Crypto4light Indicators Set I spent a lot of time with backtesting and coding to create this set. 6 indicators which can cut all noise on your charts and bring more light in your trading strategy.š³ Trade ON indicator
ā”ļø Buy/Sell The signal appears when you can open a position for buying or selling. Stop Loss can be set according to your risk management. Entry into the position can be at the appearance of the Buy/Sell signal and the closing of the candle. Stop Loss by the body or wick of this candle. Another entry option is to wait for the closing of 40-50% of the body of the candle on which you saw the Buy/Sell signal. Stop Loss by the body or wick of the candle on which you saw the Buy/Sell signal. On example you can see 35% profit on spot, 4H timeframe trade. Sometimes you can see signal just blinking, so wait until signal confirmed or try go to lower timeframe to see confirmation for entry by your risk management and strategy.
ā”ļøĀ Red or Green triangles Once a Buy/Sell signal appears and you enter a position, you have several options. It all depends on your trading style and risk management. The first option - If, for example, you entered on the Buy signal, you can close the purchase at the appearance of the Take Profit signal, or at the appearance of the Sell signal, and open a position in another direction.The second option, after opening a position when triangles appear, this is a signal to close a certain percentage of the position in the plus. With each new triangle, you can close % of your position and move the Stop Loss to breakeven.The third option, after opening a position at the appearance of triangles, closing a full position and looking for a possible option to open a position in the other direction, closing the position after the triangles should take place at the appearance of the main Buy/Sell signal.
ā”ļøĀ Take Profit
ā”ļøĀ Two identical signals in a row
š³ Direction indicator
Circles will appear from above or below. The circles will signal that the main market makers are starting to reduce or gain their position. Big players always need liquidity, so they can build or reduce a position for quite a long time. Round dots are not the main signal for tradingA red or green triangle signals a final change in the local or global trend, depending on your timeframe. Market Makers or players with large positions have exited the market,Ā or conversely gained enough position to change the direction of price movement.The green and red solid lines are the levels where the trend is most likely to end The green and red dashed lines are the levels where the big players are more likely to start gradually selling off or gaining a position to change the trend before the momentum. In the style settings, you can change the input positions of each of the lines, for yourself or for a specific asset. But the settings are already set in the most optimal way.
š³ ADZ (Accumulation/Distribution Zones)
The red solid zone shows the zone where the big players will complete the sale of their position.The solid green area shows where the big players will accumulate their positions.The middle blue zone shows where medium and small players start to accumulate or sell off their positions.The yellow zone inside the blue zone shows a trend change and this means that most likely the big players have already gained a position to start selling or gaining it depending on the timeframe in which you are trading.
š³ Take Profit indicator
The first lower "Buy" line, when the price drops to this line is a good point to enter a position or gradually build a position.The bottom green line "Fundamental price" is the real value of the asset. Sometimes when the media background about the asset is negative and buyers are not interested in the asset, the price can fall below its fundamental price. Then this is the best time to buy the asset.The first upper Take Profit line is a line where you can lock part of the profit or close the entire position. There is aĀ possibility of opening a short position if you trade on the futures market The very top Exit line is the line where you need to close 100% of the trade position. If you are an investor, you do not need to close the entire position and exit the asset, because all lines are dynamic and change depending on the cycle in which the asset is located.
