Many would have sought the "winning operation" to aggressively increase the balance. Except for the last trade, which I let run after closing 50% of the operation in profit, I decided to treat those USD $5 as if they were USD $5k.
My goal is not the immediate PnL, but to audit my own discipline. The results of this weekend are not a matter of luck; they are the product of applying what I have learned in my 25 years in finance: when the chart speaks to you, your only job is to control the "mouse" and your emotions.
What have I learned after 30 days back in the editorial and trading arena?
The Financial "Muscle Memory": Researching, auditing, and executing requires a muscle that atrophies if not trained. Resuming this habit has been my best investment.
Control vs. Euphoria: The hardest part was not making the first USD $7.89 in a bullish trade, but "hiding the mouse" to avoid closing too early or entering due to FOMO. Trading is 90% emotional management and 10% analysis.
The real asset is the system: I managed to double the initial USD $5 in just two days. I didn't seek to do it; I simply read the market structure (#iFVG , #HTF , #bearish /#bullish ) and let the price develop.
The 1st goal has been achieved very quickly with the last trade: doubling the $5.
I confess that I didn't expect to do it in 2 days, it wasn't the intention nor do I seek to do it that way, it's just that the price "spoke". When it's like this, and if you know how to hide the mouse to avoid clicking the close position button, the price rewards you.
I have $4.89 left from "little lies" to trade. That said, Binance promises that what you do from there is yours, so here we go...
Between Friday the 27th and yesterday Saturday the 28th, hunting for opportunities...
I try to make sure that when I lose, it's a little, managing risk and nerves. And when I win, to control the euphoria and calm down, not to let the chart dominate me (SL and TP already defined).
DISCLAIMER: If you already have knowledge about an SL and a TP, congratulations! You are already a knowledgeable trader, and I invite you to share ideas. If not, don't be afraid. You can ask me, as I went through that.
That said, in the following posts I will be sharing the operations I did. In the end, the learning.
A few days ago, on March 26, I received a coupon of USD $5 from Binance for trading futures.
Come on, it's the kind of usual promotions they do to attract more traders to the ecosystem.
To activate the coupon, a window opens with the assigned asset and you must predict what the asset will do next, whether it will go up or down. Here, the outcome doesn't matter. You just want that, to activate it.
Then, I closed the trade as soon as it started to develop, "whether it turned out to be a toad or a frog".
BTC TECHNICAL AUDIT: USD $65K SUPPORT AND THE 155K BTC ACCUMULATION WAVE
Bitcoin has retraced to USD $65,530, putting it on track for a sixth consecutive monthly decline. While mainstream headlines scream "recession risk" due to USD $100+ oil and geopolitical stress, the data reveals a different structural reality.
The Financial Audit:
Institutional Conviction: Long-term holders added 155,450 BTC in just 30 days. This isn't retail; this is aggressive absorption.
Exchange Outflows: Net withdrawals from major exchanges (Binance, Bitfinex, OKX) reached 16-month highs. The liquid supply is being pulled off the market, creating a structural supply squeeze.
Derivative Risk: After USD $210 million in long liquidations, the market is currently priced for caution. Options data shows a 53% probability that BTC stays below USD $66,000 until April 24.
Technical Levels: The USD $65,000 - $66,000 zone is now the critical "make or break" support. Failing here could expose the USD $60,000 floor.
Strategic Conclusion:
Wall Street sees volatility; sophisticated capital sees an entry. With the Fed trapped by sticky inflation and oil shocks, the market is rotating into Bitcoin to de-risk from the fiat-debt system. Don't look at the short-term chart—audit where the supply is going.
📉 Why is Bitcoin suffering while the world reorders?
The tense calm in the Middle East following the 10-day pause announced by Trump has not brought peace to the markets, but rather more uncertainty. Here’s a summary of what is moving the price of BTC and why you should look beyond the chart:
Macro rules: The 10-year Treasury yield hits 4.42%.
What does this mean for you?
Less liquidity. When bonds pay well, capital flees from risk assets like Bitcoin and tech stocks. That’s why we see BTC consolidating near $69k with difficulty breaking upwards.
The geopolitical shift (The key point):
While the market watches the price, China plays the long game:
1️⃣ Accelerated de-dollarization: Iran is already demanding payments in Yuan for oil in the Strait of Hormuz. The petrodollar is losing ground to the Yuan.
2️⃣ The minerals trap: The replenishment of U.S. arsenals depends on rare earths controlled by Beijing. China has total control over the supply chain.
⚠️ What to expect?
The correlation between Bitcoin and risk assets remains high. As long as interest rates stay high (or rise) and geopolitics remain tense, volatility will be our best friend (or worst enemy).
🚀 My view: Bitcoin remains the ultimate hedge against monetary degradation, but in the short term, liquidity dictates the rules. $$$ Don’t ignore the flow of traditional markets if you want to understand the next move of your favorite altcoin.
Do you think Bitcoin will manage to decouple from these macroeconomic factors soon, or will we remain tied to the FED's policy? 👇
🚨 COINBASE VS. CLARITY ACT: THE USD $1.35 BILLION STABLECOIN YIELD WAR
Coinbase is in a high-stakes standoff against the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The core conflict? Proposed provisions to ban third-party yield payments on stablecoins—a revenue engine that generated USD $1,350 million for Coinbase in 2025 alone.
The Institutional Audit:
Revenue Compression: Eliminating stablecoin yield is an existential threat to Coinbase's diversification away from trading fees. The community backlash is intense, with boycott calls growing as users view this as a surrender to legacy banking interests.
The "On-Chain" Mortgage: Despite the regulatory heat, Coinbase launched a compliant mortgage product with Better and Fannie Mae. It allows users to leverage $BTC and $USDC as down payment collateral, avoiding taxable disposal events.
The Strategic Conflict: We are witnessing a clear pivot: while fighting regulators on yield, Coinbase is simultaneously integrating with state-sanctioned entities (Fannie Mae).
The question remains: is this the path to adoption, or the path to institutional capture?
"🚨 THE INSTITUTIONAL AUDIT: TETHER, MICROSTRATEGY, AND THE $SIREN COLLAPSE
The market is currently applying an "institutional quality filter." Here is the audit of today's moves and how you can capitalize on the ecosystem's infrastructure:
1. Tether’s "Big Four" Audit:
Tether ($USDT) has hired a "Big Four" firm for a full financial audit. With a market cap of USD $184,000 million, this is the ultimate move to silence solvency critics and stabilize the backbone of Web3 liquidity.
2. Strategy Inc.'s USD $44.1B BTC Goal:
Michael Saylor’s Strategy continues its accumulation plan, raising funds to target a 1,000,000 BTC treasury. With 762,099 BTC already held, they are absorbing supply at a rate retail still underestimates.
3. The SIREN "Rug Pull" Warning:
SIREN plummeted 70% after analysts revealed 88% of its supply was controlled by a single entity. It’s a brutal reminder: if you can't verify supply distribution, it’s not an investment—it’s a casino.
4. Mastercard’s Infrastructure Play:
Mastercard is acquiring BVNK for USD $1,800 million to dominate stablecoin settlement rails. They aren't issuing tokens; they are charging for the infrastructure.
Strategic Opportunity:
As these institutions build the rails, you can participate in the ecosystem's growth.
Binance Square is currently running campaigns with USD $110,000 in total prize pools for creators and traders.
Also, if you are auditing the market, make sure you are also capturing the rewards for your participation. Check the "Campaigns" section in your dashboard to audit the active tasks and optimize your yield while the market consolidates.
