When markets are trending it is much more simple to use EMA crosses + demand for context and get in using PA for continuation
However, entering at start of the trends if one can identify them provide the best RR
Below are some of my fav setups I look for, for continuation:

$SOL
Similar setup across the market. When prices are ranging you ideally want to interact with price at only the extremes.
The range highs ($90) has been capping price for about a month or so now, so looking to bid the range lows for a move back towards the mean, invalidation is price acceptance outside the range lows

$HYPE is the coin that front runs bottom formations every time we see a sharp correction
One of the best looking charts in crypto at the moment. However not the best to trade for lower time frame considering the price action and the way it trades.
Personally looking to bid around the range lows between $27-28 for a target towards previous month high. Invalidation is price finding acceptance below the green box marked

One mistake I see amateur traders make is how optimistic and pessimistic they get upon price swings in a ranging market
Ranging market filters to keep in mind:
1. Low realised volatility score = (High+Low)/2 across 20/40/60 days
2. Confined to value (Draw volume profile tool across 10-20-30 days and see how many times has it broken above or below value area)
Any extreme impulse is more often than not in a choppy market is an easy fade. These can also be your news driven events creating the volatility. So it is much more profitable to wait for some confirmations to look for continuation setups

$BTC move was a bunch of shorts covering after an expected and broadcasted event people had been positioning for, for weeks
CME open reaction + spot flows tomorrow determine if we can have some follow through to 75-80k or not
Notes on chart👇

Very happy with this strength in $BTC today
Honestly it was a heavily anticipated event and there was some insane short covering (perps and options) after the first headlines hit
Still hold all my spot and very happy to DCA down till 55k as per original plan, as for perps, have just stayed out after the 68k->63k short and 62k->69k long. No need to go hard after monthly profit targets are already hit

In the last $BTC trade, we left long orders for over 2 weeks to catch the $62->68k move
Good level to reject from right now with nPOC taken, range VaH rejected from and now rotating all the way down to VaL
Think you want to TP around here or trail stops. Wait for next trigger

Trendlines can be a very great added confluence to your trading
On higher time frames these can act as the gauge for the overall trend and help trade in the right direction

Liquidation Heatmaps have mostly been useless over the past 2-3 years for perp traders
With Hyperliquid gaining popularity + market share in terms of open interest market share
Looking at liquidation level clusters on this platform + having the ability to track down to the granular level which traders are actually in these positions and their past trading history, it becomes more and more an efficient use of your time to model these data points and adjust the levels you place limits at

Been working on automated systems for a while now and this is the end result
In the next couple of months, I will be sharing my custom indicators (that you can automate alerts/trading with)
Will start with 10 different indicator suites. Sharing my 7 years of trading knowledge on a platter for those interested for free. Beta stage for testing will start soon on my free TG group with all the traders who've been grinding there for years
Leave a ❤️ if you want to be part of this journey

$SOL
$90 was the resistance tested multiple times and we couldn't get trade beyond. With BTC looking very iffy at these prices, I suspect this swing low at $76 would likely fail to hold and we might get a chance to bid the monthly low at $67.
Not interested in anything until we get some liquidation wick or strong impulse that breaks the overall downtrend