š³ Market Mood Indicator
On different timeframes, you can view the moodĀ that is currently present in the market. Trend, euphoria, position selection, or lack of interest. Red and orange colorĀ - fear and overbought in the marketĀ GreenĀ - Accumulation and purchases on the marketĀ YellowĀ - Gradual set of positionĀ WhiteĀ - purchases and lack of interest from small investorsĀ BlueĀ - Neutral mood in the market
I rename color zones so you can turn on alerts and easier understand notifications. Some colors got 2 alerts because of gradation based on input data, so you can choose any. You should understand on downtrend for example orange zone can be still be a belief sentiment because traders belief price will not drop. Dark redĀ - Euphoria Light redĀ - Thrill Orange (light and dark)Ā - Belief / Strong Belief YellowĀ - Optimism GreenĀ - Hope Light blueĀ - Disbelief Dark blueĀ - Capitulation WhiteĀ - Depression š³ Money Power Indicator
When the asset reaches one of the zones, it can serve as a good signal to close a part of the position or to start a gradual acquisition of the position according to your trading timeframe. An almost ideal signal for deciding whether to enter or exit a position would be a divergence on the price chart and the curve on the Money Power indicator. If you are in a long position, for example, and you see that the price on the chart continues to rise, but in the overbought zone, the lines of the Money Power indicator show lower highs, this is a signal that a large player has almost completely sold out his position on this timeframe. Of course, the price may continue to grow for some time depending on the timeframe, but such indicators usually indicate the outflow of money from large investors and small players will not be able to keep the asset from falling for a long time. Everything is the same but in a different direction in the oversold zone. When a big player gradually gains a position and we see that the money flow curve goes up, and the price on the chart and candles show lower minimums. This will be a great signal to enter a position. You can enter or close a position by analyzing older timeframes W, 3D 1D depending on your trading style. In new version you also can find a new signals (explanation with default colors, but you can modify it to your theme) Yellow blockĀ - Whales sell or close % of position Yellow block with arrow downĀ - Whales strong sell Blue blockĀ - Whales buy Blue block with arrow upĀ - Whales strong buy Triangle down -Ā Bearish RSI divergency Triangle Up -Ā Bullish RSI divergency Red CircleĀ - Bearish MACD divergency Green CircleĀ - Bullish MACD divergency
I am not a financial advisor. All indicators created with my own personal experience. Do NOT trade or invest based only on indicators. Always do your own research and due diligence before investing. All indicators can be used on different timeframes. The higher timeframe, the stronger signal. Your entry or exit point should be base on several indicators from the set, your trading strategy and your risk management. Indicators cannot predict or analyze future events in the world, the release of data in economic reports, statements in the media by public figures, so always follow your risk management when you open trades. āļøĀ Always follow risk management and this set of indicators will help you.Ā I wish you successful trading. #trading #crypto
Large amounts of capital are fleeing the United States ā and the markets can smell an impending crisis.
Markets are flashing more and more warnings of incoming financial turbulence. The biggest foreign holders of U.S. Treasuries ā Japan, the UK, and China ā have slashed their positions to levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis (especially China, whose holdings have dropped to around $682ā688 billion, the lowest since 2008, while Japan and the UK have been mixed but overall foreign demand remains high in spots).
This widespread selling of Treasuries is driving yields higher, making borrowing more expensive and tightening global liquidity ā which in turn crushes risk appetite everywhere.
History follows a familiar pattern: the bond market gets hammered first, then stocks take the hit, and finally crypto suffers the sharpest, most brutal drawdown. $BTC
Blackrock deposited 3970 $BTC and 82813 ETH to CEX. This caused panic among many people, yesterday posted
Whatās bothering me is that Bitcoin is just hanging there and canāt (or maybe the market makers havenāt gotten the signal yet) break through 90,000 and hold it to form at least a daily bullish structure!
I also hate it when right before the New York session close they start pumping the market, trapping everyone in longs! And everything would be fine, but over the weekend Uncle Donald still sent a few of his warships toward Iran!
But itās too early to scream and post āBREAKING NEWSā! Youāll be surprised, but historically, US military actions have actually been positive for the markets! Most likely because the big players at the wheel start dumping dollars (since dollars are already being spent on those military operations) and buying gold, silver⦠and, to a small percentage, our orange coin!
The first two are obvious ā theyāre already at all-time highs anyway. But our coin could get a boost! Okay⦠we wait. #BTC #DonaldTrump
Imagine this: $BTC hits a new high, a fresh Solana or $XRP ETF launches, crypto Twitter is euphoric⦠and yet SOL and XRP start dumping right after the ābullishā ETF news. Now, let's take a look what a crypto ETF actually is, how it works, why itās different from simply buying coins yourself, and why altcoin prices can still fall even after āsuccessfulā spot ETF launches.
