MicroStrategy Incorporated&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46401183/strategy-adds-472-million-in-bitcoin-ups-total-holdings-to-over-600000-btc">is trading higher</a> Monday. It may be breaking the resistance that has been around the $441.50 level.
We have made MicroStrategy our Stock of the Day because breakouts tend to be bullish. There is a good chance it will be followed by a move higher.
Successful traders understand market psychology. For example, they know that one of the reasons why resistance forms is due to remorseful buyers trying to sell. People buy stocks and then regret doing so if price drops after.
Some of them decide that they will hold onto these losing positions, but they also decide that if they can eventually do so, they will exit at breakeven. So, if the stock rallies back up to their buying price they will sell.
If there is a large amount of these sell orders, it will create resistance.

As you can see on the chart, there was resistance for MicroStrategy around $441.40 in November and December. Each time the stock reached this level, it reversed and went lower. When this happened, some of the people who bought shares while the stock was at the resistance decided that buying was a mistake.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14184830/mstr-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-984746" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14184830/mstr-1024x576.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14184830/mstr-300x169.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14184830/mstr-768x432.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14184830/mstr.png 1452w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
So when MicroStrategy recently returned to this level, selling by these remorseful sellers created resistance at the price again.
If the stock can get and hold above this resistance, traders will say it's a ‘breakout'.
This isn't just symbolic. It illustrates an important supply and demand dynamic. It could mean that the traders and investors who created the resistance with their sell orders are out of the way.
They have either finished or canceled their orders.
Regardless of the market, if supply (sellers) is taken out of it, the demand side (buyers) will be forced to be aggressive if they want their orders to be executed.
Buyers will cut ahead of each other and outbid each other in order to draw sellers back into the market. This could force the stock into an uptrend. It may be about to happen with MicroStrategy.

MSTR

Stock Of The Day – Breakout Time For MicroStrategy?

Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) on Monday announced it has added another 4,225 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to its already dominant crypto treasury, spending approximately $472.5 million at an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46397477/bitcoins-123k-boom-meets-crypto-week-blastoff-moment-for-microstrategy-marathon-digital">average price of $111,827 per coin</a>.
The purchase was disclosed Monday morning in a Form 8-K <a href="https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf8d808d9b8cebd37/blt4cc1a0ae496ac9e3/68747439e8921d53d6fa6b41/form-8-k_07-14-2025.pdf">filing</a> with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The acquisition pushes Strategy's total holdings to 601,550 BTC, acquired for roughly $42.87 billion at an average price of $71,268 per Bitcoin. 
The announcement comes amid Bitcoin's recent surge past $122,000, underscoring Strategy's aggressive buy-the-dip approach that now spans across more than three years and multiple bull-bear cycles.
What makes this purchase noteworthy isn't just the size, but the source of the funds: Strategy financed the latest acquisition using proceeds from four concurrent at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings, including its common stock and three series of preferred shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRK#NASDAQ">STRK</a>), (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRF#NASDAQ">STRF</a>) and (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRD#NASDAQ">STRD</a>).

Over the same week, the company raised more than $472 million through those offerings, converting equity capital directly into Bitcoin with little delay.
The company's strategy, blending traditional capital markets with direct Bitcoin accumulation, continues to test conventional corporate treasury management. 
While the firm has become a proxy for institutional Bitcoin exposure on Wall Street, its risk posture remains polarizing. 
Critics warn of overexposure and limited liquidity, while supporters view the firm as an early archetype for how public companies can integrate digital assets into their balance sheets at scale.
Strategy's public dashboard indicates the company has now purchased more than 13,000 BTC in July alone, suggesting that the current accumulation cycle is far from over, even as Bitcoin trades at all-time highs.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) blasted through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46388685/bitcoin-shatters-all-time-high-to-hit-123000-as-ethereum-cracks-3000-and-xrp-taps-3">$123,000 on Monday</a> — just as Capitol Hill kicks off Crypto Week, a rare bipartisan push to pass sweeping digital asset legislation. With the Clarity Act and stablecoin oversight bills set for a vote, investors are eyeing what could be a regulatory green light for serious institutional capital to flood into the space.
And the biggest beneficiaries? Not just Bitcoin itself, but Bitcoin proxies such as Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and miners like MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Miners Could Rocket On Clarity And Short Squeezes</h2>
As of June 30, MARA held 49,940 BTC, yet the stock still carries a massive 26% short interest. If Bitcoin&#8217;s momentum continues and regulation gives Wall Street the green light, MARA could be primed for a short squeeze-fueled breakout. 
Other mining names like Riot Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) and CleanSpark Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLSK#NASDAQ">CLSK</a>) are also poised to benefit from rising Bitcoin prices, especially as institutional traders pile into regulated vehicles like BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>).
The risk? 
Post-halving profitability remains tight for miners. Power costs and potential tariff-driven input inflation could compress margins just as demand spikes. But with Bitcoin hitting all-time highs and regulatory clarity emerging, the market may overlook these near-term headwinds in favor of momentum — and FOMO.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategy's Bitcoin Bet Looks Brilliant — Or Leveraged</h2>
Then there's Strategy, which now holds a staggering 597,325 BTC, valued near $73.5 billion. With Bitcoin's breakout, Michael Saylor's all-in strategy looks vindicated — on paper. But Strategy remains a high-beta play, heavily exposed to Bitcoin price swings and carrying leverage risk. Still, with the stock often moving multiples of Bitcoin's gains, the upside in a regulatory tailwind scenario is hard to ignore.
Social media chatter hints at a potential $2-3 trillion wave of institutional capital waiting for clear rules. If Crypto Week delivers even modest progress, it could set off a moonshot for miners and Bitcoin-heavy stocks.

