Must-have indicator for a bull market: LSMA 129

Image
  Hi, this is ChartInfo. When there’s a strong uptrend, I always make sure to check if the price is finding support at a moving average called the LSMA. Let’s dive into the LSMA, a powerful auxiliary indicator for support in a bull market. BTCUSDT 4H 1. What is LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average)? LSMA is a moving average that applies the statistical method of "Linear Regression" to price data. That’s why it’s also frequently called the "Linear Regression Indicator. " While the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA) inevitably suffers from "lagging" because they average out past prices, the LSMA is different. It finds the best-fit "straight line" that explains the distribution of price data over a set period and plots a point on the chart where that line points at the current moment. In other words, it statistically predicts "Where should the price be right now?" if it continues its current trend. Th...

[The Oil Drop, ChartInfo Saw It Coming] The Perfect Timing of Technical Analysis and the Ceasefire

Image
Hello! This is WBT from the ChartInfo team. Recently, we've seen massive volatility in the crude oil ($CL) market. With just 20 minutes left on the US deadline, the dramatic news of a ceasefire between the US and Iran caused sky-high oil prices to take a massive dive. A lot of people try to find the reason for the drop only after watching the news, but the truth is, the chart was already flashing strong bearish signals. Today, let's review the perspective from our last post and see how charts actually front-run the news. #Spot-On Support and Resistance at the Top of the Channel TF : D We got a successful bounce right from the key neckline around $94–$96 that I highlighted in my previous analysis, and the price rallied all the way up to the previous high of $117. What you need to pay attention to here is that the $117 price tag perfectly matched the upper resistance line of the ascending channel I drew. If you confirmed the buying pressure at support, the top of the channel was ...

Why Your Brain Forces You to Sell Winners Too Early

Image
Hello, this is CHARTINFO . Last week, we explored the psychological struggle of cutting losses. Today, we’re diving into the opposite—but equally challenging—side of the trade: knowing when to exit a winner. Most traders fail not because they can't find good entries, but because they can't manage their emotions once they are in the green. 1. The "Fear of Regret" Trap When you see a profit, your brain treats it as "real money" before you even close the position. The fear of watching that profit evaporate causes you to sell too early. You feel a momentary relief, but you miss out on the massive trend that follows. 2. The Math of Expectancy Trading is a numbers game. To remain profitable long-term, your average win must outweigh your average loss. By cutting your winners short, you are mathematically sabotaging your account, even if you have a high win rate. Expectancy = (Win Rate times Average Win) - (Loss Rate times Average Loss) 3. Mastering the Hold To fix ...

The Hardest Skill in Trading: Why Your Brain Hates Stop Losses (And How to Fix It)

Image
Hello, traders around the world! This is CHARTINFO . We have all been there. You enter a trade, it goes against you, and you find yourself staring at the screen, hoping it will turn around. Instead of cutting the loss, you move your stop loss further away or remove it entirely. By the time you finally exit, the damage to your account is severe. 1. The Psychological Pain of Being "Wrong"   Our brains are wired to avoid pain. In trading, triggering a stop loss feels like admitting defeat. It makes us feel like we made a bad decision. But professional trading is not about being right 100%  of the time; it is about managing risk when you are wrong. 2. The Illusion of Hope When a trade goes red, hope becomes our worst enemy. We remember that one time the market reversed at the last second and saved us. Relying on hope rather than mechanical execution is what destroys trading accounts and fails prop firm challenges.

[Ethereum Chart Analysis] Completion of the N-Wave Upward Trend Seen Through Ichimoku Cloud Time Theory and Equal Time Values

Image
Hello, I'm WBT of Team ChartInfo In chart analysis, the duration of a trend is just as important as the price flow. Today, we will apply the time theory of the Ichimoku Cloud to the Ethereum chart to objectively analyze the current waves and cycles. The Ichimoku Cloud time theory is a technical analysis concept that identifies price turning points and trend durations through specific cycles. It primarily uses the basic numbers 9, 17, and 26, and their extended composite numbers like 33, 42, and 65, to read the psychological rhythm of market participants. Viewing the current macroeconomic flow of Ethereum from the perspective of this time theory reveals highly significant patterns. The First Ascent and Short-Term Correction The First Ascent and Short-Term Correction Ethereum formed a bottom at $1384 on April 9, 2025, and began to rebound. This upward trend continued for 63 days until June 11. This period falls under the influence of the Ichimoku Cloud composite number 6...

[WTI Crude Oil / $CL] Price Action & Key Target Zones Following the US-Iran Issue

Image
 [Oil Futures Chart Analysis]  Hello, I'm WBT of ChartInfo  Oil Price Direction and Key Entry Points Following the US-Iran Issue Current Oil Price Situation and Chart Analysis Oil prices have surged recently due to the war issue between the US and Iran. The price of oil hit $119.48 at one point and is currently moving sideways as it somewhat stabilizes.  Looking at the chart, you can see that the price deviated significantly from the Bollinger Bands standard deviation of 2, briefly hit a high, and then came down. Because of this, a rapid expansion of the Bollinger Bands did not occur simultaneously. Since coming down from the high, it has been moving sideways without a clear direction, but looking at the detailed movements, there are points worth noting.  The green area in the chart photo represents the Bollinger Bands for the current timeframe, while the gray background represents the Daily Bollinger Bands.
