does anyone feel the same about crypto currency moving kinda different to other asset classes?
Ive been trading bitcoin and FX but in my eye they move in completely different manner in that what happens in crypto on H1 happens on M1~M15 in FX, anyone feel the same??

audcad m1 waiting for a reversal somewhere in these two areas, thoughts?{image}
see the bigger picture first
1. previous day low resistance
2. equal high buy side liquidity
3. 0.927 big number
4. inside the h1 order block, lower time frames would have shown the testing of order block and big number

what are traders' views on the following.

say trying to get 1% equity profit for each trading session.
would you:

1. go for 30 to 40 pips
2. go for 5 to 10 pips

i have the notion that in the htf asian session if there is the probability indication of uptrend
then price would not close below the bearish candle low
why would i want to drag my trading period longer?

It seems like these days the London session is not the big liquidity event that it once was. Now we have to wait for NY to wake up to see anything move more than a few ticks.

first thing to note is that from d1 chart we know it is up trend.
the d1 fvg is very wide.
so has to be very careful trading counter trend.

there are 2 bearish fvg. i have no confidence in taking the 1st upper one.
i prefer to see a more obvious break of structure and take entry from the 2nd fvg.
i have more confidence because i have more reasons backing me.
the displacement that broke the bos came down from the upper fvg.

m1 is volatile, so i prefer to see more backing reasons.
my personal tip:
when a displacement that made the market structure shit originated from a fvg.
take a trade when there is a 2nd fvg being offered.

i also show the chart on the right that provide a different perspective.
this one also has added reason to take a trade.
thereby further add to your confidence.

You don’t think it’s reversed? I thought it’d have a space at least to 23053

i think will trade to 24000 first, with the trend.
will change my mind if london low or asian low is broken.
of course i could be wrong.
i don't trade bitcoin.

ny session
targets:
nasdaq last week low
gbpusd last month low

wait for retracement

edit: does not mean i hold trade until target
means the directional bias
i can keep taking small profits now and then
and then re enter in same direction
