Today I bought another BTC at 69.2k. Soon, if price goes below I will be trolled, be called an idiot, all that good stuff. I have a strategy and will execute it no matter what. My strategy may very well be different than yours, but I have one. So, Im not just a guy doing lines on charts, I´m an investor just like you. Going into the red in some of my entries is part of the game. I play the long game. So you can believe me, when I say I´m buying, I actually am.

And it's done. The Astro Order Flow & Institutional Framework has been created. My complete institutional trading framework, fully decoded. "How to identify liquidity, understand positioning, execute with precision, and navigate markets with clarity and intent." And with that, I have completed the Astro Order Flow & Institutional Framework. This is a full institutional-style inspired trading framework built around market structure, price action, liquidity, order flow, execution, positioning, and risk management. For the first time, I have taken the exact concepts, techniques, and execution processes I personally rely on and structured them into a complete educational framework that can be learned, understood, and applied independently over time. You know by now one of my biggest frustrations with this industry. People posting hindsight charts, people posting fancy indicators, people posting vague predictions, people posting old tweets after the move already happened. And when everything is over, somehow the explanation always becomes "you should have known." I have always believed the trading industry should move in the opposite direction. More clarity, more transparency, more structure, more accountability and more live sharing and execution. It's what I've been trying to push since the day I arrived on this platform, and have not slowed since, as many of you know me for. And it's that philosophy what has exactly led to the creation of this framework. Because while many traders can show a trade, very few can properly explain the step-by-step live execution process behind it. The positioning, the liquidity, the execution, the invalidation, the reason the trade exists in the first place. Since my first day on X, many of you have seen the entries, the longs, the shorts, the targets, the liquidity pools, the executions, all in live time. But rarely the complete structure sitting underneath them. Simply because there is no time to explain, or make you comprehend fully. This framework changes that. It takes concepts that are often fragmented across dozens of different sources and combines them into one coherent actionable program that can actually be applied in real market conditions. Not just theory, not just isolated tools, a complete framework designed to take the complexity out of markets and replace it with structure, clarity, and repeatable execution. This took a long time to put together because teaching execution properly is significantly harder than teaching price action or indicators, especially when trying to make it accessible to traders of all skill levels. Learning these concepts early on can save years of confusion and bad habits later. Indicators and price action are easy. Execution is not. Anyone can draw a line or box on a chart. Very few people can consistently explain why a position exists, how it emerged, how it should be managed, where it should be targeted, where it becomes invalid (without being hunted), and how to navigate it when conditions change. Very few people can consistently explain why a position exists, how it emerged, how it should be managed, how it should be targeted, where it becomes invalid (without being hunted), and how to navigate it when conditions change. That is where most traders struggle, and that is exactly what this framework focuses on, with the goal to teach how order flow, liquidity, market structure, execution, and risk management combine into one complete process. So here you go, it is being delivered. The Astro Order Flow & Institutional Framework has been created. A sincere thank you goes to the mentors, traders, and researchers whose work contributed directly or indirectly to the concepts that helped shape my own understanding over the years, and I thank some of their permission to share some directly adopted tricks of the trade. Many of those influences are represented throughout the framework, combined with my own research, observations, execution models, and practical experience. Framework highlights: ✅ Institutional market structure ✅ TPO and auction market theory ✅ Liquidity pool identification and targeting ✅ Order flow fundamentals ✅ Advanced order flow execution ✅ Footprints, DOM and tape reading ✅ Institutional invalidation techniques ✅ Proprietary execution signatures ✅ Complete swing trading framework ✅ Complete scalping framework ✅ Practical real-world execution examples ✅ Designed for complete trading independence As always, this is not financial advice. It is simply a window into the framework that, with humble honesty, fundamentally changed the way I personally approach markets, making trading feel significantly more structured, more routine, and considerably less stressful, whilst still retaining the thrill that makes the profession enjoyable in the first place.

Introducing the Astro Order Flow & Institutional Framework This is the culmination of years spent reading markets the way institutions do: uncovering liquidity, understanding order flow, and executing with precision. Now, for the first time, I’m working on offering the exact framework I’ve refined over the years to filter noise, identify positioning, and navigate markets with clarity. You voted for it, and I listened. After years of keeping this side of my process fully private, I’ve spent recent months carefully structuring and refining the clearest way to finally share it properly. I’m getting ready to reveal how I identify institutional positioning, order flow imbalances, and high precision execution, whilst integrating it into a complete trading framework designed to function as a standalone system in itself. Eliminating intuition, eliminating guesswork. Just structured logic, repeatable execution, and a deeper understanding of how markets actually move. Over time, after beginning the process of opening up more of my trading systems publicly, many of you started asking for the next layer: the detailed structure behind the calls, the logic behind the positioning, and the framework I personally rely on. So there you go, still undergoing preparation as effectively as me (and my team) can handle, but it should be ready the coming week. This is indeed my complete institutional framework at hand: a system designed to remove noise, reduce emotional decision making, and focus on how major market participants actually position and execute. Some further teases of what is coming: ✔️ 3 institutional-level execution frameworks ✔️ Order flow methodology built around real liquidity shifts and liquidity pool targeting ✔️ My infamous order flow signatures ✔️ My institutional invalidation strategy in full detail, keeping you hidden from SL hunts ✔️ Step-by-step logic designed to remove discretionary confusion of entering and exiting position ✔️ Practical executions that appear regularly and teach you to think structurally ✔️ Designed to give you full independence, no blind following, not even of me If you’ve followed my market navigation over the years, then you already know the track record. Now, I’m offering the framework behind it. To be candid, releasing this wasn’t easy either. As a matter of fact, it still isn’t fully released yet, and there are still final confirmations and mentor permissions I need to work through properly behind the scenes. But once I began the process of opening up the systems I’ve built over the years, this naturally became part of that culmination. And equally important, the systems I have built to protect the framework itself whilst still allowing me to share it properly with you, are now battle tested and give me the confidence to finally move forward with this release whilst keeping the edge itself protected. I’m proud of what has been built, and even more motivated to help serious traders break through the noise properly. If all goes well, further details will follow as I continue refining the final execution and structure behind the framework. As always, this is not financial advice, just a window into the framework that heavily refined, or with (humble) honesty: frankly changed, the way I personally trade.

