What are 3-4 days not to trade BTC

ChatGPT:
Here are 3–4 key days when it's generally NOT ideal to trade Bitcoin (BTC) — due to high volatility, low liquidity, or market manipulation risk:

1. Major U.S. Federal Reserve (FOMC) Decision Days
Why avoid: Markets become hyper-volatile due to interest rate decisions and Powell’s press conference. BTC often whipsaws before direction becomes clear.
Examples: FOMC meetings (usually 8 per year; check Federal Reserve Calendar).

2. U.S. CPI Data Release Days (Monthly Inflation Report)
Why avoid: CPI reports spark major reactions in traditional markets, which trickle into BTC via risk-on/off sentiment.
Release time: Usually the second Wednesday of each month at 8:30 AM EST.
Typical behavior: BTC pumps or dumps in seconds — hard to predict.

3. Year-End Holidays (Dec 24–Jan 2)
Why avoid:
Thin liquidity, easy manipulation.
Whales can easily shake out retail or trap latecomers during Santa rallies or New Year dumps.

Pattern: Sudden spikes and fakeouts, followed by reversals in early January.

4. April 15 or U.S. Tax Deadlines
Why avoid: Investors often sell assets to cover tax bills.
Result: Sudden sell pressure and unpredictable drops.
Note: This is more relevant in years where crypto gains were big the previous year.

Optional Bonus:
Post-ETF listing hype days or major exchange listing days
Often cause "sell the news" events.

ChatGPT:
Would you like a calendar version with 2025’s FOMC + CPI + holidays marked as “no-trade” zones?

User:
I don't care about CPI and FOMC. Just tell me the day of the week with low volatilities.

ChatGPT:
Got it — if you’re looking purely for days of the week with low volatility for Bitcoin (BTC), here’s how it typically plays out:

📉 LOWEST VOLATILITY DAYS (Avoid for Trading):

1. Sunday
Why: Traditional markets are closed, fewer traders active.
Effect: Tight ranges, low volume, boring price action — or sudden illiquid wicks.

2. Monday
Why: Market participants are waiting for traditional finance (Wall Street) cues.
Effect: Often consolidates or retraces weekend moves; not ideal for breakout trades.

⚠️ MIXED / NEUTRAL:

3. Wednesday
Why: Sometimes sees mid-week setups forming or failed breakouts.
Effect: Can go either way — not too volatile, not too dead.

🔥 HIGH VOLATILITY DAYS (Best for Trading):
Tuesday, Thursday, and especially Friday — these are when BTC tends to break out, trend, or react to broader market events.

✅ Final Summary:
If you're looking for 3–4 days NOT to trade BTC due to low volatility, they are:

1. Sunday
2. Monday
3. (Sometimes) Wednesday

Tomorrow is 25th, which direction are we heading to RED or GREEN??

It's supposed to happen today, but it's scared. The resistance has refused to let us push through. I hope you know I'm not the controller of the market, I'm just someone who specialises in mastering the game and its manipulative moves.

I'm going to short, hoping I get liquidated for the market to pump so that everyone will jubilate and swim in profit.

I want to be the sacrificial lamb.

Maybe, the manipulation I talked about 2-3 days ago is completed. It was an 8k or 7k manipulation.

I said they want to dump it to 100k and within minutes, pump it to 108k to liquidate shorts, but they're smarter than me, so they went for 98k and pumped it to 106k within minutes. If you do the math, the difference is still 7k-8k.

I'm not a trader, I'm a pattern and manipulation observer and I'm at least always 80% or more right. No one can be 100% right. Max you can go is 99%.

Now, the market is going to consolidate and they'll device their next agenda.

Currently, 1 day has flipped to uptrend, just like 1 months but 1 week Heikin Ashi is still indecision.

This is what I call Twice As Tall.

When volume crosses the blue line in half. The image below is 1 day TF, but I prefer it in 1 wk TF.

If you incorporate this in your trading, you'll be ahead of others.

Trading TAT alone can make you money. You bought when the red is TAT + other rules and sell when the green it TAT + other rules.

Someone who bought at 99k can sell at this 106k that it reached today if he wants to, but waiting for 10% pump in a day is the best while this one is good too.

Used to think this btcdorm was in percentages, anyways we keep learning

Yes, it's in percentage in Tradingview, but on Binance, it's different.

When your tears is longer than your height and you're a Fulani. Tinubu has truncated their agenda.

Not a supporter of APC, but instead of a Fulani to occupy a sensitive position, let Wike and INEC rig it in favour of Tinubu and if the loser goes to court, the judge will rule in favour of Tinubu.

The Fulanis holding sensitive positions scare me. They have zero good intentions, just like Tinubu, but at least, he's the lesser evil.

I shorted BTC dominance from 5.8k and left just now. I know I was not supposed to, but the profit was enough.

MamaFutures:
You can't pissed me without my permission.

But from your write-up,
you are already pissed.

You easy get pissed, especially when corrected.

It's good to be in a perpetual state of learning.

If you don't quote me, I'll never quote you. Just ignore me for 1 year and you'll notice how I'll forget you exist.

