💰 BTC correlation with indices

Bitcoin was once considered an alternative to the stock market — “digital gold”, unaffected by global risks. But the most attentive traders and investors see the opposite.

🟠 BTC is increasingly moving in unison with indices, especially the US100 and US500
🟠 During important macroeconomic events (Fed decisions, inflation reports, NonFarm, etc.), the behavior of cryptocurrency almost mirrors the dynamics of the stock market

Why is this important?
✔️ If BTC reacts as a risk asset rather than a defensive one, this changes the logic of entries and exits
✔️ Correlation with indices can help traders predict BTC movements based on stock market dynamics
✔️ But during periods of “crypto shock” (ETFs, halving, major disruptions), BTC can sharply deviate from the overall picture

📌 BTC can be both an indicator of stock market sentiment and a wild beast with its own rules.

🎯 The ability to track Correlation with the US100 or US500 can be a key tool in BTC trading.

🌍 FOREX SESSIONS

🕯 The FX market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Liquidity, volatility, and market behavior change as different financial centers open and close.

🇦🇺 SYDNEY SESSION (22:00 – 07:00 UTC)

🟢 Liquidity is thin, spreads can widen, and price moves slower — but this session often sets the initial tone for the market.
🔥 Best for: catching weekend gap closes and trading AUD & NZD pairs before Tokyo takes over.

🇯🇵 ASIAN SESSION (23:00 – 08:00 UTC)

🟢Pairs like USDJPY, AUDUSD, NZDUSD take the spotlight. Price moves slower, ranges are tight, and levels hold beautifully. Perfect for range traders & scalpers.
⚠️ Watch out: Asia often retraces late US moves – overnight traders get trapped all the time.

🇬🇧 LONDON SESSION (07:00 – 16:00 UTC)

🟢 Over 35% of all FX volume flows through London. This is where the market wakes up – EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCHF explode with liquidity.
🟢 Breakouts from the Asian range happen here – but beware of the London fakeout in the first hour.
✅ Smart traders wait for the real move before jumping in.

🇺🇸 NEW YORK SESSION (12:00 – 21:00 UTC)

🔥 Big news – NFP, CPI, Fed speeches – can rip through the charts. Sometimes NY pushes the London trend further, sometimes it kills it instantly.
🟢 After 20:00 UTC, liquidity fades & spreads widen.

📈 THE OVERLAPS — 12:00 – 16:00 UTC (London + New York) – the prime time of Forex. Stop hunts, breakouts, trend launches – this is where the action is.

💡 Pro Tip from FBS Analysts:
🟠 Mark the high & low of the Asian range before London opens.
🟠 When London breaks out – wait for the first false move (the “fakeout”) to trap weak traders.
🟠 Enter in the opposite direction after the trap is cleared – ride the real move into the London/NY overlap.

Hit ❤️ and save this post — so you’ll never trade blind to the sessions again!

📊 Wick in Trading. Powerful Signal or a Trap?

In the price action world, wick refers to a sharp price spike — either upward or downward — followed by a quick reversal. It visualizes liquidity grabs and can be a strong signal when analyzing the chart.

🔍 What is a Wick and How to Identify It?
A wick is a long candle shadow with a relatively small body. It shows that price briefly moved beyond a key level — triggering stop orders or collecting liquidity — then reversed sharply.
This could indicate:
- A liquidity grab beyond highs/lows
- A false breakout
- Smart money activity (large institutional players)

🧠 How to Use a Wick as an Entry Point?
There are two classic approaches:
1️⃣ Enter from the start of the wick (the price level where the wick begins)
2️⃣ Enter from the 0.5 level of the wick — the equilibrium price
✅ This level often acts as a reaction zone
✅ Provides a better risk-to-reward setup

📌 Place your stop-loss beyond the wick, as a return beyond it may signal a structure break.

🧩 On lower timeframes, a wick is often a full-bodied engulfing candle, which can be identified as an order block.

A wick on higher timeframes may align with internal structures on lower timeframes, such as accumulation zones or local reversals.

📈 Example
Price approaches a key level (e.g., a previous high), breaks it with a wick, triggers stop-losses of long positions, and then reverses downward. This creates a solid short entry from the 0.5 wick level.