$btc We are going to have a chat very soon together. A lesson you will never forget learning, if you haven't already.
Astronomer@astronomer_zero

$btc shorts - The Iran Peace Treaty Deal, how to deal with (ignore) news and the forward pricing nature of markets. My bold claim: we will see new lows once more and the deal should be framed in bearish light, not bullish That's a mouthful of a title. But I'm getting a lot of comments re-occurring which are of the form: "Astro, why build shorts on this pump, Trump is negotiating deals for reopening Hormuz, once the deal is closed, we will go higher". Before I get deeper, I can always be wrong on the trade and we can just send and my attempt to bust the comment above could be a complete failure. But the reality is different. Ever had the feeling of closing a long because "bad news is looming?" "war threats are coming". Or ever had the feeling of closing a short because "war is about to end?". Then accepting the reality I am about to share will likely help you erase that fear for good. The market constantly prices in the current sentiment and current collective mind of the news out there. Right now, that collective mind is lots of hope for good news while the good news hasn't arrived yet. Markets are forward pricing in nature, not backwards pricing. The current news available and known to everyone does not move price, it already has. That's why we watch the charts, and not the news. That's why we don't try to explain every move using news either since not all news is equally important. The market never cared what Jerome Powell said, only the anticipation and sentiment around it does. If this trade closes into a W and we see new lows, let that be a lesson, to not care about the news, when entering a trade, when holding a trade, when exiting a trade. Because if the deal doesn't go through and $btc makes new lows, everyone will blame it on the deal. But guess what, if the deal goes through and $btc still makes new lows, people will call the asset "bad" or "lagging" or "why is spx moving up and not btc, sell your bitcoin now, the asset is dead". Case and point, there will always be a narrative to why price did x, y or z. People will always look for reasons. Show me the charts and I'll tell you the narrative. Remember my bold claim. Once and if we made new lows and my (bold) plan to build shorts into it plays out, I will go back to this tweet, and you will become wiser, I promise. If not and the idea is wrong, at least, I tried. But I promise you that the business as usual is new lows once more. And, once $btc made new lows, we will not blame it on the deal (if it goes wrong), we will not blame it on $btc being a lagging asset compared to $spx at the moment (if the deal goes right). And then there is the third scenario, where nothing happens, or only a smaller pump. Then the bulls come out loudly, tell me I was wrong, and then we see new lows regardless. So, it's all a façade, hence we will simply ignore the news, news is just a subset of the narrative, which always comes after the move, not before. Markets are forward pricing.

$btc A post made days before the bottom, where we broke down and I said yes we're heading lower, but not by much "Don't be too bullish, but not too bearish either" 60k was the ideal level. The best part: that last move down, is where the large, large majority got ultra bearish. Many high timeframe bears suddenly started increasing their frequency of posts. Large (hedge) shorts opened. It was a perfect time, to clearly not make it happen, and it won't happen in the future either in my humble opinion.

