2 stops yesterday. 1 trade still running.

Not every setup works out. That's trading.

And that's exactly why risk management matters.

You don't need to win every trade. You need to make sure the losing trades don't hurt you enough to keep you out of the game.

As Paul Tudor Jones puts it:

“The most important rule is to play great defense, not great offense.”

$ETH JUST HIT $2,300 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 3 MONTHS

This is what happens when you underestimate what big players can do with a low-cap Binance Alpha token like $BTW .

What actually drove the move from around $0.40 all the way to $0.70+ was a clear fundamental catalyst: Binance Wallet launched Earn Booster Season 5 for Bitway on August 19, offering a $200K $BTW reward pool for depositing into the U vault. On a relatively low-cap Alpha name, that kind of incentive is serious fuel.

But there was another interesting part of the move: the short trap.

Before the rally, the chart looked bearish and was setting up for a breakdown. That attracted shorts. Instead of breaking down, price reversed sharply. This is one way liquidity gets trapped: make the breakdown look convincing, bring in the shorts, then reverse the move and squeeze them.

We took a small loss here after the 1H candle closed above $0.3920, invalidating the setup. Loss was roughly 3.2% - 9.5%, depending on the entry.

This is also a reminder that Binance Alpha tokens don’t move on TA alone.

Fundamentals play a massive role. We entered based on the technical picture and paid the price for ignoring the catalyst that was sitting right in front of us. On these names, you need both. Ignore either side and you get run over.

Another reminder: respect your stop-loss rules when the setup is invalidated.

This is the face I make when I leave the lab and think about how to do DCA on the BNB

$STAR just printed a classic blow-off top after surging into resistance

Price got aggressively rejected near $0.1515 and immediately rolled over, signaling that buyers have run out of steam and sellers are stepping in to absorb liquidity.

Short Trade Plan:

- Entry 1 (at CMP): $0.1235 – $0.1260

- Entry 2 (Resistance Retest): $0.1290 – $0.1330

Targets:
TP1: $0.1165
TP2: $0.1060
TP3: $0.0950

Stop Loss (SL): 1H close above $0.1385

$CHIP pumped from $0.02147 to $0.03315+ before getting rejected hard by high-wick distribution candles, signaling clear selling pressure at the top.

Price is currently consolidating below $0.02950 - $0.03000, but the relief bounce lacks buyer momentum

The key level to watch is $0.02680. A 1H close below it could open the door to $0.02150.

Trade Plan:

- Entry 1 (Possible Relief Bounce): $0.02920 – $0.02980

Targets:
TP1: $0.02700
TP2: $0.02500
TP3: $0.02150

Stop Loss: $0.03080

- Entry 2 (Confirmation Breakdown): 1H candle close below $0.02680 or a weak retest of $0.02720 - $0.02750

Targets:
TP1: $0.02500
TP2: $0.02150

Stop Loss: $0.02820

Keep your position size small. This kind of volatile pair can attempt liquidity wicks before the bigger move starts.

$RED just made a massive run into resistance before quickly losing steam.

That big spike looks more like a short squeeze followed by heavy selling than a real breakout.

Short Trade Plan:

Entry 1: $0.1040 – $0.1070 (at CMP)

Entry 2: $0.1080 – $0.1110 (on a failed retest of this zone)

Targets:
TP1: $0.0950
TP2: $0.0875
TP3: $0.0825

Stop Loss: 1H close above $0.1160

WAL-SUI Vault on @Haedal Protocol is looking pretty strong lately 👀

APY is now above 100%, with the yield trend continuing to climb over the past few days.

Definitely one of the vaults worth keeping an eye on right now. 🦦🌊

$AKE dumped 5 days before its last unlock in April.

We're now 5 days out from the next one. August 21. Roughly 2.1 billion $AKE hitting the market.

History loves to repeat itself in this game.

But this time feels different. The market's had time to price this one in. Everybody who watched April knows what's coming. That alone changes the setup.

Still, time is ticking. 5 days is close enough that anyone holding should be paying attention, not hoping.

Would I short right now? Nah. Not without confirmation on a real breakdown.

Do you see $AKE dumping before the 21st, or do you think it will pull another rally to trick shorts and trap buyers?

In the first week of August, I shared a setup I identified on $BEAT , specifically highlighting $0.2628 as a potential demand zone where I expected price could eventually drop to as the larger structure developed.

But our immediate focus was different: we wanted to catch the higher-timeframe bearish move toward $1.00 first, before looking for the much larger downside toward $0.2628.

