Recently, I’ve been thinking about an interesting question—on the release day of U.S. non-farm employment data, why does the crypto market move with such intense volatility?
Many people think that NFP reports only affect the forex market and stocks, but that’s not the case. I’ve noticed that whenever employment data comes out, Bitcoin and Ethereum both show a clear, coordinated reaction. Right now, BTC is above $78k and ETH is above $2.3k, but the price swings before and after the NFP release are often quite surprising.
The core logic is this: strong employment data boosts the U.S. dollar inde

Recently, I saw someone in the community asking what the divergence rate is, and it reminded me that when I first learned technical analysis, I also got stuck on this indicator. So today, I want to share my understanding of it.
Simply put, divergence means deviation. The divergence rate indicator is a tool used to see how far the price deviates from the moving average. Think about it, the price can't stay right on the moving average every day; the market naturally fluctuates. But the key point is, when the price is too far from the moving average, it usually reverts, and that’s the core logic

Recently, I've been thinking about a question many people ask: What are Halal and Haram? These two concepts are actually at the core of Islamic faith, directly influencing every decision in a Muslim's daily life.
In simple terms, Halal refers to things that are permitted, lawful, and pure, while Haram refers to things that are forbidden and harmful. But this distinction isn't just about food; it covers all aspects of life.
You can earn money through honest work, speak the truth, and treat others kindly — these all fall under the category of Halal. Conversely, alcohol, interest-based transactio

Recently, I’ve been paying attention to something quite interesting. While the whole world is watching the confrontation between the United States and Iran, Turkish President Erdoğan suddenly stepped forward. Not only did he not support the United States—he publicly condemned the US for its attacks on Iran, saying this threatens peace in the Middle East. Many people found it surprising, but I think the logic behind it is actually very clear.
Turkey is a member of NATO, so in theory it should stand with the United States. But Erdoğan doesn’t see it that way—he has his own agenda. Put simply, Tu

Recently, I’ve seen many beginners asking whether to use full position or isolated margin. Instead of getting stuck in the debate, it’s better to first understand the logic behind it.
Trading is like fighting a war—tactical choices determine life or death. Full position and isolated margin are fundamentally two different risk exposure modes. There is no absolute “better” or “worse,” only what fits you.
Full position means putting all your chips together: win together, lose together. It looks like you get higher capital utilization, and you can even endure short-term fluctuations for longer. Bu

Recently, I’ve been observing many traders’ loss situations and discovered a pattern: most people simply don’t understand how to calculate their profit and loss ratio. This isn’t a small issue; it directly determines whether you can survive in the market.
Let me start with a phenomenon. I’ve seen too many people who spend every day placing trades, making a little profit and then running, or holding on stubbornly when they lose. As a result, over a year, they’ve made quite a few trades, but their returns are always negative. They’ve never seriously calculated one key thing: what is my win rate?

I’ve recently been researching how to start mining, and I found that there are so many mining programs to choose from. I used to think you definitely had to buy extremely expensive hardware to mine Bitcoin, but later I realized there are now various mining programs that allow ordinary people to get involved too.
Based on my research, there are currently mainly three ways to mine. Cloud mining is the easiest—rent computing power from remote data centers, without having to buy equipment yourself. Pool mining combines computing power together, so even if your computing power isn’t that strong, yo

Recently, some friends have asked me how to interpret candlestick charts, so I decided to organize some of my insights over the years. To be honest, back in 1990 when our domestic stock market opened, we started using candlestick charts directly. But after all these years, most people’s understanding of candlesticks still stays at the Japanese theory level, which is just scattered statistics of single, double, and multiple candlesticks, without forming a systematic, complete model.
Initially, I was the same—looking at various indicators, studying candlestick combinations, thinking that masteri

Recently, I’ve seen many beginners in the community asking how to use RSI, so I decided to organize my years of experience on the topic. Honestly, RSI looks simple, but to use it well requires avoiding quite a few pitfalls.
First, let’s talk about the most common traps. I’ve seen too many people rush to short when RSI exceeds 70, only to get repeatedly chopped up in strong trending markets. In a strong trend, RSI can often spike to 80, 90, or even higher. If you still trade based on textbook overbought signals at that point, you’re just waiting to lose money. Another common mistake is confusio

Recently studying the role of market makers, I found that this concept actually has a very long history. As early as the 18th century, the London Stock Exchange already had market makers operating. Their job was to act as a bridge between buyers and sellers, providing liquidity. In modern times, the NYSE calls them Specialists, while HKEX refers to them as designated dealers, but essentially they are the same — creating markets and providing quotes.
Market makers can be large institutions, individual traders, or even exchanges themselves sometimes participate in market making. But honestly, in

