You can scroll X and catch other people's signals, but until you learn to read charts yourself — you will be blind in a world where everything is decided by candles.
Cryptocurrency charts are the language with which the market speaks to you. And you either understand it, or you pay for your misunderstanding.
Here’s where to start:
🔹 Candles — the foundation. Each tells a story: where it was bought, where it was sold, who won. 🔹 Support and resistance levels — like the skeleton of movement. 🔹 Volumes — the strength behind the candles. 🔹 Trends and patterns — help to see direction and potential reversals.
Yes, indicators are also a tool. But without understanding the basic structure of the chart, they turn into beautiful noise.
Read charts like a book. There’s more truth there than in any post with a loud headline.
Every trader makes mistakes. The question is not whether you will make a mistake, but what you will learn from it. Entered too late, exited too early, didn’t set a stop, believed in a 'signal from a friend', forgot about the news… Sound familiar?
Here are a few classic trading fails: 🛑 Trading on emotions: fear and greed are poor advisors. 🛑 Lack of a plan: bought — and praying. 🛑 Neglecting risk: 'it's fine, going all in'. 🛑 The desire to 'recoup losses' immediately: hello, margin call.
The scariest part is not the mistakes themselves, but repeating the same ones. So, document, analyze, draw conclusions. This is the path to improvement.
#note Commissions in crypto: how not to burn your deposit for no reason 💸
Many newcomers only look at the coin's price but forget about another important enemy — commissions. Are you trading actively? Pay. Are you transferring between wallets? Pay. Even if you just want to stake tokens — sometimes, you can't avoid commissions.
Commissions can be: 🔸 Maker/taker on exchanges (especially in spot and derivatives markets) 🔸 Gas in networks like Ethereum or BNB Chain 🔸 Withdrawals and deposits, which depend on the exchange The more active the strategy — the more important it is to consider commissions in PnL. Sometimes a "profitable trade" turns into a loss just because of fees.
The conclusion is simple: always read the fine print and compare fees across different platforms. Saving here is not greed, but financial literacy.
#note Security in Crypto: More Important than Charts and Predictions 🛡️
If you want to survive in crypto — learn to protect yourself. Wallets, passwords, recovery phrases, two-factor authentication, cold storage — all of these are not options, but necessities. How many stories have there been of people losing tens of thousands due to compromised seed phrases or phishing sites? And this is not always about "newbies" — even experienced users fall victim.
A simple principle: if your assets are stored in a way that allows you to sleep peacefully — then everything is done right. If there is anxiety — it's time to change something.
When you open a trade in a pair, for example, TON/USDT — you are not just buying TON. You are exchanging USDT for TON and back. Everything that happens is a balance between the two assets.
☝🏻 It is important to understand: a trading pair is always a ratio, not an absolute. If TON is rising — it doesn't mean it is rising against everything. It may be rising against USDT but falling against BTC. That is why knowledgeable traders look not only at the price in dollars but also compare the asset in multiple pairs.
Plus: different pairs mean different liquidity, spreads, and dynamics. The same movement can yield different results depending on the chosen pair.
The index remains in the greed zone, demonstrating confidence among market participants. Market capitalization increased by 1.54%, reaching €3 058 766 555 021.7. Trading volume rose by 4.43%, indicating moderate activity. Bitcoin's dominance slightly increased to 60.9% (+0.13%), confirming stable interest in the primary asset.
#forecast $BTC BTC/USDT forecast for the month: 115,000–120,000 📈
Bitcoin is trading around 107,900 USDT, having decreased by 1.39% over the last 24 hours. The Fear and Greed Index at 61 indicates greed, while the ratio of long to short positions (1.7 : 1) confirms investors' confidence in growth. High trading volume in the futures market (9.07B USDT) further supports bullish expectations.
If BTC holds above 107,300, we can expect movement towards the levels of 115,000–120,000. However, in an overheated market, one should consider the possibility of a short-term correction amid high activity.
#note Liquidity: your invisible ally (or enemy) in the market
Liquidity is not just a word that often pops up in trading discussions. It is a fundamental thing that can either save your trade or destroy it.
When the market is liquid, you can quickly buy or sell an asset at a price close to what you expect. But if there is no liquidity — slippage, wide spreads, and nerves are guaranteed. This is especially relevant for altcoins, where volumes can 'dry up' literally overnight.
