Crypto markets have been rallying hard, with BTC putting in new all-time highs (ATH) just below 35,000. This rally accelerator very quickly, creating parabolic trends on a plethora of different coins. Last week I outlined a trade I was taking on SUSHI. This trade hit my first take profit, and I am now just trailing out my stop-loss as part of my strategy.
My entries on this trade are marked with small white circles. I took this trade last Monday and it granted me a 2.5R return. Not too bad. Here’s the current chart.
Wow, did BTC enjoy the holidays. After accelerating to what I would consider a parabolic uptrend BTC has gotten a nice “scam” wick retesting a couple of key supports. BTC broke below its M support at 30,000 but was quickly repurchased and now resting above a couple of trend line supports. While this technically is a long trigger, I don’t like this trade too much as trend lines don’t hold as much weight as horizontal support levels.
By no means is BTC bearish here; my next trigger would be on a break of the D resistance at 32,200, where I would then look for a bullish retest of that level for my entry. As for attacking the downside, a rejection of the D resistance could warrant a short trigger, but I am not shorting BTC.
BNB offered an aggressive entry during the EU session on the restest of its D support at 39. This was also a retest of the upper channel that BNB has now broken, sending off very bullish signals. BNB has just entered price discovery, and as long as it holds its primary uptrend, I am uber-bullish on this name.
As for an entry, one was missed yesterday, so I am not looking to be a buyer until we either get a resumption higher or a re-test of the primary uptrend. Overall this chart looks very healthy as BNB is beginning to venture into new ATH’s and price discovery.
LTC offered a great entry yesterday aswell on a retest of 145, its M level. I played the bull flag on this earlier this week as I saw BTC show continued strength as it pushed towards 35,000. LTC looks really strong here especially considering the narrative building behind it. I would not be surprised if we see this legacy altcoin continue to rally and outperform numerous other names.
Don’t sleep on the Digital Silver ☺.
For the people who have not been following my CAKE position, it has now netted me over 45%, including yield. This is a robust trade. Currently, CAKE is in a bull-flag where it retested its W .55 level and its previous swing highs. For those who like laser entries I would wait for the breakout of the bull-flag and a bullish retest of the W .60 level. As for an invalidation, for me, it would be a break below the W level that it just bounced from.
Overall, CAKE looks super bullish, and the yield makes these a fantastic trade. I am keeping a close eye on this bull-flag but also keeping in mind the downside.
There will be no BSC recap for me this week as my spreadsheet will soon be replaced by a robot. Automation right. Oops I think that may have been a bit of a leak ☺, stay tuned for that.
Overall we have seen a very extended rally in the crypto markets. This holds on any time frame, 8H, D, W, M. Yesterdays correction comes by no surprise as these markets need to cool-down eventually. Not saying that I am one to predict those moves, but 20-30% drawdowns should always be accounted for, or at least expected to some degree.
Currently, markets are maintaining an insanely bullish posture but there are not too many acceptable entries (to my strategy). As these markets decide their direction through the week, I will be able to better my idea on how I want to position. As of now, I am managing a couple of open trades, but mainly just sidelined. While my posture is bullish we can very well see a drop in volatility as we consolidate at these levels until the market decides its next direction. Stay safe out there, and always make sure you are enjoying yourself!

Multi-chain smart mining Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform, CoinWind, has announced the third security audit of its protocol. The audit will be done by Certik - one of blockchain's leading security auditors.
The platform wants to grow its use cases while keeping security a top priority. CoinWind disclosed the news via a tweet on September 23:
"CoinWind is being auditing [sic] by Certik @certik_io"
From information on the platform's website, CoinWind has earlier been audited by Fairyproof and Beosin. However, a clean audit report by a high-reputation security firm like Certik will boost the credibility of CoinWind.
While we wait for the audit report to be ready, Certik's real-time smart contract analysis engine, Skynet, rates CoinWind well above average across various parameters. Though it does not take the place of a full audit report, a good score from Skynet could indicate a protocol's health.
CoinWind seems to be setting its eyes on more use-cases for its platform. Recently, it announced a partnership with an NFT marketplace, Treasureland:
"New Partner: TreasureLand. Welcome to Join CoinWind Eco-system. CoinWind will have future NFTs sale on Treasureland."
In addition to Treasureland, CoinWind has also partnered with other NFT marketplaces such as iNFT, Twinci, and SCV Finance. The signs are all over the place that we might see CoinWind launching its curated NFT offerings in the near future.
CoinWind is a strong midrange platform in terms of total value locked (TVL). The platform's single token mining pools have an impressive TVL of over $700,000,000 across multiple chains.
CoinWind is also building the social face of its brand. A community vote for the platform's mascot design is ongoing. See the details here.
CoinWind is a DeFi platform with a smart mining algorithm that maximizes a user's earnings. The protocol compounds earnings by automatically reinvesting generated income. CoinWind initially launched on Huobi's ECO Chain but has expanded onto Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. The team also has future expansion to Solana, OKEx chains in its sights.
Here are CoinWind's official links where you can learn more about the platform:
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has named security as ‘priority ONE.’ The statement from the Binance Smart Chain Twitter account accompanied an in-depth security and risk control whitepaper published earlier this month.
The paper—produced by the BSC Security Alliance of Binance Security, PeckShield, CertiK, and Immunefi—tackles a key issue related to projects being exploited after security audits. As of August 2021, around 90 Ethereum projects have hosted bug bounties via the Immunefi bounty program, compared to just 25 BSC projects.
“Joint bug bounties will introduce effective incentive structures for security talents to protect the BSC community,” the report said. “In addition, they also promote an understanding that proactively protecting BSC contracts through distributed and ongoing code reviews can be a viable career path for security researchers.
The report was at pains to explain that security is a process, not an event, and must continue after audits by using bug bounty programs. This year Certik has provided 300 audits for BSC projects, but this alone is not enough.
Security issues are increasingly being introduced post-audit, and as the popularity of the BSC ecosystem continues to grow, it also becomes a more attractive target for malicious actors.
