Never joke with EMA, especially BOL for your buy orders. Set ur buy orders for weekly if u are patient, monthly if u are very patient, it would save u whole lots of losses and heartaches.

Almost all Alt coin charts are currently aligned with that of BeTc. Baba dey drag anything along now either up or down with this kind of strong hold.

Would never forget the super market downtrend of December 2021 and the heavy dips of January 2022. I wish someone whispered to me to park my bags and run.
If this scenario plays out again, mid Feb. 2026 to March, market would rally upwards before downtrend continues.

Bullish99:
This right here shows that u are just doing guess work and not reading the charts or do not know how to read it!
BeTc chart is currently indicating plummet below 80k.

Well, It might bounce off 82k or test 75k region. We would all be alright.

Christmas and New year money withdrawal going on

daharry:
Actively 2023..
Was part of the exit liquidity in 21..
Bought Dot at 40

Lol. You are still fresh. U might want to park ur bags and run. Come back in 3years.

Most folks in crypto today were drawn in by the massive alt season of late 2020 to 2021. Thinking the next 4years which is 2025 here would bring forth same experiences.

There was no alt season in 2017/2018. The nxt alt season might be in 2029. After every 8years

daharry:
I don’t believe the top is in, and if the top is in, it would the first time majority caught the top or close to the top..
It would also be the first time the crypto market tops without BTC.D dropping to the lows and USDT.D also at a major resistance..
And for those who want a right shoulder formation to complete the H&S pattern on BTC while also wanting ETH and Alts to new ATH and Price discovery, I’m sorry, I don’t think it would play out this way, there’s no alt season without a new high for BTC..
You can also check ETH/BTC PAIR, is it on the verge of a breakout?
Or is it bearish? Make your own findings for yourself and make your conclusions..
AS FOR ME, I’m Willing to place my money where my conviction lies, maybe I might be wrong and learn my lesson, or I might just be right and change my fortune, and it’s a gamble I’m willing to take..

One question: what year did u join crypto actively

seanwilliam:
you’re not saying nonsense sir, what you put up there is a fact. Crypto has a way of keeping you delusional. It’ll paint eldorado picture where you’ll live in fantasy until reality hit you hard. I was hoping on x10😂😂
Take for example , I yielded to sinissin advice earlier this year to stop dca-ing on my position and face real life sht. The advice somehow came as an insult, but today, it’s one of the best decisions I made.
Do you now know the funnest thing? The money I used to face real life business was around 30% of my loss in crypto 😂. I added to my business and it pays my bills today while crypto adds to my bill.

I wouldn't say many would be better off without crypto, cos I know many folks close to me that are doing great in life trading BeTc, I would say we all would be better off and doing great without 'Alt' coins!

Another thing I sensed is that, the more information we put out about the market online, we are feeding them on how to deal with us. Hence, creation of likes of Binance feeds/discover...

If u win, u are lucky, if u go again; u are at high risk of loosing it all.

When they realize everyone has lost faith in the market, all those million coins/tokens u think can't pump would start going up here and there, then when they have your trusts again, they dump and leave u hanging. Chances of becoming poor with it is way higher than making u rich.

"This market literally does the opposite of what people thinks" I have heard this thousand times!
What does that tell u?
Have u asked urself if the market was/is human to have a sense of it's own.
To me crypto is a big manipulation game controlled somewhere. With motives of impoverishing and keeping people that has investment plans and get rich quick mentality under financial control using economic factors, global events, human emotions as the umbrella.
If it doesn't exist, people would be more productive in physical businesses.

I am just thinking wild or am I saying nonsense?

Withdrawals hasn't even started yet for Christmas and New year celebration 🎉. Lol

Most times when u see football token and sometimes Defi tokens rallying on the gainers list. A dump is just by the way.

Robnectar:
Sold all of my bag already

Wetin make u sell Are Feds not printing anymore? Is China, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Hong Kong not printing too.
These are times to be strong and u are a strong man that has built a credible mini exchange.
Binance started off like u.
Don't give up bro

Ballzproblemm:
also heard china will start printing soon too ,bro! We going to the next galaxy!

I heard Lesotho, Zimbabwe, South Korea, South Sudan and Taiwan are printing soon too.

We would pass through Neptune and arrive at Pluto before we stop

maybet081:
How can the 4 year cycle be valid, when most it's features have been invalidated.

Name the invalidated ones if not the all expected alt season.

The halving was precise,
The price movement is as expected after halving,
We went through the accumulation zone
To the Price breakout.
The nxt in line is crash, small pump, crash...

If the 4 year cycle remains valid, then these whole setups is looking like late 2021 again when the bear market was just starting. If that's the case u all should pack your bags, suck up your tears from a night stroll and take your losses like a boss cos that's what u all are. Working so hard to dump in these tunnels.
Pump and dump coins won't end of course u might be lucky again.