Astronomer@astronomer_zero

$BTC Full analysis, plan and why it's not worth to be overly bearish, nor overly bullish either Local lows (75.3k) are unsafe, but I don't expect a deep bear market. Good morning. As you all know, my bullish bias established in the 80-85k range, where I expected the range to reach 95k and especially 112k, has just been invalidated. It held 11 weeks, we got a 20% move, got 95k move. From it, had a few wins (8), but also 2 losses I took myself (and 3 suggested trades), so let's count it as 3. Two losses defly from being too confident in 112k from the 80-85k range. Still confident in that level, but not from a trading perspective worth mentioning. So 3 losses, 8 wins certainly not ideal and below my standards/usual record, I made some clear mistakes as well as no readiness for unclear weekend-macro events etc. I certainly expected this bias to hold for longer and price going higher, but ah well. About my PnL throughout this range, it started out really well, of course as many know, but then ended up giving a large amount of it back unfortunately. Also wish I sold a lot more of my spot positions at 125k, as you know only posted to sell a tiny amount at 125k, same for $ETH at 5k. And of course, the first compounds of spot at 84k we aimed to sell at 112k, I also still hold and are below entry (for now). Plan next During times like this, draw boarding needs to be heavier as plan didn't work out. So I'm exactly sharing here what my plan is next, what I will do with my positions (action = key), and what type of trades (long or short) I am looking for as well as where, giving a deep summary and comments on thought process (which is key). As you know, I like to be thorough, one line doesn't define a trade, only a thorough system does especially now after taking some losses. And only the thorough reader gets access to my full plan. Top to bottom On big drawboarding sessions, always going from top to bottom (high timeframe then to lower timeframe). On the very high cyclical timeframe, I already expressed how, if my bias would fail and we close below 81k (not yet done but let's expect it for now), it's going somewhat lower, but it's not going to be a deep bear market. I drew the next purple POI (as per usual, purple weekly POI = similar style to every weekly low I called in the past) where I expect price to at least put in a serious countertrend rally from. To 112k? I'll get to that in later posts, not relevant right now. But it will be a "bottom" worth buying long timeframe on local confirmations The purple POI is quite a way below us but it indeed is not a classic -80% bear market, only 50% off the all time high. Another reason why I wasn't all too bearish high timeframe as it wasn't as important. I'm still wrong of course but as long as longs are exited, it's all fine. This worst case (but now turning likely) case of scenario is what I quietly once thought about would be the worst if I was wrong and we topped 125k, so here it is, the devils verdict I didn't but any weight on. I don't guarantee it yet, like I said, it's not entirely clear where I think the market will go next, so very much an if this, then that type of post here, with a worst case scenario (purple) in mind, but key to have for our long term (spot BTC, alts on confirmation only) thoughts. Moving down a timeframe (H6/H12, where my edge is focused and where I trade actively), We have weekend lows, as well as favourable cyclical timing for lower (cycle not done yet, more on that later). To our disadvantage unfortunately, execution was bad on that , but level worked very well as the one pivot deciding which way the 80-85k value area would break, the value area is still the same so I still have it on the chart. We also still have the 90.8k key level we pointed out which still held itself very strongly. To our disadvantage unfortunately, execution was bad on that as you know, but level worked very well as the one pivot deciding which way the 80-85k value area would break, the value area is still the same so I still have it on the chart. My actions So, actions follow naturally from plan here, giving both spot and trade actions Positional actions (spot multi-day/weekly timeframe) Since my bullish bias is invalidated, I am naturally no longer actively looking for longs. But also because I don't expect a deep bear market, I am not selling any spot here, I am in 80% in here, avg entry 34k, which used to be 21.5k (I'm sure many remember this post), but due to the recent ads at 84k 11 weeks ago, has gone up of course.. That's still a comfy entry, if you have a similar entry (I assume the minority I only had about 5k followers or so back at our $BTC 21.5k call. So I can already hear you: "what if I only bought 84k spot and I didn't have any before?" In that case, if you are heavily allocated, I would try to sell some (half) right now and especially getting closer to 90.8k (gradual but aggressive selling) I don't think selling all makes sense, given my expectations of not receiving much worse than a 50% drawdown at worst, and 84k already being down 30% from ath, are still decent entries. But it's good to keep a large portion open for the purple below to correct overall entry and position better for the next bull run. Swing trade actions (futures) Per last $BTC post, no longer exposed in perps, and bullish bias invalidated. I am not overly bearish as is clear from the chart, but shifted neutral. That means looking for a range for me to establish that neutral range and get back to trading it as well. Again not entirely clear where the range will form yet. But happy to trade it as we go. Not from the long side for now, but only from the short side, as I indeed see weekend lows get cleared and they also are defined weak on the TPO. But I'm not shorting from right here, rather closer to 90.8k (our key pivot/reclaim) for better RR as well as closing CME gap first i.e. 84k, only then targeting weekend lows. What if we go full moon (after taking weekend lows)? It's always possible, and doing so before hitting purple is of course also possible. But I don't see it likely at all before hitting weekend lows first, and even after, we very likely clear out the Mar-May lows first, and that already puts us close to purple, which should be deemed a magnet on proximity for demand and spread manipulation reasons. If it does happen though, I will gladly sell spot at 112k, the still existing magnet, but then expect a large downswing which I will look to short for a large move down. So in short, only looking for shorts at the moment. $BTC trends (down in this case) can extend, there still is money there, so that's what I look to grab, whilst keeping in mind high timeframe the bottom is likely far closer than many think (still going somewhat against the sentiment of this cycle playing out like 2022 and this range leading us all the way to 30k). Don't think so, likely bottoming much higher, but not yet and closer to the middle of the year. Trade entries will be shared live as always (which is key), and I always look to confirm with local order flow and will comment on it. Summary;TLDR In short, BTC broke my bullish bias, which I didn't deem likely, but here it is. This means I am not bullish for a while. I am not overly bearish either high timeframe as just expressed as I don't see lower than 60k, which isn't worth being bearish for, can't make much from selling spot in full and buying back lower, that's too risky. Instead just looking to swing trade, with taking a short if we hit CME close first, targeting weekend lows. If weekend lows are hit first, I will not be looking to long, at least not with heavy confirmation first. Going full moon is also possible right after clearing weekend lows, but I don't see that likely at all here after bullish bias invalidation. That is my plan for now, plus actions. Backed by price action, range theory, cyclical analysis, liquidity arrangement and my own core edge. So all-in-all, not too bad to hold spot through, which is why I am holding it. Key is to get in the right trades, and up the win rate again from the recent 8/11 wins (=72%) without forcing it. Final disclaimers I never guarantee 100% win rate. But I do always aim making (very good) money if risk managed well. I do know it's joyful going all in because you found me not missing for a long period on trades in a recent time right after you found me such as some dm's. But do risk manage, a good start is taking the same size on every trade. Yes, some of those dm's did proceed of people being liquidated because of my last 2/3 trades. But then I asked what size they took and it was 4 times higher than the wins I posted as they gained confidence in my streak. Not logical as most trades were exited before even hitting -1R and not held in long drawdown. Always same size (scaled to timeframe is the healthiest check. Enjoy the analysis, plan and comments on risk management.

$BTC New highs made ✅️ Here we go, for the fifth time, new highs are made. I know it seems irrational to keep calling for higher even if a rally lasted for a 26 whopping days already and has made new highs for the 5th time now. But there's a reason why the majority was/still is short or wait for sub 50k. And it's not because they're bearish per se. It's because most missed out, didn't see new highs because a "trend must end eventually". It's the Cassandra Syndrome on a small timeframe. And so they kept/keep shorting/waiting instead of longing/buying. That's what builds this slow painful trend for them. Waiting costs and markets punish. That's COMO (the cost of missing out). Thos continues higher indeed and I'll see you at 80k+, where my next long target is situated.

$BTC Data analysis, FOMC reversal Update Indeed, not FOMC reversal, but FOMC-'continuation' Alright, price pushes higher into new overall highs. Not only does that invalidate the FOMC reversal analysis, which typically has a 90% chance of working, we also timed this exact occurrence at this very FOMC meeting, expecting a lackluster pullback in the overall frame of the quarterly move. Price is now at 98k yet the timeline is still quiet and the net value of positions is still around that neutral level. We'll see how it plays out but so far, the invalidation of the FOMC reversal is a great start.
Astronomer tweet media
Astronomer@astronomer_zero