How can someone who has 24 hours free power supply since he was born and 1 kg gas can serve him for a year because he uses electric stove be pissed at someone who goes to his neighbour's house to charge his phone?

Lucky people like us are hardly pissed. Too many things to be grateful for. We just wonder why unlucky people hate us. Maybe, we are too assertive, authoritative, domineering, arrogant and too happy at the same time and they hate it.

Abeg, e don do — you won.

Make I go Instagram go see whether my man VDM don post video. He's the only reason I use that app.

crazymommy:
he is obsessed with you

I'm a very wicked person and your gender caused it. But I admire and always care for your gender though.

Moved to country as an 18 year old boy. Fell in love with this stunning and spotless Asian girl.

She reciprocated and I smothered her with love and always professed how much I love her every day and two weeks to the relationship, she blocked me on all social media.

Damn! I cried and decided to figure out what I did wrong and how to do better.

I found out people become addicted to you if you believe in yourself, somehow rude, unapologetic, somehow arrogant, persistent in your pursuit, and you don't need them.

They want a prodigal son they can change. If you're already changed and nice, you're boring and they'll leave because you're not a challenge. She left because I was a won battle — she needed a man, a challenge, not a pushover in love.

Then they hate you. If they notice you're not bothered by the hate and abuses, they become obsessed or bitter.

As I am now, every human only has two options with me

1. To be obsessed with me or
2. To be bitter with me.

Funnily, I don't even give an eff about the option they choose. Just knowing that I don't need them is enough for my ego.

The women in life are always option 1 while the men are option 2.

On Nairaland, some meant are choosing option 1, so I'm suspecting them of being angel Gabriel.

That Asian girl created a monster and I'm so grateful to her to making me discover things early and reading 100s of book on human, life, relationship, psychology, finance, and survival.

So, I appreciate your gender. If not for her, this MamaFuture wouldn't be obsessed with me today.

He knows if he doesn't quote me, our two will NEVER interact. I get pride and it doesn't fall. If it falls, I'll pick it.

MamaFutures:
How will you learn from others, when you view corrections as an attack, & not an avenue to learn something new.

Guy, calm down. I saw you quoted me but I didn't read to avoid triggering me to reply because if I reply, no matter what I say or how nice I sound, you'll attack.

You've done it too many times. You're never in with me for a peaceful conversation, but "you're wrong, you're wrong, it won't work, it doesn't work with real money, your system is flawed," rhetoric.

If I don't reply, you'll quote yourself again to murmur.

I don't know how to please you. Okay, to make you happy, non of my systems work, but yours do.

Learn what? You have refused to teach willingly as I do. If I want to learn, I use Tradingview, Google or YouTube and now ChatGPT. Teach us something these places can't teach.

Each time you quote me, you're waiting for a war and if I don't reply for the war to start, you get pissed.

If you take a look at these images below, you'll notice ETH's volume going up and BTC down for two months now. Something wants to shift, but it's waiting for the right news.

People on ETH will make so much money.

crazymommy:
I love your style of shutting hypocrites and haters up... ...they deserve "no attention "...they are noise makers.

They just need to win sometimes for peace to reign.

Themainboy22:
Going by this, I think we'll experience a sharp decline to around 94-95k this week, followed with a fast reversal before the week ends. That would aid the monthly TF to continue with it's uptrend.

The market is full of manipulation and I love it that way. We might even go to 112k before the decline. The job of market makers is to confuse even the smartest and most prepared.

bid4rich:
WHITE FOOD is missing on the list,

Maybe white soup will make up for that.

Just date a white girl and you'll get it for free...

Some days ago, using Heikin Ashi, 1 day TF was in downtrend, 1 week was indecision and 1 month on uptrend.

Today, 1 day is still downtrend, 1 week in now downtrend too and 1 month is still uptrend.

What does this mean? The dump might not be fully over yet, but thank God 1 month is in uptrend.

Remember, this is strictly Heikin Ashi method.

Hedgefunds:
I understand...Am looking @ 75-83k do you think it realistic or not. do you have a trading class...i want to take leverage.

Your prediction doesn't look bad, but I'll still hold back on my personal bias. No, I don't.

XaToXi:

Just an observation:

Anyone waiting to buy from this chart would have placed bids at 94k, 86k and 78k5.

They would have missed the buy1 since it occurred at 98k instead and btc may retest 103/105/109k again before it dumps further to 94-74k.

That's why people ask you to give calls i.e. set specific levels they can place buy or sell bids at. All risks on them. Without that, this system is almost impossible to follow.

Looking deeper, 98k is the midpoint of 102k and 94k while 90k is the midpoint of 94k and 86k. Then 82.25k or even 76k is/are the last midpoint(s) so buyers could have targeted 98k, 90k and 82.25k or even 76k give or take $200 margin of error.

Just an observation.

Understandable observation. So, what do you suggest? Or let me ask, how did you get 94k as first buy? Over here, it's 99k-97k as first buy and it was perfectly achieved.

Modified: Oh, you're using the amount by the side as your 3 buys. Lol.

Nothing concerns those amounts by the side with the system. The price we're after is the one when the candle touches either the wick or the body of the fence, not those ones.

