Simple Psychology Tips Using Volume for Better TradingMany newer traders assume that when someone says "psychology" in trading, they are referring to mindset. It is also widely believed that trading is about the BEST entries. Now, think of it this way. It is not about winning trades, it is actually about managing losses well to allow you to take the winners over and over again. You might think that a 3 to 1 risk-to-reward strategy is boring, you might have gone all in on your favourite crypto project. But what makes the difference between gambling and trading is actually very, very simple. So simple, in fact, many overlook it or simply ignore it. Most seek a silver bullet - high win rates and perfectly timed entries, then they overleverage and move stops on the one "good trade" they are seeking to make. Whilst doing this, they tend to overload the 6 monitors they have purchased to trade with a thousand indicators, which they don't really need. The candlesticks tell a story, volume supports that story. When you learn any technique from Elliott Waves to Wyckoff, they all have a dependence on volume - even if the correlation is not apparent. Look at this first image. Price had moved down since the vertical line, the AD line also moved down - sell-off, in full swing. But then volume starts to shift before the AD line starts to increase. Now, look at what happens next... As we move forward and the new vertical line shows where volume spiked, the AD line starts to decrease as the price continues to rise. This is enough of a story to start your analysis. We then get a move with a lower high formed. As this plays out, the sell-side volume rises, creating momentum for the short position. Look a little closer and you will see, that the volume on the move up just before the drop was also decreasing. Making a divergence to price. You might feel that the market is against you, or that the big players are single-handedly seeking your stops. But the truth is, the psychology in moves such as this one shown is where most retail traders either have greed that markets will only go up for ever or the fear that they are missing out on a market that only goes up forever. It is that herd mentality that generates the liquidity for the professionals. Losing 1% on a trade, is part of the process, risking 80%> on a single move will make you paper rich for about 10 minutes before the real losses set in. This is where the psychology and the basic techniques such as risk management and understanding what candlesticks and volume bars are telling you, will make a world of difference to your results. A/D line and volume are free on @TradingView and to be fair you don't need to overcomplicate it more than that! Stay safe, have a great weekend all!!!

EURAUD – Incoming Upthrust? Accumulation or Distribution? Chart Context: EURAUD recently completed a sharp markdown after a textbook rising channel break. What’s interesting now is that price has entered what looks like a potential box range between 1.7768 and 1.7885. I'm anticipating a possible upthrust move into the 1.788x zone — and what follows will reveal the true intent. Here’s the internal debate: Are we looking at reaccumulation — smart money trapping shorts before driving higher in line with broader money flow? Or is this a distribution — where the market builds a false sense of support before deeper downside? 🔍 What tips the scale for now is this: >The overall money flow direction (via volume patterns + structure) has leaned bullish, so I’m favoring accumulation with a shakeout scenario. Signs I’m watching: ✅ Absorption volume near the bottom of the range ✅ Higher lows inside the zone ✅ Fake breakout / upthrust into prior structure ❌ Failure to hold above 1.7855 could flip the bias short-term 📉 Expecting one more dip to test demand, followed by range tightening, and if buyers show up strong — the breakout can get explosive. What’s your take? Are we prepping for a markup or will this fakeout and roll over? "I go long or short as close as I can to the danger point, and if the danger becomes real, I close out and take a small loss"

BTC Massive SetupConsolidation for months between 91k and 106k - Classic Wyckoff setup as an accumulation/distribution - Price targets of: 121.878 (122k is the popular target) to the upside with 75,827 on the down - Saylor today put out news to be raising another $2 billion to buy BTC. Either he is going to be able to hold the floor or get washed out - Trade can be taken with confirmation of breakout on either side pretty easily as momentum will be so strong that being on the wrong side will most likely be an immediate stop out

KLCI BULLISH This year, 2025, has been another challenging time in Bursa KLCI. I have been on the sideline most of the time, since August 2024 We initiated our real positions on 14-17/3/2025, following the follow-through day , however some of the positions knocked out n some thriving (e.g ecomate, profit taken) We then resumed our buying on 11/4/2025, as few stocks setting up with low risk entry point. Up until now, our portfolio has been growing up to total ROI of around 14-20%, with the heavy use of Margin. (e.g scgbhd, mnhldg, gamuda, suncon, pekat) Based on our current analysis of KLCI Index, we concluded that : 1/ Market probably has discounting all the possible worst case scenarios -Bottoming process is ongoing to complete . (A complete type 2 #Schematic Accmulation trading range? probably) -Tradingview does not provide the Volume data for KLCI Index, need to refer other sources 2/ Market is going for the markup phase 3/ Market is still in the hard-ringgit environment Our Bottom-Top approach, is purely based on the performance of individual stocks. Meaning, the stock itself dictate our tactics. And as always, my focus would be on the leaders, which granting me further leverage. I need to keep reminding myself, that in bull market, key is not to fight the market but to execute with precision n risk management. And I need to keep reminding myself again, that, it is ok to form an opinion. But always be ready to adapt to the portals of possibility. As.. I am in the 'responding business' . Not 'Predicting business'

