Crypto Trends: A Practical Guide to Not Losing Money

Most traders lose because they don't understand one simple thing: cryptos follow predictable patterns. Once you learn to identify them, the game changes.

The secret is in looking from above

Forget about the 1-hour charts. Start with weekly and daily charts. Why? Because no matter what happens in lower timeframes, the market always ends up going in the direction of the higher timeframe. Use it to your advantage: look for pullbacks on lower charts to enter in the direction of the larger chart.

Bullish trend: how to recognize it

Simple: higher highs and higher lows. That is bullish. If the price does not break below the last low, the trend remains alive.

Where to enter? When the price falls to the zone of the previous minimum ( in the high timeframe ), that is your signal. The target: new highs.

Bearish trend: the reverse

Lower highs, lower lows. Nothing complicated. If you want to short, look for bounces towards previous highs and enter short from there. Target: new lows.

The error that ruins traders: not recognizing the change

This is the part that kills wallets. No trend lasts forever, but people get obsessed.

Bulls keep buying on dips even when the trend has already changed. Bears keep shorting even though the market is already going up. **That's where they lose. **

How to know when the trend has broken

Bullish Break: the price closes below the last higher low. Game over for the bullish trend. Change your bias.

Bearish Breakout: the price closes above the last lower highs. The trend is no longer bearish.

The golden rule

Be bullish when there is an uptrend, bearish when there is a downtrend. Change your bias the day the trend breaks. Don't play the hero. This is how professional traders survive and win.
