Hunger dey deal with them,.. is like their mummy no cook for them throughout today

The battle has been drawn. I support the green parallel channel, but I'm prepared for the red.

Any moment from now to 25th is important to the direction we'll take and when it happens, it'll be a giant candle.

💯

That's how I operate. I'm always on the minority. When I was shorting at 111k, people thought I was insane.

They don't know all my close-to-a-decade in crypto experience has been documented in videos. My pains, my tears, my emotions, my failures and my victories were documented.

I vividly describe my emotions, you could feel it from my voice in the videos, what I would've done, how painful it was, what caused it, etc. I rewatch these videos (just to feel those emotions again) and I have learned a lot from my past and this is why I'm a contrarian and my ways are odd.

Most times, I don't talk about them because I don't want to influence other people's decisions and conviction.

My conviction about BTC is topnotch, but for alts, I don't mind being convinced as long as QE has started, else you can't convince me.

I'm a bag of failure and víctory in alts, so I understand perfectly the power of going contrary to what most are doing or believing in.

The good thing is, my contrary belief is always backed by chart and history.

So, I support your pessimistic view and I'm a member of that political party.

We're not really pessimists, we're just more prepared for the worst than for the best.

The best is a bonus, the worst is the projection.

One trading skill i need to work on, if to study the chart, predict what's going to happen, check the news, calculate an entry and do absolutely nothing.

I hope i am able to learn it, by then, this overtrading challenge will be solved

Is there a way I can purchase btc directly from an exchange not through P2p?

Try Luno................................

GRACEGLORY:
That's possible. That's a perspective.
But what if, after everyone is positioned for a dump and miss out on the breakout. Isn't that possible too?

People had better be longing here. The war? It won't breakout. Trump's just bullying Iran, he wants Khamenei to cave in. He's playing psychology.

That'll be great, but nah, I'll be embarrassed to post them. Too personal and deep.

It's more like talking to myself, cursing myself for going against some of my rules because it backfired, admonishing myself and telling myself what to do when next the situation presents itself.

It's just personal reflection for personal consumption. The other ones are different strategies and techniques or info I discovered on the chart, so they needed to be documented in videos cuz they're too good to be forgotten.

This is one of the things I have always been preaching here for people to practice — documenting your crypto journey, especially the sad one and financial expenses in real life.

By now I know everyone has forgotten the crash we had the day Nigeria did hunger protest, but I haven't. Why? It was a painful crash and I documented my emotions and what I did wrong that day.

The most profitable traders don't trade the market, but the pattern.

Imagine you had a 100x trade on the last crash, where it dumped more than -10%. Even if it's a $500 or less than $2000 trade, do you know how much it would've been by now?

I don't encourage high leverage. I support only 5x max, but there are people who have build a system around it and I happen to be one of them.

Summary: Always have money for disaster and multiple backups incase the disaster gets worse and most importantly, document every disaster—your reaction, gurus and the media's reaction, people saying we'll go lower to create fear, people with hopium, etc.

When you have a bunch of these kinds of documentations, you've won the game—it gives you a psychological edge. You become an indestructible rock.

ZkSync at good entry, and ready for reversal, while the market listens out to cease war deals

Verbtips:
developing this kind of mental fortitude will be really damn hard........................................................

Experience will hand it to you. This is why you shouldn't be afraid of failing or losing in your early days in the game.

A newbie sees a beautiful woman and all he's thinking of is how to sleep with her, but an OG in the game will remember the infection the last beautiful girl gave him and how he wasted money trying to cure himself. Immediately her beauty vanishes or reduces in his eyes.

Same thing with crypto. If you remember the last time you were burnt, how impatience caused it, you'll understand JOMO more.

This doesn't mean you won't take action, but only calculated ones.

Build a system, trust it, obey it and you'll be financially unstoppable.

Just rewatched this video I made the day i entered 100x lev because all my 3 important indicators gave me a go ahead to be reckless and it paid off as usual. It has never failed. Tested and trusted. The day it'll fail, I switch to backups.

Summary: You don't need to be right, you just need to wait right there for the market to come to your system and it always does—it's just a matter of patience.

Can you keep your money untouched till this day happens? 90% of Nigerians can't. We are naturally an eager sets of creatures.

We hardly form a single line in an event when sharing of money or food is involved—we transfer that desperation or disorderliness to trading and we pay dearly for it. I know you understand what I mean.

Most people in crypto will lose money, especially 99.8% of Nigerians because of that.

BE DIFFERENT.

The market rewards a diligent and patient specialist.

Candle Colors Are a Lie — It's the Behavior That Matters

I've deliberately changed my candle colors to white and a darker shade of white — not quite gray, but something quieter. Why? To kill the noise and I could feel the calmness on my chart.

