Last night, I shared a student’s notes in the group, and within just 30 minutes, they went viral. I’ve organized the key points into a “first lesson” for new fans:
After staring at K-lines for three years, I finally realized one thing: K-lines themselves don’t speak—they’re just a projection of the operators’ intentions. Want to predict the future from a few candles? Impossible. But if you can understand the hidden language behind them, at least you won’t be led around blindly.
Here are three commonly used “hidden phrases” that you should know:
Hidden Phrase 1: False Breakout, Real Lift
Here’s the usual script: the price suddenly breaks a key support, panic spreads in the comments, and retail investors start selling. Meanwhile, the operators quietly buy back, lifting the price above support before the market closes
How to spot it:
1. Closing Price: If a 1-hour K-line breaks support but closes back above, it’s likely a washout.
2. Volume: Look for a sudden surge during the breakout, followed by lower volume during the rebound—classic wash trading
Hidden Phrase 2: Volume-Price Divergence Alert
When the price hits a new high but volume decreases, that’s “false prosperity.” Conversely, stagnant price with suddenly rising volume usually signals operators quietly accumulating.
I learned this the hard way last year—chasing a popular crypto. Daily candles hit new highs while volume shrank day by day. Three days later, a sharp drop wiped out all my profits.
Hidden Phrase 3: High-Level Consolidation Crisis
Sideways movement isn’t rest—it’s operators dividing the spoils. Bottom-sideways means accumulation; top-sideways means distribution.
How to distinguish:
Bottom-sideways: Volume gradually rises; bearish candles quickly swallowed by bullish ones.
Top-sideways: Volume gradually falls; bearish candles slowly engulf bullish ones. If open interest suddenly surges, the storm is coming.
Are K-lines useful?
Absolutely. But don’t just watch the ups and downs—read the intentions behind them. Once you understand these three hidden phrases, the market becomes like a movie with subtitles: the plot is crystal clear.