🚨 Important: high liquidity ≠ good investment. It is more of a tool. However, monitoring the order book, market depth, and volumes is a working habit that distinguishes a player from a spectator.
#note The crypto market is waking up — but it's not a bull run yet
Today's growth is indeed a rebound, not a reversal. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major altcoins have finally recovered a bit after a volatile drop, and my PnL for today was +1.12%. It's nice, of course, but we shouldn't be fooled: the market is still acting more like a wounded beast than a confident bull.
The signals for a reversal are still weak. Sentiments are shaky, macroeconomics still doesn't provide clear support, and the volumes suggest more of a technical breather. But days like these are a great opportunity to remember how important it is to maintain a balance between greed and caution.
#news Nasdaq rises amid expectations of a US-China agreement
The Nasdaq index started the week with a confident rise, increasing by 0.3% to a level of 19,591 points against the backdrop of renewed trade negotiations between the US and China. Market participants reacted positively to signals about a possible lifting of some export restrictions, especially in the semiconductor sector.
Shares of tech giants, including AMD (+4.8%) and Qualcomm (+4.1%), showed significant growth. The iShares Semiconductor ETF also added 2.4%. Investors are betting that a reduction in trade tensions will give a new impetus to the tech sector.
At the same time, ETF market participants are observing increased interest in tech indices. It is expected that a possible agreement between the US and China could provide an additional boost to the growth of assets tracking the Nasdaq.
However, ahead are the publication of inflation data and possible signals from the Fed, which may adjust market expectations.
If you are new to crypto or want to trade more consciously, it's time to understand the basic types of orders. These are your tools for risk control and strategy.
🔹 Market Order The simplest one. You buy or sell at the current price. Fast, convenient, but not always profitable — especially in low liquidity.
🔹 Limit Order You specify the price at which you are willing to buy/sell. The order will execute only if the market reaches it. Complete control — but you might miss out on a trade if the price doesn't trigger.
🔹 Stop Order / Stop-Loss The order triggers when the price reaches a specified level. It’s great for limiting losses or securing profits. There is a subtype — Trailing Stop, which “moves” with the price to protect profits.
🔹 Take-Profit Counterpart to stop-loss: you secure profit once the desired price is reached. Especially useful if you can't monitor the market 24/7.
🔹 OCO (One Cancels the Other) Two orders in one: for example, stop-loss and take-profit. As soon as one triggers — the other is canceled. Convenient when automation is important.
Conclusion? The better you know the tools, the less the market controls you. Take control yourself.
The index has risen into the greed zone, reflecting a confident influx of optimism in the market. The market capitalization increased by 4.04%, reaching €3 112 127 205 466.26. A significant increase in trading volume (+76.4%) confirms the activation of participants. Bitcoin's dominance has slightly decreased to 61.3% (–0.24%) – interest in altcoins continues to grow.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen held a series of meetings with senior Chinese officials in Beijing, signaling an attempt to ease tensions between the two largest economies in the world. Both sides expressed interest in stabilizing trade relations, despite ongoing disagreements in the areas of technology, security, and tariff policy.
The talks discussed potential measures to reduce barriers to mutual investments and critical supply chains, including semiconductors and rare earth metals.
In response, Beijing expressed concern over new U.S. restrictions on the Chinese artificial intelligence and chip sectors, calling for "mutual respect and pragmatism." No official agreements have been reached yet, but both sides described the dialogue as constructive.
Experts believe that the resumption of dialogue could alleviate geopolitical pressure on global markets, contributing to reduced volatility and the restoration of supply chains.
#note When you first enter the crypto space, it’s easy to get lost in terms like scalping, swing trading, or HODL.
Here’s a brief overview of the main types of trading:
🔴 Scalping Maximally quick trades – from seconds to minutes. Goal – to catch minimal price movements and make a profit on volume. Volatility – your friend, but also the main risk.
🟠 Day Trading All trades are closed within one day. You are not affected by overnight gaps and news outside the session. Discipline and experience are needed to avoid losing your deposit on impulse.
🟡 Swing Trading Trades last for several days or weeks. Ideal if you know how to read charts and catch trend reversals. Less stress, but more patience.
