ICYMI: The Trade Travel Chill Weekly Recap

Well, the MM really put the bored in boardroom this week, hey? Price is squeezed so tightly into that retail triangle that it’s like being stuck in the middle seat of an economy flight, wedged between an armrest thief and a man-spreader (IYKYK). With major news events looming over the next few days, this could be the calm before the storm.

So, sit back, zoom out, and catch up on everything that happened this week at TTC.

💸 TRADE

Look at what MM has been doing for the last 2 weeks. This is HIGH manipulation, and MM only does this before a very big move.

👩‍✈️ From the Flight Deck

Captain’s Log ✍

  • It may feel like a lifetime ago, but last Sunday, Annii said Bitcoin may attempt some upside, but that it could be a trap for bullish traders followed by a sharp reversal. Well, MM didn’t even bother to spike up as part of false move week beginning, they just headed straight for Annii’s third level drop target. 😅
  • In her latest video, Annii promises that Something (ACTUALLY) Big for Bitcoin Is About to Happen! She explains why we’ve been ranging to the point of extreme boredom and what is likely to happen next. LET’S GO!!! (pls🙏)
  • When Annii drops private videos, you know she’s coming in hot with no-BS and the tough love we all need sometimes. If you haven’t watched them yet, you might be getting lost in the lower timeframe noise instead of focusing on the set-up for the imminent breakout, so …
    1. Watch the first video here …
    2. Then read her follow-up post here …
    3. And then watch the (renamed) Annii’s Daily Rant here! 😅
  • Basically, don’t take your eyes off Annii’s channel 👀 until this breakout finally happens.

 

The problem with this formation is that eventually when it does break out, it’s probably just going to go for it. I’m going to show you how you can actually trade this range … and once it’s done with this triangle the target is freaking fantastic, either way.

⚡ Inflight News

  • We’re at a critical market moment, with major events unfolding over the next few days, including Fed Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium in just a matter of hours! Lucky for us, our macro whiz Jarrid is here to help us make sense of it.
  • Keep one eye on the charts and one eye on the macro-economic-chat as we watch the market’s response to Powell’s speech. 🍿👀
  • And then catch up on Jarrid’s latest hangout, where he breaks down how banks operate, the drama of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, and weighs in on the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September.

 

Powell’s Jackson Hole speech remains front and center in the minds of traders. Be prepared to move quickly should he throw cold water on the market.

SilverWolf Alpha 🐺

SilverWolf added to the macro discussion this week with a blog on Gold Prices Hitting Record Highs. If investors are flocking to gold as a safe haven in a slowing global economy, will Bitcoin finally gain legitimacy as ‘digital gold’, or will it retain its bad boy reputation as a volatile, risky asset? 🤔

Mr Wolf also served up all this tasty altcoin alpha this week!

  • Digital Cash ($DASH), available on the website.
  • Maker (MKR)
  • Toncoin ($TON)
  • BNB ($BNB)
  • Chainlink ($LINK)
  • ANyONe Protocol ($Anyone)

 

Capital Club members can check it all out in the silverwolfbtc-updates channel in Discord.

If you understand the difference between gambling and trading, there’s no losing in trading. In trading, you either earn or you learn.

✈️ Cabin Crew Reports

Method Deep Dives 🤿

  • Cajun gave a detailed lesson on identifying , validating and counting levels across time frames. Watch it here.
  • We were so lucky to have guest host Aleisha for the second hangout this week while Cody took a well-earned break! It was a wide-ranging AMA covering hedging, trading the current triangle “situation”, liquidity, risk management, and more. Catch up here.

 

I don’t mind missing the US session because I’m not a high-risk person and it’s the most volatile session. I’m quite happy to stick to the more relaxed stuff because that’s what suits me. It took me a long time to figure that out. Focus on one session if possible. I think the best session to learn as a new trader to this method is the Asia to UK changeover, that’s my advice.

— Aleisha

Did you catch Cajun’s reply to Davo about what it means to say the “MM is accumulating contracts”? His response was so detailed, I’m pretty sure he got carpal tunnel typing it 😬 But even after all that, it felt like we’d barely scratched the surface.

Anyway, it got me thinking… our Discord chats and hangouts are goldmines, but some of the finer details of the TBD system and those trickier concepts can be tough to fully grasp in a group setting. Sometimes personalised guidance can make all the difference. If you’ve been feeling like you’re not making progress or wondering how others are speeding up their learning curve, consider getting a little extra help from the Cabin Crew.

I’ve been having a private session a week (sometimes two) with Cajun to go over everything. I’ve not traded before, and before signing up to TTC I did not know what a candle was and had never been on trading view. I can’t tell you how my learning has been accelerated with private coaching. Without a doubt, I am much further ahead than I would be if I had tried to learn everything on my own. I know that I learn things in an unusual way, so having someone guide me though things in a custom manner is so helpful.

A great week of trades by Nixar, and some important lessons learned.

TRAVEL

Don’t let trading become the routine you are trying to get away from. Let it become the skill that allows you to live an entirely free life, wherever you find yourself in the world.

Annii’s latest vlog dropped this week, all about her time at the Olympics in Paris, and as well as all the spectacle and city sights, it also features exclusive behind-the-scenes moments with the CEO of Bitget and a bunch of other crypto titans!

❓ Remember when Annii talked about how she used to aspire to be a travel blogger, but realised she could use her trading skills to fund her love for travel instead? Well this video gives us a glimpse of what the travel influencer version of Annii might be like… and it’s authentic, inspiring, and genuinely heartfelt video. Thanks Bitget for giving her this experience to inspire and share with the community!

Annii is in Bali for Coinfest Asia 2024, Asia’s largest web3 festival, and if her latest blog Spilling the Tea on Limiting Beliefs is anything to go by, it sounds like she may not be leaving!

So Annii… wen TTC-fest Bali?

Community Travel Pics 📸

Went to Barcelona in June to fulfill my girl’s biggest dream. To see FC Barcelona Women’s team, and the Norwegian player Caroline Graham Hansen play. ⚽You don’t have to go far to have a journey, so we have spent a lot of time at our cabin, close to nature. 🍃 At the end of the summer we had nice travel to Oslo, and to a huge football tournament (Norway Cup). So proud of my daughter’s travel and growth this year!
