Predicting the market requires skill. Most traders fail at one crucial point: they don’t see the market as a living, breathing organism—a structure where one move leads to another, like cause and effect in motion. That’s what we often call reading the psychology of the market. When you begin to grasp the fundamental principles behind that, you step into the realm...
Despite the fact that the so-called “Big Players” in the game of ups and downs we call the market have the power to manipulate it in ways some cannot even imagine, what they ultimately seek is a healthy market. I’ve mentioned in previous posts that the market behaves like a living organism — and like any organism, it must be healthy in order to grow. In simple...
We’ve all heard trading terms like Major Trend and Major Counter-Trend levels. These are zones where price either breaks through and continues (Trend Levels) or sharply reverses (Counter-Trend Levels). In the crypto world, these levels are often separated by enormous gaps, due to the nature of the space — as I’ve mentioned in a previous idea: Crypto Charts...
Knowledge is Power! But how deeply do most people really understand this? The average mind thinks power comes from possessing knowledge. But here’s a deeper truth — simply imagining yourself with mastery can trigger powerful feelings. Why? Because as Terence McKenna once described, the human brain is a chemical factory.

The big players—whales, institutions, banks—are deliberately engineering traps to absorb liquidity from uninformed retail traders, boosting their profits and power. Some informed retail traders like...
When a trend approaches its end, we typically observe the formation of a buying or selling climax. That was certainly the case during Wyckoff’s era. Everything he described—market manipulation, signals, footprints—remains relevant today. But you know what that also means: if it's out there, it’s old news. Yes, this is still happening, but we need to acknowledge...
Many traders rely on technical indicators to identify opportunities for profit—that's the whole point of this game. Whether it’s scalping, day trading, swing trading, or shorting the market, most trading decisions are based on indicator readings—be it a single indicator or a combination of several. But here’s the truth: not all traders truly understand what an...
This analysis explores the often-overlooked world of hidden RSI divergences — not just on the macro scale, but candle by candle, within the microstructure of price. By comparing price action and indicator behavior over a sequence of three candles, this method reveals early signs of trend continuation or exhaustion. The aim is to guide observant traders toward...
