SWING TRADING STRATEGY 📊📉

One of the strategies I personally use for swing trading is as follows: First, I visit CryptoRank and check the ecosystem section. On that site, there are many ecosystems listed, and I specifically look for those where the TVL (Total Value Locked) percentage is increasing. As we know, TVL refers to the total value of assets locked within a DeFi ecosystem — which involves activities like trading, staking, lending, and borrowing, essentially anything financial that takes place on the blockchain. Why check TVL? If TVL is increasing, it shows growing interest from users in that ecosystem at that particular time. Rising interest leads to increased liquidity and volume, which implies that more money is flowing into the ecosystem. So, when I notice a significant rise in TVL percentage, I head over to DeFiLlama to examine the actual growth and activity. I assess the cash inflow and outflow. If I'm satisfied, I then look for 2 or 3 tokens within that ecosystem and begin analyzing them. Note...

TVL is an acronym that stands for Total Value Locked . TVL refers to the total value of assets locked in a DeFi protocol on a particular blockchain or ecosystem. It reflects how much capital is currently active within a DeFi protocol of a specific ecosystem, which includes lending, borrowing, staking, yield farming, etc. A high TVL on a project indicates how much trust people have in it and how it can be seen as a safer place for investment. Before going further, let me explain some key terms for better understanding: ECOSYSTEM: This refers to any network built on a blockchain that contributes to its functionality. An ecosystem includes users, developers, dApps, tools, protocols, DeFi platforms, smart contracts, etc. Each blockchain has its own ecosystem, like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Base, Sui, etc. PROTOCOLS: These are sets of rules built into smart contracts that allow users to perform specific actions like staking, lending, borrowing, trading, etc. Protocols work like ...
