lol.. can you explain how ppl make money here if TA doesn't work?

Market cycles and chart patterns are useful but technoical analysis will only go so far in crypto.  These markets are heavily manipulated and you never know when one of those early adopter whale will decide to dump his bags on everyone.

This is, without doubt, the most difficult to see. Knowing that to recover a 50% loss I would need my assets to rise 100% just for the breaking even is too difficult to believe and sad.

Getting the assets out of the exchanges is the right and safest. But when there are monstrous falls we have to accept almost irrecoverable losses.

Wow! What a neat post! Thanks and happy trading!

You put lots of effort into this post and i appriciate this but i dont think that this knowledge is worth effort to learn. I think that looking at chart and thinking "who is buying here" "where will he put stoploss" "what would whale do in this situation" "how would he earn more - by longing or shorting this position" "this move helps to dump price or to sell as much without dumping" "how environment looks like" "where we are on the chart (top or bottom)". Looking at chart and answering those questions will help you to understand market and every pattern that will even appear. Learning patters will never help you understand how market works and why chart looks like that. You will also never understand why you fail so manny times fallowing those patters.

Price will reverse from support in 2 situations:

1-huge buyers will stop price with their orders and push it higher giving buy signal for buyers fallowing rule "i dont buy falling knifes" what will push price higher
2- sellers stoped selling close to support to dont break it because braking support will dump price few % down - no new buyers - only few TA lovers believing in streangth of support.

First situation is healthy and will push price higher, second will only push price a little and perhaps with another test support will be broken.

When you look only on patters you will never see in which situation we are.

Let us not all forget that candlestick patterns as well as other trend reversal patterns always use volume as the confirmation of either the breakout/breakdown or downtrend/uptrend. Yes this patterns are useful and if you learn each one of them you can easily identify what pattern is forming but it won't be no good if you don't know how to read the volume, without it you are just simply hoping for that formation in itself will be confirming the price movement which it is not.

This is just great!
Thanks a lot! Very useful stuff!

Good share. There's still a lot of graphs that I need to really know and thanks to this cheat sheet. Although this is a bit overwhelming for a newbie trader, but we all should start somewhere so this is a good thing to look at. At least for beginners, they should understand a thing or two and know how to read graphs and progress as you gain some experience in your trading journey.
