Over the past few years in the crypto world, I've come to understand one truth more and more — all complex technical indicators are essentially just packaging of volume and price.

Many people study all kinds of fancy indicators every day, like MACD, Bollinger Bands, RSI, playing them skillfully, but still end up losing money in a confusing way. The problem isn't with the indicators themselves, but with not understanding the underlying logic.

Volume and price are the real truths of the market. For the price to rise, there must be trading volume to support it. A rise without volume? That's probably the main force enticing more buyers, and retail investors who are slow to react end up holding the bag.

The crypto space isn't short of all kinds of "black tech" indicators and "must rise" formulas, but what’s really lacking is a true understanding of capital flow. Whether the market can run depends on whether there is genuine strength driving it. Where is this strength hidden? It’s in the changes in trading volume.

Instead of being confused by those complicated formulas, it's better to first master the relationship between volume and price. Those who can truly grasp the market are always those who first learn to read volume and price. Once the direction is clear and you follow the rhythm, you can survive longer in this market.
