In crypto trading, many people look at candlestick charts every day, but few truly understand the market sentiment behind them.

Today, we’ll introduce 5 common candlestick patterns.

Looking at the daily/4H perspective, INTC has transitioned from a prolonged downtrend into a consolidation phase, currently hovering around the 58.80 level after a slight bounce. The price action is compressed between the 56.85 support and the 60.65 resistance, indicating a phase of accumulation or indecision. The Moving Averages (MA120 at 58.49 and MA30 at 58.32) are acting as immediate dynamic support, suggesting the bearish momentum is exhausting, though the overhead MAs (MA200/250) still indicate long-term structural resistance remains intact.

Why Have U.S. Tech Stocks Suddenly Plunged? Is the AI Bubble Really About to Burst?
Recently, global tech stocks have undergone a noticeable correction, especially companies in the AI supply chain. Investors are beginning to reassess the AI investment thesis that has driven sustained gains over the past few years. Share price volatility among tech giants such as Nvidia, Microsoft, and Tesla has also raised an important question: Is the golden age of the AI industry over?
I think it is too early to conclude that the AI bubble has burst, but the market has indeed entered a more rigorous valuatio

SOL previously presented a short setup around 89. The market weakened as expected, dipping to a low of 81.25, and short profits were successfully locked in—the timing was spot on.

Looking at the current chart, the daily Bollinger Bands are opening downward, with price consistently tracking the lower band. MACD remains negative, and each high is lower than the last. The broader bearish trend remains unchanged.
On the 4-hour chart, price has consistently failed to break above the Bollinger midline. Each modest rebound has met resistance and pulled back, representing weak consolidation during th

What Is the Difference Between DEXs and CEXs? They Use Different Trading Methods and Carry Different Asset Risks

In the cryptocurrency market, DEXs and CEXs are two common ways to trade.

A CEX (centralized exchange) is generally operated by a platform, and users trade through platform accounts; a DEX (decentralized exchange) generally completes trades through smart contracts and blockchain infrastructure.

Both can help users trade digital assets, but they differ significantly in asset management, trading processes, ease of use, and risk profiles.

How to Identify Market Trends? Improve Your BTC Trading Win Rate with Trend Analysis
In crypto trading, many people search every day for the best entry and exit points, while overlooking a more fundamental question: What trend is the market in right now?
If you haven't clearly determined the market's direction, even using many technical indicators can still lead to repeated bad decisions.

Why does the exchange show a profit, while the amount you actually take home after all costs is much smaller?

When reviewing their trades, many traders focus only on the difference between the buying and selling prices, while overlooking an important question:

A profit on paper does not necessarily equal actual net profit.

Especially in the cryptocurrency market, trading frequency, order type, holding period, and market liquidity can all affect the final result.

To know whether a strategy can actually make money, you should at least account for the following five types of costs.

How can out-of-sample testing and walk-forward backtesting help determine whether a trading strategy is truly reliable?

Suppose you spend several months researching a trading strategy, constantly adjusting its parameters, and eventually produce a beautiful historical return curve.

You might think you’ve found an effective approach.

But there’s a problem: if you repeatedly use the same historical data to adjust the strategy, does the return curve prove that the strategy works, or does it merely show that you found the parameters best suited to that historical data?

That’s the problem overfi

This long position near 2018 in ETH early yesterday morning was also one of the bottoming opportunities I valued most.

At the time, ETH had already fallen to around 2018. I felt there was little positional advantage left in chasing the move lower.

What mattered more to me was whether this level could become a short-term support zone.

After the previous leg down, the price reached this area without making a decisive break lower, suggesting the bears were starting to lose momentum.

BTC was also showing signs of bottoming at the time, and the two markets were beginning to move in sync.

How should you read on-chain data? How can large transfers help you gauge market movements?
In the cryptocurrency market, many people watch candlestick charts and trading volume every day, but overlook a very important source of information: on-chain data.
Especially when Bitcoin sees a large transfer, many traders immediately wonder: Is a whale preparing to sell? Are institutions buying in large quantities?
But do large transfers really mean the price is about to change?
First, distinguish between funds flowing into exchanges and funds flowing out. A large amount of BTC moving to exchanges ma