What Is a Crypto ETF? Letās start with the basics ā a crypto ETF, or exchangeātraded fund, is a traditional investment fund whose job is to track the price of one cryptocurrency or a basket of cryptocurrencies. Instead of buying Bitcoin, Ethereum or altcoins directly on an exchange, an investor buys shares of this fund on a stock market, just like buying shares of an S&P 500 ETF or a gold ETF.
There are two main types of crypto ETFs investors usually talk about. Spot crypto ETFs hold the underlying asset directly ā for example, a spot Bitcoin ETF actually owns BTC in custody, and its share price reflects realātime Bitcoin movements, minus fees.Futures crypto ETFs do not hold coins; instead, they hold futures contracts, which can lead to tracking errors when futures prices diverge from spot prices over time. How Does a Spot Crypto ETF Work? Now, how does a spot crypto ETF actually operate behind the scenes?
At the center is the fund issuer ā a company that sets up the ETF and decides its rules, fees, and which custodian will hold the coins. The issuerās goal is simple: make the ETF share price follow the underlying crypto price as closely as possible, whether thatās BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP or a basket of assets. The key mechanism is called ācreation and redemption.ā Authorized participants (large institutions or market makers) deliver Bitcoin or another crypto to the fund in exchange for big blocks of new ETF shares, called creation units.They can also return ETF shares to the fund and receive the underlying coins or cash back, which is called redemption, keeping ETF price aligned with the spot market. Retail investors never see this process. A regular investor just opens a brokerage app, types in the ETF ticker (for example a Bitcoin or Solana ETF), and buys or sells shares during normal stock market hours using fiat.Even though the ETF is backed by crypto, shareholders typically cannot redeem those shares for actual coins; they only get exposure to price changes, not direct control over wallets or private keys.
ETF vs Buying Crypto Directly So what is the difference between buying a crypto ETF and buying the coin itself on an exchange? First, ownership and control are completely different. When you buy the coin directly (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP), you can move it to your own wallet, stake it, use it in DeFi, or send it anywhere ā you control the private keys and the asset itself.When you buy a crypto ETF, you only own shares of a regulated fund; you cannot withdraw ETF shares as real coins, interact with blockchains, or use DeFi protocols with those shares. Second, the access and regulation side looks very different. ETFs trade on traditional stock exchanges and are regulated as securities, which means many conservative investors, pension funds, and institutions feel more comfortable using them instead of opening accounts on crypto exchanges.Direct crypto purchase requires dealing with exchanges, wallets, KYC on new platforms, selfācustody risks, and sometimes unclear regulation, which many traditional investors want to avoid. Third, fees, trading hours and tax treatment are not the same. ETFs charge an annual management fee and only trade during market hours, while spot crypto trades 24/7 but has exchange fees, spreads, and custody risks instead.In many jurisdictions, ETFs may have clearer tax reporting, whereas direct crypto can fall into less familiar tax categories for mainstream investors and their accountants.Suppose there is a spot Solana ETF backed by SOL that trades on a major stock exchange; a traditional investor can buy āSOL exposureā at the click of a button without ever touching a crypto wallet.Meanwhile, a cryptoānative user might prefer to buy SOL directly on Binance or another exchange, stake it onāchain, and bridge it between DeFi platforms ā something an ETF simply cannot offer.
