You ever stare at a crypto chart and think, “Is this pattern legit… or am I just seeing things?”

I had the same question — until I watched a YouTube video by Krafer called I Built a Market Simulation to See if Patterns Are Real.

In the video, He created a fake market where buy and sell orders were placed randomly, just 0.1% above or below the current price. No news. No indicators. Just pure chaos.

And guess what? Real patterns still formed. Like support zones. Resistance bounces. Trendlines. The same stuff we trade on in the real world.

So, What’s Really Going On?

Turns out, these patterns aren't magic. They're just the natural result of how orders accumulate over time.

People tend to place buy orders below the current price, and sell orders above. That clustering creates structure. And that structure? We call it a “pattern.”

It’s not that patterns predict the future, It just shows that most traders are placing orders randomly without any strategy.