I’ve discovered a very interesting phenomenon: less than 10% of retail investors can accurately catch the bottom, and the key difference lies in whether they know how to identify support and resistance levels.
I’ve also been observing this issue recently. Many people buy coins purely based on intuition, resulting in being trapped at high prices or selling at the floor. The traders who actually make money, their secret is quite simple—they know how to draw support lines.
Let’s start with the basics. When the price drops to a certain level, buyers feel it’s profitable and rush in to buy, causing

Recently, I've seen many discussions about the security of cold wallets, and I’ve also organized some thoughts. To be honest, for those who take their crypto assets seriously, a cold wallet is truly a worthwhile option to consider.
First, the basics: a cold wallet is a method of storing cryptocurrencies completely offline. Its biggest advantage is that it’s not connected to the internet, so hackers cannot attack remotely. In comparison, hot wallets need to be online to be used, so their security is naturally lower. I think this distinction is key to understanding cold wallets.
There are actual

Recently, I've seen many newcomers stumbling in the crypto space, which made me realize that my understanding of scams like rug pulls is still insufficient. Instead of passively waiting to be victimized, it's better to actively learn about these tricks—after all, knowing yourself and your enemy allows you to survive longer.
Let's first talk about what a rug pull actually is. Simply put, it's when project founders attract investments and then suddenly run away with the funds, causing the tokens you hold to instantly become worthless paper. This type of scam is especially rampant in DeFi and eme

Recently, while adjusting the trading system, I found that many people have misunderstandings about the MACD indicator, especially regarding parameter settings. Actually, more complex MACD parameters are not necessarily better; the key is to find settings that match your trading style.
Let's start with the standard 12-26-9. This set of MACD parameters is widely used mainly because of its stability. The fast line EMA(12) captures short-term momentum, the slow line EMA(26) observes long-term trends, and the signal line EMA(9) filters out noise. For beginners, it's sufficient, and most people in

Recently, I saw many people get trapped in trading groups, which reminded me to talk about this classic bull trap issue.
Simply put, a bull trap is when the price breaks through a key resistance level, looks like it's going to rise, but then drops back down within a few candles. Those who FOMO into the trade usually suffer the worst losses because they buy impulsively without thinking it through.
Why does this happen? Essentially, it's the big players manipulating retail traders' emotions. They create a false breakout illusion, lure beginners into entering, then quickly dump the market. This k

Recently, I’ve been looking at some traders’ chart analysis and found that many people use the Fibonacci retracement tool, but not everyone truly understands how to draw it or how to use it. In fact, although this tool may look complicated, its underlying principle isn’t that mysterious.
First, you need to make it clear that Fibonacci retracement is essentially drawing lines between two key price points. In an uptrend, you draw from the low point to the high point; in a downtrend, you draw from the high point to the low point. This range becomes your reference framework, and then you mark pote

Recently, while reviewing my trading records, I found that many losses stem from one problem—being fooled by false signals from the market. Especially phenomena like bull trap situations, which even experienced traders can easily fall for.
How do bull traps happen? Simply put, when the price breaks through a key resistance level and looks like it’s going to surge, many traders follow the trend and buy in. But then the price reverses downward, falling back below the breakout point, trapping those who entered early. Conversely, there are bear traps, where the price breaks below support levels an

When it comes to withdrawing funds, I’ve stepped into plenty of pitfalls and only then understood this: the real risk isn’t whether you make money, but whether you can safely withdraw your money. When I first entered the crypto world, I didn’t understand the process. My card got frozen once, and that week I was really scared and couldn’t sleep well.
Later, after suffering losses again and again, I slowly worked out a relatively reliable method. The most crucial first point is choosing a merchant. Never be tempted by cheap deals and look for those with flashy names—things like “instant creditin

I just saw a pretty shocking data comparison: depositing $500k into a bank takes five minutes, but clicking on a stolen U-link is gone in less than a second. Over the past two years, I’ve clearly felt that scammers in China are upgrading and evolving, from traditional telecom fraud directly into the virtual currency space, with increasingly sophisticated techniques.
I’ve noticed that when many victims report to the police, the officers have no understanding of things like USDT, and some even directly tell you that virtual currencies are not protected by law, let alone file a case. This is the

Recently, I’ve been exploring a topic in technical analysis and found that many people still have some misunderstandings about the VPVR indicator. In fact, this tool is quite useful in practical trading and is worth spending time to understand in depth.
The VPVR indicator is different from the conventional volume histogram. It doesn’t display trading volume along the time axis, but rather along the price levels. This way, you can clearly see which price levels had the most active trading during a certain period. This perspective is really helpful for identifying support and resistance levels.
