Crypto and stock trading is gaining momentum
Momentum has returned to crypto and equity day trading as volume returns after the June slump. Focusing on high-volume breakouts using the 5-minute and 15-minute charts is a powerful strategy. Stocks such as Nvidia and Coinbase are showing strong consolidation followed by explosive moves. To gain momentum, keep an eye on volume peaks above the 20-candle average and maintain a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Instruments and risk management
Combine VWAP and EMA20 to guide entry and exit points. Crypto traders can use this for SOL, BTC and ETH, which show intraday breakout potential. Measure your position: Take 50% profit on 1R and leave the rest.
Avoid overtrading – enter only when volume and price match. This strategy works best during ETF or news driven movements. Be careful because it’s easy to get caught up in market momentum when the momentum slows.
