What Is a Falling Knife – And Why You Shouldn't Catch It 🔪⬇️

In trading, a "falling knife" means an asset that's dropping fast. The idea is simple: trying to buy while the price is crashing is like trying to catch a knife mid-air. Most of the time, you get hurt and buy too early while the price continues to go down.

🙅‍♂️ The same rule applies in real life. If someone drops a knife in the kitchen, you don't stick your hand out and grab it. You step back, let it fall, and only pick it up safely once it stops moving. Same with trading — smart traders don’t rush into a freefall.

Instead of guessing the bottom, it's better to wait for signs that selling pressure is slowing down. Look for 👇

⏺A base forming on the chart (sideways movement after a drop)

⏺Higher lows starting to appear

⏺Decreasing volume on sell-offs

⏺Strong support zones holding after a retest

Patience matters. Bottoms are confirmed with time, not hope. Let the market stabilize first, then make your move and always remember about danger of high leverage trading.

What you can do in crypto? 🤔

Getting into crypto doesn’t mean you have to become a full-time trader. The space is massive, with many paths to explore. Here’s a breakdown of key directions you can take — sorted from beginner-friendly to more advanced 👇

🔊 Airdrop Farming
One of the easiest ways to start. Use new protocols, create multiple wallets, stay active, and you might get rewarded when they launch a token. It requires patience and experience, not a lot of capital.

🔊 Promo Campaign Hunting (CEX Bonuses)
Many centralized exchanges offer signup bonuses, trading rewards, and referral programs. If you stay on top of campaigns, this can be an easy source of small but predictable gains. Low risk.

🔊 NFT Flipping or Collecting
Buy early, sell into hype, or hold blue-chip collections and earn white lists and airdrops. It’s a mix of culture, trends, and speculation. Requires time on X, Discord, and solid market timing because NFT seasons are rare. High risk.

🔊 Yield Farming
Provide liquidity or stake tokens on DeFi platforms to earn yield. Risk varies by project, but understanding protocols like Curve, Beefy, or Pendle opens doors to strong returns.

🔊 Arbitrage
Take advantage of price differences between DEXs, CEXs, or across different blockchains. Bots can automate this, but it starts with manually spotting inefficiencies. Requires technical skill, speed and some capital. Low risk.

🔊 Advanced Trading
The hardest and for some reason the most popular thing and potentially the most rewarding. Involves technical analysis, risk management, and emotional discipline. Easy to lose money if you don’t know what you're doing. High risk.

India and Pakistan might be going to war 🚨

On April 22, a terrorist attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir killed 26 people, most of them tourists. The attackers are believed to be linked to a Pakistan-based militant group.

👮 India reacted fast: it cancelled all Pakistani visas, expelled diplomats, and urged all Indian citizens to leave Pakistan immediately. The key escalation came when India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a decades-old agreement on water sharing.

Pakistan responded by cutting trade, closing its airspace to Indian flights, and expelling Indian nationals. It also warned that any attempt to block water would be treated as an act of war ❗️

Borders are closed. Diplomatic channels are frozen. Both sides are moving troops.

Army and Navy forces are now on full alert. And both countries have nuclear weapons 🚨

So far, this has had little effect on the financial markets, but if a real war breaks out, the stock market is bound to correct

An example of how technical analysis often has nothing to do with reality 🔍

People are discussing this chart right now, it was posted by one influencer on his X page.

😮 As you can see, the logarithmic chart of Ethereum shows a target of $80,000 per ETH by 2027.

According to the previous two cycles, this technical analysis is drawn correctly, but according to common sense, it is utter nonsense 🚬

ETH market cap would be over $9.5 trillion at current circulation if it were valued at $80k per coin. That's 3x the capitalization of the entire crypto market.

🤷‍♀️ Another proof that not everything that is neatly drawn on the price chart is worth believing.

Wall Street gets orange-pilled: a new Bitcoin-only firm just dropped 😮

Led by Strike founder Jack Mallers, known for helping El Salvador adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.

Backed by Tether, SoftBank, and Cantor Fitzgerald — combining institutional capital with actual BTC reserves ❤️

Thet launched with $3.6B in valuation and 42,000 BTC on the balance sheet. This makes Twenty One the third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, right after MicroStrategy and Marathon.

💸 The company raised $585M in additional funding to expand its Bitcoin position and build financial infrastructure. Its goal is not to report dollar earnings, but to maximize Bitcoin per share — a new way to measure value.

The roadmap includes Bitcoin-native lending, equity products, and media built around BTC as the base layer 📰

For me, it's hard to see this as anything but a long-term bullish signal. Serious players are positioning for a Bitcoin-centered future 🐂

The official site of the $TRUMP memecoin shows that the top 220 holders can now apply to have dinner with Donald Trump 🍔😎

Token immediately pumped, the top 220 holder owns $312k worth of TRUMP tokens 💰

Trump pumps the market 🔼

Trump has made a number of statements that have sent markets higher 👇

🟥 Trump reassured markets that tariffs on Chinese imports won’t reach 145%, though they “won’t be zero either.” He dismissed the idea of “playing hardball” with China but insisted the US would set terms if no deal is reached.

🟥 He called on the Fed to cut rates more actively, but downplayed consequences if Powell doesn’t act. Still, he clarified he has no plans to fire Powell — good news.

🟥 He called recent market moves “nicely up” and described the phase as “a transition period.” Said that China and other nations will have to make a deal with the US eventually.

🟥 On Ukraine, Trump struck an optimistic tone, promising a peace plan “within days” and sending his envoy back to Russia. He claimed talks with both sides went well and hinted a ceasefire could be reached “this week.”

Markets are hearing: lower tariffs, easier Fed, rising stocks, and a possible end to war 🤞

That’s as bullish as it gets. But it's important to remember that Trump is often vacuous and it's worth watching other political players, such as statements from Chinese officials, in the coming days.

If it becomes clear that the worst is indeed behind us - I expect a strong rise in the market and Bitcoin ATH very soon ↗️

The correlation between global M2 and the price of Bitcoin is working really well so far 📊

I believe that if this correlation continues, we can expect BTC to reach a new all-time high within the next 3 months 📈

Yes — 👍

Learn from Jim Simons — the GOAT of investing 👑

He wasn’t a Wall Street guy. He was a mathematician. He didn’t trade on gut feeling. He built algorithms.

💸 Jim Simons founded Renaissance Technologies and created the Medallion Fund — the most successful hedge fund in history. From 1988 to 2021, it returned an average of 62% per year before fees.

He didn’t give many interviews. He didn’t sell courses. But over the years, he left behind a few ideas worth remembering. Here are 5 of them:

"If I’m just one of many working on the same thing, I’ll probably lose. I look for ideas nobody’s chasing."

👉 Don’t follow hype. Find your edge in places others ignore.

"Bad ideas are good. Good ideas are great. No ideas are dangerous."

👉 Keep thinking. Even wrong ideas are better than creative emptiness.

"If you trade a lot, you only need to be right 51% of the time."

👉 You don’t need to be a genius. You need to be consistent.

"Things take longer than you think. Stick with it."

👉 Don’t expect fast wins. Expect slow, boring progress that compounds.

"Luck is a big part of it. I don’t ask if I’m smart today. I ask if I’m lucky."

👉 Stay humble. Size your risk. Respect randomness.
