Today I attempted to buy on Uniswap with my stop-loss placed at 10,704 and take-profit at 11,194. Uniswap on the M15 timeframe. From the price action perspective, we can see that the area around the marked buy level on the chart is a crucial zone. Currently, the price is testing this area after previously moving above it. This level serves as the nearest support level. If the price bounces upward, there's a chance it could retest the resistance around the marked take-profit target.

Today I attempted to sell Bitcoin with my stop-loss placed at 117135.95 and take-profit at 116103.46. Bitcoin on the M15 timeframe. Looking at the candlestick pattern, we see several long tails at the top of the candles when the price attempts to break through the resistance, indicating a selling reaction or price rejection in that area. This reinforces the signal that the resistance is quite strong and difficult to penetrate without significant buying volume. Meanwhile, the support at the bottom has managed to hold off price declines several times; although there have been small breaks, the price has always returned to the range.

My open sell position on Bitcoin eventually hit my stop-loss, resulting in a loss of $59.20. Bitcoin rose to 119,128.30 today, forming a new resistance area and currently remains above the 200-day moving average (MA200).

Today I attempted to sell Litecoin with a stop-loss order placed at 122.79 and a take-profit order at 119.35. Litecoin on the M15 timeframe. In terms of price action, the price decline that occurred after failing to maintain a position above resistance indicates distribution or profit-taking by market participants. The price's failure to return above the moving average line reinforces the view that a trend reversal has occurred. Currently, any attempts at price upside tend to be halted before approaching the moving average line, indicating that this area is now functioning as dynamic resistance.

My open sell position on Litecoin eventually hit my stop-loss, resulting in a loss of $20.00. On the M15 timeframe, Litecoin appears to have successfully broken through the 200-day moving average (MA200) and risen to 125.89. I believe Litecoin still has the potential to rise again today.

Today I attempted to sell Ethereum with a stop-loss order placed at 4337.85 and a take-profit order at 4176.41. Ethereum on the M15 timeframe: Looking at the candlestick pattern in the peak area, a candle with a fairly long upper tail appears after touching resistance. This indicates selling pressure or profit-taking from some market participants. Although the price is currently hovering around the high, this signal should be monitored closely as it could be an early sign of a retracement.

The open sell position that I did on Etherium finally touched Take profit and I made a profit of $8.09. If I look at the movement of etherium today, it turns out that it has fallen to the price of 4163.32, thus touching my take profit.

Today, I attempted to sell Riple with a stop-loss order placed at 3.2731 and a take-profit order at 3.1721. On the M15 chart, Riple showed that after breaking through the moving average, several long-bodied bearish candles formed in succession. This indicates strong selling pressure and minimal resistance from buyers. The small correction that occurred after the decline was halted before testing a new low, indicating that any current uptrend is merely a brief retracement within the downtrend.

My open sell position on Riple eventually hit my stop-loss, resulting in a loss of $54.74. Riple's price did rise to 3.2805 today, but I currently see it still moving below the 200-day moving average (MA200), which suggests it could continue to decline today.

Today I attempted to buy Cardano with a stop-loss order placed at 0.79446 and a take-profit order at 0.817161. Cardano on the M15 timeframe: In the initial phase, the price gradually rose after hitting a low. This increase formed a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, indicating a healthy uptrend. Each time a correction occurred, the price rebounded before touching the moving average line, indicating strong buying interest in the market. The bullish momentum became clearer when the price broke through temporary resistance and approached the predetermined target area.

My open buy position on Cardano finally hit take profit, netting me a profit of $1.27. I saw Cardano rise today and form a new resistance area. However, at the opening of today's market, I saw Cardano move back below the 200-day moving average (MA200), indicating a bearish trend.

Today I attempted to buy Solana with a stop-loss at 178.14 and a take-profit at 183.24. Solana on the M15 timeframe: Price action-wise, the last candlestick shows quite strong bearish pressure, but it hasn't been accompanied by extreme declining volume. This indicates that sellers haven't yet fully dominated the market. If the price manages to stay above the moving average and existing support, there's a good chance of a rebound back towards resistance. Conversely, if the support is broken with a solid bearish candle, the decline could continue to the next support area, which is likely a few points below the red moving average line.

My open buy position on Solana finally hit take profit, resulting in a profit of $31.23. I believe this profit is substantial and can cover my previous losses. I believe Solana will likely rise again today.

Today I attempted to buy Filecoin with a stop-loss order placed at 2,583 and a take-profit order at 2,708. Filecoin on the M15 timeframe. Judging by the price action, the price increase was initiated by a breakout from the previous consolidation. After the breakout, the price continued to rise with limited retracement, indicating buyers were in control. In the final phase, a slight correction was observed from the peak. This correction is considered normal as long as it doesn't break through the important support level near or below the entry point. Healthy corrections like this often occur before the price resumes its uptrend.

My open buy position on Filecoin today hit my stop-loss, resulting in a loss of $0.58. I believe Filecoin is likely to rise today, as I see it testing the 200-day moving average (MA200). If it fails to break through, it's likely to continue rising.

Today I attempted to sell USDCAD with a stop-loss order placed at 1.3786 and a take-profit order at 1.3754. USDCAD on the M15 timeframe. From a price action perspective, after a sharp rise followed by a quick reversal, the market often enters a distribution phase where buyers begin to exit their positions and sellers take over. The candlestick pattern that formed after the decline also indicates that selling pressure remains quite dominant. However, the recent slight sideways movement indicates that the market is testing the balance between buyers and sellers before determining its next direction.

Today I attempted to buy EURJPY with a stop-loss at 172.21 and a take-profit at 173.0. On the M15 timeframe, the EURJPY's latest movement pattern indicates a healthy pullback within the uptrend. The candlesticks formed after the correction demonstrate buyers' efforts to maintain control, although selling pressure still occasionally appears. The fact that the price hasn't fallen too far from the support level indicates that buyers are still quite strong, and there's a possibility the price will try to break through the nearest resistance again soon.

Today I tried to sell USDJPY with a stop-loss at 148.04 and a take-profit at 147.56. USDJPY on the M15 timeframe. From a candlestick pattern perspective, the sharp decline formed a larger bearish engulfing formation, where the bearish candle completely engulfs the previous bullish candle. This pattern often signals an early trend reversal or, at the very least, a deep correction. After the decline, the price moved sideways within a relatively narrow range, indicating a consolidation phase following an extreme decline. This condition often occurs when the market is searching for a new direction after a major move.
