Crypto Analytics
A data-driven framework for forecasting market movements by mastering structure, momentum, and trends.
01. Market Structure Cycles
The foundation of all technical analysis is the **Market Structure**. An asset doesn't move in a straight line; it moves in waves. By identifying Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL), we confirm an uptrend. Conversely, Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL) signal a downtrend. Understanding this structure allows traders to trade *with* the prevailing wind rather than against it.
Pro Tip: Volume must expand on the move and contract on the pullback to validate the structure.
02. Support & Resistance
These are the 'Floors' and 'Ceilings' of the price chart. **Support** is where buyers traditionally outweigh sellers, preventing further decline. **Resistance** is where supply overwhelms demand. A critical concept is *Role Reversal*: once a major resistance level is broken, it often becomes a new support level.
03. Momentum & RSI
Indicators like the **Relative Strength Index (RSI)** measure the speed and change of price movements. RSI oscillates between 0 and 100. Readings above 70 indicate an 'Overbought' condition (potential reversal or cooling), while readings below 30 indicate 'Oversold' conditions (potential buying opportunity).
