Another day, another hot sector crossing my radar!
This week has been declared “Crypto Week” in Washington…
The House of Representatives will consider three separate bills that could change the game for crypto assets in the U.S.
And Bitcoin has been loving it!
Take a look at this chart that shows Bitcoin performance over the past seven years, and particularly the spike since Trump took office…
If you’re looking for big wins like Bitcoin and other crypto stocks have seen lately, look no further than my Monday Morning Setup.
This pattern often delivers bigger gains in one morning than most people see in a month!
And right now, we’re offering the Monday setup for just $7!
That’s an 85% discount off the regular price.
This was originally a Memorial Day special, but the Setup became so popular that we kept the deal going.
It won’t be around forever though…
So, check out the Monday Setup ASAP in my video tutorial below.
With all the excitement going on in crypto-land, the big question for you is, “What should I trade?”
No worries!
Cryptocurrency is digital money, but most people aren’t using it to buy coffee.
For traders and investors, crypto isn’t just a payment tool. It’s a speculative digital asset, traded much like stocks.
And it’s not just small-time traders jumping in…
Major players like Tesla, Block Inc., Fidelity, and PayPal have all staked claims in the crypto world.
And the launch of several Bitcoin futures ETFs was a huge move, bridging the gap between Wall Street and the crypto space.

What Makes Crypto Unique?
Cryptocurrencies are digital assets secured by cryptography, making transactions both encrypted and secure.
But here’s what makes them stand out: decentralization.
Unlike traditional currencies, crypto doesn’t rely on central banks or governments. Instead, it runs on decentralized networks, giving power to the users, not institutions.
Right now, the entire crypto market is valued at roughly $3.8 trillion.
But before you get too excited, crypto isn’t all rocket ships and moon memes…
It’s wildly volatile. That volatility is what attracts traders, but it’s also what can blow up accounts if you’re not careful.
Some Tickers on My List
There are thousands of cryptocurrencies.
Most of them? Trash. Noise.
But here are some that I’m currently watching.
Higher-priced stocks like MARA Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) and Applied Blockchain Inc. (NASDAQ: APLD) are better suited for swing trading, where you might be waiting days, or even a few weeks, for big returns.
Others are penny stocks that are day-tradable only. As with all pennies, don’t get attached to the name. It’s all about the price action. These businesses might not be around next week.
Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN):
CAN is a China-based company that designs and sells blockchain servers and ASIC microprocessors, primarily used for Bitcoin mining.
This company is well-known in the mining hardware space.

Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA):

Crypto Trading: What You Need to Know
The number one mistake I see from new traders is that they treat crypto like stocks.
Here’s why that’s dangerous:
- Crypto trades 24/7: No weekends off, no market close. That means you can wake up to big wins… or a blown-up account.
- Price swings are brutal: 20%, 50%, even 100% moves happen fast.
- No clear regulation: There’s no SEC safety net here. That means opportunity, but also higher risk.
If you’re a trader who loves fast movers, crypto’s gonna catch your eye. But volatility cuts both ways.
Get the timing right and you could grow your account fast…
But get it wrong, and you could lose everything just as quickly.
That’s why risk management is non-negotiable
All Our Day Trade Patterns Work Here Too
Everything I teach about patterns in stock trading? They translate over to crypto.
Clean setups matter, no matter the market.
- Breakouts: Consolidation, then a rip-up.
- Dip buys: Pullbacks to key support levels can offer great entries.
- Momentum trades: Trend-following setups are real in crypto, especially on strong news or catalysts like we have this week.
Just like with stocks, focus on repeatable, high-probability setups.
My Final Thoughts…
Should you trade crypto?
Yes, but only if you’re willing to treat it like a business.
Crypto is one of the most exciting, fast-moving markets out there…
But don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s easy money.
If you’re disciplined, informed, and strategic, there’s an opportunity.
If you’re emotional, impulsive, or just chasing hype, you’ll get burned.
- Have a plan: Entry, exit, risk, all defined up front.
- Stay focused: Don’t chase every shiny crypto.
- Keep learning: This market evolves fast. So should you.
- Respect the volatility: It can build your account… or destroy it.
If you treat crypto like a casino, you’ll lose like a gambler.
But if you treat it like a business, with structure, discipline, and strategy, you can build long-term success.
