Trading a Hot Market w @dentoshi https://t.co/CWjpvv5TRx

— Kraken (@krakenfx) July 18, 2025

Here’s what we learned:

Start with the trader, not the chart

Before opening a single chart, Dentoshi recommends a quick weekly vibe check.

“How did I perform last week? Was I emotional? Did I feel FOMO? Did I skip obvious trades or chase bad ones?”

Dentoshi keeps her weekly journaling short and focused – no six-hour essays – but always tracks:

  • What setups worked best (and why)

  • What trades did she skip that ended up working out perfectly according to her plan

  • Her emotional state during winners and losers

The goal? Spot repeatable patterns and start the week with self-awareness, not baggage.

It signals market consolidation, a pause before a potential breakout.

There are 3 types:

• Symmetrical

• Ascending

• Descending

Build your plan before the market does it for you

Dentoshi’s weekly setup begins with anchoring the big picture:

  • Chart the Weekly Close

  • Mark Key Levels – Yearly, quarterly and weekly opens, plus historic support/resistance.

  • Add EMAs – She uses exponential moving averages (like the 100 EMA) to track trend strength.

  • Set Alerts – For breakout levels, EMA tags, or fresh all-time highs – “Save your headspace” by letting alerts do the watching.

“You don’t want to keep scrolling through charts all day. I mean, I do – but I also want alerts.”

Build a watchlist that works

When it comes to tracking potential trades:

  • Keep an active watchlist (~7–10 assets you’re closely watching)

  • Maintain a broader watchlist for key majors or narrative-driven plays

  • Use Kraken Pro’s Markets tab to monitor sector performance (memecoins, DeFi, etc.)

  • Set chart-level favorites so key assets are always a click away

Her strategy here? Focus on setups that align with her proven playbook.

“I know which setups I win on — I want to see those setups again.”

Timing sector rotations

With the altcoin market heating up — XRP hitting ATHs, ETH recovering, and meme coins pumping — Dentoshi suggests zooming out and using indicators like:

  • BTC dominance and ETH/BTC charts as indicators of altcoin strength

  • EMAs to gauge potential trend flips

  • Volume rankings to spot outliers

If Doge is breaking long-held trendlines and nobody’s talking about it?

“That’s when you want to pay attention.”

Turn patterns into conviction

Dentoshi’s edge comes from naming, journaling, and repeating her highest-conviction setups. Examples include:

  • Diagonal breakouts

  • Reclaim patterns

  • Range low deviations

  • EMA crossovers

“The patterns show up all the time. But if you’ve named them, reviewed them and traded them before – that’s when you trust the setup.”

She doesn’t care what the asset is – only that it’s liquid, has volume and aligns with her triggers.

Tools of the trade

Here’s Dentoshi’s minimal but mighty toolkit:

  • Kraken Pro for trading, charting, watchlists, and alerts

  • Coinalyze for futures volume insights

  • Twitter Lists for cutting out “moonboy” noise

  • Excel for lightweight journaling

  • Your own intuition, shaped by journaling and prep

“Have 25 people you trust. Scroll your list, not your feed.”

Pro tips for heated markets

  1. Don’t size up at the top As Dentoshi referenced from GCR, “Size up at the beginning of a move. Size down toward the end.” This is easier said than done, and most people do the opposite.

  2. Separate trades from investments Dentoshi splits her portfolio into trading and conviction investments, with different rules for each.

  3. Define exits with context Exits depend on positioning, macro sentiment, using S/R and belief in the asset. Stick to the plan: There’s no perfect top, only a well-informed strategy.

  4. Stay honest Regular review, even if short, keeps ego in check. “No plan survives contact with the market – unless it’s yours.”
