$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? Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC longs My next target is 67.7k Had this question commonly occur. "Where do we make money Astro?" The first place where I aim to reduce position size of this long is 67.7k give or take. That's the typical width of first trim of almost every trade we take. Hope that answers your question(s). — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2039797279473926495#m

$BTC longs 67k now. ✅We're up and running Alright! Nice reaction so far off our long entry we took Yesterday in live time @ 66.45k That's 2 longs we are running now. Indeed, increasing the conviction, increasing my statement, and simply in alignment with our plan and goal, of running a trade into 70k to make money. Peak times, for me to go long.e in our golden zone, coming off the htf silver pocket, a clean 5D OHLC setup and bound to the 70k magnet, and, to top it off, most of twitter (X) was peak posting how they were "still short" etc, loud and proud Yesterday, exactly into the low. For me, lows are not to farm bearish engagement. They are to take longs. And so, it was indeed a time we took more, longs. Peak times, in fact, to go long. Hope to set long risk free soon, it would require a green Friday. But we had a green Monday, and Friday often mirrors Monday in terms of colour during tail end FOMC reversal weeks. Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC longs Next target hit 💰Now patiently waiting for 70k+ Alright! Our next target we mapped out a few days ago is now hit. Indeed, as mentioned last post the bears had their round of engagement farming once (before Monday opens). Where they indeed came out with their macro thesis and how "Monday will close red" or "lead to new lows" or "how it's a good time to short". And twice, after Monday closed that also a green Monday would still lead to new lows anyways. All posted into the lows each time. Works well for engagement farming because people like to follow bearish posts when prices are low. But in terms of making money, they are all left in the dust now and compromised in their shorts. They won't tell you they're short now though because that would ruin their imagine. But anyone who watched order flow, can easily see many of them were short (hint - check the mid to low size section of aggressive short CVD on Monday open and after Monday closed). All power to engagement farmers by the way. I have nothing against it. But it's my job to keep my audience on the right side of the trade, not on the right side of the engagement, so we keep tracking the dynamics and use it as sentiment. I thank you for participating in this long. And if you remember, we are not calling it a win yet. If we hit 70k+ area, our final target before runners, then this is our second win in a row once again, and then we also have runners left for a potential juicy breakout. Enjoy. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2039086365342933377#m

$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.

Ideal investing = paced entering, conservative exiting. Ideal trading is paced entering, more aggressive exiting. And my answers on... "Should I invest in broader markets outside of crypto or do I recommend it?" I personally am heavy crypto because it's my trading vehicle. The easiest to trade, watch sentiment and has the cleanest pa on the timeframe I am interested in (H2 - H6, sometimes D-3D). That spills over into investments since trading a market requires tuning on all timeframes to some degree. But I think it's still useful to invest outside of your trading vehicle. Even if it's just a small percentage (or a very seriously taken paper account). It gives extra dimension in execution (primary benefit) as well as market view (secondary benefit). Because what investing teaches you is patience, but the right amount of patience. Just DCA'ing will not serve you very well. But waiting for decades for the right opportunity will also not serve you well. Maybe one sweet spot is how your strategy should give you a good buying opportunity twice or three times per decade to go in hard with the cash you saved and accumulated with trading, business or day job. So what this teaches you is very paced entering and very conservative exiting. Apply that with one nuance to trading and you just found the link between the two, cross training them. The nuance: trading is very paced entering (patient, but not excessively patient), but your goal is not to hold, but to make gains, so you exit aggressively, not conservatively like in investing. Practicing broader markets helps you to train this perspective. Good investors are good traders and good traders are good investors.

$BTC longs I don't often talk about this, but something I often do before, during and after entering a trade, is swapping from our execution timeframe (H2-H6) to our bias timeframe (D-3D). In the execution timeframe, you need many candles in favour for the trade to work which can seem daunting. It freezes you to enter (and, as you know, a side-lined trader is a trader prone to fomo later). Whilst all you are trying to do is catch one big candle in your favour on the bias timeframe, that's far less intimidating. It also allows to be less critical of how good an entry should be. Our entry sub 66k, seemed mediocre, but on the bias timeframe, it "looks good." So while you all know me as a mechanical and non-intuition type of trader (intuition is tainted with confirmation bias), swapping timeframes is the one final-touch-routine I implement before entering every trade to envision the move before it happens and as it happens. With our current running trade, we have a clear view of the candle forming, hopefully and expected to head towards 70k+, locking in our second win in a row. 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. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2037875366782800195#m

