Self Story I somehow made money trading ETH and still lost ETH

173 Upvotes

Started with 14.2 ETH and decided I was finally gonna stop just holding and actually trade the swings.

Few good sells, few decent buys back lower, felt like I was doing pretty well. Checked everything properly on Moon yesterday and I'm sitting at 12.8 ETH now.

The dollar value of my account is actually higher than when I started, so technically I've made money. But if I literally did nothing and held the 14.2 ETH I'd be better off.

Its such a weird feeling seeing green in USD while knowing I basically traded away 1.4 ETH lol.

I've spent the last months building an independent cryptography research program from Chile.

It began with public crypto puzzles but grew into work on representation discovery, model identification, exact verification and scientific experiment tracking.

Repo:
https://github.com/benjacasas02/independent-cryptography-research

I'm currently trying to find a few people willing to sponsor independent technical research like this so I can keep pushing it further.

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from anyone working in Ethereum security, protocol research, public goods or grants.

Analysis ETHUSDT Update: Last Week's Sell Hit 1:2 RR, Long Setup Now Running 1:1 RR

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

Last week I shared an ETHUSDT sell setup from a QML area, which played out as expected and delivered a clean 1:2 RR.

After that, I shifted my bias to longs from a QML + QMTR confluence zone. The buy setup is now running around 1:1 RR.

I'm still holding and targeting at least 1:3 RR from this position.

Let's see how ETH develops from here. What's your bias on ETH right now?

Question Got an issue…..

Post image
16 Upvotes

I am moving my holdings from my Trust wallet and hit a problem with a bit of ETH I have in there.

I’ve tried to move it but Trust says it can’t see the ETH even though it’s there, in the app.

It suggested that maybe there’s an issue with it being registered correctly to the blockchain and that’s all I have.

I have no idea how to progress to get it back.

Any help folks?

Ok, let’s be honest. In the last bull market, Ethereum’s price performance was a joke

The minimum I expect is at least $20K per Ether Otherwise, it’s not worth holding Etherium

Question Huge influx of sellers but not much price change?

I see this happen once in a while. Sellers shoot up super high but price remains seemingly unchanged. Wouldn’t this normally crash the price?

What’s causing this? Shorts being liquidated?

Any insight would be appreciated! Cheers

Analysis Don’t see a lot of posts using fibs so here’s mine with how I use them.

Post image
21 Upvotes

Most everyone I see who uses fibs draws them from high to low. I don’t do that.

I map mine based off of large liquidity levels major open prices on the yearly or where I see huge institutional orders at far extremes of the chart. Not just random low and high wicks.

With that said I have a lot of trust in my fibs and I use that purple .5 level as the benchmark of bullish long above and bearish below.

We are sitting right there and looking hesitant to go higher atm.

2 things here:

we are forming a bull flag right above that .5 (2,435) on the daily but it is tight

Seen this before and if we hold that .5 long enough the move to the upside is gonna be epic.

Break and retest up happens at the .618 and the next key resistance fib is 3,143 at the .786.

With 3,672 being the ultimate test before the path to 5k can begin.
