Technical analysis is really useful, provided you use the right methods. Relying on just one or two indicators definitely won't work, but if you combine multiple technical indicators, volume and price relationships, pattern structures, support and resistance levels for analysis, the accuracy can improve significantly. It's just that few people do it this way.
Going back to mid-April 2025, the market sentiment was extremely pessimistic, and the vast majority of voices across the internet were bearish. But from a technical perspective, BTC's main funds had quietly accumulated for nearly two weeks. This is a clear signal—the main upward wave is about to start. This isn't just based on intuition; it's derived from objective data such as volume and price relationships, chip distribution, and key support and resistance levels. The most profitable opportunities often appear during the most bearish moments across the internet.
The reverse operation method does exist, but the problem is that very few can stick with it; most are cut off by emotions.
Honestly, during the April wave, I only realized it after analyzing the distribution of chips; others were still calling for a decline.
Contrarian thinking is the art of making money, but unfortunately, insight is something that can't really be taught.

That April wave was indeed fierce. When the whole network was crying out in despair, it was actually an opportunity to get in. I have deep personal experience with this.
---
The key is execution. Knowing and doing are worlds apart.
---
The most difficult part to read is the distribution of chips; you need some skill to do it.
---
It's just about contrarian operation—when others panic, you become greedy. Easy to say, but very hard to do.
---
Capturing signals like main force accumulation once is possible, but it's very hard to reproduce afterward.
---
Multiple indicators working together are more reliable; relying on a single indicator is just guesswork.
---
Often, the biggest opportunity is when the market looks the most bearish. Mental resilience is truly tested.
---
This methodology is actually just so-so; the key still lies in mindset and risk control.
It's because too many people only look at one indicator and make reckless moves, which is why they end up losing money in a muddle.
In April, some people did make a profit, but how many dared to buy when the entire network was in despair? The psychological barrier is too tough.
The combination of volume-price pattern support and resistance is correct, but the problem is execution...
So basically, it's still an information gap; those who understand have already jumped on board.
