July 23rd Chart Decoder Series: VWAP – Market Truth Detector

Welcome to the Chart Decoder series. Here we categorize tools that separate casual traders from professionals.

You have already mastered trend identification (SMA/EMA), momentum shift (MACD), excessive/sold out zones (RSI), extreme extreme extremes (bollinger bands), and inversion timing (probability).

Now it’s time for VWAP, an indicator that cuts Now and tells you one simple thing. Are you overpaying?

What is VWAP?

VWAP represents the volume weighted average price. It shows you the average price everyone paid today, but gives you more weight to the price where many transactions have happened.

Bitcoin spiked quickly to $110,000, but only a few people bought there, most people traded about $105,000 on a major buying and selling, while VWAP is way closer to $105,000.

The concept of calculation is simple.

• Do all trades all day
• Multiply the price x volume for each transaction
• Add them all and split them by total amount

What you get is a “true” average price that reflects where most of the money actually changed hands.

How to read VWAP:

vwap above = pay more than most people. If the price exceeds VWAP, most people are paying more than what they paid today (weighted by the amount they bought). This means:

• Many people are buying it now and are increasing the price
• You may be purchasing when the price is temporarily high
• Prices may return to where most people bought it

Below vwap = get better deals. If the price is below VWAP, most people get a better price than what they paid today. This often means:

• More people sell it than they buy, pushing prices down
• You may have gotten quite a deal compared to previous buyers
• Prices may bounce back to where most people bought it

VWAP = Pay average. When a price is traded on VWAP, the average person pays exactly what he pays today, based on all the buy and sell that occurred.

Large traders use VWAP to benchmark trading. This is why VWAP often acts as support or resistance. Institutional algorithms are programmed to protect these levels.

Actual example: Bitfinex’s BTC/USD

• price: $118,940
• VWAP: $118,502

Bitcoin trades for around $438, beyond VWAP. Mild Premium region.

Transactions above VWAP typically show bullish momentum. This means that the average buyer for this session is profitable. This is a strong indicator that demand is currently outweighing supply. However, premiums are not over-excessive, suggesting that movement is still measured rather than euphoric. Several dynamics may be at work:

• Buyers are in controlbut not aggressive. It is a sign of healthy and stable accumulation.
• VWAP may act as dynamic support. If prices recede, the VWAP line could be around $118,502, at a level where buyers would recede.
• There is no clear discount It exists at this point. Traders looking for bargain entries are advised to wait for a potential retest of VWAP.

in short, Bitcoin is currently in a balanced but bullish positionand traders may want to see how prices behave around VWAP and measure whether this move has more legs or is time for breath.

VWAP + Other Indicators: Power Combo

VWAP works even better when combined with other tools.

VWAP + RSI:If the price exceeds VWAP and The RSI shows what was forced to buy. This is a powerful signal you might buy at a temporary peak.

VWAP + Volume: As prices increase volume and approach VWAP, they often show significant levels. Large players may be defending or testing this “fair value” line.

VWAP + Support/Resistance: VWAP often acts as dynamic support for uptrends and resistance for downtrends. It’s like a moving floor or ceiling based on where the actual transaction took place.

Looking at the example of BTC, if the price below the VWAP is $111,080 vs. $111,321 and a strong purchase amount appears as BTC approaches VWAP from below, it could show institutional interest in defending the “fair value” line.

Bonus Read: VWAP + RSI Power Combo

• price: $118,940
• VWAP: $118,502
• RSI: 66.11

This indicates that it contains bitcoin Bullish momentum However, they are approaching the territory they have acquired (RSIs above 70 are usually considered overbuying)

This setup is particularly interesting.

Although the technical indicators are clearly bullish, RSI’s proximity to acquired territory suggests that traders should pay attention to potential pullbacks or integration periods. A VWAP level of $118,502 could serve as a critical support zone if prices decide to retreat from the current level.

Overall, this combination of price action on VWAP and healthy RSI momentum creates a bullish environment for Bitcoin, but the over-conditions approaching suggest that upward movements need to be carefully monitored for signs of momentum fatigue.

Pro tips for using VWAP:

1. VWAP resets daily

Unlike moving averages, which look back on the set count period, VWAP is reset at the start of each trading day. This makes it ideal for day trading and short-term decisions.

2. Don’t fight strong VWAP trends

If prices consistently outperform VWAP with a strong volume, it is often a sign of authentic strength. The market says it is “willing to pay the premium price.”

3. VWAP Touch is golden

When prices drop and bounce to touch and VWAP, they are often a great entry point. The market is testing fair value and finding buyers.

4. Beware of VWAP breaks

If the price exceeds VWAP all day, if it suddenly breaks down with volume, it could indicate a change of emotion. The “fair value” line is violated.

