Risk-On Surge, Bitcoin’s Pullback & Lessons from Losses

Markets kicked off the week with a strong risk-on tone. Gold hit fresh highs, U.S. equities soared to records, and oil rallied on supply concerns and geopolitical headlines. The dollar, meanwhile, slid as traders positioned for a Fed rate cut later this week, with AUD and NZD leading gains on expectations of more Chinese stimulus after weak retail and industrial data.

On the crypto side, Bitcoin is stalling near $117,000 resistance, with a potential retracement toward the $113,000–$114,000 zone lining up with Fib levels and the 200 SMA. This could be a healthy pullback within its September uptrend — or the start of something deeper if buyers don’t step in.

Beyond the charts, a timely reminder: every trader faces losses, especially when transitioning from demo to live accounts. The difference between those who succeed and those who quit often comes down to how they handle those first setbacks.