January would be.....hmmm

*NFA*

Sunday is a no internet day for me except there is a football game I want to watch.

See the image below, I have been preaching about it for long as the road that'll lead us home.

We won't just go down, but up and down for one year within the upper and lower green channel.

Though, from ending of July, August, Sept and October, 2026, the market will be stagnant and everyone will lose interest cuz we'll range. The 4 year "halving" cycle still stands — don't let people who know nothing deceive you. Try and be your own boss to avoid being misled.

BTC is more predictable than you think. You can also plan for eventualities should things deviate, but the good news is, it'll still come back on track. The deviation is just to confuse you, BTC specialists know the trick and don't fall for it.

Maybe, this cycle will be the last time I'll talk about crypto. I have 5 years max to master any field. I'll be moving to another field. I have gotten all I needed from crypto and made all the necessary documentaries.

Those that abuse me day and night, pretty soon you'll miss me because I'll be deleting all the posts I have ever made on this thread when my book is ready.

I don't want my publishing company to see any duplicate content online. Trust me, it's a must read.

For those who want me and Graceglory to leave, I hope you can hold it down for everyone and dish out lectures on a regular basis without asking to be paid. We did it for free.

I take a bow.

To be candid, if your book is going to be filled with those cumbersome theories that u post here, I would advise you to hold off until you can prove they work.
Let's save newcomers and aspiring crypto enthusiasts from wasting their hard earned money on untested ideas and jargon.

To be honest, your posts are often unclear, and it's hard to see how they can be applied in real life. I'm saying this to help, not to discourage you from writing. You are good at it. Please consider focusing on what works and can be practicalised rather than misleading or make people waste their resources on your book.

No b small thing

DaemoLee:
As binance don list dat $Giggle, the coin don finish.
What a beautiful run.

$Giggle Giggles.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

yemmit90:
You all can clearly see the manipulation game now, CZ announced he bought some aster, and it caterport the value almost immediately withiout real volume.

That is how these guys use big fund to manipulate market behind the screen. If he doesn't announce it, no one would've known why aster suddenly get pump amidst terrible altcoins performance.

This guy deserves to be jailed. Buying and shilling coins to pump is bags and then dump on people.

armadeo:
This is the truth. The next cycle many people will ignore alts like mad. All of us bag holders would take losses, break even and dive into btc.


This next bear don't be surprised that some alts called strong would be delisted cos they'll all be dumped into hades.

The 4 year cycle has failed cos Alt season didn't happen like it ought to at the usual time it used to! Maybe it's now 5 years Cycle who knows.

Now that everyone mindset is glued at buying BeeTC. They would frustrate u all again with a new technique.
U can't win them as they are playing gods already using social media (i.e Binance square, Twitter...) to know, gauge ur mentalities and know your next move, watching all longs and shorts from a big screen before playing their games and win always.

Have u cared to ask why many gurus that usually share market insights before stopped! They might have their personal reasons anyways...Let me stop here

As binance don list dat $Giggle, the coin don finish.
What a beautiful run.

Crypto bull don turn to Dog run like this. Aja nsare-owo njonaa.

Alt holders are suffering. So shitty! Close to 5 years super time and money wasted.

Fastt:
Abeg wetin una dey prepare ?

E bi like say this thread has been taken over by guy men!!

No new comers yet. Meanwhile, last few month for your shit coin to pump, if by November nothing happens to your shit coin,my brother..E don done be dat.

Pack your bag and enter farming. Nothing dey here without capital

Lol. This one pass kalo-kalo.

Try enter BitgeWallt. The rates at which new tokens are created on a daily is enough reason to let one know u are just lucky if u make it out alive into riches.
Una go tire!

The thing is, August of Sell Year must pump or at least stay uptrend whether there is war in China, Russia, Ukraine, etc.

That uptrend scares September, so it says, "Hold it, I'm not sure this is healthy, so I won't join the bandwagon." This is why September of Sell year either stays stagnant or dumps because it's unsure it has the power to carry on.

Summary: Kind of, but not totally.

To others reading, the characteristics of the August we're talking about here only applies to Sell Year.

For Relax year, August dumps like crazy.

This story don dey long ilengd! Fine we should look forward to a market blood bathe in September/October ok.

Is alt season starting after cos alts are still in their extreme lows, or are we entering another bear market like after 2021?
Cos normally as regards the 4 years BTCee/Alt season cycle, this year ought to have been the one that alt make parabolic moves to the upside. However, only B tcee did which is unusual...

WARNING TO NAIRALAND CRYPTO TRADERS

I feel a day will come when kidnappers and their informants will use a format like this.

The kidnapper will come to a gathering of crypto traders—especially where they love to brag about how much they make. Or even if they don't brag, the kidnapper will attack you and pose a question or makes a statement like:

"You're not even rich." And then you’ll try to prove yourself.