$BTC Data analysis & our big long positions Will $BTC top out around at the start of May? Alright, price at 95k which is slightly up from our entry of our big long position we took a few days ago now (shown on the screen). It seems as if the world is against us for this one, and with the FOMC meeting coming up, even my own type of analysis could be against it, seemingly. And to consistently win trades, it's a great idea and only rightful to never disregard any type of analysis of your own library whether that goes against or with the move you are trying to catch because that is the very definition of confirmation bias. Indeed, the FOMC meeting coming up on the 7th could cause a local reversal, so am I subjected to confirmation bias here? For the ones who are new, this FOMC analysis has nothing to do with the news, nor the results of the FOMC, nor with even a single word that J Powell speaks during that meeting. This analysis is purely based on the timing of FOMC meetings, where before every FOMC meeting, the market tends to reverse. And given that the current trend on the intramonth is clearly up (we have been going up for 20 days straight), that reversal could mean price going back down for a month or so, with a top at the start of May. That is what the FOMC time-based analysis would imply, with indeed a top occurring before the meeting, which indeed is fully unrelated to news, and only regarding time, price and sentiment, as we always do. So why did I take a big long if this could occur? And the answer is simple, the long I took is based on a quarterly move, which happens more or less once every quarter. Those moves are powerful, have different mechanics and are the only moves that drive price more strongly than the FOMC intramonth moves. The astute student has figured out that the big long position I took is a positional long, which means, indeed a trade that lasts in the range of a full quarter. And the FOMC reversals are only intramonth moves. The higher the timeframe, the more powerful the analysis, so this positional long is stronger than the FOMC reversal back down. And regarding the mechanics of the quarterly move, the astute student has also found out that the fact that this is a positional long also means, that the whales regard this move as spot driven, and so the markets push up will be spot driven, against all the regular traders who forget to look at this type of spot buys versus short delta. And we are indeed seeing stubborn spot driven moves, with sudden change in high spot premium, stubborn shorts, negative funding despite price being high, and price only pulling back locally on the initial visit of the high resistance zone (95k). Typically, a local pullback, if it comes, is to let shorts (or hedges by scared participants) reload and intensify and give a stronger push afterwards with high volume candles. That is how $BTC breakouts happen, that is how they always have happened, and so far, that is how it's happening again as we speak. And we have classified this type of quarterly move before many times (each time in in 2024, and aside from missing one and being late, each time in 2023) before. Indicated on the chart with a purple canvas of where we called the quarterly move before, we can see how there is typically one FOMC reversal time that has one local pullback (maybe we could expect that now), and one that gets completely ignored (maybe we could expect that next meeting). I say 'maybe', twice, because how it exactly plays out, I don't know. That is not my edge, and that is not what I am looking for with the FOMC analysis (I use it to look for reversal, not for non-reversals), and it doesn't matter either. Whether it turns into two shallow pullbacks, or two ignored entries, in both cases, the quarterly move wins. What matters is that this quarterly move is more powerful than the FOMC intramonth, and that is why I am not putting much weight on this analysis for the next two data points, unless the spot/perps behavior changes. Hope that clears it up. Conclusion; TLDR We are long, and we are long big. This long is based on a quarterly move expected in conjunction with our bull market masterplan, of calling the bottom for the sixth time now at 75k, and now, naturally, the breakout is next. The FOMC analysis goes against our long, but because the quarterly move is far stronger for the reasons mentioned, and because the FOMC meeting technically also remains valid (and low timeframe-shortable) with a potential shallow pullback, the long is not in danger and likely plays out as we have seen during October 2023 and October 2024 which is what I expect. And so here I've shown how to handle and reason when your own analysis seemingly speaks against each other. I will never create the type of posts sequences where both analysis speak against each other and quote which ever once plays out. There is too much of that already on this platform. Instead, I use logic to take a side, put conviction in all the ideas I take, and I take the trades, with conviction, whether right or wrong. That to me is the only way to consistently make money and trade well, and not poorly, and will remain the way IMO whether this trade plays out or not. Enjoy.

When we took our long awaited long at our long awaited level 66k, it was very quiet. Now after we're up a meaningful 17% from that, and it is still very quiet
Astronomer@astronomer_zero

$BTC I took a long awaited long at our long awaited level Alright, as promised and a s long awaited for, the low planted in the 65k area has been taken out finally. I said that I both expected the level, and I also see it as a juicy long opportunity. The reasons are simple. It's the low we wanted to see, the midrange, the golden zone of the entire high to low of this range, and my own POI as well as macro bias. You know me, I live up to my promises, and when it comes to levels, there's no exception Took a long here on this beautiful Saturday morning. Yes, it is early, we're longing a massive trend down. And yes, the bears are screaming loud how they all "called" that very trend. But guess what, they don't have any trade, PnL or record to show for, because most don't even trade their calls, or take action. I don't know what that tells you about conviction and trust in their own analysis, but in my experience, it's useful. So in my world, we make calls, but we make them for one reason and one reason only. To do something about it, to take action, because only action makes money. Some disclaimers, yes, it is a late long off the long and I was hesitant to trigger at first, because I would want to see one sweep lower, and CME also closed so CME close is below our entry. So going in half size for starts to add some flexibility. I top off that decision with the risk, of making new lows during the weekend, which means in this case, they have to get taken out and will take us an exit. But for now, they have been defending and I believe that remains based on our overall plan. So my conviction is high, and I believe we see higher prices from here. So that's an opportunity to make money, one I will grab because we have been waiting for it for a long time. Lots of bear posting, engagement farming, lots of macro "I called it" posts. No one really interested in longing. So sentiment wise, also a great time to long. Enjoy and good luck pressing the button alongside myself.

$BTC longs Target of 77.2k is getting close. Reminder to set limits. Alright, price continues to push in our favour getting really close to our target now. I remind you to set limits in case it swiftly rejects. They kept telling me price would keep going down and 77k+ wouldn't come. I re-assure you, it will. No, I wasn't very "right" about step 1, the right entry, but I was "right" about step 2, 3, 4, 5... of the trade. And step 6, the target, I believe I will also be right about. Trading is about not the entry alone, it's about management, and we handled it properly without giving it up, so far. The bears were loud, they all said I would go have to exit the trade sub 70k where I would give up on the bias of the range, etc etc. Instead, POI's respected, trajectory anticipated and target nearly reached now. I'll hopefully see you there, where I'll take out 60% of the trade, booking our second win in a row.