5. Use multiple time frames

• Daily VWAP: Shows Big Picture Fair Value
• Hourly VWAP: Helps accurate entry/exit timing
• Weekly VWAP: Provides a long-term institutional perspective

VWAP Limitations: Things you need to know

VWAP is a powerful tool, but it is important to understand its limitations.

Volume Dependencies: VWAP needs healthy trading volumes to be meaningful. In low-capacity markets or outside of business hours, true fair value may not be accurately reflected.

Keeping behind: During extreme volatility, VWAP can keep up with price movements and may provide outdated information when you need it most.

Short-term focus: VWAP is reset every day and is primarily useful for intraday trading rather than long-term investment decisions.

Not predictive: VWAP shows what happened, not what happened. Don’t assume that prices always return to VWAP. Sometimes the breakouts are genuine and lasting.

04 July Chart Decoder Series: Probabilistic Oscillator – Trader’s Radar for Reversal

Welcome to the Chart Decoder series, a guide to learning the essential tools to accurately read Bitfinex charts.

So far, I’ve learned how to spot trends (SMA/EMA), catch momentum shifts (MACD), and how to recognize excess/sold out zones (RSIs) and volatility extremes (bollinger bands).

So let’s talk about stochastic oscillators. This is an indicator of timing moments “too fast”;

What is a probabilistic oscillator?

Stochastic oscillators measure momentum by comparing the current closing price to the high and low ranges over a set period (usually 14 periods).

It consists of two rows.

• %k (high speed line): The main line responds immediately
• %D (slow line): Moving average %k that smooths noise

Typically, you get a reading between 0 and 100.

• Over 80 (%k): Too much bought. The market may need a breather
• Less than 20 (%k): Overselling. There may be a bounce
• Between 20 and 80:neutral. Prices have moved within recent ranges

Signal Crossover

• %k exceeds %d below 20: Bullish inverted signal
• %k is less than %d above 80: Bearish inverted signal
• If both lines are above 80 or below 20: It’s a strong trend, but it’s also a warning that you won’t get over the welcome. These zones often precede the shift.

Bitfinex BTC/USD example

• price:$102,150.
• Blue (k%):96.49
• Orange (D%):96.47
• There are both rows Excessive zone (Over 80). This often indicates the potential fatigue of current upward movements.

Pumps these days may be overdoing that. When a probabilistic measure makes this higher, it often shows it Buyers may be short of gasand it could be that the pullback is round the corner.

But here’s a twist. In particular, in crypto, excessive acquisitions do not mean “time to sell.” With strong trends, probabilistic momentum indicators may remain high for some time. So, you need more clues before you make a call.

What other metrics are useful?

Stochastic oscillators offer easy reading of extreme extremes, but work even better when paired with other tools.

Moving average of index (EMAS) It helps to zoom out, like 50 or 200. If the BTC is bouncing off, but still below 200 EMA, it could be a short-lived rescue rally, not a true reversal of the trend.

Macd It functions like a momentum compass. Although they say the probability theory is over-bought, if the MACD is gaining strength in the upward direction, that might mean there is room for more driving.

rsiOn the other hand, there are close probabilities. It also flags over and oversell zones, but has a smoother and slower approach. It’s perfect for checking if momentum is built or fading. When used together, RSI and probability theory give you both direction and timing. One shows where the market is tilting. The other one will tell you when you’re coming back.

RSI vs. Probability – What’s the difference?

Both indicate whether the coin is “over-acquired” or “over-selled”, but they work differently.

Bonus Read: When adding RSI to a mix

Layered to double check stochastic signals RSI (14) On the same BTC/USD chart. Here’s what we saw:

• Probabilistic It was over-buyed at 96+.
• rsi I sit comfortably 56.98to the right of the neutral zone.

This difference is interesting. Probability theory says “peak momentum,” but suggests that RSI is there There is still room for moving higher Before the trend is gone.

That discrepancy can often be shown Short-term indecisiveness Or even Opportunity to continueespecially when the volume starts.

So what’s moving? If the RSI breaks past 60 or 70 at a price-holding company, you may see this rally pushed further. However, if the RSI stalls and collapses probabilistically, it could be your early warning light.

Pro-use methods like probability theory:

• Checking is important: Don’t rely solely on probabilistic simultaneousness. Wait for the crossover and check the RSI or MACD.
• Don’t panic at every signal: It’s too much bought and can continue to be bought in a fierce bull market.
• Look for divergence: If the price is new and high but not probabilistic, momentum can fade and a reversal could come.
• Multiple time frames: A 15-minute chart signal makes little sense if every day is still trending.

What you need to know

• Galaxy Watch 8 series shows up in another major leak, as prominent tipster Evan Blass puts out life-like renders via his newsletter.
• The renders allege that the upcoming Galaxy 8 smartwatch will show up as a trio: Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra(2025).
• Samsung is due to launch these watches along with its foldables at the Summer Unpacked, rumored to take place next month.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 leaks keep getting better as we get closer to the rumored launch in early July. This time, prominent tipster Evan Blass posted renders of the alleged smartwatch lineup, giving us a good look at what to expect from this year’s series.

