🔑 Core Idea
Crypto market moves in trends.
If you learn to identify the trend, trading becomes much easier.
Markets mainly move in two ways:
📈 Uptrend (Bull Market)📉 Downtrend (Bear Market)
Your job is not to predict, but to follow the trend.
📈 What is an Uptrend? (Bull Market)
An uptrend means price is moving upward.
How to identify an uptrend:
Price makes Higher Highs (HH)Price makes Higher Lows (HL)
➡️ This structure shows buyers are in control.
Important rule:
Always analyze trend from higher timeframes:
✅ Daily (1D)✅ Weekly
Lower timeframes don’t matter if they go against the higher timeframe trend.
🟢 Trading Rule in an Uptrend
Only look for BUY setupsAvoid selling or shortingHolding positions with the trend gives strong ROI
📌 Example from Bitcoin:
BTC formed higher lows from ~16k upwardTrend stayed bullish until the last higher low brokeEven late entries still worked as long as trend was intact
➡️ Trend > perfect entry
📉 What is a Downtrend? (Bear Market)
A downtrend means price is moving downward.
How to identify a downtrend:
Price makes Lower Highs (LH)Price makes Lower Lows (LL)
➡️ This shows sellers are in control.
🔴 Trading Rule in a Downtrend
Only look for SHORT / SELL setupsAvoid buying against the trendNo proper long opportunities on higher timeframe
📌 Example from Bitcoin:
Once BTC broke its last higher low (~107k)Trend shifted bearishPrice formed lower highs and lower lowsSince then, market favored shorts only