Shares of crypto-linked stocks and Bitcoin miners are trading higher after Bitcoin rose above $121,000.

U.S. stock futures were lower on Monday after ending on a negative note on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower.
President Donald Trump, in a telephone interview with NBC News' &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; moderator Kristen Welker, asserted that &#8220;The tariffs have been very well received.&#8221; He believes that if a 10% tariff can generate around $300 billion annually, a 20% rate could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46386524/trump-wants-blanket-tariffs-of-up-to-20-after-surprise-treasury-surplus-in-june-ed-yardeni-says-don">double that intake</a>. 
Meanwhile, the European Union was ready with a prepared list of tariffs worth 21 billion euros ($24.52 billion) on U.S. goods if the two sides fail to reach a trade deal, reported Reuters, highlighting Italy&#8217;s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani&#8216;s comments. 
He also issued, latest threats to impose a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46384885/peter-schiff-gives-trumps-30-tariff-threa">30% tariff on all imports</a> from Mexico and the EU. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) scaled fresh highs on Monday as the cryptocurrency hit a fresh high of $123,091.61 per coin.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.42% and the two-year bond was at 3.89%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;s</a> projections show markets pricing a 93.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were lower in premarket on Monday. The SPY was down 0.27% at $621.94, while the QQQ declined 0.27% to $552.73, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From Last Session:
On Friday, while most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed lower, notably financial, health care, and materials stocks recorded the steepest declines, energy and consumer discretionary stocks defied the broader market downturn, concluding the session higher.
This mixed performance occurred a day after the S&amp;P 500 reached a new record high, ultimately leading U.S. stocks to settle lower.
The broader market reflected these losses over the past week, with the Dow Jones dropping 1% and the S&amp;P by 0.3%.
Fueling market jitters, Trump signaled a more aggressive trade stance, announcing a 35% tariff on Canadian imports effective Aug. 1, alongside proposed blanket duties of 15% to 20% on most other trading partners.
In corporate news, WD-40 Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDFC#NASDAQ">WDFC</a>) reported better-than-expected earnings for its third quarter, though its sales figures fell short of estimates.

Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni from Yardeni Research highlighted the surplus of just over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46386524/trump-wants-blanket-tariffs-of-up-to-20-after-surprise-treasury-surplus-in-june-ed-yardeni-says-don">$27 billion in June</a>, reported by the U.S. Treasury Department, saying that Trump "must have loved the headline… ‘Treasury posts unexpected surplus in June as tariff receipts surge."
However, he warned that tariffs are essentially "a tax on U.S. importers," which can erode corporate profit margins and profits. While rebounding productivity growth might offer some offset, the potential impact on businesses remains a significant concern.
Adding about the market reaction to tariffs, Yardeni said, &#8220;The selloffs in the bond and stock markets back then forced Trump to deescalate his trade war. That's not happening now—not so far at least. This undoubtedly is emboldening Trump.&#8221;
Speculating on how the financial markets will respond this week to his latest escalation, Yardeni said that perhaps investors have learned that Trump's huffing and puffing is simply the way he negotiates trade deals.
&#8220;They are betting that it will work and result in lots of deals. They've also learned that Trump can change his mind often. So if some trade deals aren't coming together fast enough, he'll settle on a vague letter of understanding to work out a deal over time.&#8221;
The risk for the economy and investors is that Trump has concluded that if the financial markets aren't going to be vigilant about his trade war, then he can proceed with it unchecked, explained Yardeni. &#8220;If so, then TTT (Trump&#8217;s Tariff Turmoil) will last past the summer.&#8221;
Yardeni said in a LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/trumps-reign-tariffs-aint-over-edward-yardeni-eshve/">post</a>, &#8220;Then again, investors may agree with our current view that &#8216;this too shall pass&#8217; by the end of the summer: The economy will remain resilient, and inflation will remain surprisingly moderate. It all adds up to a relatively normal seasonal pattern, with the stock market weak during the late summer through the fall followed by a year-end rally to 6500 in our scenario.&#8221;

