On the auspicious occasion of Shubh Navratri, I had another interesting Bitcoin trading experience that brought together several aspects of the way I now study markets: higher-timeframe structure, liquidity, multi-timeframe analysis, TradingView indicators, and my own UEI UA, CDE and other systems. I had been observing BTC for several hours during the day while also […]

Trading often looks simple after the move is complete. A chart shows a rejection, price falls, and the move appears obvious in hindsight. But while a trade is actually unfolding, there is no hindsight. There are competing possibilities, counter-moves, liquidity sweeps, failed breakouts, temporary reversals, changing momentum and constant uncertainty. That is why this BTC […]

On October 2, 2026, I entered a short position in Bitcoin shortly after the 6:00 PM IST scheduled market event. My market sell was filled at: BTCUSD Short Entry: $86,796.5 at 6:01:47 PM IST Several hours later, after Bitcoin had fallen substantially and bounced from the day’s low, I closed the position at: BTCUSD Market […]

Bitcoin had just produced a remarkably fast upward move. After trading around the mid-$75,000 region only days earlier, BTC accelerated above $87,000 and reached an eight-month high of approximately $87,359. The move looked powerful on the surface, and there were legitimate bullish factors behind it: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs had recorded approximately $999 million in […]

Trading is not only about understanding price, structure, liquidity and market participation. Sometimes an equally important question is much simpler: Will I actually be available to manage the trade? On the night of September 17, 2026, I entered a Bitcoin long trade at 76,680.0. My broader analysis suggested that BTC had the potential to move […]

Trading a major economic catalyst is not only about deciding whether price will go up or down. Sometimes the more useful question is: What if we do not know which direction will come first—and what if the market travels significantly in both directions? On September 16, 2026, ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s FOMC event, […]

On 15 September 2026, I watched U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent testify live before the House Financial Services Committee while simultaneously studying Bitcoin through my complete macro-to-micro trading setup. Bitcoin was already presenting developing information across the charts. Rather than assuming what the Secretary might say or trying to predict how the market should react, […]

On Ganesh Chaturthi today, I took two small Bitcoin trades. Together, they captured approximately 548.5 BTC price points: Trade 1: Short from 77,836.5 → exit at 77,516.0 = 320.5 points captured in ~20 minutes Trade 2: Short from 78,171.0 → exit at 77,943.0 = 228 points captured in ~1.5 minutes I am deliberately not mentioning […]

Capturing a 776-Point Bitcoin Move During US CPI: Preparation, Liquidity and Risk Management On 11 September 2026, ahead of a major US inflation catalyst, I had already established a short position in Bitcoin at 77,080.5. At 6:00 PM IST, the catalyst arrived. Within seconds, Bitcoin entered an extraordinarily volatile period. Price initially moved sharply upward […]

Right Analysis. Timely Execution. Meaningful Moves. A reflection from my trading journey Trading is often viewed through numbers—entries, exits, points, profits and losses. But behind every trade is something far more important: a decision made under uncertainty. For me, trading is an ongoing journey of observation, patience, discipline and continuous learning. A recent Bitcoin trade […]

Be Careful with Crypto Live Channels – My Real Experience I entered a short trade on BTCUSD around 87,300 after a clear breakdown confirmation at intraday range support, having observed the chart closely. While in the trade, I was watching a crypto live stream from a channel with a large subscriber base. The person hosting […]
