Most traders missed this breakout waiting for confirmation. I didn’t. Here’s the exact trend setup I used to ride it from the start.
(Are you always late to the trend? Drop a 🔥 if you’ve been burned by waiting too long.)
Let’s talk about something painful:
That moment when the coin you’ve been eyeing for days finally breaks out…
…and you’re still on the sidelines, waiting for a “perfect” pullback that never comes.
It pumps 50%. Then 80%. Then 120%. And by the time you FOMO in, you’re buying someone else’s exit.
Yeah—that used to be me.
But a few months ago, I caught a clean 200% breakout before the herd even noticed it. No insider alpha. No hype group. Just a clear trend setup that slapped me in the face with conviction.
Here’s exactly how I spotted it, trusted it, and didn’t flinch.
🔍 The Mindset Shift: Stop Waiting for a Perfect Entry
Before we even dive into charts, let me say this:
Hesitation costs more than small losses.
Most traders are trained to wait for confirmation. And sure, waiting sounds safe. But in a trending market, waiting is the riskiest thing you can do.
I learned this the hard way, watching winners turn into "what-ifs" because I was married to the idea of the perfect retest.
Spoiler: it almost never comes.
📈 The Setup: Spotting Momentum Before It Screams
Let’s break down what I saw before entering that 200% rocket.
1. The Moving Average Crossover (EMA 9/21)
This is my go-to for catching early momentum.
-
Price had been consolidating sideways for days.
-
Then the 9 EMA crossed above the 21 EMA with a clean bullish candle.
-
That was the first tap on the shoulder.
2. Volume Surge Confirmation
I don’t trade without watching volume. Period.
On the crossover day, volume spiked 2.5x above average.
Not just a wick. This was intentional participation—someone loading.
3. MACD & ADX Say “Let’s Ride”
-
MACD showed a fresh bullish crossover, just starting to diverge upward.
-
ADX was > 20 and climbing—indicating a strengthening trend.
That combo?
It told me: “Forget the perfect pullback. This train is leaving the station.”
💥 The Entry: Where I Pulled the Trigger
I didn’t try to catch the bottom.
Instead, I entered on the breakout candle right after the volume spike, above local resistance.
Stop-loss? Just below the breakout zone.
Risk: ~2.5%.
Potential: ???
Well, it turned out to be 200%.
Most people waited for a dip that never came.
They got left behind, or worse—chased the top and rode the retrace.
🧠 What This Taught Me: Trends Reward Action, Not Perfection
-
The edge isn’t in being right, it’s in being early enough with a plan.
-
I stopped trying to “predict” and started trusting repeatable patterns.
-
I realized you don’t need to catch the bottom—just the meat of the move.
Traders talk a lot about patience. But in trend trading, patience isn’t waiting—it's riding the move and managing risk along the way.
💬 Real Talk: Why Most Traders Miss Big Moves
Because they’re afraid to be wrong.
They want proof. They want the market to “confirm” everything before they click the button.
But guess what?
By the time it’s obvious, it’s over.
🔥 Ready to Stop Missing Trends?
If you’ve been burned by hesitation before, I feel you.
This isn’t about being reckless—it’s about being ready.
