Technical indicators? Those things are just supporting roles in trading. Where is the real battlefield? It's in the psychological game—when there’s no obvious news, the battle of funds relies entirely on guessing each other's intentions.
Did you notice those two wicks? The candlesticks that crashed and then instantly bounced back. That’s no accident; it’s conditioning you into a habit. Most people watching the market can only keep track of movements within three screens. Anything beyond that? Their minds can’t handle it. So, after seeing this “fake drop and rebound” act a couple of times, won’t you subconsciously assume, “It’ll bounce back again next time, right?”
Congratulations, your mindset has been successfully trained.
Of course, the market makers know some people will see through this trick. But those people are always the minority. Precisely because they are few, I have a chance to be that one who slips through the net—going against the crowd when most people fall into the trap.

To put it bluntly, technical analysis is just a cover; the real game is all in the mind.
It's psychological warfare—that's the real deal.
I saw those two wicks clearly; they're just training the newbies.
After falling for the trick twice, when the third time actually dumps, you end up thinking it'll bounce back.
Only a few people can see through this setup. I’m betting I’m one of the lucky ones who slip through the cracks.

It sounds sophisticated, but at the end of the day, it's just psychological games. Aren't most people also thinking about doing the opposite?

Well said, this is psychological warfare. I've seen so many people get shaken out by those two candlesticks, only to see the price bounce back afterward, leaving them incredibly frustrated. The key is that the market makers know this trick works, so they use it over and over, and people keep falling for it.

I've long grown tired of these tricks, but only a few people can actually avoid them. Most people are just trained to be puppets on a string.
Still, even when you see through it, it's easy to follow the crowd at critical moments. Everyone talks a good game when it comes to psychological warfare.
The dealers only have a few tricks up their sleeves, but the problem is human nature is too greedy—everyone wants to get a deal.
In reality, the hardest part isn't seeing through the game; it's actually doing the opposite. Most people talk a good game, but when it comes to action, they still follow the herd.
When it comes to psychological battles, it's basically a bet that others are dumber than you. But what if nobody's dumb?

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Technical indicators are just so-so. The core is really about who can play mind games with others the best.

I've seen through these tricks long ago, but the key is that there will always be new ones next time—it's impossible to guard against them all.
---
Most people really are trained like this, but I can't say I'm the lucky one who escapes the net—who knows, maybe one day I'll get caught too.

Psychological games are where the real skills lie; they're worth more than any moving average or MACD.

Three screens' worth of brain capacity, haha, everyone has their own blind spots—don't be too confident.

You can see it but can't do it—that's the most heartbreaking part.

Yeah, I’ve seen this trick too many times, just worried I might fall for it myself one day.
Honestly, it’s all psychological warfare; technical indicators are just a front.
I just want to ask, am I really one of those “minority” who see through it?
These two spikes are definitely ruthless, but there will be new tricks next time. The market makers are evolving too.
Going against the grain sounds great, but when it comes to actually doing it, my hands start shaking.

Damn, it's that psychological warfare routine again. Fell for it after watching it twice, unbelievable.
