Chapter 39:Money and Talent Pour In

Chapter 39: The Chartist’s Eye (2)

I brought up the main screen of the coin exchange, Downbit.

“As you can see, I’ve already deposited money in advance. Here it is.”

When I opened the deposit/withdrawal menu, the amount appeared.

[KRW: 280,000,000]

Exactly 280 million won, without a single won left over.

“Today, I’m planning to do scalping with this for exactly 3 hours.”

A burst of enthusiastic reactions flooded in.

**Altang**: Wow, jackpot lol

**Jjyelmini**: Oh, this looks fun.

**Gaemikkun**: Honestly, it’s been too boring with only long-term investments lately.

**Hahanga**: Heh, we’ll see?

**Jaebeolnam**: Can I promote this link a bit?

The last chat caught my eye.

This was perfect timing.

Even though these people probably wouldn’t stay for long, any extra viewers would still give points from the linked quest. It was better than nothing.

Since the more viewers who followed my scalping and made money, the more points I would get for clearing the quest, there was no reason to refuse.

“Sure, feel free to promote it as much as you want.”

The moment I answered, the number of viewers started increasing rapidly.

Wait, already?

Something felt off, and then Jaebeolnam posted another message.

**Jaebeolnam**: Actually, I already did it lol

“Oh wow, the number of viewers jumped up the second I said that. I’m genuinely surprised. Thank you so much.”

Real-time viewers: 289.

It quickly broke through 300 and reached 350 in an instant.

“Uh… this is a first for me?”

But it didn’t stop there.

320… 335…

It kept climbing before the increase finally slowed down in the 350 range.

**Neubneub**: Oh, so this is that masked guy’s stock broadcast room? Lol

**Ajjaeyo**: The Hahoe mask is growing on me lol

**Helchang**: Damn, that scared me ㄷㄷ

Every new person who entered was surprised by the mask. While I was responding to their reactions, Jaebeolnam posted again.

**Jaebeolnam**: I’m kind of a named user lol

He really was a capable viewer.

And an incredibly helpful one too.

“Welcome to all the new viewers. Wow, Jaebeolnam, you’re seriously amazing. I’m so grateful that today I’ll show you proper scalping technique. I’ll say just one thing: Follow me, and you’ll make money.”

**Jaebeolnam**: Wow, can we really trust that?

“Yes, trust me and just follow along.”

I hoped even one more person would follow.

That way, the viewers would make money, and I would earn points.

**Jaebeolnam**: Got it lol

After reading the chat, Ryu Seong brought up the Bitcoin chart and activated his skill.

<The Chartist’s Eye>

Knowledge he had never learned before flooded into his mind, and it began to take visual form. The chart was a 1-minute candle, and above it, virtual support lines were drawn.

Since these lines were visible only to Ryu Seong’s eyes, the viewers couldn’t see them.

“First, let me draw one line.”

To help the viewers follow along, he actually drew the line on the chart.

“The line I just drew is a support line. Bitcoin is different from stocks. Stocks have real underlying company value. That value is expressed through numbers like earnings reports.”

**Kinggosu**: Exactly, stocks are all about earnings!

**Jusikgwangin**: Just doing long-term based on earnings is enough lol

Ryu Seong nodded at some of the comments.

“Yes, because real earnings exist, long-term investment based on future predictions is possible. However, from a scalping perspective, the accuracy of charts tends to be lower. For example, if a company’s earnings for the quarter are bad, even a section that should act as support on the chart can get smashed through like soft tofu. The chart loses all meaning.”

He emphasized the condition once again.

“Of course, it’s a different story when looking at weekly or monthly charts, but as I said earlier, we’re talking about scalping right now. So please keep in mind that we’re focusing on 1-minute, 3-minute, and 5-minute charts.”

**Altang**: Agreed. Unless it’s a mega-cap stock, charts are pretty useless for mid- and small-caps lol

**Hahanga**: Aren’t charts just for reference anyway?

**Gaemikkun**: There are people who trade purely based on charts though.

**Hahanga**: Huh, that’s interesting lol

**Nallaryu**: What’s different about coins?

It was a good question.

“Yes, Nallaryu, that’s a great question. Bitcoin is a bit different. People call it ‘digital gold,’ but aside from the blockchain technology, there’s practically nothing else to look at right now. Because of that, you could say that without any secondary factors, it moves purely on expectations. Interestingly, this makes the validity of charts much higher for Bitcoin than for stocks.”

The timing was perfect.

“The price is dropping right now, right? It’s about to touch the support line I drew, so I’ll place a buy order in advance.”

