This forum is rich with info. You just have to know how to use it right and be able to filter all the information you gathered. There are a lot of shills and FUD in here so be careful. But as you hang out here more and more, you'll be able to know intuitively who's a shill and who's FUD and everyone in between. This forum is really one of a kind and it's one of the most engaging ones that I have been a member of. Lot's of drama.

You also might want to try some of the exchange chat boxes. Again, shill and fud city, but if you can wade through the mess there are gems. There are guys in this space that are extremely knowledgeable about trading in general, and the technologies behind some coins (they will chat your ear off). Also, you can get a good feel for market sentiment by listening to the chatter.