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of July 11, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Strategy shares are trading higher following Bitcoin's rally to all-time highs.

U.S. stock futures declined on Friday after ending marginally higher on Thursday. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower.
After President Donald Trump imposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46334793/trump-sends-lula-a-letter-imposing-50-tariffs-calls-bolsonaro-trial-a-witch-hunt-brazils-president-hits-back-will-not-accept-any-form-of-tutelage">50% tariffs on Brazil</a>, the country&#8217;s President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, issued a warning Thursday about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46359200/brazil-hits-back-at-trumps-tariff-letter-lula-says-if-hes-going-to-charge-us-50-wee-going-to-charge-him-50">potential retaliatory tariffs </a>if the U.S. proceeds with its planned 50% tax on Brazilian imports from Aug. 1.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.38% and the two-year bond was at 3.88%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;s</a> projections show markets pricing a 93.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
As the trade-related tussle evolves with the U.S. trading partners, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates said that &#8220;There is no doubt that the tariffs the Trump Administration is imposing are controversial, but the countries that cooperate with the U.S., like Australia and Britain, are only being hit with 10% baseline tariffs, which should be largely offset by appreciation in the U.S. dollar in the upcoming months.&#8221;
Highlighting that the tariff revenue to the U.S. Treasury soared to $24.2 billion in May and is now expected to soar to $60 billion or higher per month in the upcoming months, he added, &#8220;I remain in the camp that when all the dust settles, there will be freer trade with fewer tariffs, since many countries cannot fight with the U.S.&#8221;
&#8220;Markets appear to have become desensitized to tariff news,&#8221; said Michelle Gibley, director of international research at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. &#8220;There may be some thought that the rates announced won&#8217;t be the final tariffs—some of the figures seem random and part of a negotiation.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research highlighted that the Warren Buffett Indicator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46360976/warren-buffett-indicator-soars-to-208-surpassing-dot-com-2008-levels">hit an alarming valuation</a>, indicating a potentially overvalued market, but the U.S. economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience.
He pointed out a fascinating paradox: "The economy won't let us down. Despite numerous crises, real GDP has remained recession-resistant since the Covid lockdown during the first half of 2020."
He emphasizes nearly six years without a recession, despite significant global challenges such as the pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine, stricter monetary policies, the Middle East war, and the economic disruption caused by Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs.
Indeed, Yardeni argues, "it really has been the Roaring 2020s so far. Real GDP is at a record high and so is the stock market."

Bit Origin Shares Surge 75% Pre-Market As Bitcoin Rallies Past $118,000

BTC Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTCT#NASDAQ">BTCT</a>) surged by over 35% in after-hours trading on Thursday. Renewed momentum in the crypto sector, marked by Bitcoin&#8217;s recent all-time high, is fueling this rally. 
The stock&#8217;s price rose from $3.75 to $5.14, marking a 37.43% increase.
What Happened: The after-hours jump in BTCT&#8217;s stock price follows a period of relative stability. The digital asset platform&#8217;s stock has been <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/BTCT:NASDAQ?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj6z-32nLSOAxVhyjgGHaFXH5sQ3ecFegQIMBAb">trading between $3.42 and $3.85</a> over the past 24 hours, with a previous close of $3.46. The company&#8217;s market cap is currently at $28.19 million.
The surge in BTCT&#8217;s stock price came after the company announced significant progress in its <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/btc-digital-ltd-announces-major-milestone-on-georgia-20-mw-mining-project-and-introduces-advanced-liquidcooling-technology-for-the-first-time-302499947.html">Georgia mining project</a>. The project is set to incorporate liquid-cooling technology, a development that has piqued investors&#8217; interest.