$BTC longs Eventually, we (almost) always get the prize. (I promise 77k+ - target 1 is coming). A beautiful morning dear community, with a clean push up on $BTC. Personally, didn't expect it to happen cleanly off our POI, instead I foresaw a liquidity grab first. But as I always say, actions speak louder than words. All we aim to do here is make money and do it consistently. And we make money when we hit target 1. Well, directionally and momentum wise, we are close. Distance wise, we still have some ways to go. But I keep my promise and tell you 77k+ is coming, even if the ride has been not as comfortable. (Set some limits at my target, I look to take out 60%). We guided you every step along the way so far to execute properly and that's what matters. Next, I look for another green candle above the green POI as well as holding 76k for a solidified run. If failure happens here, we still look for the weekend liq below the line into the red, where I aim to add. I am still not adding anywhere else nor earlier. The plan is treated exactly the same as it has been a few posts ago. Simple, disciplined, logical, and oriented towards making money. No nonsense, engagement farming, or shaming the wrong side of the trade. It's just business.

Usually I ignore these comments. But kindly going to address this. Because this comment perfectly explains why most people don't make money trading. They want to be right, involve ego and make that a focal point. Imagine going to a boxing match, secretly betting player A will win, but telling all your friends player B will win. Player B wins, "you were right". But you didn't make money, you lost money instead. Common in psych, when, if you lose, at least your friends call you a genius. They call it impression management. Let's not go down that route. Let's keep making money. There are enough people who seem right all the time on this platform. We need less of that, and we need more proof of consistently profitable track records.

@astronomer_zero With respect, Astro, you foresaw retest of 76 and bounce but we went down. Now when you foresaw liq grab below 73,5 it got frontran. So why is it difficult to admit a 'miss'? And perhaps i wont get a reply like i almost always don't on my critical, 'questioning' comments ;)

$BTC longs Managing the long. A slight sentiment shift over the weekend. Alright, heading a bit lower here into a slow retail size bleed. On this move, and within the liquidity maps, I have good news, and bad news. The bad news is that institutions are still asleep during the weekend. Usually not a problem as my system still works over weekends. But over Saturday Night, we had somewhat of sentiment shift, where after we posted our long idea and retest to 77.5k target, and went long, many copy it and suddenly expect higher. Those are the same people who were bearish and started bear posting from 70k, 72k and still did it from 76k where they went short massively expecting sub 50k loudly, now abandoned that idea and almost pulled a full 180 expecting my retest target of 77.5k. They could be right and I think they are, but what's important for us is the timing, as always, and use that as a sentiment read (markets are about timing, we are timing the market) My institutional POI's aren't as effective when sentiment shifts occur and when their liquidity rules the board especially when they all abandoned their ideas. It makes me locally a bit bearish, now that our 76k level broke down again. However, it's only weekend sentiment shifts, so naturally, it likely only takes place over the weekend. I fully expect it to be cleared into beginning next week and institutions take over, and that is indeed, the good news. Managing our trade What's important, is how we manage our long trade through this. In this type of situation, two things can be done. First is to just exit now and accept the loss and re-enter begin next week. But personally, I didn't go too big so if you have room to manage it, it makes sense to just hold through the weekend with some further patience, and then once liquidity is cleared, add to the position. If you do that, I want to stress not to ad too early and only ad once. E.g. I wouldn't ad now, and I am not adding now, but only wait for the liquidity to be taken out with some confirmation. Then your avg is a lot lower but more importantly, you are putting in the right practices of entering when most weekend liquidity gives up. That's what institutions do, so that's what we do. Institutions almost always win, and so if we detect their signature and do the same, we almost always win. So, a bit unfortunate event of having our ideas being copied. And N.B, I don't mean that in the way of "Astro went long so the rest went long", no ego is allowed in trading. It's purely the event itself and us recognizing it and acting on it. It's all about expecting it, preparing mentally, and continuing to track them. We want them to give up after the weekend into Monday, Tuesday, because after shorting/being this entire leg up, we want them to continue to expect that, not suddenly go max conviction long. If that happens, I take the loss. All good, we longed this entire leg up and taking one loss is all fair. But for now, I don't think the loss is done yet, it's time to follow this plan, at least, for me personally.

$BTC They keep shorting, I keep longing. For the fourth time this uptrend. Just entered again. The plan is simple. We are dead centre of the uptrend. The uptrend we called for, but most importantly, also took action. We longed once, we longed twice, and longed a third time. The entire time, we had short liquidations outnumbering long liquidations, by at least a factor of four. Unbelievable numbers. But nothing unusual for a bear trend where everyone believes it's a -70% bear market and is stuck on the 2022 fractals. We broke my 76k key level, are now retesting it from above. We are at a local POI, we have spot premiums holding and continue to see shorts outnumber the longs. Also some local POI's and some secrets of my own I don't give away in one post on its own, I can't give everything away that easily. But what I can give away, is my entry. As I always do. Because my trades are real, my wins, my losses, as well as the massive gains we collected this entire range, and especially this uptrend as of late. All for the world to see. Here is another entry I just shared.

$BTC longs And now, we have built 4 runners. My TP revealed Alright, here it is. The result of my public bottom call on Feb the 6th, and not changing my stance even once since. I have repeated my conviction in the bottom at least once every week since, for 9 weeks now. Those are nice works, I'm sure they help many. But to me, they have been important to keep myself consistent at building long runners, as well as encourage you to do so. Repeated months ago last post. By now, we increased exposure even more up to 4 longs. The result? On average, the SL is about 2% wide, so every 2% we have, we make 0.4RR. Or, every 5%, we make 1 RR. Or, if we reach ATH (96% from the average entry), we make 19 RR+. That's exactly where I will TP half of these runners. The other half, I will reveal later. But with this message, I have explained why I build runners, why I have only been building them on the long side, why I hold them, and why being bullish from the start carries a big reward. Not a promise it will all work out. But a plan to get paid bigtime. Ending the thread.

