Recently, I’ve found that many people, when looking at charts, are searching for indicators; but honestly, you don’t have to. I want to share something simpler with you—directly read the market’s rhythm with your eyes.
Look at BTC’s 45-minute chart. The way those highs and lows are arranged and combined can tell you what the big players are doing. For example, when higher highs and higher lows keep appearing one after another, that combination is called HH+HL. HL means that each pullback low is higher than the last one—what does that represent? The bulls are controlling the market: lifting the price while pressing to hold it, and the strength is still there.
On the other hand, if you see lower lows paired with lower highs, the LL+LH combination, then that means the bears are in control: smashing it down while “covering it up.”
These four structures—HH, HL, LL, LH—basically are the big players’ action language. Once you learn to read this, you’ll be able to see when they’re preparing to push the market up, when they’re creating a decline, and when they’re digging a pit waiting for retail traders to come and take the bait. This is more direct than any indicator.
Many people treat these structures as fixed shapes to memorize, but that’s not right. A structure isn’t a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t a static picture pattern—it’s the big players’ real-time behavioral display. The same HL, in different positions and with different volume, can mean completely different things.
This is the core I want to talk about tomorrow—how to identify real versus fake structures, and how to see through the main players’ true intentions. For now, you only need to remember one thing: once you learn the combinations of these four structures, you’ve mastered the most fundamental code for trading from charts.