Earlier in 2025, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45374062/btc-digital-expands-proprietary-mining-operations-with-deployment-of-400-new-bitmain-antminer-t21-ma">expanded its proprietary mining operations</a> by deploying 400 new Bitmain Antminer T21 machines, adding about 76 PH/s of Bitcoin mining hash rate. This move was seen as a significant step in BTCT&#8217;s growth strategy.
Why It Matters: The recent gain in BTCT&#8217;s stock price comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a renewed surge. In May, shares of crypto-linked stocks and Bitcoin miners were trading higher after Bitcoin reached a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/05/45560623/shares-of-crypto-linked-stocks-and-bitcoin-miners-are-trading-higher-after-bitcoin-reached-a-new-all">new all-time high</a>, rising above $110,000.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAN#NASDAQ">CAN</a>), and HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIVE#NASDAQ">HIVE</a>).
BTCT&#8217;s recent stock surge also follows a trend of information technology stocks experiencing significant movements. In June, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/movers/25/06/46105069/12-information-technology-stocks-moving-in-wednesdays-after-market-session">12 Information Technology Stocks</a> experienced significant movements in the after-market session, including BTCT and Alpha Modus Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMOD#NASDAQ">AMOD</a>).
Price Action: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btct">Benzinga Pro</a> data, BTCT stock jumped 29.33% after hours to $4.85 following progress updates on its Georgia mining project.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) briefly surged past $112,000 on Wednesday, marking a fresh all-time high and reigniting debate over whether the crypto market is entering a new bullish cycle or settling into a period of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46335745/bitcoin-hits-historic-high-above-112000-noted-investor-says-if-you-cant-beat-it-you-have-to-buy-it">institutional-led maturity.</a>
Unlike past parabolic rises driven by retail speculation, this rally is being described by industry leaders as measured, structurally sound, and driven by long-term forces.
"Bitcoin's appeal as programmable gold is becoming harder to ignore," said Leo Fan, co-founder of compute infrastructure firm Cysic, speaking with Benzinga. "Institutional demand is no longer a prediction—it's here. With ETFs live and global macro tensions rising, Bitcoin is gaining recognition as a long-term hedge."
The current run has seen BTC rise more than 17% year-to-date, closing Wednesday at $110,789 according to Benzinga Pro. But it's not just the price action that's drawing attention, it's the changing nature of the rally itself.
Dan Hughes, founder of Radix DLT, noted that while Bitcoin's new highs are technically significant, the lack of explosive upside momentum may actually be a positive sign. 
"We've been moving sideways for seven months. This kind of stability suggests the price point is sustainable," Hughes told Benzinga. "It's not retail FOMO this time—it's steady accumulation by institutions. And that might be the best thing for Bitcoin's long-term credibility."

Agne Linge, Head of Growth at decentralized finance platform WeFi, said, "Bitcoin's new highs are a result of multiple tailwinds—geopolitical uncertainty, rate-cut expectations, and increased institutional demand. The asset is evolving from speculative play to strategic reserve."
That evolution is becoming visible on corporate balance sheets. 
Japanese firm Metaplanet (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>) has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally, eclipsing Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
Meanwhile, ReserveOne recently announced plans to raise $1 billion for Bitcoin acquisition and a diversified digital asset portfolio, modeled on the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
According to Fakhul Miah, Managing Director at Gomining Institutional, "This isn't just another rally. There's now over $100 billion locked in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs—more than all of Ethereum DeFi. The market is becoming more utility-driven. Tokenized mining, payment rails, and L2 innovations are turning Bitcoin into functional currency, not just digital gold."
On-chain signals also indicate resilience. 
Mining revenues remain healthy, and at the peak of the ordinals boom, transaction fees even exceeded block rewards, a sign that Bitcoin's fee market may support the network as issuance declines over time.
Glassnode data shows the rally still needs to be confirmed by more spot demand.
The analytics firm <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1943291241720136070">noted </a>that while futures cumulative volume delta (CVD) is trending up, indicating aggressive leveraged buying, spot market CVD has been declining for weeks. 
In simple terms, futures traders are buying, but spot market interest, often considered a more reliable signal of organic demand, has been waning. 
Glassnode characterized the rally as &#8220;driven more by leverage than spot demand,&#8221; with low funding rates suggesting the setup isn't overcrowded yet, but remains fragile without a pickup in spot buying.
Ultimately, the consensus is clear: Bitcoin's rise above $112,000 isn't driven by exuberance.
It's grounded in structural change—new investor classes, institutional infrastructure, and macroeconomic shifts aligning in a way that could define a more sustainable future for the crypto asset.

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:48 AM on July 9th, a significant trading signal occurred for Strategy Inc., (MSTR) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $397.40. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in MicroStrategy's stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in MicroStrategy's stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock's overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success
