Are you still in love with the crypto markets, or has that love disappeared? What an interesting week it's been. Let's talk about this and more right now.

Hey traders, Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach, with video and podcast number 455.

An Incredible Week in the Crypto Markets

As a crypto trader, if you're into cryptos, what a incredible week this has been. Probably not that great if you're a traditional way of trading the crypto markets. I was going to be talking about short timeframe charts this week. We've had one of our clients taken 15 trades this week on the 15 minute charts, and he's up over 6%. But I'm going to cover that next week because I really want to talk about cryptos being so topical right now.

Billions wiped off the market in the last day

So, what's happened? Well, billions have been wiped off the crypto market just in the last few days. Ethereum has plunged by 20% in the last day, in the last 24 hours, 20%. Bitcoin in the last day is down 11%, and 200 billion has been wiped off the crypto market in the last day. 200 billion, with a B, dollars. Incredible. That's just in the last day.

LUNA, it's called ADA/USD, if you see it on your charts, it's called LUNA. It's down 99% in the last 48 hours. I've just looked at my charts. If you went back to the 5th of April of this year, just over a month ago, it was at $119, 5th of April. Today, 13th of May, it's been as low as 0.001 of a dollar. I think that's a 10th of 1 cent. So it's gone from that on the 5th of April, $119, to today, 13th of May 2022, 0.001 of a dollar. That's incredible.

401k becomes the 301k in the US

I've also read an article regarding the US Retirement Funds, called the 401(k), which they call it over there. I've seen people now calling it the 301(k), a bit of tongue in cheek, but the reason they've done that is because 7 trillion, with a T, $7 trillion has been wiped off the stock market just this year. And we're not even in mid-May, so it's not looking great, is it?

All is not lost

But as always, we try to find solutions to these things. It is not all doom and gloom if you learn to trade your cryptos or your other markets the way that we trade, and to trade them with the leverage through the Forex markets or through the Forex brokers. The reason for that is quite simple.

We can buy and also sell Cryptos

We can buy and we can sell. We can go long. We can go short. And we can do that on cryptos as well. So for example, if you saw Ethereum or Bitcoin or even LUNA dropping, and you saw a reason to take a short position or a sell, we can jump straight into the market, or a limit order, a stop order, whichever you want, but you can get into the market and you can sell that crypto.

And that is the difference with this, as opposed to going out there and mining,