$BTC The range is 8 weeks old now. We are getting ath calls and sub 50k calls left right and centre. It's good entertainment and hopium. But to make money, we must trade what's in front of us. That is why we have been trading the range. Have you? Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC 63k, midpoint htf POI and silver pocket hit. Do we get our bounce and form a range? I don't believe in hope though but I do believe in my system and that I always will even if emotions run high at the moment everywhere. So this post is not to inject hope, this is just to inform you that we are in the middle of our purple htf zone now, and the high timeframe silver pocket (the same that rejected and lead to the all time high with good high timeframe precision) at 122k (see quoted post). We "should" receive a significant bounce finally. Again for spot buys, I am waiting it out first and strategizing on that later. But a range is good for us, as it allows us to finally trade off it, hence why we plan for it. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2019517729221537963#m

Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC longs Monday closed green ✅, and next target almost hit Alright! Nice Monday we had, clean and green close. Had lots of bears saying Monday would be bearish, close red or cause new lows etc etc. Meanwhile, we're back at range high and our longs keep printing. It's always easy to farm bearish engagement when price is low. It gets followers and views and attention which generates good ad revenue, all power to them. But to make money trading (the harder, but more far lucrative gig), often, the opposite stance of the sentiment is required. And that's no different with this trade. Next target almost hit, where I'll trim another 15% of the trade as explained last post. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2038802950626423188#m

Being a good trader on X is not about sharing your best trade or call and talking about it over and over to make it look like you are accurate. Being a good influencer on twitter is about sharing every call and trade. Only that accurately reflects your record.

Next target almost hit, where I'll trim another 15% of the trade as explained last post. Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC longs Now risk free, my next targets and when I call it a win. We built a long during the range formed Friday-Sunday and it indeed ended in a sweep of the low with a nice follow-up printing us green. I expressed my mid-tier conviction, not something you are used to from my end since usually I am often (almost always) maxed out on conviction with every trade I take. You noticed through my actions with a more aggressive trim, only 1100 points above the averaged entry, keeping in mind we had to pull one TP and re-entry, so fees involved, closer to 1000 points net benefit. I understand it's puzzling given how I expressed my bullishness, and how 65k is worth waiting for and a good long opportunity. But I just can't be all too bullish risking lots of capital with one eye closed when there is a magnet still open below coherent to my edge and we see sub optimal order flow in proximity at the same time. Regardless, here we are and guess what, we're still in the long with 40% left running, and I still aim to turn it into a win. When is it a win ? That's another key question. Not just for the sake of social media but for my own count and journaling as when I call it "a good trade". It's going to be different now because generally, I take my risk free trim between 1.4 RR and 2.3 RR with a size of 40% to 30% respectively without moving SL, the OG followers know the formula. The second TP usually sits around 2.5 RR - 4 RR, totalling 1.4 RR - 1.8 RR net give or take on initial risk regardless of what happens with the runners/remainders so yes, the second TP almost always converts the trade in a win without a doubt (considering higher targets might still hit too). This time though I trimmed 60% at 1RR to make it just over risk free. And my next target lies around 68.7k which is around 3.2RR and where I aim to trim another 15%. So 60%*1RR + 0.15 * 3.2 RR = 0.84 RR, and if the remainder hits sl, then subtract 25%* -1RR = - 0.25RR, or ending up with 0.59 RR. Meh, not even a > 1RR trade, in my book only a small win. My next target after lies in the 70k+ area, which is up 5.4RR. Taking another 15% off there (leave 10% runners), ads another 0.8 RR which ends the trade on 1.64 RR net. That's a clean W so at that point, I call it a win. So, while my conviction is lower, if we still hit my targets, it's still a clean and good W to be added to the streak. Other than that, I plan to leave 10% runners because I am bullish and expect a breakout. But I don't rule out 61/62k unless that happens. That explains my plan, conviction and actions. Bullish, but cautiously and not the typical Astro bullish way. We blame the 61/62k magnet and the tail end of the FOMC reversal. Regardless, we're in a long and making money and ultimately, we break out upside, I promise. So I'm not complaining. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2038528804499648580#m

