I think CT can be both the best and the worst thing that ever happened to your trading journey. The best because there are genuinely a few accounts out there that provide valuable educational content for free. People willing to learn can find traders sharing insights, explaining concepts, introducing different approaches and offering perspectives that might help you understand things you were previously missing. But it can also be the worst, and in some cases, it might actually do more harm than good. The amount of noise, larping and KOLs trying to shill you the next gem is bigger than ever, and with the AI narrative, it doesn't look like it's getting any better. You can have a perfectly reasonable read on price, a setup you've carefully analysed and a thesis you believe in. Then you open X, see someone with a supposedly much better track record or more experience expressing the opposite view, and suddenly you start questioning your own analysis. Sometimes you even end up changing your bias based on someone else's conviction rather than your own reasoning. I think the biggest takeaway is that there's absolutely nothing wrong with being on CT, following interesting accounts and learning from people who are further ahead in their journey. But always take things with a grain of salt. Don't just consume information, question it, understand the reasoning behind it and, most importantly, learn how to adapt it to your own trading style. The goal should be to use CT to develop your own edge and learn, not to outsource your decision-making to someone else. At the end of the day, nobody is going to build consistency for you. You have to do the work, make your own mistakes and develop the conviction to stand by your analysis when it makes sense and change your mind when the market proves you wrong, not simply because someone on X said otherwise.

hey @wmd4x, would you call this a FDF hokey-pokey structure on the $BTC 4H chart?

This PA is beyond tiring... just send us to a relief pump or something at least 😮‍💨

near:native Caught most of the move up and closed my trades around $4+. Still holding a spot bag. Price pulled back to the range high it broke out from and is now testing it as support. If it holds, I think it’s well set up for a push to a new HH. Asymmetric.

Gm $BTC

If history repeats itself... $BTC

$BTC.D BTC dominance topped around 66% in June 2025, then appears to have bottomed exactly one year later, in June 2026, around 58%. Since then, has been slowly grinding higher and is now back around 60%. If we reclaim the 2024 highs, could we see another leg towards the 2025 highs? Something worth keeping an eye on imo.

Could it be? Or more down? 🤔 $BTC

ethereum:native Also started to build a swing position around 2k. We might have some dips lower where I intend to add to my position. Wouldn't love to seee ETH go all the way down to the range lows at 1500, although would be extremely cheap ETH. My invalidation for this trade is a clear break and close below the blue box. Asymmetric.

pretty neat 👌

ethereum:0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933 Judging by today's daily candle, if it closes engulfing the previous one, it looks like my thesis is going in the right direction, but my execution was wrong. I should've given the trade more room to breathe instead of getting stopped out by Monday's wick. A lesson to take forward.

Been going through some of @wmd4x's older Forex videos on using trendlines as S/R levels. Simple concepts, but surprisingly effective. Still a lot to learn but experimenting with them on LTFs for intraday trading, and here's a perfect example of how well they can work. Always something to learn from the OG stuff. bitcoin:native

Guys like this are exactly why crypto is so widely criticized, disbelieved and dismissed as a fucking scam. The industry doesn't just have a credibility problem. It has an influencer problem. You have people with massive audiences, influence and reach who spend their days shilling whatever garbage they can find, dressing up blatant promotion as market insight and using their followers as exit liquidity. No standards, no accountability, no genuine interest in whether the people listening to them actually make money (something I will also never understand, why a grown up man/woman would follow what another person says blindly). Just engagement farming, pumping bags and moving on to the next narrative when the previous one inevitably falls apart with his followers money. And then these same people have the audacity to complain that nobody takes crypto seriously, that retail has disappeared and that the industry is dying. Maybe start by looking in the fucking mirror. You cannot spend years exploiting the very people who give you your influence and then act surprised when nobody trusts a word coming out of this industry. Crypto doesn't just need more adoption. It needs fewer people like this. I might not be filthy rich but at least I sleep good at night.
