Mastering some common chart trend patterns is important so that you can quickly recognize them each time you observe the charts. Being familiar with these formations is indeed convenient, but the real key is understanding the logic behind them—never just memorize them blindly.

Rote memorization is useless and can even lead to losses. Because patterns themselves are static, while the market is active with real people. Especially with certain coins, behind the movements there are often a large group of skilled and thoughtful big players manipulating the market. They use their ingenuity to "dress up" local chart patterns, making them unrecognizable—adding embellishments, changing appearances, sticking on false eyelashes—so you can't tell the original form. Their best skill is creating seemingly false "signals" that look incredibly convincing but are actually meant to deceive the market.

But the logic is eternal.

This group of people also needs to survive and wants to profit from trading. During the back-and-forth, rules will be disrupted, but ultimately, a result will emerge. This is the fundamental logic of the market.

When encountering familiar-looking trend patterns, learn to think in reverse. Ask yourself: what could this represent? What is the underlying intention? Which possibilities are actually invalid? By using elimination, dismiss those illogical scenarios one by one, and what remains is the truth. Once you see through this, you'll understand what tricks the market is playing.

Technical patterns can deceive, but the underlying logic of trading never does.

Rote memorization patterns? You might as well burn your money faster. Big players are just drawing pie in the sky all day; we need to learn to think in reverse. Seemingly perfect patterns are often traps; logic is the key. Patterns deceive, but logic won't—this is the truth. Staring at the K-line every day is useless; it's better to consider who is playing what tricks behind the scenes. Fake signals are everywhere; what to do? Use elimination methods. To earn coins, first learn to see through the manipulations of the big players, really. The rules have been disrupted, but logic is always there. Thinking in reverse is easy to say but hard to do.

That's right, memorizing patterns just means giving money to the big players. These major traders have really turned K-line charts into works of art. Reverse thinking is indeed key, but honestly, most people are still easily trapped. Is logic eternal? Just listen, but in trading, logic can also be rewritten. Seeing through the tricks and actually making money are worlds apart. After a long process of elimination, I still got smashed down, laughing and crying. The deception of patterns has become a consensus, but the real challenge is how to identify which pattern is fake. The underlying logic is that big traders can do whatever they want, and retail traders can only guess. It's the same old story again, but do you know if it's useful?

Well said, but the reality is that 99% of people are still stubbornly stuck on candlestick charts, waiting to be harvested I've long understood the "fake eyelash" tactics used by market makers, but the key is that some new retail investors simply refuse to believe Traders with clear logic are doing quite well, while the rest are basically just paying tuition to the market Patterns can be deceptive, no doubt, but you need to understand why they play these tricks; where the money flows is the core This article hits hard because most people simply can't think in reverse Speaking of which, those who truly make money are never relying on recognizing classic patterns, but on understanding human nature

Damn, you're really right. Staring at the candlestick charts every day and memorizing triangles, flags, and other patterns, but in the end, you're still being cut off. The big players rely on this method to shake out the weak hands. The patterns you see have already been thoroughly destroyed by them. I agree with the idea of thinking in reverse, but it's really hard to implement in actual trading.

That's a brilliant statement; the form is just for show, the real game is in the dealer's mind.

Alright, it's the same old story, the logic is eternal. Why am I still losing badly? Thinking in reverse every day, reverse of reverse, and in the end, I realize I've been reversed multiple times. Honestly, I've seen too many tactics used by big funds. The "truth" uncovered through elimination is often just a "false appearance." It sounds rational, but in practice, it's all gambling.