Why Launch Bitcoin and Altcoin ETFs At All? Now letās answer the big āwhyā ā why launch ETFs for Bitcoin, and even more, for altcoins? From the perspective of traditional finance, ETFs are a bridge product. Crypto ETFs let banks, asset managers, and pension funds offer ācrypto exposureā in a familiar, regulated wrapper without forcing their clients into new platforms or custody models.This increases potential capital inflows over time, boosts market legitimacy, and integrates crypto into standard investment portfolios alongside stocks and bonds. For regulators and policymakers, ETFs are easier to supervise. Instead of millions of retail users selfācustodying coins and getting hacked or scammed, regulators can oversee a smaller number of large funds and custodians with strict compliance obligations.In practice, this is why spot Bitcoin and later Ethereum ETFs were approved only after years of debate ā they align crypto more closely with existing financial rules and investor protection frameworks. Now, why ETFs for altcoins like Solana or XRP? Altcoin ETFs expand the investable universe: they allow institutions to express views beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example on highāthroughput chains or paymentāfocused networks.They also create new fee streams for issuers and trading venues, which is why there is strong business incentive to launch products for any asset with sufficient demand and liquidity. However, it is important to stress that launching an ETF does not magically create new value for the underlying protocol. An ETF does not change Solanaās transaction throughput, XRPās adoption by payment providers, or any chainās tokenomics; it only changes how investors can gain exposure.Over the long term, fundamentals, onāchain activity, and macro conditions still dominate price performance, with ETFs acting more like a new distribution channel than a fundamental upgrade. Why Can Altcoin Prices Fall After Spot ETF Launches?
This is the paradox many viewers are interested in: āIf a spot ETF is bullish, why does the coin dump?ā Letās break down the main reasons, using altcoin examples. First, there is the classic ābuy the rumor, sell the newsā dynamic. In the weeks before a big ETF launch, traders frontārun the narrative, pushing prices higher on expectations of fresh inflows and institutional FOMO.Once the ETF is live, early speculators lock in profits, and selling pressure from those who ābought the rumorā can outweigh the actual new demand from ETF buyers, causing the price to drop. Second, inflows are often overstated or misunderstood. Headline numbers such as ārecord firstāday ETF volumeā may include a lot of shortāterm trading, arbitrage, and hedging, not pure net buying from new longāterm investors.Many institutional players buy ETF shares while simultaneously shorting the underlying coin or futures to run marketāneutral strategies, which adds selling pressure on spot markets instead of relieving it. Third, capital rotation within crypto can mask or fully offset ETF demand. In some altcoin cases, strong ETF demand has been driven by investors rotating out of Bitcoin or Ethereum into alt exposure, rather than bringing in completely new money from outside crypto.If the total crypto market cap is under pressure due to macro factors ā for example, higher interest rates or riskāoff sentiment ā this internal reshuffling does little to support prices and may even accelerate drawdowns. Fourth, macro environment and timing matter a lot. When certain Solana and XRP ETFs launched, this happened during a broader riskāoff phase where Bitcoin itself had already started a significant decline from its highs, dragging the entire market lower.In such conditions, even āsuccessfulā ETFs with healthy inflows cannot fully counteract selling pressure from leveraged liquidations, profitātaking, or capital leaving the asset class entirely. Fifth, ETF structure and initial allocations can delay the impact on spot markets. Some funds accept either the altcoin or fiat in big ābasketsā ā for example 10,000ācoin blocks ā from authorized participants when creating new shares.If APs mostly deliver coins they already hold from exchanges and custodians rather than buying fresh tokens on the open market, ETF creation does not translate into strong spotāmarket buy pressure at launch. To tie this together with a concrete scenario for your viewers: Imagine SOL rallies from 180 to over 200 dollars in the days before its ETF goes live, driven by traders expecting a āsecond leg upā once traditional investors can buy via the ETF.The ETF launches, initial flows are solid on paper, but large holders and leveraged longs start taking profits, marketāneutral strategies add selling, macro is riskāoff, and SOL slides from around 205 toward the 140 area over the next weeks, despite headlines about ārecordā ETF metrics.An ETF is an access tool and a narrative catalyst, not a guaranteed price pump, especially in the short term.Over time, if ETFs steadily attract net new capital from outside the crypto ecosystem, they can support higher valuations, but that effect is gradual and heavily dependent on macro and fundamentals.
