🧠 Why Most Traders Lose Money: Chasing Every Candle

In $BTC

One of the most common mistakes I see in crypto trading is this:

Traders get stuck watching the 1H or even the 15-minute chart... and change their bias every time a candle changes color.

🔴 One red candle — suddenly it's “We're dumping!”

🟢 One green candle — now it's “Bull run is back!”

Sound familiar?

We saw this recently with #WTC — a red 15-minute candle printed and panic selling started. Then just an hour later, a small pump and everyone jumped back in calling for new highs.

This kind of emotional flip-flopping based on short-term price action is how most traders get wrecked.

You're reacting to noise, not trend. And you end up taking trades when it’s not even time to be trading.

✅ So What’s the Solution?

Focus on the Higher Timeframe (HTF) — daily or even weekly charts.

Let the HTF trend set your bias.

Then use lower timeframes only to fine-tune your entries.

📉 If the HTF is bearish — trade with the trend.

📈 If the HTF is bullish — look for dips to buy.

Only change your bias when the HTF structure changes — not because of one candle on the 15-minute chart.

This applies directly to coins like #WTC . Don’t let every small move on the 1H shake your conviction.

Zoom out and ask: Has the daily trend changed? Or are we just ranging?

🔍 I’ve attached two images:

1. The first shows typical traders trying to guess every move — up, down, up again — all in one day.

2. The second shows what the higher timeframe is really doing… basically nothing major. Just ranging or slowly trending.

💡Pro tip:

Stop chasing pumps and dumps on the 1H or 15-minute charts — especially on lower liquidity coins like #WTC

Start aligning your trades with the actual market structure.

Let the HTF guide you — not your emotions.
