My Trading Horror Story

日本語の原稿はこちら 

The pick of the day is UDS/CHF and I have a horror story to tell you. As you might remember from my last week’s coverage on the pair, I was in a bearish position and had set my account to take profit at 0.86990. When I saw the market testing near that area on Thursday I checked the market sentiment and decided to bring my target higher up to 0.87 and get the heck out of my position asap, but guess what happened, my broker didn’t accept my order. Immediately after that Mr. Swissy and Ms. USA got wild and started dancing up. They have been on a passionate upward move ever since, breaking inside the prevailing Ichimoku cloud and leaving me, the poor me,  in a losing trade. How I loathe my broker sometimes. While the pair remains inside a downward channel, the RSI is above the neutrality area. The pair seems to be on its way to the previous recent top around the 38% Fibonacci level. If the pair succeeds to break above the Ichimoku cloud, I’m gonna be doomed and would need to get out of the market with a losing trade. My Sop Loss order is set at 0.9092. Currently I remain in the game considering my risk appetite, with my target set at 0.87.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.
