Though I saw the breakout from resistance, I didnt expect the bitcoin to touch the lows of the 60-k levels... the resistance levels at 99-100k, was broken - so I expected the fall, but that huge.
Just look at the chart, from mid summer to late fall of 2025, the massive support coud be spotted.
But, once the line was broken in november 2025, it was over...
Charting! That what helped me... and for proper charting you need proper broker. I use PrimeXBT's PXTrader 2.0. Had some positions on btc futures - the leverage there is really high, managed to have big positions. But sold everything out, once the resistance was penetrated.
Now, will btc touch 120k highs again? I dont know... for the momement I changed the focus, now fully in stocks. Here you can easily deploy funds from DeFi assets to TradFi, that what makes PrimeXBT unique. On top of that, there is special VIP program that offers reduced trading costs once you meet certain volume criteria. But without the vip program, spreads for forex market are not that low... that is one of the reasons I avoid fx trading much.
Good thing is Trading Central tool. I use its AI tools to help me in trading, not that it trades for me, now - it helps me gauge the market sentiment.
I just didn't understand what actually the are - just a crypto exchange platform or a brokerrage company. Saw some video abotu their pxtrader, went in, and stayed there because of the overall enviroment. I mean I do trades on different things - both from regular forex currencies, some conventional commodties and digital assets. And I liked the fact that I dodn't have to swithc between different platforms to trade all that.
That's made my expereince quite engaging, sometimes even overwhelming - i mean I was placing different orders, and things got hectic during volatile periods, especially in december last year - with all venezuella adventure, crypto and enrgies shifted, with the former having the biggest change. If it wasn't for the broker's unified platform, I'd miss some opportunities for making gains.
At the same time I feel they need to add more metals. They're about to be in high demand very soon.
And it's affordable, not big deposit requirements imho. Staying here definitely.
The recent sell of in crypto market ahs caught many off guards, and me too to some extent. I was chating on discord group and some were just in a denial mode that no way btc cant go to 60-k ish levels... but never say never, I also didnt belive that in January, but it didne mantter, I put hard stop losses at at 80k, I dint want to see btc testing 80k levles again - weak sign to me...
I know that in the past PrimeXBT had compensated losses of some gold traders. It is a ofcoz good, but I think that the broekr should not do that, no saying it is bad,... it just makes some traders not so reponsible. Even of the market is volatile, a trade needs to learn. I cut my losses, and no matter how painful it was - I had to move forward...
I ll rebounce back - not with crypto maybe, with stocks and commodities. I am really glad that apart from crypto I have traditioanal instrumnets too here. My tech stock portfolio has been quite resilient to market ranging moves in the past 2 months.
