How I Realized Technical Analysis Can’t Save You in Crypto
I used to believe in patterns. I drew trendlines like they were sacred geometry, marked candles like constellations. Spent months in TA courses, hunting some mythical edge—thinking if I just stared hard enough, the charts would whisper their secrets. They never did.
Instead, the exchange moved like a storm with no warning. One minute my “strategy” made sense. The next, a sudden wick erased it all—because someone I’ll never see decided to unload ten million. The chart never warned me. It never could.
Crypto doesn’t move on logic. It doesn’t obey rules. It responds to power—liquidity games, spoof orders, front-running bots, and invisible hands. You think you're forecasting. You're actually reacting. Late. Always too late.
Forget candles. Watch behavior. Watch pressure. Watch volume shift like tides pulled by forces you can’t see. Ask: Am I thinking... or just repeating what the crowd chants?
Because here’s the truth:
In this game, there is no signal—only noise. The exchange designs it that way.
And if you're still clinging to your Fibonacci dreams?
You're not trading. You're target practice.