$BTC - why all my longs in this range have been left with 10% runners. Astro, what do you do with the rest of the trade after they hit main targets". (Further explained) Is a question I frequently receive. I answered it a few times but not with much weight or explicit explanation since after hitting main targets, the most important part is done and the rest is easier/follows naturally. But with this post, I'll bring some more clarity and quickly explain why I have not been closing, and I been leaving runners (a hint) on some trades. As the ones who have been paying attention and trading along closely, may have noticed. I won't explain exactly why yet, and I apologize for that. But once all is said and done, it will all make sense. Plus, I want to reward the long term followers and the ones who dig deep through my posts as they likely know why I'm doing this. Don't worry. I explain every single trade that I execute, give my every move in live time. 4 wins in a row deep into the range. The results speak louder than words. I have my targets, and you will know it once achieved, and you know I'm aiming for it, and when it's reached, which is when I close my runners. Until then.. "Don't talk too loudly about your goals until they become reality". Applies here. So for now, indeed three are running so far. Maybe some get stopped in the process, likely most remain. And yes, the most recent long still has 30% on the table, of which 20% will be TP'd at 73k. Leaving behind... ... 10%, once again. Whether you decide to copy this or close earlier, is up to you. And don't worry if you didn't take all of them, you will make money regardless. But I'll start with the first lesson, which is the set-and-forget-nature of runners, to leave it alone, and either hit it big, or take as a tiny (negligible) dint back on the profits. When done correctly, worth the risk and reward. Stick around, and you might learn something unique.

$BTC The long awaited level ➡️ The long awaited reward. Last post about this long, I promise. I don't want to sound repetitive and milk the long(s) we took off our long and far gone planned 65k level. But after all, it's been a big one, a big move, and, a level we had to wait for, for quite a long time (65k). And, it seems as if many have forgotten how this long came about and how long we waited for 65k, as well as how much patience it took especially since I am overall bullish for this range. So just sliding this by, to remind you, how waiting for a long time for a level is worth it. No matter how long it takes. That's not a hindsight lesson. This is just a review of actions we also planned, waited out, and took, all in live time for the world to see. That's invaluable, even if you didn't follow the execution entirely and partly had to watch, whether you made a mistake while waiting for the entry, or holding the entry. Next time, you know what it means when waiting and planning for a trade for a long time, what the power of planning is, and how waiting also makes money, especially on a downside level, inside a bullishly biased range. Because any 1000$ $BTC drops below a target you know is coming (for us, that was 70k+ and higher), means 1000$ less drawdown and $1000 more reward at the same time. Line that up with the deepest I suspected the pullback before this big move up to take place, and it creates the perfect entry. Closing the thread.

$BTC I took a long awaited long at our long awaited level Alright, as promised and a s long awaited for, the low planted in the 65k area has been taken out finally. I said that I both expected the level, and I also see it as a juicy long opportunity. The reasons are simple. It's the low we wanted to see, the midrange, the golden zone of the entire high to low of this range, and my own POI as well as macro bias. You know me, I live up to my promises, and when it comes to levels, there's no exception Took a long here on this beautiful Saturday morning. Yes, it is early, we're longing a massive trend down. And yes, the bears are screaming loud how they all "called" that very trend. But guess what, they don't have any trade, PnL or record to show for, because most don't even trade their calls, or take action. I don't know what that tells you about conviction and trust in their own analysis, but in my experience, it's useful. So in my world, we make calls, but we make them for one reason and one reason only. To do something about it, to take action, because only action makes money. Some disclaimers, yes, it is a late long off the long and I was hesitant to trigger at first, because I would want to see one sweep lower, and CME also closed so CME close is below our entry. So going in half size for starts to add some flexibility. I top off that decision with the risk, of making new lows during the weekend, which means in this case, they have to get taken out and will take us an exit. But for now, they have been defending and I believe that remains based on our overall plan. So my conviction is high, and I believe we see higher prices from here. So that's an opportunity to make money, one I will grab because we have been waiting for it for a long time. Lots of bear posting, engagement farming, lots of macro "I called it" posts. No one really interested in longing. So sentiment wise, also a great time to long. Enjoy and good luck pressing the button alongside myself.

$BTC Only 200$ drawdown, and now 1150$ in profit. That's an excursion RR (MFE/MAE) of 6.68. Yet it took 3 days to hit target. So price wise, that was a smooth trade to hit first target, but time wise, it wasn't as much to hit first target. So even though I reminded you regularly of the 67.7k target, I still congratulate you for holding. This was one of the longer trades we had to hold until target.

$BTC longs TP high, long back low ♻️ Alright, nice rejection off our TP again You already know the drill. Almost every single one of my TP's reject. However, almost always for another internal pullback. I.e., no new lows, 70k is next. So the capital we take out, can be levered into another long. That's the essence of trading. And that's exactly what I did. Long from 66.45k. The very live price as we speak. Still holding the other longs towards 70k, and looking to carry a second long into it, with the aim to secure 2 and 3 wins in a row.

And of course, you want to set your limit orders at 67.7k. I have set mine. I don't advise how much you should scale out and where, I'm taking out 40%. But if you think for yourself, what would you do with this type of move? What are the repurcussions when you take out >60%, or <30%, for example, in case, after hitting target, the trade goes north, and south? What does it do to invalidation flexibility?

$BTC longs Gap filled, local pullback I drew materialized ✅ Just a quick comment here. I don't often elaborate on price action respecting intraday (m30) timeframe, that would take me a lot of time, ruin the cleanliness of my timeline and require 10+ posts per day on just $BTC price action, not worth my time. But the same way my system is respected on the hourly timeframes and daily timeframes, it also is respected on the minute timeframes. It just contains a lot more moves, internal pullbacks, liquidity reads and structure. From last post, drew out how a pullback would happen first, here it is. Simply expecting the local gap to fill. Technically, that's a bearish bias formed on the H2 timeframe, which can be used on the m5 timeframe (H2/12) if that is your interest. Not something I recommend per se. Scalping is a high ratio of fees-to-profit. Also requires active monitoring and high size. But educationally, useful to know your system works if you try something new or are trying to learn how to trade. Zooming out to the H12, do you see the same gap fill we just had on the H2, we are aiming for next regarding 67.7k?

Um sinal muito forte de topo de mercado: frequência de negociações. Em mercados de baixa, as pessoas tendem a negociar menos, buscando o ganho no longo prazo. Já nos mercados de alta, as pessoas tendem a negociar mais, buscando o ganho de curto prazo. Esse fenômeno pode ser visto nas Criptomoedas de 2022 até agora, e pelo pouco que vi, ele também parece se refletir em outros mercados de risco.