Or he'll ask you, "How much have you even made?" "You've not made money in this trading."

You'll try to prove him wrong by telling him how you've made a millions. They will ask for proof.

You might want to post some screenshots—blah, blah, blah. It’s all a plan.

That same person will use another account—a female profile—to beg you for money two, three days later.

She'll tell you she hasn’t eaten, or her mother is in the hospital or any excuse at all.

She only needs ₦5,000, ONLY.
In your mind, "What is even ₦5,000?"

You sent her more, as the good guy that you are. Trying to prove that you are actually rich because you just bragged some days ago.

But you don’t know—it’s a setup.
From the name you used to send the money, she searches your real name on social media.

It's a guy though—I’m just saying “she.”
He uses another fake account, with a real woman, they're working together, but he'll be the one handling the chat, to add you up on FB or Instagram.

She finds a way to start chatting you up—playfully without even talking about crypto, then she'll ghost you and starts posting sexy pictures on her status to make you chase.

You'll think it’s a woman that admires you and all that so you'll make a move as a guy man.

She tells you she can’t come to your state. Why? Because Nigeria is risky at the moment—blah, blah, blah. Now she's playing hard to get.

You’re now the one convincing her to come — not knowing you're convincing yourself into danger.

One day, she tells you, "I’m in your state. I came for my aunt's wedding. I'll be going tomorrow."

Excitedly, you want to see her before she leaves.

You video called and, yes, it’s the same girl.

You meet. She now knows your house.

What's next? Weeks later, men are coming for you and when they do, that $2 million you bragged about on social media or Nairaland—you will give it to them.

This is an imagination and I know it'll happen in Nigeria soon.


AI's TAKE:

You're absolutely right to be thinking in this direction. What you’ve described is a very plausible, sophisticated psychological setup—a mix of catfishing, manipulation, intelligence gathering, and social engineering—tailored for high-value crypto traders, especially in vulnerable regions like Nigeria, where insecurity and economic disparity make such traps more appealing to criminals.

This scenario plays on ego, loneliness, validation-seeking, and generosity, and it works because:

Crypto traders often isolate themselves socially due to the nature of their work.

Many of them are young, ambitious, and sometimes eager to be seen as “successful.”

Criminals know that once someone shows off or proves wealth online, they can reverse-engineer and track them down, especially in Nigeria where privacy laws are weak, and social media oversharing is common.

The use of a female persona softens suspicion and encourages emotional engagement.

Let’s break it down briefly:

Step-by-Step Manipulation:

Information baiting in group settings:
Questions like “You sef dey trade?” or “Una wey dey make money for crypto go just dey brag anyhow” are not harmless — they’re psychological baits to spark competitiveness or validation-seeking.

Extracting proof via subtle pressure:
Even without asking directly, people begin to “flex” with screenshots, PnL, and numbers. Screenshots can leak usernames, email hints, wallet balances, and trading patterns.

Fake sympathy/female account setup:
A damsel in distress asks for $2K, you give $5K. That’s not generosity anymore — it’s a vulnerability scan.

Cross-platform social stalking:
They now have your real name from the bank transfer or crypto name tags (e.g., ENS or Binance Pay username), find you on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

Relationship manipulation:
They don’t come as “crypto followers” again. Instead, “just an admirer.” Smart move. You don’t suspect anything.

The meet-up trap:
Once they know your house, it’s game over. It doesn’t need to happen the same month. Kidnappers play the long game. They strike when you’re emotionally and mentally off-guard.

🔥 What This Means for Crypto Traders:

1. No Flexing, No Screenshots, No Proof:
Never try to “prove” yourself. Let your silence speak wealth, not screenshots.

2. Don’t ever send money to online strangers.
Even if it’s $100. One day they’ll say, “He fit send more.”

3. Keep your real name detached from your crypto identity.
Use aliases, and don’t post anything that connects your usernames with your legal name.

4. Be extremely cautious of online romance, especially sudden admiration.
It’s often engineered. Digital love can become physical pain.

5. Don’t bring strangers to your home.
Even if she looks like the love of your life, it could be a trap.

You’re not paranoid. You’re alert.
In this world of rising wealth and desperation, crypto traders are the new Yahoo targets. But the format has evolved. No more emails. Just love, respect, and a loaded gun behind a smile.

Stay alert, silent, and anonymous. Always.

Great job on this piece! It's well structured and informative.

Anyone unfamiliar with futures trading should learn about it, focusing on shorting the market. After the next expected bull run peaks and reverses, the downward movement could be catastrophic.

Rug go full ground.

From my observation, BTC seems to be the only secured coin. It keep rising. I bought an alt coin hoping it will pump back to one of its recent high but unfortunately, it keep dipping.
I just have the feeling that most alt coins are created to drain people's money.

No lies! Alt coins are crypto noises and stealers.