"That's why people ask you to give calls i.e. set specific levels they can place buy or sell bids at. All risks on them. Without that, this system is almost impossible to follow."

No need to give a call when I have already given the entire system to them. They're too smart for that. We're building a nation of independent minds.

What I meant was that I already had a money kept for this present situation of market deep. But greediness overwhelmed me and I enter a long trade too early.
If one can keep money separately especially for periods when every is very red, then ride it back to the recent high.
Using Ileg.endd concept of entering trades at a certain level, will ensure one is gaining consistently.
Some might have all the knowledge, but lack of patience might spoil everything.

Since you're battling emotional control, meet that nurse in your street and tell her you want her to set any password of her choice on your Kucoin account and if you come to ask for the password, she shouldn't give it to you except you show proof that BTC had pumped or dumped 10% in a day.

If you can't show proof, you have to pay her 100k or more to get the password. If there is proof, you get it without payment.

Why Kucoin? It has an option to enter a passcode before you can execute a trade. You'll have to activate it. Some other exchanges have it too.

Without this passcode, you can't enter a trade or sell. I used to hate that functionality, but now I know the value.

Also, let her set a code for your USDT transfer. Without it, you can't send out money even with your password, OTP, and Google authentication.

Just put yourself in a position you can't access the money no matter the emotional trigger until the rule you set is met.

You don't really need to meet a nurse, it could be your friend or family members — as long as you're safe.

Note: Let them take a picture of the password and also write it down. Let it be known by at least 2 people in case of unforseen disaster — you know what I mean.

Hedgefunds:
What your projection price for September dumping .

For now, I can't say to avoid putting fear in people. I want to promote hopium at the moment.

50/50 on ETH.

I'm on a long on Eth and will be liquidated at 1.2k. Will it go for it? I don't know, but nothing is impossible.

The market doesn’t reward intelligence. It rewards obedience.

Obedience to rules.
Obedience to price.
Obedience to what is, not what you think should be.

But the human mind — especially the sharp ones — resists rules. It wants to interpret, to interfere, to feel smart. And that is how it loses.

"Reward the right behavior, not the right outcome."

Rule is the reason I was unable to use my exchange since Saturday, but did today, being Monday to buy some even though there is a higher chance of going lower.

Intelligent people like you hate obeying rules, but it's the only thing that'll save you and put your emotions in control in crypto.

If you're a newbie, these terminologies are important.

The Wall of Jericho and China has 3 buys and buy 1 printed at 98k.

They won't buy, but they'll ask my followers if they're in profit.

The thing is, I don't expect to be followed, I only share my system, which I'll one day delete all of them after they've been turned to a book series.

There is no need trying to size people's pocket—it's fishy in a crime scene nation like Nigeria.

There are people who will see the image below and say, "Okay, let me wait for buy 3." When buy 3 comes, they still won't buy.

What if it doesn't even come till bear season starts.

Woke from a nap and realized the USDT dominance yellow line refused allow the market crash.

When USDT Dom goes up, BTC dumps. If it breaks on Monday and heads to the red box, BTC will dump and alts will bleed.

This is good for the market. Afterall, August or September will witness a heavy dump on BTC to scare even the toughest people and October to December will be final joy.

I once said those who'll buy inside the red or green box will make the most money. Those buying inside the white box are either gamblers or doing 50/50.

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the 50/50ers and I'll also participate in the red or green box.

But, most of these whales are greedy and I like it.

cigwegbe:
Okay. Please find it attached. thank you.

You're viewing BTC via Binance exchange on TView. I suggest you use Bitstamp cuz the data is from 2010 while Binance is probably from 2017. Also, Bitstamp gives more accurate volume and data.

cigwegbe:
Okay. Please find it attached. thank you.

Search for Volume and add it, then double click the volume bar after it has appeared on your screen and activate the 20 EMA option.

armadeo:
So this guy knows what he's doing ?

Interesting.

I monitor all Hyperliquid whales liquidation point on CoinAnk. And it works wonders when you're using their liquidations points as an entry + your rules.

With all these two many shorts, hmmm. Sharp reversal may happen to punish them.

cigwegbe:
Please, which volume indicator do you use that has the blue line?

Post your Tradingview screenshot let me see how it looks so I can guide you. It's a piece of cake task.

Posted this on the 19th about Heikin Ashi and with the image below and it played out exactly. This is why I advocate Heikin Ashi for swing traders because it exposes a lot about true direction of the market and removes distraction.

iLegendd:
Let me teach you one secret about Heikin-Ashi candle, which I learned two, three years ago.

Take a look at this image. Did you see the red arrows from the bottom? Whenever the bottom of the candle is solid, there is no wick coming down. It means it's an uptrend. We are just going up, no matter what.

Can't you see about four to five candles? The ones with red arrows, the bottoms are all round, no single wick downward at all.

Then look at the other one, the yellow candle from the top. When the top is round and there is no wick, it's a downtrend.

When the bottom is round and there is no wick, it's an uptrend.

So with this Heikin-Ashi candle, you will know the direction we are going. It's the best candle. It's a secret, though, not that good for day traders, but the best for swing traders.
