How to Trade Bitcoin

Bitcoin has evolved from a niche asset to a global macro indicator. Trading BTC requires a mix of traditional technical analysis and an understanding of crypto-specific liquidity cycles.

01

Manage the 24/7 Market

Unlike Forex, Bitcoin never sleeps. This means gaps can happen at any time. We recommend not holding high-leverage positions over the weekend.
02

Use Exchange Inflows as Data

Large amounts of BTC moving onto exchanges often signals potential selling pressure. Use on-chain data as a secondary signal.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • /FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) during parabolic moves
