Many people study candlestick charts, but those who truly make money often look at other things.

Recently, I made an interesting observation: starting with a capital of 9,000U, through continuous strategy adjustments, the account achieved six margin increases within three months, ultimately reaching a scale of 140,000U. What happened during this process?

At first, like most traders, I stayed up late studying MACD, RSI, drawing support and resistance levels on charts. But what was the result? The account fluctuated up and down, and after half a year of effort, there was basically no profit. It was only later that I realized a reality: retail traders can never catch up with professional institutions in technical analysis. They have quantitative models and supercomputers; we only have mobile apps. We are simply not competing on the same level.

The real turning point came from looking at the problem from a different perspective. Instead of trying to predict the market ourselves, it’s better to observe what the funds controlling the market are doing. The underlying logic of the crypto world is actually very simple: when big funds enter, prices go up; when big funds withdraw, prices go down. This is more straightforward than any technical indicator.

The operational approach is also simple, with three core steps: first, identify signals of capital inflow and outflow; second, determine the main force’s holding rhythm; third, follow the trend at key points. The method may be crude, but it’s direct and effective.

The key is not to let complicated analysis methods blind you. The real money-making opportunities are often hidden in the simplest logic.
