1/ #EGLD market update! ๐Ÿ™Œ @ElrondNetwork โšก
I wish I had better news to share, but the bull has been beaten out of me! ๐Ÿ˜† I'm still #hodling and farming away on @MaiarExchange, but the seas may soon get rocky... ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸŽญ Preparing begins with setting expectations! ๐Ÿง  Let's go! ๐Ÿงต
2/ I'm still perma-bull b/c no matter what happens this market can shift on a dime. The goal is to *capture the average* & hold position until the bull market returns. It takes patience, but bear market rallies can come out of nowhere & cause FOMO...
3/ FOMO is what U feel when you have cash on the sidelines waiting to re-enter the market. The market can bounce or even sustain a sizeable rally, enticing U to re-enter: U fear you will miss the gains! These rallies suck ppl back in only to lose steam & retrace, losing U money.
4/ Capturing the average means focusing on controlling what U have control over. Emotions can take us to wild places, so create timelines & develop consistent behavioral patterns with trades. In doing so U will learn to reject emotional impulses and sail smoothly. โ›ต
5/ That said, let's get into it. ๐Ÿ‘

Giving it to U straight just the way I see things: bias is to the downside. ๐Ÿ˜– From valley to peak, the last month's bounce yielded over 90% gains, but an ascending triangle tends with bias to downside (purple lines)...
6/ Earlier today I shared a look at how the Weekly candles achieved a "bullish engulfing" pattern - a pattern that has historically indicated market bottoms & reversals. Unfortunately until proven otherwise, we must set expectations that the downtrend will only continue...
7/ Truth remains that market bottoms *always* feel like "this is the end". โ˜ ๏ธ

One of the previous times $EGLD had a bullish engulfing pattern on the weekly was in fact a market bottom (indicated below). It's vital to trust that the market:
- WILL buy dips &
- will NOT sell. ๐Ÿ’Ž
8/ Zooming into the action, it appears a head & shoulders reversal may be in action. The calculated result of this pattern actuating is laid out below: from head to break of shoulder line is equidistant to break of shoulder line to the resulting bottom, ~25% down from here.
9/ Let's compare today's bullish engulfing pattern to that previous bullish engulfing pattern from exactly 1 year ago, July 2021...
10/ Last summer the market capitulated farther and farther, until July 2021 when after weeks of selling the market began a sprint that topped at +80%. After this rally exhausted, a grueling -37% retracement began. At the top it felt like the bull rally was ready to go again! ...
11/ If history repeats itself, we may see price retrace the entire move it just made.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Technical analysis is about collecting several viewpoints to create calculated expectations. Combine history from July 2021 w/ the head & shoulders top and the story starts to sync up.
12/ Be wary before adding more to your position here. It seems blatant that we're due for a retracement of that huge +90% bounce we saw over the last 30 days.

๐Ÿ‘‰What I do NOT recommend is selling now to hope to buy more lower. That's a very tricky play. โš ๏ธ & not good behavior.
13/ Even in prior bull runs these bullish engulfing patterns turn around to retrace recent gains. What this is effectively doing is "testing" those recently buyers of the asset to see whether they have the guts to #hodl as the market bleeds. That's why it's called "retest". ๐Ÿ‘
14/ For now, the key level to pass is the recent highs. This is the target! Below I've laid out several paths that a sideways market may take.

On one side I feel like there's good reason to expect recent lows to be retested. The market still seems too skeptical... ๐Ÿ˜–
15/ The easy prediction to make here is that price will agree with the calculation for the head and shoulders to bring price lower to begin testing recent lows...
16/ As U should know by now, price in just a sentiment indicator, so the market could change it's mind quickly. As I have been watching #btc, my perma-bull within tells me that the market at large is due for a *sizeable* rally to float us up and out of this range...
17/ The market at large has been going through a significant season of selling. Each time the Bollinger bands tighten, the resolution has been further downside. I think 3rd times the charm & this BB tighten will yield some relief.

18/ This "Adam and Eve" formation is still in play, and analysts I follow like @BobLoukas follow 60-day cycles & are calling for a local bottom to be placed ยฑ7 days to July 10th (today).

19/ I'm offering a balanced perspective, so maybe it's a bottom indicator itself that I myself @the_economystic am posting bearish predictions for the short-term future?? ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„

I hope U take the time to read my advice on building your own success!
20/ A trick that I have to help remove my own bias is to โœ”๏ธ the box for "invert scale" on @tradingview.

It helps me see the data from a different perspective & helps silence the perma-bull within me. Take a look below and ask yourself what stands out to you!
21/ I've been in crypto since 2017, so I've been thru market bottoms a few times now! The next bull rally unsuspectingly emerges out of the bear market. ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ‘‰Taking more profits next bull run begins NOW. It seem crazy but it may change your life. ๐Ÿคฏ

22/ The message within this thread aligns with the expectations I set June 20th. The rally became exhausted as it ran into those levels of previous rejection, so now the expectation is to retest those previous levels of support...
23/ Analyzing relative strength helps to build confidence to boldly buy the downtrend, and fact remains that amount of $EGLD staked has increased significantly over the past 60 days. There are more players competing to buy $EGLD as there's less of it.

