Always chasing news all day, and in the end still getting cut? This was the biggest lesson I learned in my first year in the crypto world. It was only later that I realized the real secret to making money is actually in the K-line chart—if you're willing to stop and look carefully.

Back then, no one told me that the K-line is actually a recorder of market sentiment. Each line silently tells the story of the battle between bulls and bears. When a bullish line wins, a bearish line loses; the upper and lower shadows? They are the scars of the fierce fight. I spent years verifying this theory in the market with real money. In March 2020, when Bitcoin suddenly plummeted to $3,800, I identified the bottom through hammer pattern recognition and volume confirmation, and managed to buy at the bottom. The subsequent rebound not only recovered my investment but left me with gains.

The crypto market is a 24/7 nonstop battlefield. Different levels of K-lines tell different stories. Weekly and daily charts show you the overall direction, while hourly and minute charts are where you find entry points. My approach is this: before making any decision, I look at three timeframes—monthly, weekly, and daily—to confirm the trend hasn't reversed, then focus on 4-hour and 1-hour charts to find entry points. This combination helps filter out about 70-80% of false signals.

Key patterns are like signals in the market. Reversal patterns tell you that the trend is about to turn, and at that moment, you need to act quickly.