Because I’ve come to realize: it’s not really about the color of the candle.

In fact, color can be manipulative to the mind. It hijacks your emotions, makes you panic when you don’t need to — or get euphoric too soon. Red screams danger. Green whispers profit. But both can lie. The truth is deeper.

WHAT REALLY MATTERS?

The season you're in — market-wise. Every season has a rhythm, characteristics and to-do-list.

The month — each one tends to have its own behavioral traits and it repeats, though things shift slightly in some cases depending on global issues that affect the stock market, but things will still come back to follow history fully or partially.

The behavior of candles — their structure, not their shade.

Volume — is there real participation or is it a ghost move?

Candle identity — is it a hammer, an inverted hammer, a spinning top? What kind of doji is it?

Trendline — is it at a strong support or resistance?

These are the things that matter more than the color of the candle.

If you want to reduce the noise further, you add Heikin Ashi candle.

Red and green may be useful for scalpers / day traders who live in reaction. But for a swing trader — someone who plays behavior, not emotion — pattern trumps pigment.
Clarity over color.

Better to be a discipled idiot with no distractions than an undisciplined genius with shiny lights.

Yes, Heikin Ashi exposes the true colour of the volume. The two images above are the same, but the second one is Heikin Ashi candle and if the check the volume colour, it's different from the first image. The one of HA is more of the true direction of the market.

GRACEGLORY:
XEC status is higher than it was now, on May 16, 2025, MUSD issuance was approved on xec to launch a government-backed stablecoin. The initiative, supported by Executive Order 14178 to strengthen U.S. digital financial leadership.

Last on the list.
Ignore the supply, concentrate on the plan: they're for daily transactions

Meaning we will see a little dump, right?

bellocity:

Using the Heikin Ashi, 1 day TF says dump. 1 week says indecision and 1 month TF says uptrend.

The one I posted is 1 day, so yes. If I'm to answer based on the bigger picture, 1 month, then the 1 day TF is temporary and the uptrend will continue based on what 1 month is showing.

Real Volume and Fake Volume


A real volume is when the normal volume candle and the Heikin Ashi volume candle are the same colour, else it's fake—or let's call it not-real-enough.

Look at the image below. The upper one is the normal volume and the bottom one is Heikin Ashi volume.

The yellow arrow says the volume is real because both are green. The candle that follows are both red, so it's real dump, but the last two don't match, so it fake.

In the normal chart, the last two are showing green, yet were stagnant and roaming around 104-105k for two days now, but the Heikin Ashi volume is showing red (which is more accurate) and contradicts the normal volume.

For this, the green in the normal volume is not really a real volume, but fake. Things can change though—as it always does.

This info is a secret 99.99% of people in crypto don't know. I didn't even know it until one of my analysis exposed it.

So, always use this method to check out for real or fake volume. Not all green volumes are real momentum for a pump, some are manipulations.

The kind of fear that happened to me today...ehnn...saw one guy pnl of BTC in -$12k...big size though, but then, I was like shit, my BCH position would have been in massive red. I quickly went to check it, only to see that position don close🤣🤣 I was like shit...e don happen, I don chop stop loss for Buy position...quickly went to Closed Positions, and voila...$460+ in profit. haaa...what a relief!

Sometimes, you just have to believe in your analysis.

Institutions known to be involved with ZkSync


1. Deutsche Bank: Germany’s largest lender is developing a Layer-2 blockchain on Ethereum using zkSync,

2. UBS: Switzerland’s largest bank, managing over $5.7 trillion in assets, has tested zkSync Validium for its UBS Key4 Gold product, a blockchain-based fractional gold investment platform aimed at retail investors.

3. Blockchain Capital: Venture capital firm, a pioneer in the blockchain space, has upgraded its tokenized fund to operate exclusively on zkSync, leveraging its Layer-2 platform for faster, cheaper, and secure transactions

4. Sygnum Bank: This global digital asset banking group invested $50 million in Fidelity International’s Institutional Liquidity Fund, tokenized on zkSync. The investment uses zkSync’s technology to create secure, transparent proof-of-reserves for institutional investors,

5. Memento Blockchain: In collaboration with Deutsche Bank, Memento is using zkSync’s Prividium platform to build an on-chain fund management tool, showcasing early institutional adoption of zkSync’s enterprise-grade blockchain solutions.

