1: Stoic’s trading education corner

Stoics Trading Corner, trading education to level you up + learning Bitcoin levels to keep an eye on this week, must read:

Market is a conglomerate of positions that are dynamic in nature.

Great thread discussing edge and a perspective on how to view the market.

Alpha Thread

I don’t necessarily agree with needing 6 figs to start trading on a CEX or praying for incentives if you’re under 6 figures.

I believe it all depends on your goals. You can start learning how to trade with less capital and pay tuition as a learning experience with a far smaller portfolio that is allocated for that purpose.

However, the list and the general direction as a whole is solid. Some things are open for individual discretion.

This is a useful ndicator for people who are leaning towards the side of experienced when it comes to trading.

Getting Better by Reducing What Makes You Worse

There are two ways you can think of getting better at something.

1. Improving your skillset

2. Determining and reducing/eliminating anything that is getting in the way of progress.

This second framework can prove useful if you feel like you are plateauing when it comes to investing, trading onchain, trading perps etc.

On Volatility and Taking on Risk

Robot James is an OG of the game. The frameworks he provides can be applied to any approach in a general manner.

This thread is no different. I would urge you to check out his website which has grouped some of his longer form helpful tweets (website in his Twitter bio).

Thoughts on BTC

Sorry Pirates had some technical difficulties with recording a video but here are my detailed thoughts on the market currently.

Let’s keep it simple. BTC has now been ranging for the past ~ 10 days.

That means we play the range until the range is not valid anymore.

Some alts are looking fairly weak and bleeding out against selective alts (RNDR, FIL etc.). This has been fairly obvious this week. Capital has been rotating around.

Here are some levels to keep in mind (also labeled on the chart):

Feb 14-Feb 23

Range 53090 high - 50528 low (Binance Perps)

Value Area

VAH- 52.4

VAL- 51.5

vPoC- 51.8 (Resistance)

Thesis- as long as the range low holds, at a minimum = opportunities on strong/select alts.

For Continuation: PoC demonstrated to be resistance past few days.

Flip of VAL + PoC w/ continued strength on the part of spot would indicate higher Otherwise lower we go.

Current BTC Spot Liquidity (left: Binance Spot, Right: Coinbase)

Orderbook on the right being shown for Binance.

The general theme is ~52-53+ has supply sitting in the books currently.

It will require a push that is backed by spot chasing (spot bidding) to get past the 52+ area. On the left side of the image, you can observe that some people seem to be in a rush to sell lower (labeled sell orders). More spot orders appearing in the Binance book on the sell side.

Conclusion: BTC is currently ranging, play it as such. This ranging behavior (as long as the range low holds) will offer opportunities onchain and on select alts until the trend resumes.

If the range breaks down, there are several areas of interest but I suspect if this current range breaks down we will need to give the market some time to stabilize before continuation.
