Don't look for the perfect trade. Look for consistent execution.
This is how we operate to achieve sustainable daily profitability:

1. The Setup
• Style: Swing Trading.
• Tools: RSI (Momentum) + MACD (Confirmation).
• Key: Multi-Timeframe Analysis.

2. The Execution (The Filter)
• We look at High TF ➡️ Direction.
• We look at Medium TF ➡️ Strength.
• We look at Low TF ➡️ Timing.
• No alignment = No trade.

3. The Mathematical Objective
Forget about the moon. We look for solid ground:

There are moments when the market forces you to stop and think.
Not in looking for the next entry, but in how you're truly reading the price.
Over time I realized that guessing is the most dangerous thing I can do.
Every time I tried to anticipate, the market put me in my place.
Now I just try to observe.
The structure tells me where I am, not where I'm going.
The zones remind me that price has memory.
Candles show intention, not promises.
Volume confirms or disproves what seems obvious.

When my Stop Loss triggers, it doesn't leave me indifferent.
It really bothers me.
It hurts.
And for a few seconds, I feel like the market is laughing at me.
The problem isn't losing. The problem is what happens right after.
That moment when I think: 'Okay, I'll go in again and recover it'.
That impulse doesn't come from analysis; it comes from pride. From not accepting that this time it just wasn't meant to be.
It's happened to me more times than I'd like to admit. I've turned a well-placed Stop Loss into a chain of absurd trades. Not because the market changed, but because I did. I stopped following my plan and started trading out of anger.

The market is recovering, yes. But it's doing so in jerks.
And we must say it clearly: those "jolts" are far more dangerous than a clear bearish trend. They are traps designed for impatience.
You see a green candle stretching vertically and feel a physical urgency in your stomach. The fear of missing out (FOMO) screams at you to enter now, at any price, "before it goes to the moon".
But listen to me carefully: the moment you "rush" after the price, you've already lost.
You're buying someone else's euphoria, not your own strategy. You're entering at the point where professionals are starting to take profits.

"Then I'll look at it later"
This isn't about fear. It's about honesty.
An open trade is not an idea, nor a hope, nor a plan written on TradingView.
It's something alive. It moves. It changes. It reacts.
Leaving a position open—especially a scalp, against the trend and leveraged—without being able to monitor it, is delegating decisions to chance. And the market won't protect your capital for you.
Many losses don't come from bad analysis, but from not being there when you needed to be.
Five minutes can change everything. A spike, a candle, a news event, a cascade of liquidations.

We obsess over the price. If the candle is green, we're geniuses; if it's red, everything's going to zero. But the price lies, or at least exaggerates. If you want to know the truth about what's happening on the network, you need to look under the hood: the Validator Queue.
Ethereum has a brilliant mechanism: it doesn't allow everyone to enter or exit all at once. It's a safety "brake" to prevent panic and attacks.
Look at the chart below 👇

The blue line represents those who want to enter. When that line rises, it's not a one-day speculation. It's people locking capital for the long term. It's real confidence.

Trading isn't about never losing. It's about how you manage losses and, above all, how you execute recovery. Today's Ethereum session was a lesson in psychology, patience, and discipline.
The morning started poorly. A failed entry led us to hit the stop loss at 3.134 USD, with a loss of –21 USDT. Nothing heroic. The important part was the decision: accepting the small loss and not seeking revenge. We closed the screen and let the market settle.
In the afternoon, with the price consolidating, the opportunity appeared. We identified a clear support zone at 3.196 USD, where the previous structure had broken. Instead of chasing candles, we placed a limit order and waited. The price dropped, touched the order to the millimeter, and bounced.

While many are focused on whether there is a reward today or not, with Miden ($Miden), something much more interesting than a simple one-time incentive is happening.
Yes, today rewards are being discussed and that attracts attention. It's normal. But if you stay only there, you miss the bigger picture.
Miden is not trying to be just "another faster L2." The proposal goes much further. It's a zk-native chain, not a patch added afterward. Execution happens locally, privacy is the default state, and the user maintains real control over their data. This completely changes how blockchain experiences are designed.

