Gold in 2026: Yields and the dollar are the real players
What could change the trend? Federal Reserve meeting minutes (Wednesday): reveal how divided policymakers are over interest rates. If they show a preference for waiting, gold may get some relief. 10-year Treasury auction (Wednesday): a gauge of demand for long-term debt. 30-year Treasury auction (Thursday): a weak auction could push long-term yields higher, which would be negative for gold.
🔥 TOTAL1, TOTAL2, and TOTAL3: The Secret Weapon for Reading Crypto Market Trends
📊 What are these indicators? These indicators show the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies from different perspectives: TOTAL1: The entire market, including Bitcoin.

Macroeconomy: Weak jobs and shifting rate expectations The biggest driver of prices this week was U.S. labor market data. Hiring slowed markedly in September, prompting traders to rule out a rate hike at the Fed’s October meeting. Meanwhile, the dollar index jumped to 102.53, its highest level since April 2025, which could put pressure on riskier assets. (Bitcoin price prediction for October: Best and worst cases for BTC +2)
$BTC 🔹 Episode 2: Price and Value In the previous episode, we learned that the market is an auction. Today, we’ll distinguish between two things: • Price: what you pay now. • Value: the level at which the market accepts sustained trading. When price moves far away from value, opportunities emerge: either a new value area forms, or price returns to the previous value area. Understanding this difference is the foundation for everything that follows. In your opinion, is Bitcoin in a fair-value area, or will it return to the previous fair-value area for trading?

🔹 Episode 1: The auction market—no mystery Have you ever wondered why the price rises and then returns? 🤔 Auction market theory says the market is a continuous auction whose function is to facilitate exchange. Prices move up and down to discover the level that the largest number of buyers and sellers are willing to accept. If the price rises too much, buyers withdraw; if it drops, they enter. Peter Steidlmayer laid its foundations on the Chicago Stock Exchange, and it applies to stocks, futures, and digital currencies.

Which continuation pattern do you follow most in your trading: flags, triangles, or rectangles? 👇
📌 Continuation Patterns on the chart: When does the price stop only to continue its trend? In the middle of any upward or downward trend, the price sometimes pauses to move sideways or in a more orderly manner for a short period, before strongly continuing in its original direction. These pauses are not random; they take recurring shapes called Continuation Patterns. Understanding them helps distinguish a "temporary break" from a "true reversal".
Have you ever lost your confidence after a wrong trade even though your analysis was logical? Share your experience 👇
📌 Common myth: "Technical analysis predicts the future" Many new traders believe that mastering chart reading and indicators gives them the near-certain ability to know where the price will go next. This belief is one of the biggest reasons for losing confidence after the first wrong trade, because the trader feels as if “my analysis failed,” whereas the truth is completely different.

📌 Episode 10: The Summary — Trading «in the Zone» Douglas brings together the book’s ideas into a central concept: successful trading is not purely an analytical skill, but a mental state he calls “the Zone,” where the trader moves in complete harmony with the market—without fear, greed, or the need to be right. In this state, the trader reads the market objectively because beliefs no longer block information; they execute their plan automatically because discipline has become a habit rather than a battle of willpower; and they accept every outcome as a natural part of a long-term probability distribution. And the book’s final message: you can’t control the market, but you can fully control yourself—and that alone is enough to create the difference between a random trader and a consistent trader. 💡 Practical Idea: Print the Five Facts (Episode 6) and put them in front of you—they are the essence of everything above. #TradingInTheZone #Binance #خلاصة_الكتاب
