Step out of your comfort zone and expose yourself to the discomfort that indicates you can learn, that there may be growth and novelty. Dare to take that step, to start that project, that journey, that adventure. No one is interested in watching a movie where the protagonist is comfortably sitting on the couch without facing challenges and obstacles, right?
Trading speaks to your behavior, being a trader speaks to your identity. Your identity cannot be given to you by others, you have to claim it yourself.
💥 The Fed's minutes reveal a rate cut in December on the edge, Bitcoin falls below The recently released minutes of the Federal Reserve from the meeting on October 28 to 29 have thrown new uncertainty on the policy outlook for December, sharpening market volatility in stocks, bonds, and Bitcoin. Although the minutes reflect economic data only available at the time of the meeting, the change in language within the document has become the latest focal point for analysts dissecting the Fed's next move.
Because in the first case you can change what leads you to get lost, while in the second case you don't know where to start. Hence, keeping track of your operations and maintaining a good trading journal can make a difference as it will give you the information you need to improve your results. If you limit yourself to trading, without recording or reflecting, sometimes you will win and you won't be able to replicate what has given you those results.
💥 The death cross and the different perspectives according to each person....(Each teacher with their own book 🤔) The death cross of Bitcoin has become the most observed metric in the market after the price fell below $100,000. This technical pattern, where the 50-day SMA crosses below the 200-day SMA, usually appears near bottoms, although the current conditions differ from previous cycles. The question is whether it will be a real bottom or a precursor to a deeper fall.
BEING A TRADER: THE ART OF BREAKING YOURSELF TO REBORN
BEING A TRADER: THE ART OF BREAKING YOURSELF TO REBORN Being a trader is not just about trading in the markets. It's about looking in the mirror and facing the most brutal reflection of yourself. There are no excuses here, no shortcuts, no luck. It's just you, your mind, and the will not to give up when everything seems to collapse. An authentic trader does not seek to be right, they seek to grow. They learn to lose with humility, to win without arrogance, and to stand firm when the world shakes. Because in this profession, the battle is not against the market... it is against oneself.
If you cling to defending opinions while ignoring the facts, you do it for psychological reasons. Be true to the truth and free yourself from the need to protect your opinions. They will always lead you further.
To do this, always maintain two scenarios: "70% bullish above this level and 30% bearish." By accepting the probability of the opposite scenario, you won't get stuck defending your opinions, and it will be easier for you to keep your focus on straight execution.
Having the environment against you and not feeling recognized or understood are additional obstacles that are not often talked about but make this project much more difficult. Keeping a low profile and not sharing what one does can be valid strategies if it is suspected that one does not have the support or understanding of others.
Beyond the total outcome, ask yourself about each winning trade: Would I take that entry again if I didn't know the result? If so, ask yourself how you could have managed it better. If not, find the reason that led you away from your trading plan. Then analyze the losing trades and ask yourself the same: Would I take that trade again if I didn't know how it ended? What did I do well despite the outcome? Did I keep my emotions under control? Then review the trades you discarded. Was not participating objectively justified? The idea is to establish a space for reflection where you use your curiosity to learn to trade better and manage yourself more effectively. I usually do this after preparing the scenarios I expect for the coming week, having marked the main trading zones, analyzed the news forecast, and having clear hypotheses. That’s when I'm ready to take a critical and reflective look at my performance.
Attention ‼️ Ethereum price chart points to less than 3,000 dollars 🫨 Ether fell 14% in the last 30 days, dropping below USD 4,000 and trading at USD 3,724 on Monday. However, technical data and ETF information do not show much optimism, increasing the likelihood of a further correction below USD 3,000. The decline in the price of Ether can be attributed to risk-reduction behavior by investors, as observed in spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Traders have been withdrawing capital from these investment products over the past two weeks. U.S.-based spot Ether ETFs have recorded a streak of outflows over the last three days, totaling USD 363.8 million, according to data from SoSoValue.
Most people believe that their problem is a lack of money. But Robert Kiyosaki makes it clear: money is not the cause, it is the consequence. What really keeps people trapped is not their bank account, but their way of thinking. If you think you need more money to get started, you've already lost. Because even if you had it, you would lose it due to a lack of financial education. The poor mindset spends what it earns; the rich mindset learns how to multiply it. Change begins when you understand that true wealth does not come from your pockets, but from your thoughts.
Survival mode is a prison that you built yourself 😱.
Jeff Bezos has a theory that he repeats whenever he can: "Most people live in survival mode, and he doesn't even know it." For him, surviving is getting up every day just to withstand the blow, just to stay afloat. It's living with fear of the next month, of the next bill, to the next crisis. "That's not living," says Bezos. "That's simply not dying." Survival mode keeps you trapped in an invisible cage.
🚨People are looking at the volatility of #Bitcoin and concluding that it is not a safe-haven asset comparable to gold. They criticize its abrupt falls and its temporal correlation with risk markets. But here’s the wild part... Its global adoption is barely around 4.7%. While gold is a mature asset, with a market capitalization that moves slowly and nearly 100% adoption among institutional investors, Bitcoin is a teenage market. An asset with only 4.7% penetration still has a long way to go for mass adoption. The volatility we experience is not a sign that the protocol is weak; it is a symptom of a small, sensitive market dominated by short-term speculation.
