Still staring blankly at the candlestick chart? While others use technical analysis to precisely buy low and sell high, you keep getting harvested? Don't panic! Master these three core weapons, and you can transform from a 'young leek' easily harvested to a 'seasoned player' who can spot gold! The truth that the market makers fear you learning is hidden in free indicators.
Candlestick Chart: The 'electrocardiogram' of the cryptocurrency market, concealing the secrets of price surges and drops!
Basic Composition: A candlestick records price fluctuations over a specific time period (e.g., 1 hour, 1 day). A bullish candlestick (often green/white) indicates the closing price is higher than the opening price, favoring the bulls; a bearish candlestick (often red/black) indicates the closing price is lower than the opening price, favoring the bears.
Key Patterns (Beginners should remember these!):
Hammer Line/Hanging Man Line: Small body, long lower shadow. Appears at the bottom of a downtrend as a potential reversal signal (Hammer Line) and at the top of an uptrend as a warning (Hanging Man Line).
Engulfing Pattern: The body of the latter candlestick completely 'eats' the body of the former candlestick. A bullish engulfing (bullish engulfing) indicates a potential rise at the bottom; a bearish engulfing (bearish engulfing) indicates a potential drop at the top.
Morning Star/Dusk Star: A combination of three candlesticks. The Morning Star (down → Doji/Small candlestick → up) is a bottom reversal signal; the Dusk Star (up → Doji/Small candlestick → down) is a top reversal signal.
Beginner's Action Guide: Don't be intimidated by countless candlesticks! Focus on identifying the classic reversal patterns mentioned above, combined with the overall trend (whether it's an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways movement) for a higher success probability. Remember: a single candlestick is a note, a combination of patterns is a symphony!
Bollinger Bands (BOLL): Instantly see the market's 'emotional temperature' and volatility!
Three Tracks: The middle line (middle track) is the N-period moving average, reflecting the trend direction; the upper and lower tracks are calculated based on price standard deviation, forming a 'channel' for price movement.
Core Usage:
Channel Width = Volatility: A narrowing channel ('convergence') indicates reduced market volatility, potentially brewing a big trend (breakout); an expanding channel ('divergence') indicates increased volatility, with a possible trend continuation.
Price Touching the Channel: Prices often fluctuate between the upper and lower tracks. Touching or breaking through the upper track may indicate short-term overbought (overheated); touching or breaking through the lower track may indicate short-term oversold (overcooled). However, in a strong trend, prices will continue to run along the upper track (upwards) or lower track (downwards), where breaking through the track is instead a trend-following signal!
Middle Track Direction Determines Bull or Bear: If the middle track is sloping upwards, the overall trend is bullish, and a pullback to the middle track may present an opportunity; if the middle track is sloping downwards, the overall trend is bearish, and a rebound to the middle track may present resistance.
Beginner's Action Guide: Bollinger Bands are a powerful tool for observing the market's 'mood'! Be alert during convergence and prepare for a potential change in trend; when the bands open and prices run close to the track, follow the trend and don't easily guess tops or bottoms. Bollinger Bands are not a magic tool for predicting tops and bottoms, but rather a scale for measuring market volatility and trend strength!
Resistance and Support Levels: The 'frontline' of the bull-bear battle, key reference points for buying and selling!
Support Level: The position where a price drop may encounter a 'springboard' rebound. Typically composed of: the low of a previous dense trading area, a significant upward starting point, important moving averages (such as the 30-day and 60-day moving averages), and psychological round numbers.
Resistance Level: The position where a price increase may encounter a 'ceiling' resistance. Typically composed of: the high of a previous dense trading area, a significant downward starting point, important moving averages, and psychological round numbers.
Key Logic:
Role Reversal: Once a strong support level is effectively broken (e.g., closing price significantly below and with volume), that support level may turn into a new resistance level; conversely, if a strong resistance level is effectively broken, it may turn into a new support level.
Testing and Confirmation: The more times the price touches a certain position and rebounds (support) or retreats (resistance), the stronger the validity of that position. The probability of a breakthrough increases during the third and fourth tests.
Combine with Other Indicators: Bullish candlestick patterns (like the Hammer Line) appearing at support levels or Bollinger Bands' lower track support + convergence provide more reliable buy signals; bearish candlestick patterns (like the Hanging Man Line) appearing at resistance levels or Bollinger Bands' upper track resistance + convergence provide clearer sell/take profit signals.
Beginner's Action Guide: Learn to draw horizontal lines on the chart! Mark recent obvious highs and lows, as well as sideways ranges. Look for signs of stabilization near support levels to consider buying low, and watch for signs of stagnation near resistance levels to consider selling high or reducing positions. Always respect the market; there is support below support and resistance above resistance. Setting stop-loss orders is a lifeline!
Conclusion: Technology is not a crystal ball for fortune-telling, but a navigation tool to improve win rates!
The candlestick chart reveals the results of the bull-bear battle, while the Bollinger Bands depict the volatility's emotional temperature, and resistance and support levels mark the key battlegrounds. The real secret to making money lies not in predicting every fluctuation, but in understanding the market language and establishing trading discipline!