He poured the entire 280 million won in one go.

**Altang**: Whoa, Masked Guy, you good?

**Ajjaeyo**: For real…? Lol

**Neubneub**: Holy shit, he’s going all-in with 280 million?

**Donbeolja**: This guy’s on another level ㄷㄷ

Ryu Seong waited calmly.

“It should fill soon.”

Just as he said, the moment the price touched the support line, the full amount was bought.

[Buy order filled.]

[Buy order filled.]

Immediately after, Bitcoin’s price began to rise.

“It bounced off the support line and is going up, right? It’s the most natural thing according to the chart. There’s no need to worry about earnings or anything else, so this part is really convenient and nice. Now, let’s look at the resistance line. Hmm… I’ll check where it got blocked based on yesterday and today’s movement.”

Thanks to the skill ‘The Chartist’s Eye,’ he didn’t even need to think.

Everything was clearly visible.

“Here it is. Bitcoin price at 53.17 million won. This level was hit dozens of times yesterday and the price dropped. Today it’s already been rejected five times and fallen. Well, thanks to that, I got a nice entry at the support line.”

When he drew the line, it became crystal clear.

**Altang**: So, should we sell there?

**Hahanga**: We’ll see? Lol I’m curious.

**Neubneub**: How do you even know where to draw the lines?

**Ajjaeyo**: Reading charts is so hard ㅠㅠ

Ryu Seong answered all their questions.

“Support and resistance are just a hair’s difference apart. So…”

While chatting, about three minutes passed.

The price really climbed up to the resistance level he had mentioned.

53.17 million won.

The Bitcoin he had placed sell orders for earlier began to sell off slowly.

[ Sell order filled… ]

“Easy. Thank you for the 1.7% profit.”

In less than five minutes, a single scalping trade had realized a 1.7% gain.

That amounted to 4,760,000 won in Korean won.

The chat window instantly exploded.

**Jjyelmini**: Crazy, he made 4.7 million won in exactly 3 minutes and 17 seconds?

**Altang**: Reality hitting hard ㄷㄷ

**Neubneub**: This dude’s insane. Can we really copy this?

**Ajjaeyo**: Wow, maybe I should try scalping too lol

**Jaebeolnam**: Oh, I followed and actually made a profit? ㄷㄷ

**Panda**: Brb, gotta change my panties.

Ryu Seong repeated once again.

“I told you from the beginning, right? Just follow me. I’ll print money for you.”

Word must have spread again.

The number of viewers kept rising.

When he came to his senses, it had already surpassed 400.

This was excellent.

The more viewers who made money, the better. Their profits held the same value as advance points, so there was nothing to complain about.

“Alright, let’s look at the flow again.”

As he stared at the chart, his skill automatically analyzed and organized everything. Even though he had never learned it before, the knowledge poured out of his mind nonstop.

These pieces of information settled into orderly places, and he gradually adapted more and more to ‘The Chartist’s Eye.’

“It looks like it’ll come down once more.”

He checked the daily chart flow.

He observed the 1-minute and 3-minute charts and didn’t miss the 5-minute chart either.

The conclusion was clear.

“I’ll buy again at the same price.”

He placed a buy order at the same support line as before.

*

Buy of 284.76 million won.

Sell at the resistance line.

Profit rate: 1.1%.

Profit: 3,132,360 won.

“Buying again.”

Buy of 287.89 million won.

Sell at the resistance line.

Profit rate: 1.79%.

Profit: 5,153,273 won.

“It touched the resistance, right? Selling now.”

Buy of 293.04 million won.

Sell at the resistance line.

Profit rate: 1.63%.

Profit: 4,776,605 won.

“Are you all following along well?”

In just 30 minutes, he had successfully completed five scalping trades and cut loss on one.

The success rate was a whopping 80%.

**Altang**: Does this even make sense?!

**Jjakbal**: Wow, 25 million won in 30 minutes? lol

**Kilimanjarro**: Damn, that’s insane! Straight fire!

**Nunkkeuge Tteora**: Chills all over…!

Thanks to the god-like scalping, the viewer count exceeded 470.

The majority were cheering and expressing amazement.

25 million won in 30 minutes.

Assuming he continued trading non-stop for 3 hours, with compound gains, he would roughly make around 200 million won.

Just 200 million won in only three hours.

It was truly an enormous amount.

And what if the seed money he started with had been ten times larger from the beginning? He could have made 2 billion won in three hours.

“Even I have to admit, this is impressive.”

On top of that, the linked quest was still active.

It was a golden opportunity to gain roughly 15 points.

