Crypto Bubbles Trading Rules

Find the mover. Wait for the structure.

Use Crypto Bubbles as the radar, not the trigger. The bubble tells you what is moving. TradingView and the analyser decide whether the move is a clean stair-step, an explosive gainer, or a fast chase setup.

4h Breakout / Pullback Rules

Cleaner setup
Market-cap rank target Mostly rank 1–300. Sweet spot: 50–250.
  • Use the 1D bubbles as your main scanner.You are looking for coins that are moving today, not entries to buy instantly.
  • Look for +5% to +15% daily movers.Strong enough to matter, but not usually so extended that the whole move is already gone.
  • Check the 1W bubble before opening the chart.Prefer coins that are green on the week as well as green on the day.
  • Reject elevator moves.Avoid huge vertical candles, messy wicks, and coins sitting miles above the 10/20MA.
  • Use the 4h chart to decide the trade.Require a stair-step: push, pullback, higher low, then another push.
  • Wait for a proper entry.Pullback to 10/20MA, breakout retest, tight consolidation breakout, or key-level reclaim.
  • Place the stop under real 4h structure.Use the pullback low, higher low, retest low, or 20MA area. If the stop is too wide, the entry is too late.
  • Let the daily chart guide the hold.The 4h chart gives the entry; the daily trend tells you whether it is worth holding longer.

1h Explosive Gainer Rules

Higher risk
Market-cap rank target Usually rank 100–500. Smaller size below rank 300.
  • Use the 1H bubbles to find active explosions.This is a fast momentum scan, not a relaxed swing-trade scan.
  • Best scan zone: +8% to +25% on 1H.Below that may be early interest; above that is often already very hot.
  • Prefer coins also green on 1D.Avoid coins that only have a single random 1H spike with no wider strength.
  • Never buy the first vertical candle.The first spike is the alert. The first controlled pullback is where the trade may appear.
  • Use the 1h chart to find structure after the spike.You want a big push, pause, higher low, and possible second push.
  • Wait for a momentum entry.First pullback, breakout retest, flag breakout, or higher-low bounce.
  • Stop below real 1h structure.Use the pullback low, flag low, higher low, or retest low. If the stop is huge, it is too late.
  • Take profits faster.Explosive gainers can reverse violently. If it loses 1h structure, exit rather than hoping.

Extended Candle Chase Rules

Fastest setup
Market-cap rank target Usually rank 100–500. Use tiny size below rank 300–400.
  • Use on already-hot 1H movers.Best candidates are usually +15% to +50% on 1H, not slow early movers.
  • Drop to the 5m or 15m chart.The 1h chart may look too extended; the smaller timeframe tells you whether there is a precise entry.
  • Do not chase the vertical candle itself.The big candle is the alert. The first structure after the candle is the possible trade.
  • Wait for one of three entries.Micro pullback bounce, tight flag breakout, or failed pullback reclaim.
  • Use the 1% delta stop as an emergency brake.Still assume slippage, wicks, and stop noise are possible on violent movers.
  • Take partial profit quickly.First trim at +3% to +5%; reduce risk sharply or move to breakeven around +5% to +8%.
  • Only hold for +15% to +20% if it keeps stair-stepping.The big target is earned by higher lows. If the 5m/15m structure breaks, exit.
  • Avoid repeated revenge re-entries.Re-enter only if it forms a fresh base. Otherwise the 1% stop becomes death by a thousand cuts.
Extended candle principle: do not chase the candle. Chase the first structure after the candle.

A 1% delta stop can make the risk/reward look excellent, but the edge still comes from a precise smaller-timeframe entry and fast profit management. The stop is not the strategy; it is the emergency brake.

Percentage movers: from useful strength to dangerous heat

The stronger the bubble, the more attention it deserves — but also the more careful the entry needs to be. The aim is to catch controlled momentum, not chase a coin after everyone else has already piled in.

+5% to +8%

Early interest

Worth watching, especially if the 1D and 1W charts are turning up. Not usually an explosive-gainer entry yet.

+8% to +15%

Best hunting zone

Strong enough to matter but often not completely blown out. Look for the first pullback or tight consolidation.

+15% to +25%

Hot momentum

Can still be tradeable, but only after structure forms. This is where the chase strategy may start to apply.

+25% to +50%

Extreme move

Usually watch first. Trade only after cooling off, a clean flag, a reclaim, or a proper higher-low setup.

+50%+

Danger zone

Mostly watch-only unless deliberately scalping. Slippage, wicks, and reversals can overwhelm a neat 1% stop idea.

Market-cap rank: what it tells you

Rank is a rough liquidity and danger filter. Lower-ranked coins can move further, but they are also more likely to fake out, wick violently, have poor spreads, or reverse without warning.

Rank 1–100

Cleaner and more liquid. Best for steadier 4h breakout trades and longer holds, although the percentage moves may be smaller.

Rank 101–200

Probably the best balance: still reasonably liquid, but capable of stronger moves. Excellent hunting ground for 1h and 4h setups.

Rank 201–300

Tradeable, but be stricter. You want clean volume, clean stair-steps, and candles that are not full of huge wicks.

Rank 301–400

High-risk momentum zone. Better for short-term 1h and chase trades than relaxed 4h holds. Use smaller size and faster profit-taking.

Rank 400–500

Speculative but still possible for explosive-gainer and chase trades. Only take the cleanest structures and avoid repeated re-entries.

Rank 500+

Assume hot-stove momentum. Can produce huge gains, but the fakeout and liquidity risk is much higher. Mostly avoid or use tiny size.

Bottom line: for 4h breakout trades, focus mostly on rank 1–300. For 1h explosive gainers and extended candle chase trades, you can scan rank 100–500, but the further below rank 300 you go, the smaller and faster the trade should be.
