⑤ Only after you solve the first four questions will you truly stand at the starting line of trading
Pay attention.
What I covered earlier—
income sources, daily routine, time you can trade, trading instruments, your personal character, your trading style…
All of it is just to help you reach: the starting line.
Not the finish line.
Only after you’ve truly reached the starting line do you begin the part everyone is most familiar with:
learning.
And not learning one or two indicators;
not stopping once you know what support and resistance are.
You must first gain broad understanding of:
Scalping—very short-term trading / scalp trading: frequent trades within a very short time (seconds to minutes) to profit from small price fluctuations Day Trading: opening and closing positions on the same day, without holding overnight Swing Trading: capturing market swings over several days to a few weeks, aiming to profit from swing trends Trend Following: trading in line with the market’s main direction—for example, going long in an uptrend and short in a downtrend Breakout Trading: entering the market when price breaks through a key resistance or support level Mean Reversion: trading that assumes when price deviates from normal levels, it will return to the average value, seeking opportunities from that Technical Analysis: analyzing the market through candlesticks, indicators, volume, and price structure Fundamental Analysis: studying a project’s value—such as the team, economic data, industry development, and more Macro: macroeconomic analysis studying how the global economic environment (interest rates, inflation, the US dollar, policies, etc.) affects the market Risk Management: controlling trading risk, including stop-losses, position sizes, and capital protection Position Sizing: position management—deciding how much capital to risk or allocate to each trade based on your account size and risk Trading Psychology: managing emotions, discipline, and execution ability to prevent fear and greed from affecting your trading
Then test them one by one.
You must personally know:
what suits you. what doesn’t suit you.
This is not something others can tell you directly.

Will the Federal Reserve raise rates as expected this week? Wall Street is debating: will it end the U.S. stock bull market?
After an unexpectedly strong U.S. CPI report came out last Friday, traders generally expect the Federal Reserve to begin raising rates at this week’s policy meeting—marking the first rate hike in more than three years.
Historically, previous rounds of rate hikes have offered a reference point for today’s market. Based on past experience (though history of course can’t guarantee the future), U.S. stocks may first weaken, then rebound.
Among the six tightening cycles since 1994, during the first four months after the rate-hike cycle began, the S&P 500’s average return was negative.
This suggests that once the “rate-hike shoe” drops, U.S. stocks may look lackluster through the beginning of next year.
As of the close last Friday, the benchmark U.S. equity index, the S&P 500, is up nearly 12% year to date. Strong corporate earnings and a fairly resilient economy have provided solid support for bulls in the stock market.
If you extend the time horizon, the S&P 500’s performance tends to improve gradually: in the 12 months after the start of a rate-hiking cycle, the index’s average return is close to 7%, with a median return of about 11%. (Using median-based statistics helps remove distortions from extreme outliers—for example, the index surged more than 40% after hikes began in March 1997.)
If the Federal Reserve implements a rate hike this Wednesday, it will be the first hike since July 2023—when the Fed raised rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%.
Currently, the federal funds rate in the U.S. is at 3.50% to 3.75%. According to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, futures traders currently assign an 86% probability to a 25-basis-point hike this week.
One positive factor for the market is that mega-scale cloud service providers are still driving growth in excess returns through large-scale AI spending. The S&P 500 component stocks’ forecast for earnings growth in 2027 is expected to reach double digits. If the outlook for AI spending remains unchanged, it may be enough to offset any cooling in optimistic sentiment caused by the rate hikes.
Another bright spot for equities is that although inflation remains sticky, it appears to be slowing. The inflation rate has fallen from a May peak of 4.2%. This should allow the Federal Reserve to take a more gradual approach, and the data shows that the pace of rate hikes is crucial for stock performance—slower pacing gives investors more time to absorb policy changes! $BZ

You’re buying sufficiently large volatility, not a single directional view. Even if you guess the direction correctly, you can still lose due to the option premium, time decay, and the decline in implied volatility.

With the same basket of assets, why do two different prices appear? First, look at the subscription/redemption access rights and settlement rules; the price spread is not equal to the profit you can obtain after deducting fees.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are full of worries over money; I roam everywhere in the four directions—east, south, west, and north. 🔥 I’ve tasted every kind of hardship in the coin world, just to never bow my head in front of people. 🔥 There is no way back in life—once the principal is gone, who can keep it? 🔥 Hoping the market will turn warm again, more take-profits and fewer worries. 🔥
Bitcoin rebounds—will it continue to rise further?
✅ Reasons for the rebound: Price pulled back to support above the 75,000 level that has been confirmed multiple times in the past, triggering the rebound. Rebound targets: First target at 78,500; next resistance at 80,500. For more cautious investors, take profit around 78,500; spot holdings can take profits in batches.
✅ My view: The market is highly uncertain right now, so it’s not suitable for long-term holding. Tomorrow’s bill, Wednesday’s interest rate hike, and officials’ remarks are all unknown variables. The priority is to lock in existing profits, then re-enter with a heavier position once the market becomes clearer.
During yesterday’s sharp sell-off, I advised setting up spot positions around 76,000; it has now risen nearly 2,000 points. Strategy logic: Buy at support to catch the rebound; take profit at resistance. Do not open positions unless support is reached; if the price continues to surge and approaches the resistance zone, you can try shorting.
Strong resistance is at 81,000–82,000. Attempt shorts in this range; the expected win rate is about 70%. Swing trade based on support and resistance—if the price breaks out, cut losses. In complex market conditions, I’ll keep digging for opportunities and synchronize my real-time trading mindset every day.

What you’re looking at is the relative price spread between two assets, not a simple buy-and-sell. First, verify the relationship and the hedging ratio, and watch out for relationship breakdowns and one-leg fills.
