It's not the candlestick chart that deceives you; it's that you haven't understood the market logic.
Today, let's talk about a hard truth:
'Price is always determined by the anxious people.'
[01] Price changes do not come from 'random guesses'
Why does the price of the coin rise? Why does it fall?
It's not about who shouts louder, nor which side has more orders.
but by 'who is more anxious.'
→ Those who are eager to buy directly consume the sell orders above, causing the price to rise;
→ Those who are eager to sell directly consume the buy orders below, causing the price to drop.
Eating orders = bringing real transactions = the direct driving force of price changes.
[02] Is going long and going short always equal?
Yes.
There is always one buy and one sell that constitutes a 'transaction.'
When you see someone going short, it's because someone else is going long on the other side;
You want to short, but no one is willing to take your order? Sorry, hanging it there is useless, it won't transact.
In the crypto world, there is no 'I short, I win'—only 'I eat, you lose.'
[03] Short/Long sizes do not equal directional predictions.
What you see on the platform as so-called 'long sizes' and 'short sizes'
It's just the buying and selling intentions hanging there; no transactions have occurred.
This is called a pending order, not a completed order.
What really drives the price is 'transactions,' not 'pending orders.'
A large player places an order to sell 100,000 pieces of the second coin.
But if no one buys, it will just hang there forever, not affecting the current price.
[04] Who determines the price of the coin?
Ultimately, price fluctuations are not controlled by mysterious forces,
But it is determined by the person who is most eager to act in the market.
Remember one thing:
'The buy price is determined by those eating orders, not by those placing pending orders.'
[Conclusion]
If you are still making directional judgments based on the 'order wall' on the order book,
Then you might not be trading, but rather gambling that others are more anxious than you.
The crypto world is not about gambling fast; it's about who dares to 'eat.'
Only those who take action truly change the price.
