"Not candle based?" What does that mean? Candlesticks can be applied to any price chart, any instrument. They just track the open, low, high, and close.

Are you saying TA doesn't work on crypto?

You have to consider other factors as well to act as your references instead of relying purely on charts. Crypto is volatile and in just a glimpse, it might rise or crash.

Chart indicators will tell you what should you do base on the given trend, price action within a given timeframe, "possible" and "expected" things to happen and so on. If you have been in stocks for 10 years you should at least know how to differentiate using charts to crypto and stocks.

How long are you here in crypto? It's fine if you are currently having difficulty applying analysis base on the chart. You will be used to it soon. You already have knowledge about trading indicators so that's already an advantage. Adjusting how to deal with the crypto market shouldn't be a problem for you.

While it's true that the rate of success of technical analysis is lower on crypto, it doesn't mean you can ignore it. One of the obvious reasons is that a lot of traders also use that, so it creates a 'self-fulfilling prophecy' culture such as with the fibo sequence.

10 years on your back should be enough for you to tell that TA is just probabilities. Even if a chart has a 90% success ratio, you can still fuck it up.

Technical analysis don't give you 100% assurance on price movement because crypto prices are highly volatile and often goes with manipulation by whales so it will not follow the price charts always but when the market is in sideway for too long then your TA can help you to make more profits.

Crypto price prediction never works. Bull market or bear market strategy do not work. It only helps to minimize your losses. I personally do not consider them 100 percent viable way to analyse the market. You need to consider other aspects such as news.

Chart itself can't effect on the price of coin, but it helps analyzers get an idea how would move future. During live trades sometimes traders also follow chart trends. Everyone have different strategy for trading, we can't say others are wrong if they follow chart candles. For me, I see chart candle for previous prices. When price was bumped and pumped, what was ATH and what was monthly ATH etc. So I won't say chart is garbage at all. If it's not helpful for you then likely you don't know proper use for it. Perhaps it's helpful for lot of other people.

[Sadlife]

Indeed crypto charts are much more unpredictable because of its unstable nature and tend to go wild swings in just a matter of hours. The regular trading strategy in stocks might not be compatible to crypto. So that's why many traders loss while others already adapted and has indicators and strategy of their own.

Probably, mate. He/she may be want to express his/her anger here. Felt sorry for you, man above. Charts are charts though it is quite significant for traders but you do not have to be totally dependent on it, you have to look on something else, and decide solely on your own analysis. Get better, man. There are many traders out there who look on the charts as well, and then probably might failed like you but moved on and did keep getting better. Build your own strategies man so you'll never be (might be) dependent on charts alone.

Agree. The chart just helps traders to consider what they are better to do in the near future. It doesn't determine that someone can success to reach their target in profits. Everything depends on the trader itself. Traders can use the chart as one of the sources to make their decision but never relies on the chart. Remember that the chart is only about the current history of crypto price moves and the prediction of the next moves. It can change anytime!

Some people rely on technical analysis because it serves as their guide in investing and we can't blame them for their belief. Most of us don't rely on technical analysis but it doesn't mean that it's just a piece of trash because we all rely on our comfort zone. The market is volatile and unpredictable so there's really no guarantee that charts are 100% accurate and it's just for us if we'll deal with it.

How could I vote the poll if the choices are the same? 

Crypto chart reading or having Technical Analysis(TA) through reading a chart is wont to give an accurate result in actual price results in crypto. It is very helpful for traders to give a forecast price movement based on the previous price. It is good to predict if you have references in trading, otherwise predicting the market movement without using this is might be boring.

Targeting profit through candlestick pattern might having beneficial to traders, I didn't consider this tool as bullshit and no use in trading.

Nope actually we are not tired to read it since by reading it we can get an idea on where does the events turn on crypto in some instance but you shouldn't expect that you will get a accurate analysis from it since sometimes it doesn't give you what you want in quick instance.

But don't ever think that its a trash since many people learn on how to trade from reading it.

Probably he is referring that candle stick pattern recolonization is not working for crypto trading. I also have felt like that. It is like when"doji" appears, we may expect a reversal of market trend but market may continue its current trend. It is possible for any market where whales are shaking directions on their own preferences. Even crypto markets are having enough volume, it is not big enough to withstand against few individual/group of people's manipulation.

All the markets which are getting manipulated time to time, may turn as an exception for technical analysis. Technical analysis work perfect with enormous volume; enormous volume is needed for ensuring withstanding against manipulation.

Perhaps the article authors are going a bad job interpreting those charts.That doesn't mean that the charts are shit,just the article authors(who in most cases aren't experts in technical analysis) usually suck.
You are right that the crypto charts have little to do with the stock charts,but that doesn't make them a useless instrument for market analysis.Can you refer to some low quality chart analysis articles that you don't agree with?

I consider this to be a very important document before deciding to invest because you may not always know exactly what is happening in this market. Everyday I always analyze or consult some opinions of others to trade because this is the best way to reduce risks. For me, chart knowledge is never junk and you should take the time to study instead of whining.

[Janation]

Doesn't mean you use this strategy means it will always be as successful as the other assets.

Candlestick is been used by a lot of traders and it will not always give you a profit since it is not a 100% profit-strategy since we all know this is just a strategy that gives you indications, movements of the price of assets you are investing in. Those charts are just based on the changes that happened, you can't blame it. Cryptocurrencies are naturally volatile, you should always expect a worse outcome.

Most of those who give their further details of analysis has been very inconsistent with a certain trend. Some of them were very aggressive on every thoughts which sometimes exaggerating to read. I am pertaining on respective movements of each coin value, and I don't see fair outcome because some analysis was only trying to attract other individuals interest, in which we need to be careful as well.

Well I'm sick and tired of seeing crypto related article posting bullshit charts, just to get some clicks, in short they are garbage, thus for profit making scheme. But there are good analysis in this community, you just have to go around and see some 'reputable" technical analyst here.

What do you mean by "Bitcoin/crypto isn’t candle based" though? As far as I know, candle sticks can show you the highs and lows, so it can help you track price predictions.
