Location, Location, Location!!!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. An inspired thought — a glimpse of future achievement — can activate a cocktail of serotonin and dopamine, giving us a real sensation of power. And yet… did anything really change?
This is where ancient voices — shamans, philosophers, and modern mentors — whisper:
“You are already there…”
But are you really?
The answer is Yes… and No.
You feel the outcome, but you haven’t earned it yet. You’re not truly there until you’ve gone through the effort — the hours and hours of disciplined study, reflection, and ignoring the mental traps like “take a break,” “you have time,” or “scroll a bit.” Power, in this case, is the Knowledge itself — and to approach Power, you must become Power. Or else, it will crush you — like a boot crushes an ant. (Yes, that’s borrowed from the Avengers… we all need a laugh too.)
To actually reach that imagined reality, you must prove yourself to the knowledge itself. You have to earn it — through discipline, sacrifice, and unbroken focus. That means hours of study, observation, application, and repetition — no matter how many distractions your mind throws at you.
Focus on one subject until it bends for you.
Focus like your life depends on it.
Because in a way… it does.
🧠 Opportunity Cost = Power Equation
This focused, intentional work is what economists call Opportunity Cost. It’s the measure of how productively you spend your time. Every marked level, every reaction, every shift in volume is either:
• A step closer to mastery, or
• A missed opportunity, depending on what you choose to focus on.
TradingView becomes your journal.

A tool to track your evolution — mentally and technically.
🔍 The SHIBA/USDT 4H Breakdown
On the 4H chart of Shiba Inu, key swing levels are marked — targets that can serve as entry/exit decisions depending on your strategy.
But the magic is not in the lines.
It’s in how volume reacts to those levels.
🔺 Volume — The King
Currently, the 4H Volume shows signs of a bearish continuation. But lower timeframes are beginning to show the initial signs of accumulation — strength where weakness used to live.
This is the beginning of Effort vs Result analysis:
• Are we seeing strong volume but no progress? (Demand absorption?)
• Are we seeing low-effort pushes into supply that fail to break key levels?
That’s how Smart Money behaves. Quietly, strategically, and always one step ahead.
And all this happens near key demand/supply zones — where Location meets Volume.
🔄 Timeframe Psychology: Past–Present–Future
Lower timeframes = The Past (they push).
Higher timeframes = The Future (they pull).
Your active timeframe = The Now — where you make your move.
A shift on the 3M chart might hint, but until it aligns with the 1H or 4H, nothing is confirmed. That’s why true traders are observers first, executors second.
🎯 Alignment: Levels, Volume, Effort
• 📍 Levels: They are not just technical — they are psychological battlegrounds.
• 🔊 Volume: It shows us where energy is being spent and whether it’s paying off.
• 🧱 Effort vs Result: The ultimate measure of Smart Money’s hidden hand.
When everything aligns, you don’t guess — you act.
🧭 Final Thoughts
At the time of this writing — 17:26 IST on June 18, 2025 — the 4H chart remains bearish in tone. But markets shift fast, and for all I know, a power transition could be unfolding on a micro timeframe as I type. That’s the nature of this game.
