SWALLOW ACADEMY BLOGS
Here you’ll find a collection of blogs we’ve shared over time — all related to crypto and trading. Most of them focus on explaining the trades we’ve taken, why we took them, and what we were looking at. It’s not just theory — we show our actual thinking so you can understand how we operate.
Some of the blogs are member-only, especially the ones that go deeper into strategy or contain sensitive material from our private sessions. But we’ve kept a good portion for public too, so anyone can get value and learn from how we approach the market.
Whether you’re here to study, improve, or just see how we work — feel free to go through the posts. Everything here is straight from our experience.
Inside the SCA Weekend Gap Indicator
Crypto never closes, but the weekend still leaves a mark. Price drifts away from where it sat on Friday, and more often than not it comes back to that level before the week is out.. That round trip is the weekend gap, and it is one of the more dependable tendencies in the market. The SCA Weekend Gap Indicator marks it for you and tracks whether it fills. This post shows what the tool draws, the one number that makes it useful, and how we trade around it with our Setup 3 and S

Inside the SCA Structure Break Indicator
Free tool · Swallow Crypto Academy Most traders lose the trend in the noise. Price is breaking levels constantly, and it's hard to tell which break actually matters. We built the SCA Structure Break Indicator to do one job, cleanly: mark the moment price breaks a confirmed swing point — a Structure Break — so you stop guessing where structure shifted and start reading it. This post shows what the tool does, how to set it, and — just as important — how we read its signals with

Body vs Wick: How We Read Conviction and Liquidity
Most traders look at a candle and see one thing. Is it green, or is it red. We read two stories in it. The body is conviction. The wick is liquidity. But here is the part almost nobody trades correctly: a strong candle does not tell you the move is real. The candle after it does.

Round Number Magnets: Why Price Is Drawn to Clean Levels
Price often stops, bounces, or reverses at clean numbers. Bitcoin reaching 100,000. A coin pausing at 3,000. It looks like the market suddenly cares about a number with a lot of zeros. It is not luck, and it is not magic. It is where the big money sits.

Anatomy of a Candle: The First Skill in Candle Psychology
Most traders look at a candle and only see price going up or down. But a candle holds far more than that. It is a record of a fight between buyers and sellers. Once you learn to read that fight, the chart becomes much easier to understand. This is the first skill we teach. Everything else is built on top of it. What a Candle Is Made Of Every candle covers one piece of time. One minute, one hour, one day. It depends on the timeframe you are watching. In that time, the candle r
