Have you ever seen a chart with so many lines and indicators and other random shit that you can't even see the price?

Yes I have seen charts like that and yes I'm tired of them...tho I tend to summarily ignore most of them and the inevitable commentary by whoever made them. I don't believe in technical analysis as a rule, so all of these teacups and death crosses and what have you just make me scratch my head. What they all come down to is the belief that past prices are going to determine future prices. That might work when there's price momentum, ie, when the chart is basically a straight line over a period of time, but I don't think all of these indicators have any validity.

You know why there are so many TA traders in crypto? It's because fundamental analysis doesn't exist. There is no way to determine at what price bitcoin or any other coin should be trading at. Supply can be predicted but demand cannot be. The only thing left to do is to look at charts and infer some meaning. I truly wonder whether TA traders are making any money based on those charts.

Maybe he's capable of keeping track of all that junk all at once.
But I know that I'm definitely not.

Like most of you, if I find myself in a strategy that's too muddy, I start drifting.

Finding myself in trades that I don't need, or want to be in...
Only noticing the bad decision after I've felt the pain of losing money.

So I keep it simple.

I make it easy for myself to stick to my strategy because I know firsthand what happens when you don’t…
It’s not pretty.

Are you tired of these tea leaf charts?

These fake charts are really good at giving crypto enthusiasts a hard time especially those who use charts as a reference in their trading and investment strategy. This could lead traders and investors into confusion and end up losing their assets because of the bullshits that they are spreading. Not very helpful at all and is highly destructing for those who uses technical analysis.

I have a different thinking, is that influencers that are posting charts are actually influencing market.

Obviously, they are called influencers because of that. The problem is that there are a lot of newbies falling for their trap.

Especially with so many automated bots and trading advice solutions.
If the bots are following the influencer then it can have an impact.

Then if all of the other influencers post charts on the main influencers it can have an effect.

Bots are being harnessed by everyone here, not just manipulators or influencers. But you are right bots have been predominantly in the ecosystem now that it can have a big impact on the market.

Do not relay on the TA of others, you should start looking it by yourself a good trader can trade with the present market condition and can make a profit over it. Some chart will lead you to profit loss so do not engage in believing other's chart or TA.

You don't have to, chart are based on their own analysis, of course you can make your own and just disregard the chart if you don't agree with the TA.
The market is full of speculators and experts, but that does not mean they are right all the time and we should follow them, there's nothing we can rely but ourselves and we should trust out own.

Exactly what the OP needs to understand, there is no need getting into arguments with someone about his or her own strategies, as long as its working for that person and you're not compelled to follow suit then it's fine.
That's not to say trading strategy works all the time or is reliable, but if you have tried out a particular one, and you believe it works for you, then keep using it, it will help build your confidence in trading.

Expert traders uses different lines because each lines has a meanings like resistance, etc. They know what they are doing, expect some difficult indicators. But hey, for me I simply used 2 indicators. Moving Average and RSI, it works fine. The simplier, the better. Nevermind those technical analysis which complicates your trades. The important is that you are benefiting from your own TA.

That is what you will get in your research. You will see so many charts from many people, and you need to analyze one by one of the charts so you can find what you need. Besides that, I think you can get more information related to the market so you can decide to buy or sell in the market or just watching the price moving around. I don't feel tired of watching the chart because that will give some guidance for me to decide.

Yes, I see a lot of fomo people with very bad projects because they want to sell at a high price. It's some kind of people who only buy coins with fomo and I don't like that kind of investment, it's very lacking in practicality and science.
To avoid losing time and money, make your own strategy and make a lot of money from it. Don't care about things that are still different and distracted.

Don't rely on some chart around the internet. because It's useless and sometimes ppl nowadays just spreading rumors about the future of growth rate. So you should make your own technical analysis which is to assure everything will be alright and educate your self more about that.

It's not their or others issue. If you don't like TA, why you bother to check them. TA is a good indicator of having an idea of movement. TA has a lot of tools, learn these if you don't want to see the complicated waves.

Technical analysis sometimes works and sometimes fails. Bur that doesn't mean it's bullshit. TA is very much needed if you are trading on a regular basis. You can predict the market if you understand and use the strategy properly.

TA makes a confirmation for the news, its the news react to the market or not. To be honest, I really don't care about TA for me Fundamental Analysis better than TA. Because we can make a speculation a long time ago than TA.

I got some short experience, see some people using a TA. Because of TA its always make people confused to make decisions, not every TA user always have the same prediction that's why i think just wasting a time if you going too long trade investment. TA only good for a short trade, but also you can get rekt by short trade with a high volatility cryptocurrency.

Today I saw one the most ridiculous charts I’ve ever seen.

Have you ever seen a chart with so many lines and indicators and other random shit that you can't even see the price?

I wish I thought to screenshot it, it was truly comical…

The guy defended his masterpiece saying that each and every one of those indicators and lines were absolutely critical for deciding to take the trade or not.

Calling bullshit on that.

You are right but partially.
Many of those charts are bullish but don't forget that every investor has its own opinion and conclusion about a chart movement. If the analysis is totally wrong then you are right. But if they rely on some facts then they have every right to spread and tell their opinion to the community.

I see those people bombarding the forum with charts that are not working as very lousy fellows just trying to create unnecessary post to look relevant and get merit. I have seen one particular guy on this forum that has dropped series of charts and none of the chart has predicted accurately, the chart has been nothing but failure. One thing I have realized is that Technical Analysis is quite difficult to use with cryptocurrency, especially when the market is quite too volatile.

I have been trading since the time of Forex, and I know that technical analysis do work for Forex and works more when mixed with fundamental analysis, but in crypto, most time you try to use Technical Analysis, that is when you see one particular fundamental factor that will override it.

Every chart will look stupid if you add all the indicators one on top of the other. Usually people are choosing 3 or 4 and staying with them. Like moving averages + ichimoku + volume. There are some indicators that rarely work like eliott waves.

I take exception with that conclusion. Wyckoff and Elliott helped my trading tremendously over the years.

As with TA in general, there are a lot of crappy Elliott Wave practitioners. In particular, many analysts seems to use it in a predictive manner, making assumptions about what will happen before patterns are complete. As they are proven wrong, they make the additional mistake of getting married to their EW count. This is similar to letting losses run on trades.

In other words, EW practitioners are prone to the same mistakes that all traders and technical analysts make. Most traders lose money too.

if you are not capable of analysing all the indicators in a chart doesn't mean that it is shit some people are ready to do all kind of analysing to increase their chances of making profit but it doesn't necessary to make profit even with few indicators we can make profit and it all depends on our skills and doing trading.

it's a common mistake made by novice traders. they think more indicators and lines = more success. in reality, indicators/oscillators are just derivatives of price. so if you can learn to read price action itself, using any number of indicators is just redundant.

candlestick or bar charts, horizontal S/R and pivots, and volume is all one really needs. much more than that and the waters start getting muddied.
