Persistent volatility in cryptocurrency markets is prompting more Filipino traders to seek structured education in technical analysis and risk management, as market participants look to navigate sharp price swings with greater discipline.

According to Global Miranda Miner Group (GMMG), demand for formal trading education has increased as prolonged market instability highlights weaknesses in risk management, trading psychology and execution among both novice and experienced investors.

To address the growing need, GMMG has launched its Crypto Technical Analyst Executive Course with support from the Philippine Digital Asset Exchange (PDAX). The face-to-face programme is designed to strengthen participants' technical analysis capabilities, improve risk management practices and enhance trading execution in 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 recognise risks unique to each digital asset," said Arlone Abello, crypto educator, market analyst and CEO of GMMG.

The initiative comes against the backdrop of continued turbulence in cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin has lost more than half of its value from its previous peak and has experienced sharp sell-offs during 2026, including a significant intraday decline in February and widespread liquidations in May.

Despite the volatility, the Philippines remains among the world's most active cryptocurrency markets, with GMMG estimating that around 22% to 23% of the population owns digital assets.

Abello said many investors enter the market during bullish periods but lack the preparation needed to manage inevitable corrections, often leading to substantial losses driven by emotional decision-making rather than disciplined strategies.

"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 programme is built around GMMG's proprietary FEAST Trading System, covering technical analysis, market psychology, risk management and disciplined trading execution. Participants receive hands-on mentorship from instructors and fellow practitioners, learning how to interpret market behaviour, identify trading opportunities, manage portfolio risk and develop strategies applicable across digital assets.

Alongside technical trading concepts, the course also introduces participants to regulated investment opportunities. Sessions include discussions on both higher-growth digital assets and more conservative instruments, including Retail Treasury Bonds (RTBs) available through regulated platforms such as PDAX.

The inaugural course concluded at the PDAX office in Pasig City, with 30 participants completing the programme. Attendees represented a range of professions, including law enforcement, healthcare, engineering, law, entrepreneurship and the maritime industry, alongside recent university graduates.

Following the initial intake, GMMG has scheduled a second cohort for 11-12 July and plans to expand the programme to Cebu, Davao and Baguio later this year as it seeks to broaden access to structured crypto education across the Philippines.

Founded in 2021, GMMG provides crypto education through courses, mentoring programmes, virtual boot camps and online livestreams. PDAX, meanwhile, operates a regulated digital assets platform that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies and invest in tokenised bonds through its partnership with bonds.ph Inc.
