore" and a drop might be coming soon.
Now the reverse: the price is falling and falling, but the RSI starts to rise. The market is declining, but the RSI says: "not with as much strength anymore." That is a bullish divergence and can anticipate a rise.
How do you see it?
1. Open your chart (it can be on 4H, D1, or wherever you trade).
2. Add the RSI indicator (use the default value of 14).
3. Draw two lines:
One on the price (connecting the last two lows or highs).
And another on the RSI (at the same points).
4. If the lines go in opposite directions, that is a divergence.
Example to make it easy:
The price makes two peaks: one at 20 thousand and another at 21 thousand.
But the RSI at those peaks goes from 70 to 65.
Is the price rising? Yes.
Is the RSI rising? No.
Then that is a bearish divergence. Of course, here’s a simple explanation, as if we were chatting:
💡 What can happen when there is a divergence?
It’s not magic, but often it is a signal that the price is about to turn or that the momentum is running out. It serves to stay alert, not to jump into trading without a plan.
If you are starting, look at it as a warning: 👉 "Watch out, what you see is not all that there is."
When you short, you expect the price to fall, and that usually happens faster and with more strength due to the fear that moves the market.
🔍 But if you find it difficult to find the ideal point when buying, you might be entering too early or without confirming the structure.
👉 Practical tip: $BNB Before buying, wait for the price to break a previous resistance and turn it into support. That validates that there is real strength, not just a technical bounce.
💡 Mini strategy for practicing purchases
1. Wait for confirmation, not just a low price:
Use previous supports + a bullish engulfing candle or hammer.
You can add RSI below 30 moving upwards.
2. Look at the structure:
Is it making higher lows?
Is the volume increasing when the price goes up and decreasing when the price goes down? That's a good sign for purchases.
3. Train in demo with only purchases:
Have practice sessions where you only look for long entries, without trading shorts, so you train your eye without bias.
💡 Remember: the price can be cheap and still drop further. What matters is not whether it is low, but whether it is rising with strength.
💡Simple strategy: gain clarity with your crypto investment
Before investing a single peso in crypto, ask yourself this question: 👉 Do I want to make quick profits or build long-term?
🎯 If your answer is: A) "Make quick profits" → You need time, training, and nerves of steel (trading). B) "Build long-term" → Choose 2-3 solid projects and use DCA strategy (periodic calm investment).
❌ Mixing both usually leads to chaos: you buy high, sell out of fear, or lose sight of your goals. ✅ Choose your style and be consistent. That is the true strategy.
It's like going to the market and buying an apple. You pay for it and take it home instantly. 👉 In crypto, this means you buy an asset (like BTC or ETH) and you have it directly in your account. It's yours.
🔹 You buy it at the current price (the “spot” price). 🔹 There is no leverage. 🔹 It's ideal for long-term investment or for starting out without complicating things.
📍Trading in FUTURES
It's like making a bet on how much that apple will cost in the future, without having it in hand. 👉 In crypto, you don't buy the asset, but rather make a contract to profit if its price goes up or down.
🔹 You can use leverage (put in little money and control much). 🔹 It's riskier and faster. 🔹 It's more for active trading and experienced individuals.
💡Simple example:
In spot, you buy 100 USDT of Bitcoin and hold it.
In futures, you bet that the price will go up or down and you can win (or lose) without having bought the BTC.
🔁 How You Emotionally Sabotage Yourself in the Future (Even If You Already Know the Strategy)
Sometimes it’s not that you don’t know how to set a stop loss. Nor that you don’t understand what leverage, cross margin, or isolated margin is. Sometimes the real danger is that you betray yourself.
Because you know you said: “I’ll close at -10%, max,” but when the price drops, you wait. You tell yourself: “Surely it will bounce back.” And it doesn’t bounce back.
You told yourself it was a trade with a plan, but you entered on impulse. You told yourself you would follow your strategy, but you traded from fear. From anger. From the desire to recover what you lost yesterday.
And that’s what hurts the most: Not losing because you didn’t know… But losing because you couldn’t hold yourself together.
For not knowing how to breathe when the trade goes against you. For not recognizing that you are not emotionally well to trade. For letting yourself be carried away by anxiety, euphoria, pride.
The market doesn’t forgive that. And you don’t easily forgive yourself either.
But I’ll tell you something: this can also be trained. The emotional part can also be learned. Just as you learned to use stop loss or to read candlesticks, you can also learn to maintain your internal state.
Because trading is not just about knowing charts. It’s about knowing yourself.
👁️🗨️ If this has ever happened to you, you are not alone. I have also sabotaged myself while trading. But what’s important is not that it never happens to you. It’s that you learn to look at yourself without judgment and continue fine-tuning your emotional strategy.