$BTC - Trivia A simple trading math question While we wait $BTC to move closer to our target, time to get back to the trivia series. This one will teach you about how money is truly made in trading. Solve the question below and you'll understand exactly why certain strategies are better than others in trading. These are questions AI can't answer because they are heavily intertwined with personal preference and psychological aspects, ever so important in trading (and even in sports betting or card betting - poker) in general. Starting with $10,000, what capital do you end up with if you use optimal (maximum) risk after 100 trades if your strategy: Has 1RR and 70% win rate? Has 2 RR and 50% win rate? Bonus question: which of both strategies has the sharpest edge?

$BTC - Bringing back the series Find the POI Alright, it has been forever since we last posted about this series. While we wait for our short to move in our favor further, here is something to think about. This is part of the series where I form a question to you describing a very important concept, to help you understand my edge slowly but surely, one piece of the puzzle at a time. I get a lot of questions about POI's, how I find my POI's, how to identify them. Etc. etc. The answer is extensive, but the fundamentals are simple. So I'll start explaining by putting your mind to work. That way, you will remember the answer a lot better. So here is the question: On the chart is a downwards price leg. You are looking to continue to trade the trend. And let's assume you have a crystal ball, which tells you that indeed, the low of the range will be visited before the high, i.e. the downtrend continues. But the first caveat is: you only have 1 chance to short and you can only choose 1 POI. And the second caveat is: missing the short also counts as losing (so you can't choose POI 1, just to play it safe, think of it as opportunity cost). In other words, there is only 1 right answer. And so the question goes: "Which POI would you choose to short, and why?" Post your answer below, along with your reasoning. Best two comments will be reposted.

$BTC 74.4k, Out of the short here, just holding longs runners now. 6 win streak just ended Alright, price pushing above 74.4k. Wanted to hold a bit longer, but 74.6k is a key level where I said if we reach it, we likely confirm the daily candle above 73k. And you know what that means, closing above 73k means price goes much higher likely and our breakout idea plays out. So, I personally exited the shorts. On the move at the moment, so I can't see the order flow properly, only minimally, so it's a bit of a blind move. But conviction on shorts is low, you already know I'm bullish high timeframe, so exit needs to be more aggressive and long runners must be held a lot longer from here, taking a small loss, and keeping the pay incoming beyond. That's the difference between being a bull and a bear. If I was a bear I would have a lot more conviction in this short and not have any long runners. Instead, this is a small loss ($600 move against us) and we can start looking for breakout longs as well as hold runners. Bears will be scared to do so. Still sad about the loss though, but not going to hide it, you already know I share all my entries and exits, shared 6 wins in a row, now sharing this loss. 6 win streak ended. Ah well on to the next.
Astronomer@astronomer_zero

$BTC 73.7k, That's range high, shorted here. Alright! We finally approached 73k, and are about to make an attempt to close above. This is the moment we aimed for happening eventually, a clean close above so we can run our two runner longs to very high prices, potentially enter a breakout long, and reel in a big payout, based on our overall bullish bias of this range breaking upwards, yes, against everyone's belief. Most people are stuck in the bear market mentality of wanting sub 50k. But before we start celebrating our glory, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Order flow is bearish, and we are at range high. We also reached above the latest high. This was the only situation I would short per last post. Yes, we're bullish. But no, we have not broken out yet. And since we're at range high (and reached above our latest high), it's naturally a good short. Nothing big, but just to have some conviction. I will be TP'ing this short quite aggressively, because I am overall bullish. Enjoy.