6. Anchorage Digital: As the first institutional custodian to support zkSync, Anchorage enables institutions to securely hold zkSync ecosystem assets and participate in governance, marking a significant step for institutional engagement

7. Tradable Financial: A joint venture between Victory Park Capital Advisors and Spring Labs is tokenizing the $1.4 trillion private credit market using zkSync’s ZK Stack,

8. iCandy Interactive Limited: This gaming software company is deploying a hyperchain with zkSync’s ZK Stack to bring gamers to Web3, showing institutional adoption beyond traditional finance.



Understand your coin or token, the understanding shall strengthen your convictions.

I'll share with you part of the utility research I made before settling with ZkSync. This is just to encourage those holding ZK.

I had to tear through the best L2 chains for several days and countless hours.

zkSync, Arbitrum, and Optimism
Even though depends on specific use cases, as each Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution has distinct strengths.

Here's a brief of their core characteristics, bear in mind, my focus was toward the one that aligns best with general scalability, developer adoption, and long-term potential:


Arbitrum:
Optimistic Rollup:

Strengths: Leads in total value locked (TVL) with $5.24 billion and 55% market share as of August 2023, boasting 700 TPS and a robust ecosystem with over 500 DeFi protocols. Its multi-round fraud-proof system enhances security, and full EVM compatibility makes it developer-friendly, supporting languages like Rust and C++ alongside Solidity.

Weaknesses: Longer withdrawal times (up to 7 days) due to the challenge period, and centralized sequencers pose a minor trust risk.

Best for: Developers and projects prioritizing a mature ecosystem, high TVL, and broad dApp support.

Optimism:
Type: Optimistic Rollup

Strengths: Offers 200 TPS, simpler single-round fraud proofs for faster finality, and a strong community focus on public goods. Its OP Stack powers networks like Base, enhancing interoperability. Optimism’s EVM equivalence ensures seamless dApp migration, and its open-source MIT-licensed code fosters developer adoption. TVL stands at $2.41 billion with a 25% market share.

Weaknesses: Lower throughput than Arbitrum and zkSync, and its fraud-proof system is less cost-efficient than Arbitrum’s multi-round approach.

Best for: Projects valuing simplicity, Ethereum alignment, and community-driven governance.

zkSync:
Type: Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Rollup

Strengths: Excels in transaction speed (up to 2,000 TPS, with claims of 100,000 TPS potential) and instant finality due to ZK proofs. Features like gasless meta-transactions and atomic swaps enhance user experience. Its EVM compatibility (not full equivalence) supports most Ethereum dApps, and it leads in gas consumption (32% market share). Launched in March 2023, it’s rapidly growing with $1 billion in TVL.

Weaknesses: ZK tech is more complex, requiring specialized developer tools, and it’s less EVM-equivalent, which may slow dApp migration. Currently, transactions are transparent, though privacy features are planned.

Best for: High-throughput, privacy-focused applications like gaming or payments.


Why I chose zkSync: for its long-term potential. According to researches, among the trio: ARB, OP, and ZK, ZK Rollups offer superior scalability and faster finality, critical for mass adoption, and zkSync’s user-centric features like gasless transactions make it appealing for mainstream use. While Arbitrum currently dominates in TVL and ecosystem maturity, zkSync’s rapid growth and technological edge (e.g., recursive ZK-SNARKs) position it as a future leader, especially as ZK tech matures and developer tools improve.

Now, this should help you understand better what's coming for ZK as a utility chain.

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.

That's a powerful insight, and you're absolutely right—Heikin-Ashi candles can visually filter out noise and give clearer trend direction, especially for swing trading. Here's a breakdown of your secret, polished and structured a bit more for clarity, while keeping the essence of what you're saying:

🔥 Heikin-Ashi Candle Secret – Trend Clarity from Wickless Candles

1. Wickless Bottom = Strong Uptrend

> ✅ When the bottom of a Heikin-Ashi candle is flat (no lower wick), it's a powerful sign of bullish momentum.
This means:

Bulls are fully in control.

Price closed higher than it opened and stayed above the low all through the candle's period.

Often seen in a strong, uninterrupted uptrend.

🔺Red Arrows mark these candles—they often come in clusters of 3 to 5 or more during a real move up.

2. Wickless Top = Strong Downtrend

> ❌ When the top of a Heikin-Ashi candle is flat (no upper wick), it signals heavy bearish pressure.
This means:

Bears are dominating.

Price stayed weak throughout the candle.

Often marks strong downside moves, ideal for trend-following shorts.

🟨Yellow Arrows at the top mark these candles—again, multiple wickless tops often signal a powerful swing down.

📊 Why It Works So Well

Heikin-Ashi smooths data by averaging price, so it filters out minor pullbacks and noise.

Wickless candles show no hesitation in the direction of the move.

Great for swing traders who want to ride trends and avoid fakeouts.

Less useful for scalpers/day traders, who need finer resolution.
