Lesson 1 of #FaisalCryptoLabLessons — Philosophy of Technical Analysis
Lesson 1 — Philosophy of Technical Analysis What Is Technical Analysis? Technical analysis is the study of market action to forecast future price movements. It focuses on three main elements: Price: what the market is doingVolume: the strength of a moveOpen Interest: the level of participation (mainly in futures and options) While “price action” is often mentioned, technical analysis actually studies overall market behavior, not just price.
The Goal The goal of technical analysis is to: Use past market behavior to anticipate future trendsIdentify patterns that repeat over timeMake informed trading decisions based on probabilities, not certainty Charts are the main tool because they visually organize price, volume, and participation into patterns.
The Core Philosophy Technical analysis is built on three key principles: The Market Discounts Everything All known information—economic, political, psychological—is reflected in price. Analysts focus on how the market reacts, not the news itself.Price Moves in Trends Markets move upward, downward, or sideways; they are not random. The goal is to identify trends and participate, not predict exact tops or bottoms.History Repeats Itself Human behavior is consistent; fear and greed create recurring chart patterns. Crowd psychology remains constant, so patterns tend to reappear over time.
Technical vs Fundamental Analysis Technical analysis studies market behavior and focuses on charts, timing entries and exits, assuming price reflects all data. Fundamental analysis studies economic data, focuses on financial reports, determines intrinsic value, and analyzes external factors. Fundamentals ask: What should this asset be worth?Technical ask: What is the market actually doing?
Common Criticism Criticism: “If everyone uses technical analysis, it will stop working.”Response: Markets are driven by human emotion. As long as humans trade, patterns influenced by psychology will continue to appear. Technical analysis does not guarantee the future; it identifies probabilities and structure.
Key Takeaways Technical analysis is not about randomly drawing lines. It is about understanding: Market psychologyTrend structureSupply and demand behaviorCrowd reaction Charts are a reflection of human behavior under pressure. Master the behavior, not just the indicators. Todays top gainers 👇 $VVV $POWER $SIREN #FaisalCryptoLab #trading #BinanceSquareFamily #FaisalCryptoLabLessons
$MIRA if you took the risk and shorted early, great but our level is also playing out to the downside, the move is slow but make sure to risk free it...
Many traders are asking whether to long or short $ROBO
The honest answer: no one knows the immediate next move. Early liquidity is often driven by insiders and initial positioning. For retail participants, it’s effectively a 50/50 scenario between a sharp pump or a fast dump.
Trading approach:
Let the first impulsive move complete.
Do not enter simply because the setup “looks right.”
Newly listed tokens are highly volatile and can reverse faster than expected.
Patience is the edge.
Either:
Wait for a blow-off move into a new ATH and look for structured exhaustion at the top, or
Let it flush aggressively and consider positioning near extreme lows once volatility stabilizes.
These types of assets typically reward traders who short strength at distribution zones or long weakness at capitulation levels — both strategies require timing, confirmation, and discipline.
Many assume trading is the simplest path to quick income.
It is not.
There is no effortless way to build wealth — and trading may be one of the most demanding methods. It tests discipline, emotional control, risk management, and consistency. Without those, the market will expose every weakness.

Υποτιμητική
$VVV delivered the full upside move on the long side. After reviewing the higher time frame structure, the rally looks extended.
A corrective phase is likely next. Profit-taking pressure should begin building soon, which could trigger a short-term downside retracement before the next directional decision.