$BTC Account doubled in 1.5 months (5% risk per trade on average) ✅ Here's how I did it (secrets to trading philosophy revealed) Alright, just doubled my account from trading the range so far since start of Feb. And, to many of you, that should be to no surprise, because these trades are all built on the backbone of our macro range masterplan since the very day it started, of calling the bottom in live time (Feb 6), range high, and range low. That range is still holding more than 1 month later. And in alignment, we have simply continued to trade it so far without failure. Many of you have been able to replicate a large part of that success since I share (almost) all of my entries and exits live, telling you exactly when to get in, and when to get out. But regardless, even if you copied all my moves, doesn't necessarily mean you doubled your account. That's exactly why I often get asked how much I exactly make, because there is one parameter I don't often talk about, which is how much I risk per trade in exact sense. And while I don't like to reveal PnL numbers too often to not draw unwanted attention, I can share relative numbers since risk is related to just that, regardless of your size. After all, risk is personal, and should be treated that way. Besides, it's treated as too holy. There is way too much emphasis on having an exact defined risk, and misinterpreted as needing a stoploss in an exact location (market makers love to hunt you), so that you can plan your exact risk and know exactly how fast your account will grow and exactly when you can retire. In reality, trading is quite different, but it's a good kind of different. Because planning retirmenent like that, to any critical mind, is nothing but a pipe dream. So this all leads to revealing a part of my trading philosophy, to help you avoid such traps and continue your journey in the right direction and especially not the wrong direction. Keep in mind, my philosophy is personal, and is often considered an unpopular opinion. It certainly is not for everyone. But if you have been liking my trades, enjoy how they feel and the stress free aspect of it as well as the real (as real as it gets) results they bring, then you're welcome in advance for the sneak peek in my trading philosophy I'm sharing here. #1 Win rate is more important than RR Unpopular opinion number 1 indeed. Because only high RR's look flashy and clean on social media. Only 10 RR+'s seem as if the trader exactly knows what he's doing. And it's very effective for selectively sharing posts too. In reality though, going for 10RR+ trades means no partials at all before hitting 5RR say, which means your trade could run to 6RR, hit all your targets except your most ambitious ones, and still result in a loss. So, even while your edge is working well, you still probably eat many losses before seeing the winning effect of your edge. That gap is frustrating because it means you have to sometimes wait days/weeks (multiple losing trades) before seeing results, which is also detrimental if you want to test a new edge (which may not be an edge in the first place). Instead, partials earlier, reduces your RR, and increases win rate because you already eliminate. If your 6RR or 7RR still hits, then you still take home 3RR or so net, instead of -1RR. This allows for steadier growth, allows you to see pretty quickly if you are doing a good job, the very next 1 or two trades, allows you to steer and adjust quickly, and by principle of risk optimisation, also allows you to risk more, and so your account ends up growing faster. It also allows you to redeploy partials if price retraces locally, and it still keeps you winning even if your final target isn't hit. You have all seen how I pinpoint entries quite exact, but then sometimes we don't get final target, or get front run, but still walk home with the win. Finally, it also allows you to keep runners which increase drastically on big trending moves. Since, if you go for a 10RR+ trade, I assure you once you hit 10RR without having taken much partial, you are very tempted to close all (I mean congrats, you just hit a homerun). But if price runs further, you feel unexposed and so you feel the strongest emotion in trading: FOMO whereas if you keep runners, you still end up with a 50RR plus runner sometimes, getting an average return of 10RR anyways, whilst keeping your high win rate, the irony. Instead leaving runners always keeps you exposed, especially when executed well in alignment with your high timeframe idea. There are some more reasons, but let's keep this post not too lengthy and move on to the second unpopular opinion: #2 Fixed position sizing - variable risk, is better than fixed risk - variable position sizing. Another very unpopular opinion. "No defined risk, no trade", "no SL, no trade", "no invalidation, no trade". The single biggest misunderstanding by far, is that a stop loss is the same as an invalidation. It's not. So instead of telling your broker (crypto exchange) exactly where you force yourself to sell, either directly (with a stoploss order), or, indirectly. Indirectly as in: with a higher position size i.e. telling your broker your stoploss/liquidation is closer, or vice versa, lower position size, telling your broker your stoploss is further away, and yes, the AI is very good at finding your forced selling point nowadays. Instead, using a fixed position size (say always 2x of your account), leaves the broker completely in the unknown. On top, it also allows you to locally monitor on set intervals whether to get in or to get out. Sometimes, you get out beyond analytical invalidation, sometimes, before your analytical invalidation, on average usually around it. And because you use fixed position size, your invalidation width determines risk. Keep that consistent, and so will your risk be approximately. My results So I just laid out my philosophy. You know me, I don't leave it at that, we actually have been calling all these moves step by step, and they have led to these results. Closing 6 wins in a row, but in the graph, a steady increase due to partials and all other elements of my exact philosophy, mostly reaching my final target (about 6-8 RR away from entry/inval), with partials, ending mostly around 2-3RR on average after fees per trade. And with an SL width mostly 1-3.5% wide, and a fixed position size of 2x or 3x leverage (you already know), that results in a variable risk per trade ranging 3 - 8% approx. On average around 5% risk per trade give or take, and with 6 trades closed, 0 losses, 6 wins, that ends up in 1.12^6 = 1.97 x or about a double on the account. Say you have not been risking my amount and say go for 1x on account, then average risk using my method is less, say 2.5%, then you might have ended up with: 1.06^6 = 40% gain in 1.5 months, very good indeed. Even if you missed a trade entirely: 1.05^6 = 34%, still amongst the top 100 traders in the robins cup. Summary So my philosophy, assuming accurate analysis allows you to: ➡️Have way more winners ➡️Have way less losers ➡️Risk more ➡️Allow runners ➡️Stress out less for being front run on your target and still losing ➡️Stress out less about getting close to target 5 times before hitting it on the 6th ➡️Stress out less about micromanaging your trade because the market is volatile ➡️Etc, etc etc. There of course is more to it, but without a doubt, here is a big (the biggest) step on the path towards... the dream of profitable and stress free trading. Enjoy.

$BTC shorts 70.3k reached ✅. That's key target. We just hit six wins in a row! 💰 Alright, the plan is ancient, but the move down is young. We shorted 73.4k and now rolled down $3100 down the slide so far, bringing price right to our key level of 70k and pushing the trade to 2.4 RR. You know the drill, I said, sub 50k is not coming, but it doesn't mean good shorts can't emerge. They can, exactly like this one. With an entry above 73k, our key level of 70k is perfect for a first TP, locking in the sixth win in a row, officially. From here, letting the trade run closer to the mid range. That's an ambitious goal and does require a break back inside. So do take partials and lock in the win here, as a reaction back up and a day of time is possible. Thanks for playing everyone. It's been a pleasure.

@astronomer_zero Astro, very well played! As always printing with you! Should we be prepared to short at 73k?

$BTC longs 67k reached, and also 69k. Five wins in a row. 💰 Alright, 67k reached, and we're already getting close to our final target (aside runners) of 73k. Seeing the timeline acting as if they called this move. It's funny to see, because in my world, nothing counts unless action is taken because calling a move is easy without acting (as you can call 10 different directions and say you called it). Hence, executing is a completely different game (you can only stand behind 1 direction) I could write books of why so many called sub 50k, even sub 60k while we hit 62k, and we didn't hit either. It's a sentiment read, telling us people are bearish. Instead market went up. And we executed on it, all in live time. There is no if or but about it. Entry taken, move performed, and now, we get to slowly cash in, can take second TP on the long entry I posted at 62.9k. And I took first TP on my long from 63.8k, right here at 69k. Reversal call successful ✅ No 60k ❌, instead 69k. ✅ Result: five wins in a row locked. Enjoy.

$BTC longs (V.II) 66.2k reached ✅, fifth win in a row loading (official @ 67k) Alright! Quick post here with a nice push on $BTC, 3k off entry now. Quite exactly what we want to see. Saw a lot of doubt on the timeline of $BTC actually reversing when I was bullposting sub 63k. But that's the way bitcoin operates. And as fomo slowly kicks in now, we slowly start to TP into that liquidity, collecting USD throughout the range, again and again and again. Before I go into how I would manage this trade further now that it's printing nicely, the general message of "manage the trade freely", holds here since I'm still semi-offline. The ones who held the entry at 62.9k I shared Yesterday, 66.2k is a great spot to TP right here, to lock in the win. For the ones who took the late long at 63.9k, I am still waiting for 67k to make the fifth win in a row official. That's all from my side, enjoy the gains, congrats once again for putting in the trust. We have been here publicly for over 2 years to do it over and over and over without stopping, even during busy times for me personally. Take care.
