$BTC Crypto trading involves both luck and skill, but skill plays a much more important and sustainable role over the long term.

✅ Skill-Based Aspects

Technical Analysis (TA)

Traders use chart patterns, indicators (like RSI, MACD), volume, and support/resistance levels to make educated predictions.

Fundamental Analysis (FA)

Long-term investors research project fundamentals — team, use case, tokenomics, partnerships, etc.

Risk Management

Smart traders use stop-loss, position sizing, and risk/reward ratios to protect capital and reduce emotional decisions.

Strategy & Discipline

Sticking to a tested strategy (scalping, swing trading, trend following) and not overtrading is key.

Psychology

Managing fear, greed, and FOMO (fear of missing out) is a major skill in volatile markets like crypto.

🎲 Luck-Based Aspects

Market Sentiment Shifts

Sudden news (regulation, hacks, Elon Musk tweets) can spike or crash prices unpredictably.

Low-Cap or Meme Coin Pumps

These often move irrationally and unpredictably, driven by social media hype rather than fundamentals.

Timing

Even a good trade idea can fail if you enter too early or too late.
