Learn to read Bitcoin charts

Start with what price actually did. Indicators can help organize the evidence, but the chart’s swing points and nearby zones provide the map.

A first-pass BTC chart read

  2. 2Mark support and resistance as zones rather than single guaranteed prices.
  3. 3Check the latest closed candle, volume and conflicting evidence before forming a paper thesis.

Keep the result in perspective
