Category 1: Bitcoin Market Analysis (~150 Ideas)

Bitcoin represents the core of Arapov's TradingView work — approximately 150 ideas covering every phase of the market cycle from late 2021 through early 2026.

The Crypto Winter Series (2022) — Editor's Pick

The most consequential body of work in the profile is the 2022 Bitcoin sequence. Warning signs of bull market exhaustion were documented starting in late 2021. By May 2022, the publication "Биткоин: Крипто-зима надолго" (Bitcoin: Crypto Winter for a Long Time) earned an Editor's Pick from TradingView's editorial team — 4,746 views and 29 likes, substantial engagement for Russian-language content on an international platform.

What distinguished this call was the multi-asset framework: Bitcoin's decline was connected to gold price dynamics, U.S. dollar strength, and crude oil market signals in a single thesis. The argument — that dollar momentum would sustain pressure across all dollar-denominated risk assets — was confirmed by the crypto winter that followed.

Documented Bitcoin Analysis Timeline

Late 2021 (Oct–Dec): Early publications focused on reading institutional ("whale") intentions through volume analysis. The series "Market Review Bitcoin: Trying to Understand Whale Intentions" (parts 1–3), "Signs of Hidden Asset Accumulation," and daily level analysis established the core methodology: volume-based analysis of institutional behavior at key support and resistance levels.

2022 (Jan–Aug): The most analytically intense period. Bitcoin was tracked from the $46K support zone through its collapse to $18K, with near-daily publications during the most volatile stretches. Key publications:

• "Биткоин будет стоить 1,300,000?" (Jan 28, 2022) — long-term analysis using market profile logic
• "Биткоин: Анализ намерений Китов рынка" (May 14, 2022) — COT analysis of institutional participants
• "Биткоин: Крипто-зима надолго" (May 12, 2022) — the Editor's Pick call
• "Биткоин: обзор долгосрочных перспектив в районе 5к" (Jun 19, 2022) — bearish long-term scenario analysis
• "Учимся использовать медвежий рынок Биткоина" (May 18, 2022) — educational content on futures trading during bear markets

2023 (Apr–Oct): Following consolidation analysis, an accumulation phase forming at the $26K–$30K level was identified. The publication "Биткоин по 45к — Первая цель!" (Jul 19, 2023) called the end of the re-accumulation phase using Wyckoff methodology with a $45K upside target — which the market subsequently reached.

2025–2026: Recent analysis covers the intersection of Bitcoin with Trump administration policies, Federal Reserve decisions, and broader macro conditions. Publications like "Bitcoin and Donald Trump, What to Expect?" and "Bitcoin: Why the $77,000 Level Is the Key to New Growth" reflect the evolution toward integrated macro-geopolitical analysis.

Category 2: Educational Video Series (~25+ Ideas)

Evolution of Analytical Approach: From Volume Trader to Macro Analyst

Reviewing 242 publications chronologically reveals a clear evolution in analytical depth and scope — genuine professional development made visible through public timestamped work.

2021 — Pure volume analysis on a single asset. Early publications were tightly focused: Bitcoin price action analyzed through volume at specific support and resistance levels. Single instrument, single timeframe, single methodology.

2022 — Multi-asset reasoning and COT data. The analytical framework expanded dramatically. The crypto winter Editor's Pick connected BTC with gold, crude oil, and the U.S. dollar in a single thesis. CME Group Commitment of Traders data was integrated for reading institutional positioning across futures markets.

2023 — Structured educational curriculum and Wyckoff systematization. The peak year marked a shift from analyst to educator. The June–July 2023 educational sprint — 28 publications in 5 weeks — produced a structured curriculum that didn't exist at this depth in the Russian-language TradingView space.

2025–2026 — Geopolitical and monetary policy integration. Full macro-analytical maturity. Federal Reserve decisions, Trump administration tariffs and dollar policy, Iran-US geopolitical tensions, cross-asset correlations (Nasdaq-Bitcoin, Dollar-Gold) — all integrated into unified market assessments. This trajectory, from single-asset volume analyst to multi-asset macro educator, is not something that can be fabricated. It's visible in every publication, timestamped and public.

The Methodology Running Through Every Publication

Every one of the 242 ideas applies a consistent analytical framework built on three pillars:

Wyckoff Method and Volume Analysis: Not rigid schematics, but reading institutional intent through accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown phases as they unfold in real time. Divergences between price movement and volume are consistently sought to identify institutional behavior before it becomes visible on the price chart alone.

Smart Money Concepts: Tracking institutional participants through volume footprints, liquidity analysis, and positioning data — smart money, whales, large participants, hedgers.

Cross-Market Correlation Analysis: Connecting dollar index, gold, crude oil, stock indices, and crypto into a unified macro picture. This multi-asset approach produced the most accurate calls, including the 2022 crypto winter thesis that earned the Editor's Pick.

From 242 Public Ideas to Published Books

In 2021, individual market analyses were being shared — timestamped calls on Bitcoin levels. By 2023, the content had evolved into a structured educational curriculum. By 2025, it had matured into multi-asset macro frameworks integrating Federal Reserve policy, geopolitics, and cross-market correlations.

At some point, the volume of educational material created — across TradingView, YouTube, and arapov.trade — reached critical mass. Hundreds of video analyses, 151 articles across three languages, a complete Wyckoff Method course published publicly on TradingView. The question was no longer whether there was enough material for a book. The question was why no book had been written yet.

The books — published with official ISBN numbers through Bowker USA — are not created from nothing. They are the distillation of everything documented here: thousands of hours of public market analysis, a structured educational methodology tested on real students, and a consistent analytical framework refined across 242 published ideas over five years.

"Основы трейдинга" (Trading Fundamentals) grew from the foundational TradingView series of June–July 2023: levels, Price Action, market structure, order flow. "Психология трейдинга" (Trading Psychology) emerged from years of publications where psychology was decisive — the Bitcoin liquidation cascades of 2022, weak-hands-vs.-strong-holders dynamics, drawdown management, stop-loss discipline through real market examples. "Основы трейдинга Том 2" (Trading Fundamentals Volume 2) represents the advanced methodology: Wyckoff, Smart Money, volume analysis.

The books didn't start the educational journey — they formalized it. Today they carry official ISBN registration, are indexed in international bibliographic systems (ISNI: 0000 0005 2951 8564, ORCID: 0009-0003-0430-778X), verified through Wikidata (Q137454477), and the trading psychology book is held in the collection of Ukraine's Vernadsky National Library. The real foundation beneath all of that is the 242 ideas on TradingView — each one a public, dated, verifiable proof of the expertise that went into every page.
