* Thread - Using Spaghetti to gauge when to risk on/off with $ALTS *

Gauging Altcoin reactions to large #Bitcoin moves is actually easier than you think. Let's take these 4 $BTC dip and run through.

RT's appreciated.

(1/6)
Dip 1: Looking at the initial reaction, you can see pretty explicitly that the market was not risk-on with alts. This was one of the main reasons I continued playing shorts on alts and looking for further downside.
Dip 2: Now from our revised chart starting point, you can see a different distribution. Starting off, around 80% of the alts are performing better than BTC. This is a good sign for getting risk-on with alts, as you can see from their continued performance.
Dip 3: Similar to Dip 2, in that almost immediately you can see ~80% of alts bouncing harder than BTC.

Translation: the market is still in “dip buying” mode on alts, and altcoin volatility will almost certainly always exceed BTC.
Dip 4: “This time it’s different”. It is.

Of these four periods, this has been my worst trading alts. It almost looks as though the market wasn’t “expecting” a forth dip, and now is undecided whether to risk on/off on alts leading to chop.

Around 50/50 split - i.e. unclear.
In summary these comparisons are a lot more powerful than you might originally assume.

An objective and simple “should I be risk on or off?” for $ALTS rule might be “>70% of Alts recovering after a dip”.

If you enjoyed it, RT’s appreciated. 🍻
P.S. I do not trade exclusively off this; it just gives me confluence for my trading execution and points to whether I should be in alts or not; and which alts.

* Relative Strength Thread *

Let me explain the spaghetti and how I use it to trade $ALTS.

This chart shows the return of certain alts during the selected period (i.e. from the far left).

For the time period selected, Fartcoin would have given you the best return.Image
"That's great hindsight Charlie, + twitter points. But how does that help me trade?"

Well, it actually tells you what I imagine you already know - memes are one of the highest returning investments over the same period if you look at the top 3. These were on easy mode.
Instead of panicking about this pullback, mark some areas of interest to you. E.g. the fartcoin chart.

Some areas for me are below.

Now that doesn't mean blind bid.

It means where am I looking for a reversal and sign of strength; typically (for me) on lower timeframes. Image

Low Timeframe Rotations

I often get asked about spaghetti charts & rotations because it's quite a niche way of trading.

So I'll do my best in this little thread to break it down.

Likes, RTs and all that appreciated.Image
What's the goal?

Find and long the strongest performing asset.

Why?

Well, if it isn't obvious, they tend to offer the best % returns and are 'easier' to trade on the basis that their momentum carries them up and to the right.

How?

That's a bit more lengthy...
The chart setup

There is no sauce here, it's literally click "compare" in the top left of trading view and add tickers.

To save you the time, you can take a copy of my view here:



Now, lets get into how I use it...tradingview.com/chart/YTsCGSGV/

I've been here since 2017 and spent thousands of hours in this space.

Here's something I've learned for every year I've been here - as it was fun to do on stream the other day.

Stay a while and listen, friend. Image
2017

Clueless and retarded.

I learned how much greed and speculative premium are ripe in crypto.

I learned that we trade attention mostly and ideas; so applying my former skills looking at discounted cashflows of projects was... dumb.

Those who remember "Disney coin" aka $DRGN will have a fond memory of how a dumb narrative can fuel ridiculous returns.
2018

I learned that I was, despite my opinion of myself, greedy, and that without a plan would give back a huge chunk of gains.

Solution: plan for success.

Take profit levels, cash out levels, tax planning etc.

Boring, but necessary.

Every trade I take has a plan.
Everything I invest in, has a plan.

My thoughts on $PAAL: why I have a bag & think it's good project.

First thread I've done in a while so if you like it share it. Image
$PAAL is an AI ecosystem that enables anyone to create multiple AI bots for free and deploy them across platforms like Discord & Telegram.

The bot can research projects and execute trades for you.

Can try it out here: app.paal.ai
$PAAL received a $200,000 development grant from Google.

A little out-dated analytics but you can see the growth here:

So you're a terrible trader and didn't 100x your portfolio like everyone else in this move?

Lets take a step back and really look at things a bit more objectively, and hopefully make you feel a little better. Image
Firstly, trust no one. Not even me.

First screenshot? Taken from someone else... but I bet you assumed it was mine.

Secondly, this is the rest of that screenshot: Image
Whilst everyones size is different, you have take into account that very few people show size on these kinds of PNL cards.

If you don't know or it isn't verified; assume it's small and it's a clout tweet.

Off the top of my head, some $ALT areas I'd be interested in next cycle, or in an interim echo bubble.

1/N
$ETH - doubt I need to explain this one.
AI - whilst this is a current narrative with things like FET and OCEAN pumping, I think we see a metaverse-esque era of every project incorporating this as a FOTM narrative... and for some it will be effective.
