Market price movements aren't random—and they've got nothing to do with indicators moving first. What really drives price? It's the constant interaction between market participants through their orders. These interactions build structure.
Think of trends differently: they're just sequences of acceptance and rejection playing out in real time. When you see higher highs paired with higher lows, that's the market accepting higher price levels. The opposite pattern signals rejection. Price action tells the story of how market participants are collectively voting with their capital.

ngl this is exactly what I've been wanting to hear someone say... Indicators are all trash, looking at order flow is the real way
---
After all this talk, it's still about trading volume and the battle between market participants
---
Highs and lows are just testing support, those who understand know
---
Price is a voting machine, this analogy is perfect
---
Finally someone gets it, technical indicators are all lagging and give false signals
---
So in the end, it still depends on how big players operate; they are the true price makers
---
This logic is correct, but in actual trading, it's still easy to get cut...
---
Acceptance and rejection... sounds simple, but in practice, anyone can lose money trying to judge it
---
Order book flow is the real truth, everything else is just stories
---
Those who understand this have already jumped in; by the time such articles are published, the market has already moved on

To be honest, indicators are just an illusion; what really matters is where the participants' chips are.
Acceptance and rejection, high points and low points, it's that simple, no need to complicate things.

In simple terms, it’s about looking at the order and the flow of chips, the indicators are all虚的.