24/ The best way to play this market = long-term: maintaining exposure, increasing your position by staking ๐Ÿช™ #EGLD & farming ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ on @MaiarExchange. It pays to play!! โœ… Hold strong & remember the strength U have thru resilience to sell + buying more if U can. ๐Ÿ’ช $EGLD will moon!
25/ As always, any tweet U like or find helpful plz share with a quick #retweet or quote tweet! Talk about your own experiences or strategies! Spreading the word about @ElrondNetwork is something we can all do while helping each other & cultivating community! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŒŽโšก#EGLD

1/ What up! ๐Ÿ˜†โœŒ๏ธ BULLISH #EGLD Market Update T.A. โšก @ElrondNetwork - Couple days ago U saw my market update with bearish perspectives, but U know my perma-bull never left! ๐Ÿ‘‰ Balancing perspectives is key! ๐Ÿ”‘ Expect downside yet maintain exposure to capture the upside! ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿงต Image
2/ Before we get into it, some key elements to the plan for success: ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’ก

โ†’ Capture the average
โ†’ Make few trades
โ†’ Maintain exposure

Your brain is a muscle, therefore I remind U the importance of muscle memory & that it applies to trading! Train regularly & consistently.
3/ When training ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ it's vital to develop muscle memory with proper technique AND recovery! We must give our muscles the proper time โŒ› and nutrition ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ›๐Ÿฅ” to recover. ๐Ÿ˜ด

In trading ๐Ÿ“ˆ this equates to sitting on sidelines while volatility seeks to suck U in.

1/ Want to improve your investment strategy??โšก There are 100's of indicators yet not 1 accurately predicts the future. Fundamentals are like a camera's sensor ๐Ÿ“ท & technicals are the lens.๐Ÿ‘“ Together these elements help build a clearer picture! ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ @ElrondNetwork #buidl #EGLD Image
2/ Analysis begins with defining timeframe: the timeframe dictates which data an analyst finds important. You can choose candles representing 1 second, 1 year & everything in-between. Larger (longer) candles capture more data & therefore represent a truer image of the average. ๐Ÿง 
3/ Define your investing goals & objectives! Doing so will help U learn which timeframe suits you. Start simple & write them out. A goal = an achievable outcome that's generally broad & longer term while objectives = shorter term & define measurable actions to achieve the goal.

1/ $EGLD // @ElrondNetwork - Looking for a bottom. โšก #EGLD - What a crypto winter! I hear too often "I wish I bought lower" or "I wish I sold higher". ๐Ÿ™„ Take notes โ†’ plan โ†’ execute. Move onwards! Expand time horizon and preserve position. Strategy = positioned for success. ๐Ÿง 
2/ @ElrondNetwork claims to be positioned to "onboard next billion users", the key word is POSITION. In YOUR investing, the aim is preservation and therefore solidifying your POSITION not just literally but mentally!๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿง  Your objective should be decreasing # of trades. ๐Ÿ’ช
3/ Think of this nearly as a war strategy -- the market is the offender and seeks to take U down & bleed your position, capital, liquidity. Offensive positions are risky moves! Find a defensive stance! Get comfortable & seek sustainability. Build defense & reject emotional moves.

1/ What else is there to say? #EGLD is bullish through the bear. I'm not worried and U shouldn't be either. Markets MUST ๐Ÿคฎ to get rid of the sickness. Sickness = fake value. Bear markets are ๐Ÿ’ฏ b/c the strong with shine. โœจ @ElrondNetwork is the place to be. ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’Ž
2/ Elrond Network #EGLD is net +13% so far today against big dawg #btc - so while your USD value may not be performing ~ideally~, it's the show of strength against #bitcoin that is significant. Think about what this says ๐Ÿค” "more people willing to hold/buy #egld isntead of btc."
3/ #EGLD is NOT capitulating, and in fact it is showing real strength at a price the was demanded heavily last Summer 2021.

1/ With that massive $eGLD analysis out of the way, now I feel better about updating y'all on @ZoidPay! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ™Œ
The entire crypto market continues to bleed, and overnight $ZPAY had a minor "capitulation" event that brought price to touch the middle BB. R U buying the dip? I am.๐Ÿ’ฏ
2/ It should go without saying that trying to time the market is a high-risk endeavor. Completely aside from charts, I am basing my DCA into $ZPAY based off of the conversation I had with @eduardoneci and the promising future I believe $ZPAY has:
3/ Over the past several hours, sellers have been getting rid of their $ZPAY, but volume levels show us that this action is not being taken by a majority via low volumes on this sell-off. AMM's calculate price output based on supply, demand, and avail. liquidity.

1/ @ElrondNetwork #EGLD โ†’ B.T.F.D. โœŠ
๐Ÿšจ The most profitable trades of your life will be the most difficult ones to execute! The longer + lower price goes perpetuates a neg. feedback loop as disappointed investors create an echo chamber. Success means to rise above it!! ๐Ÿง โšก๐Ÿ’ช
2/ As new investors step in to buy supply, older ones incentivized to sell for profit add supply to the market as price rises. Continual cycles of contraction and expansion over time reveal the underlying sentiment towards the asset itself. Supply and demand; ebb and flow... โš–๏ธ
3/ ๐Ÿ’กReady to take notes?๐Ÿ“

Constructive foundation *MUST* built by:

1. Market realizes resistance: too much supply / not enough demand at certain price level โ†’ Price falls.
