My latest altcoin trade was a solid reminder of why news matters. I had my eye on a mid-cap coin that had strong technical support and was trading in a tight range. Suddenly, I saw on Twitter that the project’s mainnet launch was postponed. Within minutes, the price dropped. Because I had alerts set and followed news feeds, I reacted fast and exited with minimal loss. This showed me again that being a trader is not just about charts — it’s also about staying connected. News events can crush technical setups. After that, I’ve built a routine to scan crypto news before and after trading hours. One headline can make or break a trade. Staying informed is part of staying profitable.
