Technical education is emerging as a critical priority for Filipino investors as persistent global market volatility exposes widespread gaps in risk management and trading discipline, according to Arlone Abello, crypto educator, market analyst, and Chief Executive Officer of Global Miranda Miner Group (GMMG).
To address this, GMMG has rolled out the Crypto Technical Analyst Executive Course, with support from the Philippine Digital Asset Exchange (PDAX). This face-to-face training program is specifically designed to fortify technical analysis skills, instill risk discipline, and improve trading execution for participants navigating highly volatile market conditions.
“Volatility frequently shocks the community. Filipino investors and traders need to understand that crypto markets are not just about price prediction. They require a solid grasp of support and resistance levels, risk-reward balance, and how to manage exposure under fast-changing conditions, as well as the ability to recognize risks unique to each digital asset,” said Abello.
The push for technical education comes amid continued instability in cryptocurrency markets, with Bitcoin shedding more than half of its value from its peak last year and recording steep sell-offs in 2026, including a major intraday crash in early February and large-scale liquidations in May.
These downturns have heavily impacted both novice and seasoned traders in the Philippines. Despite the volatility, the country remains one of the world’s most active crypto markets, with an estimated 22-23% of the population holding digital assets.
Abello emphasized that while many traders enter the market during bullish cycles, they are often unprepared for inevitable corrections. A lack of technical strategy combined with emotional decision-making typically leads to severe losses.
“Beginners and experienced traders should understand that crypto success depends on risk appetite and time tolerance. Our mission in launching the executive course is to educate traders before they trade,” he added.
The course is built around GMMG’s proprietary FEAST Trading System and covers structured methodologies in technical analysis, market psychology, risk management, and disciplined trading execution. Participants undergo hands-on mentorship sessions with instructors and fellow practitioners on how to interpret market behavior, identify trading opportunities, manage portfolio risk, and develop strategies applicable across digital assets.
In addition to technical analysis education, participants were introduced to legitimate pathways for participating in financial markets. Discussions covered both growth-oriented digital assets and more conservative investment options, including fixed-income instruments such as Retail Treasury Bonds (RTBs) available on regulated platforms like PDAX.
The inaugural batch of the course concluded at the PDAX Office in Pasig City, where PDAX hosted the session, with 30 participants completing the program. The diverse cohort included professionals from law enforcement, healthcare, engineering, law, entrepreneurship, and the maritime sector, as well as recent university graduates.
In response to strong demand, the second batch is scheduled for July 11–12, 2026. GMMG plans to expand the program to Cebu, Davao, and Baguio later this year.