Or possibly even more, all at once.

Not a single minute or second could be wasted.

“Alright, let’s take another look.”

He raised his concentration to the maximum.

After checking the minute charts, he looked at the daily flow again.

Nothing had changed from before.

Then, the moment he glanced at the weekly chart, something he had missed caught his eye.

The momentum was stronger than he had thought.

On the weekly chart, it had hit the bottom and was now in an upward rebound trend. He carefully examined the chart once more and drew a new line.

“Huh, this…

---

Then it became even clearer.

The upward price movement.

It looked exactly like the final gathering of energy right before an explosion.

“It’s a triangle convergence. It looks like it’s about to break through the resistance line soon?”

The Chartist’s Eye analyzed the chart.

This overwhelming talent, which predicted future prices with high probability, showed him the path forward.

“I’m buying now. Everyone following along?”

He bought 305 million won worth of Bitcoin at 52.35 million won.

[Buy order filled.]

The entire amount was executed.

Soon after, the price dipped slightly as if breaking through the support line, then surged upward again.

“I mentioned it was a triangle convergence, right? Just trust me and follow along. The accumulated energy is about to burst. It will definitely break through the resistance line I drew. After that, it’s going to rise quite a lot, so you need to get on board without being late.”

Before long, it reached the resistance line.

Item: Bitcoin (BTC)

Purchase Amount: 305,651,790 won

Profit Rate: 1.68%

Unrealized P&L: 5,134,950 won

Total Valuation: 310,786,740 won

The profit was already at 1.68%.

It was at a price where he could sell, but as he had said, he decided to hold and watch.

**Altang**: I believe in you, Masked Man!

**Danmuji**: What’s “Gamen” lol

**Altang**: Masked Man + Amen. Shortened to Gamen lol

**Naega Gosu**: Following along^^

**Gaemikkun**: Let’s gooooo!

**Altang**: Come on, break through already!

**Jjakbal**: Is it going? Is it going?!

A moment later, the price hit the resistance and fell back down.

“It’s okay. Not yet.”

It shook a little, then surged toward the resistance once more.

It got rejected, fell, got rejected again, and fell.

“It’s going to go up soon. Just hold on and endure it.”

In the blink of an eye, a massive green candle shot up, completely jumping over the resistance line.

“Whew, there we go.”

Now the resistance line had turned into support.

It dipped slightly, received support, and then began a powerful explosive rise.

**Altang**: Insane!!! It’s actually going?!

**Muljwoyo**: Whoa… ㅠ I should’ve followed…!

**Jurining**: Heh, as expected

**Jjakbal**: The God of Scalping! A god has appeared!

Quite a few viewers were cheering wildly. Some who had only been watching started shedding tears.

“It’s moving properly now. You still shouldn’t sell yet. Looking at the weekly chart, it’s open all the way up to 57 million won. Of course, it won’t go there in one shot, so I’ll continue scalping from here as well. Alright, let’s draw the lines. Since the trend has changed, it’ll look like this.”

A new first resistance line appeared.

“It looks like it will pull back once around 54.95 million won. I’ll set my sell order at that level.”

**Altang**: But if so many people are scalping like this, won’t the chart collapse?

“It’s fine. Bitcoin moves according to the US market anyway. Even if thousands of retail traders like us pile in, it won’t make any difference.”

**Altang**: Ohhh…!

After casually chatting for about five minutes, the price reached the expected level.

Item: Bitcoin (BTC)

Purchase Amount: 305,651,790 won

Profit Rate: 4.71%

Unrealized P&L: 14,396,199 won

Total Valuation: 320,047,989 won

The profit had already reached a level that couldn’t be ignored.

“I’ll sell now. If it drops, I’ll buy again.”

The Bitcoin sell orders he had placed at 54.95 million won began to fill one after another.

[Sell order filled.]

In the end, he secured a clean 5% profit in one go.

Remaining time: about 2 hours and 10 minutes.

He had to make as much profit as possible within that time.

The cryptocurrency bulletin board was on fire for the first time in a while.

Title: Is it finally going…?!

Title: I’ve waited so long, for real ㅠㅠ

Title: I told you! I told you!

Title: Ugh, here come the “I told you so” guys again lol

Title: Who cares? If it goes up, that’s all that matters lol

Title: All you short sellers can just die lol

Title: Let’s gooooooooo!!!!

Title: Sorry, gotta go change my panties!

At first, it rose for that reason.

However, the upward momentum wasn’t that strong, so things quieted down again.

Title: Guys, do you know about the “information merchant”?

Then, one post caught everyone’s attention.
