Beginners are obsessed with technical indicators, while veterans analyze the game structure: the line chart is just a facade, logic is the key to victory
Beginners learn MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and can’t help but stare at 5-minute candlesticks to find entry points; they rush in at a red candlestick and flee at a green one. They treat the 'charts' as their sole basis, neglecting the underlying game structure.
Veterans, on the other hand, do not fixate on the lines themselves but focus on:
Who is currently dominating the market? Retail investors, project parties, market makers, or capital pools?
Is the coin price being manipulated upwards, or is it naturally increasing in volume?
Is this wave of increase attracting retail investors into the market, or is it a high-level sell-off deceiving the charts?
Technical indicators often represent 'false signals' under the game.
Veterans can understand the underlying intentions behind false breakouts, bullish traps, wash trading, and volume-price divergence; they are not looking at the charts, but at the players—the intentions of the funds, patterns of behavior, and the evolution of fear and greed.
Beginners look at indicators, veterans look at the game.
Beginners talk through charts, veterans read the situation and place their bets.
The charts are just shadows; the game is the true essence.
