Waves are still there, but what pushes the waves forward is no longer gravity, but a pair of tangible hands.
Yesterday, I stayed up all night with the team, reviewing the trading of the first half of this year (February to May), and summarized: the main trend is dominant, news determines the minor trend, and technical analysis determines entry points.
In the current crypto market, trading methods have undergone a major change. The influence of news (geopolitics, macro policies) is now very significant, which is understandable. The market is driven by expectations, so in the future, we need to strengthen expectations and weaken technical signals.
Setting aside the news aspect, just looking at technical indicators alone really can’t determine the direction anymore, brothers. Also, a word of advice to those who happen to come across this post: the waves are still there, but what pushes the waves forward is no longer gravity, but a pair of tangible hands.
The most successful trader in the community said: “In the past two months, trading has felt even simpler — just oscillate, short when it goes up, long when it goes down. Good news won’t last long, and bad news won’t last long either.”
The waves are still there; we just follow this tangible hand and go with it.