Blass, in his newsletter, posted three images of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 series, showing off their design and potential colorways. Right off the bat, Blass says that the Korean OEM could launch this year’s series as a trio consisting of the standard Galaxy Watch 8, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, as well as the new Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025).

Last week, similar images cropped up online showing off the trio’s design as well as some of its physical buttons. But this is the first time the new Ultra model is being referred to as the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025). Blass’ renders imply that all three watches will sport a squircle design.

Image 1 of 3

To start, the standard Galaxy Watch 8 could allegedly show up in a smoother, less noisy square-ish silver base topped by a circular dial. The Galaxy Watch 8’s design sports a moderate black border/bezel around the face’s circumference. The renders also show two physical buttons on one side.

The renders show the alleged Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in a rugged and thicker, silver and black colorway, sporting what looks like a rotating bezel. It gives us a clear look at two buttons on one side, flanking a smaller orange button, also rumored to be the “Quick” button, possibly giving users access to apps that they use often. Previous leaks suggest that the Classic variant will supposedly arrive in a single size (47mm), with a 1.5-inch display, and will have a 450mAh battery capacity.

As for the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), as the tipster calls it, it could show up in a deep blue colorway with a smoother silver bezel surrounding the dial. It remains unclear if this watch will have a rotating bezel, as it seems to have a much smoother outer bezel without the ridges. The renders show the watch will possess the same two physical buttons seen on the other two models and an additional smaller orange button on one side.

While these are still leaks and need to be taken with a grain of salt, the Galaxy Watch 8 series is expected to debut later this summer during Samsung’s Unpacked, which isn’t too far away.

May 5th Chart Decoder Series: MACD – Momentum Signals to Find Early Entry

Welcome to Chart decoder seriesA step-by-step guide to mastering technical indicators and chart patterns like a professional.

In my previous post, I covered two important tools for understanding trend direction: SMA and EMA. So let’s talk about momentum. Specifically, the method Spot momentum shifts before it appears in the price.

input: MACD (Version of Moving Average Convergence).

What is MACD?

MACD represents the divergence of moving average convergence. Simply put, MACD is a momentum indicator. It shows whether the market is steaming in direction or losing its strength. In other words, “Is the market trying to move?”

Moving averages help you to see where The market is moving forward, MACD tells you how strong the movement is. It is one of the fastest ways to find early signs of a trend shift before prices react completely.

It is made up of three parts.

1. MACD Line (Blue)

Think of this with you Momentum Tracker.

It responds when the direction of the market is beginning to change, indicating whether it is gaining energy or slowing down.

2. Signal line (orange)

This line closely follows the MACD line.

• When the blue line crosses the orange line, it often means that the momentum is moving up (buy the signal)
• A blue line crosses below may mean that momentum is falling apart (sales signal)

3. Histogram bar (red or green bar)

These bars show The distance between the blue and orange lines.

Here’s how to read these:

• Growing bar = more momentum
• Reduced = momentum slows
• Green bar = bullish energy (buyer is active)
• Red bar = Bear pressure (seller is active)

Why use MACD?

MACD is ideal for identifying potential entry points and exit points. That tells you:

• When momentum is picked up
• If the trend is reversed
• When I sit tight and wait

Examples of behavior:

MACD indicator (lower panel)

• MACD Line (Blue): 326
• Signal line (orange): –279
• MACD lines crossed above signal lines: bullish crossover
• Histogram bar is green and growing: momentum is building
• This crossover occurred under the zero line: early signs of trend reversal

Moving Average (Main Chart)

• 20 Days EMA (Blue Line): ~84,067
• 50 Days MA (green line): ~84,170
• Current BTC price: 87,269. BTC price is On top of that Both averages, buyers are controlled and the trend is likely to continue.

Pro tips:
Combine MACD with EMA or SMA for strong confirmation
Use MACD crossover near major support/resistance for higher accuracy
Avoid relying solely on MACD in the landscape market – it can cause false signals

Try it now with Bitfinex:

• Log in to Bitfinex
• Select a trading pair (e.g. BTC/USD)
• From the (Indicator) tab, add “Macd”

Please note:

Bulling signal: MACD line crossing On top of that Signal line
Bearish signal: MACD line crossing Below Signal line
Growth of histogram bars: Trends are gaining momentum
Reducing histogram bar: Trends are slowing down

This practice builds intuition over time, allowing you to act with confidence rather than confusion.

MACD is a favorite among traders for reasons. It provides early insight into changes in momentum before price actions become clear.

MACD vs SMA/EMA: What is the actual difference?

It will be next in the chart decoder series. RSI – How to know when the market knows when it’s an acquisition or overselling.