🟢 Position Trading Essentially investments: you enter and hold an asset for months. Perfect for those who believe in the growth of specific coins (and don’t want to stare at charts 24/7). HODL – this is where it belongs.
🔵 Algorithmic Trading Here, code trades. You write a bot – it executes trades based on specified strategies. Trendy, technical, but not without risks and bugs. The choice depends on your time, character, and goals.
The main thing is not to jump between styles every 3 days 😉
#note South Korea is once again setting the pace for the entire crypto industry
From July 1, 2025, a new law on digital assets will come into force in the country, which for the first time introduces a clear distinction between cryptocurrencies as investment assets and as means of payment.
Regulators require exchanges to provide full disclosure of information, and projects are obliged to provide a white paper in the style of IPO documentation.
All of this is not just bureaucracy. It is preparation for the next step: the legalization and introduction of institutional money into Web3.
Important: – Crypto exchanges in Korea are now required to hold reserves in banks – Token fraud will be punishable by criminal liability – Special attention to DeFi protocols and gaming tokens, where many gray areas still remain
South Korea is not just tightening control - it is showing what a mature crypto market can look like, where both innovation and investor protection are possible.
The rest of the world has to watch... or catch up.
The index remains in the neutral sentiment zone, reflecting a balance between caution and optimism. Market capitalization has increased by 0.15% and stands at €2,997,174,311,912.46. Trading volume has decreased by 26.3% – activity is weakening after recent movements. Dominance is almost unchanged at 61.4% (–0.02%), indicating stability in interest towards Bitcoin.
#forecast $TRUMP Forecast for TRUMP/USDT for the month: 10.92 📉
The market shows a weak downward trend: RSI at 38.67 indicates a normal state, while MACD (-0.63) confirms selling pressure. The price is held within the Bollinger Bands (9.78 – 15.29), indicating relative stability in the current range.
Liquidity is average, but open interest is very high, suggesting potential spike volatility. Against the backdrop of slowing BTC growth, there may be increased corrective pressure on $TRUMP , despite potential bounces up to 11.13.
📢 This forecast is analytical in nature. Make informed decisions!
The index has exited the fear zone, reflecting a rise in market confidence. The market capitalization increased by 0.82% and reached €2,991,307,062,942.1. At the same time, trading volume sharply decreased by 49.4%, which may indicate a lull before a new movement. BTC dominance remains stable at 61.5% (–0.03%) – interest in the main asset persists.
#note It seems that Big Tech no longer wants to stand aside. We are already seeing the largest technology companies seriously starting to play in the stablecoin field — and this could radically change the entire market.
Recently, Ripple launched RLUSD, PayPal is actively promoting PYUSD, and there are discussions within the ecosystem $TON about a native stablecoin integrated into Telegram. Meta is also not sitting idly — their Diem may have been shut down, but it is not forgotten.
Now Amazon and Apple may enter the game — not directly, of course, but through partnerships or their own solutions within the ecosystems.
Why do they need this? It's simple:
🔹control over payments within platforms 🔹reducing dependence on banking systems 🔹increasing revenue through fees and ecosystem services
But the main question is: is the market ready to accept stablecoins from Big Tech?
On one hand — trust in brands, on the other — risks of centralization and privacy.
One thing is clear: the era #BigTechStablecoin is just beginning, and how it unfolds will determine the future of digital money for years to come.
#note I hear more and more often: “CEX or DEX – which is better?”, and it seems it's time to break it all down. Welcome to the mini-guide: #CEXvsDEX101
CEX (centralized exchanges) – these are guys like Binance, OKX, Bybit. Everything is simple here: a user-friendly interface, high liquidity, fiat support. But for this, you pay with privacy and risk being without access to your assets during freezes or failures.
DEX (decentralized exchanges) – Uniswap, PancakeSwap, dYdX, and similar ones. You are the sole owner of your keys, without intermediaries. Sounds cool? Yes. But let's not forget about the more complex UX, high volatility, and risks of scam projects.
So what to choose?
👉 If you are a beginner and speed and simplicity are important to you – CEX. 👉 If you value privacy, autonomy and are ready to figure things out – DEX.
Or better – be able to use both, to be flexible and free in any situation.
