Don’t know how to read crypto charts? Here’s what you need to know:
What the main indicators do:
EMA — defines the trend (BUY above the line, SELL below)
RSI — shows if the asset is overbought (>70) or oversold (<30)
MACD — catches reversals (crossover through zero = entry signal)
Bollinger Bands — measures volatility and reversal points
Japanese candlesticks — read them like a book:
Body = from open to close. Wick = day’s high/low. Green = up, red = down.
Pro tip: Fibonacci Levels
Crypto rarely moves in a straight line. Fibonacci lines (61.8%, 38.2%, 23.6%) show where the market might bounce back. Works especially well combined with other indicators.
Pivot Points — pros’ benchmarks
Objective support/resistance levels. Don’t require subjective decisions like other indicators. They’re like financial floors for traders.
Key: combine TA + FA
Technical analysis = short-term (when to enter/exit). Fundamental = long-term (whether it’s worth it at all). Together — it’s a combo.
⚠️ TA doesn’t give 100% signals. Always manage your risks and never go all-in.