Trade risk free now. I have good news and bad news. Alright, nice push up again after adding at 65.2k. Some missed it and I apologize for the late posts. Sometimes hard to write a quick post against the fast moves of price, especially new people who are not used to my style of institutional trading. Don't worry is all I say if you miss it. Most of you caught the first entry at 66k. And given the current environment, I think what's key at the moment is to still stay at the cautious side and be rather aggressive with the first trim to set it risk free. I was really confident at 72+ that we would see 65k and it acting as a good long level. So we waited, we hit it and the reaction so far off our 65k level is good so we get to manage our trade into that and lower the risk already significantly. That is the good news. There unfortunately also is bad news. Which is that 61k is still not fully out of the question either. I didn't think it was going to happen because we saw big whale bids supporting price even before we reached it (since 72k), and had CVD slowly slow down on the large size side of things truly confirming my 65k as a next bottom was correct. The ones who paid attention, as we saw, you could see spot premiums spike up hard which is good for our long. But we also see right now how they flatten out and turn into a discount (spot prices back below perps prices), indicative of bad footprints. So I know I haven't talked about it much yet, but the 61/62k zone is also still a magnet and it's my job to tell you now, not in hindsight when price is already close or broke down. Not the greatest news, but we have been waiting all the way from 72k to get long again finally now that we hit 65k and I did present you the FOMC reversal. So I simply continue to request your patience, act aggressively on the take profits. In case that if our 65k long doesn't work out, to not lose money and go in blank at 61/62k if it's given because that IMO is the golden opportunity for a big move. That's all of the bad news. Keep in mind I am still holding my trade. It's trimmed to just under half again here, with my hard SL at 64.6k for the remainder. I absolutely expect and I am ready for upper targets of low 70's and even a breakout of the range to get paid on our runners and yes, my high timeframe thoughts are also still fully bullish. But I am heading into it cautiously still until orders clear up, and the market is less eager to push for a close retest of the wick. So far, yes caught almost every bounce with some solid wins in between, and yes, I wish I also didn't fumble my short at 73k at the same time. But I believe the downside swings are nearly over. 62k zone was where I were to target my short if I didn't fumble it because I believe the party for the bears is over soon. They likely won't get a range breakdown, just some internal swings most bears didn't catch anyway by the looks of the orders, they were just engagement farming. And that's telling of the sentiment by the way. Bearish across the board especially approaching the lows. Final notes, retesting the wick is not bad. It still counts as holding the green silver pocket zone. We have to remember that the zone is a high timeframe "macro" zone and we are just trying to time a proper low timeframe entry. So, in short, we are building a long off 65k, but cautiously trimming it aggressively, just in case 61/62k comes. Our levels are working, but no need to get arrogant and just blindly long and hold as if it's going up from here, not in the current environment, we are still transitionary and coming out of the FOMC reversal. But once 61/62k is reached, I do believe that transition is done. So plan is clear, ready for upside, but not as aggressively as from 61/62k, which also aligns with the runners we still have open from those levels. Apologize for the less one-sided conviction in this post. But we are in that type of environment currently. You all know I am bullish high timeframe. That should be clear, we are hunting longs here in the end and we were only hunting shorts at 72/73k. Bears would go for shorts only here too. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2038419335392460833#m

Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC longs Our take profit point rejected ✅, and limit orders hit as well ✅ Entry improved. Alright! Nice move down from point of rejection and the point we took profits. Indeed, 67.2k acting as the level of resistance. At the same time, we also said to set to add that portion we took out as profits, back in at 66.2k so we kept limit orders there as the weekend closes. Well, that is exactly what happened. We rejected 67.2k, and hit 66.2k. Had some questions and doubt of "why I TP so early, why TP at 67k, that's just too soon the market barely moved". Aside from my own explanation back then of how a move of 1100 dollars is a lot during the weekend, I think the market answered that for me now too, thank you very much. I also had some questions about how my chart was two hours old. That's an error on my side as I had a gap of no internet for a moment and for some reason it seemed price didn't move after typing the post further but it did, I apologize. Regardless, price retested my TP point multiple times before hitting our limit order so you had multiple chances to copy me. Shouldn't happen again, but for future reference, that is typically the case btw because the levels I trade are institutional and over 90% of the time, they retest since institutions need time to load up, true even in the weekends. So all in all, quite happy with the long. Entered at a good time, TP'd at a good time, and added it back in at a good time. That's my job for the weekend done, and that sets us up for a good start of the week if this were to move up, as Sunday likely closes above our entry, which allows us to pivot off the weekly open in case the trade goes south. It also gives us the option to double down in case we dig deeper into our golden zone. All opportunity I likely grab, because I believe this market goes back up, and the bears calling for sub 50k are wrong. They are doing nothing but engagement farming of what the masses want to hear. After all, price is down so why talk about "the bear market" now all of a sudden, and not while we were at 73k? ➡️Engagement farming Just my 2 cents. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2038354870223400975#m

$BTC longs Heading lower into the weekly close, just added onto the long, this likely just sweeps and reclaims. Alright heading a bit lower here on weekly open. Ideally we didn't and just ran into the weekly close, but remember the plan of adding in the silver pocket. Quoted the tweet below for the ones who don't remember, we are tapping into it right now. So as promised, I added to the long on the premise of my plan. This is the only time I look to add onto this long, no more than that. If we head any lower or break below the htf silver pocket (the green zone at question), I am going to exit and take the loss. The first sign I look for is whether we close the daily above or below the low. Closing above would be a good start. But personally, I'm not bearish here and fully expect it to hold.