This trade doesn't start today.
It starts yesterday, when the market took me out in the red.
Yesterday I had a skipped SL. Nothing unusual, nothing out of the ordinary. I entered, the price didn't do what I expected, and the stop did its job. I closed the trade, accepted the loss, and decided not to force anything further.
That's where a lot of people fail.
After a skipped stop, it's easy to want to "recover quickly." I preferred to do the opposite: cool down the situation, close the chart for a while, and let the market continue its path without me.

While many are concerned about whether today’s candle is green or red, there is a silent metric that says much more about the real state of Ethereum: staking.
Right now there are 35.6 million of $ETH blocked, distributed among almost 1 million active validators. This is not nervous money or speculative capital looking to exit at the slightest correction. It is capital committed to the network. And the key data confirms it: the exit queue is practically at zero. No one is in a hurry to leave.

While most are arguing in X about whether today's candle is red or green, something is being prepared in the "kitchen" of development that could change the rules of the game on the Ethereum network.
I have come across this data about the development of MegaETH (Frontier phase) and I need you to pay attention, because smart money moves before the launch, not after.
1. The technical promise: Absurd speed Developers are not playing. The goal remains to reach 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) for the mainnet launch. This is not just a pretty number; it is the capacity to manage real mass adoption. And watch out, the network is already "alive": transactions in this testing phase have increased by 8% compared to last week. The machinery has been in motion since December 2025 and is moving fast.

Alright, family. Let's put a little order amidst so much rocket and party with $XRP .
I have come across this Market Prophit metric and I need you to analyze it coldly, because it is the difference between making money or getting stuck at the top.
Look closely at the image:
1. The Crowd (CROWD): It is unleashed. A sentiment of 3.17. Pure euphoria, FOMO, people entering the market chasing green candles without looking back.
2. Smart Money: It is at 0.90. Yes, it is positive, but look at the abyssal difference. While retail screams "To the moon!", the professionals are in "caution" mode.

After the New Year's hangover and the initial euphoria about the 'Alt Season', I have dedicated this Saturday to analyzing the reports that truly matter. And there is a question circulating since yesterday that I can't get out of my head:
Has the FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) died? 💀
For years, we used the FDV as the sacred compass to measure if a project was expensive. But my thesis for 2026 is that the rules have changed.
I have been reviewing the perspectives of Delphi Digital and I fully agree on a crucial point: In 2026, Infrastructure matters more than Narrative.

Here I share my latest trades in $ETH using the RSI + MACD strategy. The results have been excellent, but I don't want to sell you smoke.
Although everything looks green here, losses exist and are part of the business. The data doesn't lie: the strategy works, but the weak link is always us. There are days when you lose focus, personal situations occur, or you simply lose your concentration, and that's when the market charges you.
The important thing is not to never fall, but to manage the risk so that those "slips" don't burn your account.

January 1, 2026
Happy New Year to everyone. Or well, we will try, because today, January 1, the landscape has officially changed. If you've been reading me for a while, you know that I've been warning about this: DAC8 is already here. And no, it is not a software update or a new currency; it is the ultimate tool with which Europe has just turned on the light in the dark room where we operated.
Many will think: “Well, I pay my taxes, I have nothing to fear.” And you are right, those who do things correctly should not be afraid. But let’s not be naive. This is not just about taxes. It’s about control.

Happy 2026, Binancians!
The cryptocurrency market starts the year with a healthy total capitalization of 2.97 Trillion dollars, but beneath the surface, the data shows extreme caution. We analyze the exact "picture" of the market this January 1.
1. The Sentiment: Fear and Capital Outflows Contrary to the hope for an "Explosive January", the Fear and Greed Index stands at 31 (Fear). What's the reason? The closure of the fiscal year 2025 caused a massive outflow of institutional capital. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that on December 31, the ETFs had a negative flow of -421.35 Million USD. Both Bitcoin (-349M) and Ethereum (-72M) experienced heavy selling, likely due to adjustments in institutional portfolios.

Institutional staking in Ethereum is changing the market structure, but it does not provide immediate signals in the price.
And that is precisely what confuses many investors.
When the chart doesn't move, it is assumed that 'nothing is happening'.
In reality, it's quite the opposite: the market is being reordered.
To understand what may come, it makes no sense to make exact predictions.
What's useful is to analyze scenarios.
A market that cools down... to strengthen itself
The increase in ETH locked in staking reduces the available supply, but does not create demand on its own.