Comment if you ever knew what you had to do… but didn’t do it.
🌱 Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Strategy for Crypto: The Simple Thing That Can Save You.
Imagine that instead of buying all your Bitcoin or Ethereum at once, you decide to divide your investment and buy little by little, regardless of whether the price goes up or down. That is DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging): investing at regular intervals (daily, weekly, or monthly), with a fixed amount in dollars (USD).
📌 Realistic Example: You have 100 USDT to buy BTC. Instead of buying everything today, you decide to buy 20 USDT every Monday for 5 weeks. What’s the result? You protect yourself from entering right at an expensive peak and reduce the emotional impact of the ups and downs.
🎯 Why Can This Strategy Help You?
1. It avoids impulse buying (that "oops, I missed the train").
2. It distances you from the fear of buying high or "missing an opportunity".
3. It trains you in discipline and consistency.
4. It’s ideal if you don’t have time to analyze charts all day.
💡 How to Apply It on Binance (Basic Mode):
Decide how much you can invest each week or month (for example, 10 USD every Monday).
Use USDT or BUSD as the base currency.
Buy manually or schedule automatic purchases with Binance's "Auto-Invest" feature.
Choose a solid project that you have already researched (BTC, ETH, or whichever convinces you for the long term).
💔 Where We Sometimes Fail:
We stop DCA because we think "it will go down more".
We switch projects without a strategy.
We start looking at the chart every day and anxiety sets in.
🧠 DCA is not about making you rich in 1 week. It’s about building a solid foundation, cultivating patience, and taking away the power of emotions over your money.
📲 What type of order should I use in Futures if I am a beginner?
If you entered Futures and got a super menu... relax! I'll explain ☕
💡 First thing: Don't touch buttons just for the sake of it. Each type of order has a purpose. Here’s a "quick dictionary" of orders so you don't accidentally self-liquidate:
🟢 1. Market Order Buy or sell immediately at the current price. 💬 It's like saying: "Go, at whatever price!" ✅ Use it if you need to enter or exit quickly. ⚠️ Risk: In times of high volatility, you may end up buying at a higher price or selling at a lower price than you expected (slippage).
Discover Huma Finance (HUMA) — A new way to invest with purpose
🔍 What is Huma Finance? Huma Finance is a DeFi protocol that turns real invoices (such as accounts receivable or future payments) into instant liquidity using stablecoins like USDC or USDT. This allows companies to obtain capital quickly and those who provide liquidity to earn sustained returns ([turn0search3]turn0search1).
💡 What is it for? Instead of using crypto as collateral, Huma allows the use of real income as backing—ideal for entrepreneurs in developing countries, freelancers, and small businesses ([turn0search3]turn0search1).
⚠️ Everything I wish I had known before entering Futures
(If you are starting, this can save you money, anxiety… and a liquidation) When I saw that in Futures I could win even if the market went down, I thought: “This is for me.” But what I didn't know was that… without understanding how it really works, I could lose EVERYTHING in seconds. Here I share, from my experience, what I learned late (and I wish someone had told me earlier): 🧨 1. You are not buying the crypto, you are opening a contract. In spot you buy Bitcoin, and that's it, you have it.
🎢 Futures? The most common mistake (that I also made)
Once I wrote in a post: "investing in futures is a mistake if you don't know how it works"… And I stand by it. Because it's not that futures are bad, it's that it's something else.
💥 In spot, you buy an asset and you own it. 🧨 In futures, you don't buy the asset, you make a contract betting on the price. Does it go up? You win. Does it go down? You lose. And the opposite is also true. You can win if the price goes down… but you need to know what you're doing.
The problem is not the market. It's entering without a strategy, without understanding leverage, liquidations, or margin.
🧠 Futures are like driving on a wet road. Is it dangerous? Only if you don't know how to brake, accelerate, or take turns.
If you still don't know:
What a cross margin vs isolated margin is
How liquidation is calculated
How to set a real stop loss Then breathe, learn, and don't invest there yet.
👉 I prefer to learn slowly, but not burn my account out of pride.
Did you already know how it works or did you also confuse it with spot?
Good question. Because many people look at the 5-minute chart and say: "It's an uptrend!" But that's like looking at the weather through the window and saying that winter is over 🌧️
🟢 If you are going to do short-term trading, smaller timeframes (5min, 15min) show you micro movements. 🟠 But to see the real trend of the market, focus on 4H, 1D, or even 1S (daily or weekly).
👉 Tip: start from large to small. Look at the big picture, then adjust your strategy in smaller timeframes.
