How to read a Bitcoin chart

A chart is easier to read when you work from broad context to the current candle instead of starting with the newest arrow or oscillator.

Read from left to right

  1. 1State the timeframe and whether recent swings form a trend or range.
  2. 2Mark the nearest zones and note whether price is approaching, rejecting or accepting them.
  3. 3Use closed-candle behavior and volume to describe what changed; choose a paper decision or no trade.

Keep the result in perspective

One screen of candles may hide important higher-timeframe context.