$BTC longs Our take profit point rejected ✅, and limit orders hit as well ✅ Entry improved. Alright! Nice move down from point of rejection and the point we took profits. Indeed, 67.2k acting as the level of resistance. At the same time, we also said to set to add that portion we took out as profits, back in at 66.2k so we kept limit orders there as the weekend closes. Well, that is exactly what happened. We rejected 67.2k, and hit 66.2k. Had some questions and doubt of "why I TP so early, why TP at 67k, that's just too soon the market barely moved". Aside from my own explanation back then of how a move of 1100 dollars is a lot during the weekend, I think the market answered that for me now too, thank you very much. I also had some questions about how my chart was two hours old. That's an error on my side as I had a gap of no internet for a moment and for some reason it seemed price didn't move after typing the post further but it did, I apologize.

Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC longs Nice push, shaving some gains + further instructions Alright, we achieved a 1100 dollar push so far not too long after taking our very entry. Retraced somewhat due to weekend whale activity selling into random S/R pivots (67.2k) in this case. I performed my trim here, 700 dollars above entry. Not as much as the usual, but keep in mind how weekend volatility is only half that of weeks to our usual trim in the 1200-2000 range. It does put the trade only at 1RR so far (SL at 65.5k, Price at 66.9k, entry in the middle 66.2k), so we'll have to be patient for somewhat longer until the weekend resolves. But from here, I simple look to add on CME gap again and remove the SL once next week opens and improve the entry, so the risk free position here is only temporarily in case Sunday becomes red and we set weekend lows, not a situation I want to stay long in. In our favourable case, we create a runaway gap and the trend up starts on Q2 open, we still score a big move since runaway gaps create big swings up. If not, we simply get to re-add the profit we took out now on CME gap. Some tight management, but a simple plan, taking max advantage of the good start of our long here and positioning in most ideal sense to ride the ultimate move up. Enjoy. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2038012509945463073#m

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. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2037875366782800195#m

$BTC From Monday high to Monday low ✅ And, Monday high hitting first btw, which is why we took a long to 71.9k. And yes, I often talk about how Monday range is not enough to bank on by itself. My core targets were 71.9k first, 65k second, supported by the Monday range. Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC longs Resistance broke, and we hit target. Win secured 💰 Alright! There it is. The long we took at 69.3k is now at 71.9k. That's the target we laid out, and we reached through a comfortable and relaxing ride, just going up straight to target with much drawdown and with only minor stops at the resistances I pointed out along the way. Couldn't wish for more, 2600 points scored on $BTC. Target hit so I now have only 30% left running on this one as we likely head towards our POI above next. Keep in mind I am not short yet. Just resting and digesting this win. Enjoy if you profited along, many of you did, since all was called live. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2036769390172184916#m

Moreover, once 65k is taken out, a IMO very juicy long opportunity will shape up. So that's a bullish statement, not a bearish statement. Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) 65k, closer and closer ⌛️ — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2037252005794926840#m

65k, closer and closer ⌛️ Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) $BTC The rejection continues ✅ Still no new longs for me until at least 65k. Also still same short POI. Alright, rejection continuing nicely. Every close follower knows what kind of trade we have been in and until what exact level right before this rejection. Indeed, a long idea, carrying it from 69k to 71.5k first, then after a pullback, a second long to 71.8k second. And couldn't tell you anything else but how satisfying it is how both levels rejected to the tick and how we rode up the second long in public. So when does Astro get long again? If you remember my next plan, unless something changes, it's going to be a while again now, indeed, 65k or below. No longs before or from higher because all the intermediate levels (such as 69k, our most recent long level) have been cleared and they can't be used a second time to long, that would create a double bottom (equal lows) and diluted edge, two things market makers love to counter. Instead, my 65k level becomes important next. Am I interested in shorting down to it? No. I wanted to see 72k, we only saw 71.9k, so it will take a sweep above the level of 71.9k to trigger a short. Whether we get it or not, I'm not sure at this point, there is no edge there for me anymore and 65k is a strong magnet in my bible. But if it reached the zone, I am confident in a rejection unless we see heavy local changes. But regardless, it doesn't matter as much. We got paid on a long, and from 65k (and sub) will be another juicy one I believe. So I'm not going to force any shorts here. I fumbled my short from 73k not too long ago unfortunately, so just paying the repercussions further. That's okay, doesn't mean I have to reclaim that position. But if the sweep into 72k+ zone still comes, I do think I will reclaim it. So, shorts only (if given), and no longs, until 65k. After the move from 69k -> 71.9k, this is the next step of the plan. A simple plan, and the next path in my book of history on bitcoin calls. — https://nitter.net/astronomer_zero/status/2037131067250110700#m