BTC – Textbook Pullback. New ATHs. What’s Next?Back in mid-June, I published a BTC update calling for a local correction into HTF demand while most were screaming bear market and waiting for deeper breakdowns. Price action played out exactly as forecasted. BTC swept the $100k swing low, front-ran my first demand zone by $400, and launched into a powerful reversal — just like it did back in April, where it also front-ran the key HTF demand before rallying. That move took us straight into new all-time highs (ATHs) — now trading comfortably around $118k. 🧠 What Happened? ✅ Liquidity sweep of the prior low ✅ Front-run demand zone (perfect HTF structure) ✅ Strong bullish reaction and higher high ✅ Confluence from USDT.D rejection at 5.25% ✅ Alts showing signs of strength as BTC rallies The entire setup aligned perfectly across BTC, USDT.D, TOTAL, and OTHERS.D — all of which I’ve been tracking in tandem. 🔮 What Now? With BTC now in price discovery, I expect continuation higher — but not without the possibility of a short-term pullback. 📉 A potential retest of the $108k zone isn’t off the table. This level aligns with: - Prior breakout structure - Range high retest - Local demand before continuation But even if we go straight up — I remain HTF bullish into the final phase of this cycle, supported by: - USDT.D structure still bearish - BTC.D showing signs of distribution - ETH.D and OTHERS.D gaining momentum - Altseason rotation already starting to pick up 🧭 The Macro Outlook The 4-year cycle projection still points to a Q3 2025 top — likely between August late and September based on historical cycle timing, but this could deviate. That gives us a window of 2–3 months for this final leg to unfold — and it’s already in motion. Stay focused. Stick to your plan. Ride the trend, don’t chase it. Let me know what levels you're watching next, and whether you think we get that $108k retest — or we go vertical from here. 1D: 3D: 4D: 1W: 1M: — Marshy 🔥

Wyckoff Structure Targets 92K–94K Retest Before Continuation!A rare and highly instructive market structure is currently unfolding, presenting a textbook case of Wyckoff pattern integration across multiple timeframes. Over the past weeks, I’ve been tracking a series of smaller Wyckoff accumulation and distribution patterns nested within a larger overarching Wyckoff structure. Each of these smaller formations has now successfully completed its expected move — validating the precision of supply/demand mechanics and the theory’s predictive strength. With these mini-cycles resolved, the spotlight now shifts to the final, dominant Wyckoff structure — a larger accumulation phase that encompasses the full breadth of recent market activity. According to the logic of Phase C transitioning into Phase D, price appears poised to revisit the key retest zone between 92,000 and 94,000, a critical area of prior resistance turned demand. 📉 Current Market Behavior: 📐 Multiple minor Wyckoff patterns (accumulations/distributions) have played out as expected, both upward and downward — lending high credibility to the current macro setup. 🧩 All formations are nested within a major accumulation structure, now in the final phase of testing support. 🔁 The expected move is a pullback toward the 92K–94K zone, before the markup phase resumes with higher conviction. 📊 Wyckoff Confidence Factors: ✅ All Phase C spring and upthrust actions respected ✅ Volume behavior aligns with Wyckoff principles (climactic action → absorption → trend continuation) ✅ Clean reaccumulation signs within current structure ✅ Institutional footprint visible through shakeouts and well-defined support/resistance rotations 💬 Observation / Call to Action: This setup is a rare opportunity to witness multi-layered Wyckoff theory in motion, offering not only a high-probability trading setup but also an educational blueprint. I invite fellow traders and Wyckoff analysts to share their interpretations or challenge the current thesis. ➡️ Do you see the same structural roadmap? Let’s discuss in the comments.

GBPCAD 4H long setupGBPCAD 4H Spring 💡 | Smart Money Accumulation Before Expansion Watching a textbook Wyckoff spring unfold here on the 4H. After a multi-day rally, price retraced, and liquidity built up just above 1.8713. What happened next? 🔻 We got a liquidity sweep, tagging below 1.8687 — then a sharp rejection wick back into the range. That’s the spring. 🧠 Why this matters: Liquidity below the range is now likely cleared. Smart money triggered stops and may now flip positioning. Buyer momentum reclaiming the broken zone signals strength returning. 🎯 My Play: Long entry after reclaim above 1.8713 Stop below 1.8687 wick low Targeting 1.8828 > 1.8830 as TP1 Extended TP at 1.8928 — aligning with prior supply zone ⚠️ Invalidation if we lose 1.8685 with momentum and no absorption. This is not a chase trade — it’s a calculated entry after weak hands were shaken out. Let the market prove strength, then ride the reversion. 📈 If this spring holds, I expect continuation toward prior highs.

US 30 Potential longUS30 – Wyckoff Spring Setup for NY Session | Intraday Execution Play Price rallied in the London session with rising volume and structure breaks — Now we’re anticipating a classic Wyckoff spring scenario just ahead of NY open. 📍 Key Expectations: Sweep of intraday support around 43,482 Strong buyer reaction (spring confirmation) Expansion into the 43,600+ zone — possible 1.5R+ continuation ⚠️ Volume buildup + stop placement below prior structure make this zone ripe for a fakeout → reversal. I’m watching for a quick flush below the line → wick rejection → engulfing confirmation to trigger longs. This is a trap trade — smart money baits shorts, I’m betting they get squeezed. 🔫 Entry: On confirmation after spring 📉 Invalidation: Below the spring low 🎯 Target: 43,610 zone and trailing after break of 43,570 Let them walk into the trap. Then pull the trigger.
