used to open a crypto chart and feel like I was staring at a heart monitor.
Lines everywhere. Colors. Candles. Panic.
But then I made it a goal: understand just enough to not feel like a total noob.
Here’s what finally clicked for me:
🟢 Green candle = price went up. Red = it dropped.
Simple, but I had no clue at first.
⏳ Timeframes matter.
A coin might look like it’s crashing on the 15-min chart…
…but zoom out to 1D and it’s still bullish. Big perspective shift.
📈 Support and resistance = crypto mood swings.
I started seeing how prices bounce around key levels like it’s emotional therapy.
💬 And indicators?
Start with RSI (is it overbought?), and MA (moving averages smooth the noise).
You don’t need to know it all. Just some of it.
Reading charts won’t tell you the future. But it can help you stop reacting emotionally.
And trust me, I’ve made enough emotional trades to know that’s worth a lot.
