Bitcoin Trading Guide
⚡ Read this before you open your next trade
Bitcoin (BTC) has evolved from a niche digital currency to a major financial asset. With its unique market dynamics, 24/7 trading, and high volatility, Bitcoin offers significant opportunities for traders who understand its behavior.
Bitcoin Market Cycles
Bitcoin follows roughly 4-year cycles tied to halving events. Historically: accumulation phase → early bull market → euphoria → bear market → accumulation. Halving reduces new BTC supply by 50%, historically triggering bull runs within 12-18 months.
What Moves Bitcoin Price
Key BTC price drivers: institutional adoption (ETF flows), regulatory news, macro environment (risk-on/risk-off), halving cycles, on-chain metrics (exchange flows, whale activity), and correlation with tech stocks.
Bitcoin Technical Analysis
Bitcoin respects technical analysis well due to retail-dominated trading. Key levels: psychological round numbers ($50k, $100k), previous ATH, 200-week MA (historically strong support), and on-chain realized price levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bitcoin correlated with stocks?
Bitcoin has shown increasing correlation with tech stocks (NASDAQ) since institutional adoption grew. During risk-off events, BTC often sells off with equities. However, this correlation is not constant and breaks down during crypto-specific events.
What is Bitcoin halving?
Bitcoin halving occurs every 210,000 blocks (~4 years), cutting the block reward in half. This reduces new BTC supply and has historically preceded major bull markets. The 2024 halving reduced rewards from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC.