However, price spiked sharply to $3.70 to sweep liquidity, taking us out of our short before turning around and dumping over 90% directly into our $0.2628 macro target.

Direction was 100% right, but our timing got squeezed.

Sometimes the market grabs extra liquidity just to knock tight stops out before making the real move. It ruins our initial entry, but it doesn't change where price is ultimately headed.

How to play it next time: Wait for the fake pump to cool down, let lower timeframes turn bearish again, and re-enter.

@Haedal Protocol : don't just look at the price 👀

Right now, the price of $HAEDAL isn't far from its all-time low. The token recently touched around 0.0141$, and despite that, the team keeps building within the SUI ecosystem.

That's exactly what interests me.

Because a project can be near its bottom, not make much noise on the market, yet keep developing solid products behind the scenes.

And that's the case with Haedal Protocol.
Personally, I prefer to look at what's being built rather than just staring at the chart.
The market can ignore a project for a while, and then at any moment, the project can wake up.
A new integration, a new product, a new narrative around SUI… and everything can change quickly.
I'm not saying $HAEDAL is necessarily going to explode. This isn't investment advice.

But I'm keeping an eye on it.
Because sometimes, the projects we take lightly today are the ones everyone will be talking about tomorrow.

The market makers really are the Wild West of crypto. 😂

$VELVET finally delivered the massive breakout we were targeting.

However, as many of you know, our trade was stopped out before this expansion took place.

What actually happened? This was a textbook liquidity grab. Market makers drove price down into the $0.48 - $0.53 demand zone to sweep all the tight resting stops sitting below $0.60 before launching the real rally.

Our macro invalidation was $0.42, but giving a trade 40% downside just to avoid getting wicked out makes zero sense.

The analysis and setup direction were spot on. The only thing that wasn’t correct was thinking market makers would play fair.

And here's the lesson:

Getting stopped out by a liquidity sweep doesn't mean the setup was wrong. If price comes back and reclaims the zone on the lower timeframe, that's usually your cleaner re-entry, same target as before.

Also watching $CAP for a possible re-entry. My bearish bias remains intact.

Imagine buying heavily into what was sold as the next generation blockchain, back when the promises were big and the token was hot. You decided to hold until the next bull run. HODL was the deal. That word became the lie sold to people who believed in a future the builders may never have believed in themselves.

But the real nightmare was never the failed promises. It was watching your moonbag bleed out year after year while the myth of the next super-cycle kept you holding on. There were moments you could have cut your losses. But the promise of "just one more cycle" kept you in.

Then, before you even got the chance to face that truth, the protocol holding your bag got exploited. Four billion tokens minted out of nothing in a matter of hours. The coin you bought near its $0.38 all-time high crashed to under a tenth of a cent. Almost wiped out completely, and not from a bear market this time, but from a breach.

So when do you finally move on? Is holding still faith, or is it denial wearing a prettier name? And if you do sell now, is a fraction of a cent still worth calling an exit?

So many people in crypto are living this exact cycle right now. It's heartbreaking watching a promising project turn into a painful lesson. Hopefully we take the lesson with us.

$AKE ! Final liquidity grab before the dump? This is getting scarier than $RAVE🤣🤣

$US Setup Played Out Perfectly!

Entry 1 triggered and $US dropped all the way to $0.0200, smashing TP3 and giving us a 50%+ drop.

It took a couple of days, but patience paid off.

If you caught this move, it's okay to secure full profits and close out here.

Our $BICO short played out as planned.

TP1 and TP2 have both been hit, giving us a solid move down from the breakdown.

If you caught this trade, you can lock in most of your profits here and let the rest run toward TP3 and TP4.

After a massive 600%+ run fueled by the InferBench launch and Upbit listing hype, $CYS is now showing signs of a “buy the rumor, sell the news” move.

The daily chart just printed a heavy bearish engulfing candle, almost wiping out the entire Upbit listing pump.

Looks like distribution is finally kicking in, so I'm watching these possible short entries:

$CYS Short Setup:

- Entry 1: $1.42 – $1.48
(On a pullback and rejection from this zone)

TP1: $1.19
TP2: $0.83
TP3: $0.48
TP4: $0.22

Stop Loss: $1.60

- Entry 2: 4H close below $1.30 or retest rejection
(If we don’t get the pullback and price continues to break down)

TP1: $1.17
TP2: $0.83
TP3: $0.48
TP4: $0.22

Stop Loss: $1.40
