Recently, there's a very interesting phenomenon in the crypto circle: many people achieve 10x short-term gains through certain coins, and they get especially excited when looking at the profit screenshots. But frankly, this kind of earning method relies more on luck; whether you can survive long-term depends on solid skills. The wave of 10x gains yesterday? Instead of calling it luck, it's better to see it as the result of accurate technical signals.
To accurately grasp market rhythm, avoid trap sets by big players, and hit the right price increases every time, you must master these 10 candlestick indicators—not for every quick profit, but for stable survival.
**Moving Averages (MA)** are the lifeline of trend analysis. Buy when the 5-day/10-day moving average crosses above the 30-day line to form a golden cross; sell when it crosses below to form a death cross. But don’t just look at the moving averages; volume must be considered as well, otherwise you risk being fooled by manipulative traps of big players.
**Relative Strength Index (RSI)** acts like an overbought/oversold alarm. When RSI >70, it’s near the top; <30, near the bottom. Big players especially like to push RSI above 80 to lure in bulls or below 20 to trap bears, so relying solely on RSI can lead to pitfalls.
**Bollinger Bands (BOLL)** define the range of volatility. When the price approaches the upper band, consider selling; near the lower band, consider buying. The key is to watch for the Bollinger Bands to narrow—once they do, it often signals a big move is coming, but beware of false signals created by big players manipulating the upper and lower bands.
**MACD** is the trend signal light. A golden cross indicates a buy point, a death cross indicates a sell point. But the more advanced use is to look for divergence—when the price hits a new high but MACD doesn’t, this divergence often hints that big players are offloading, and the reverse is also true.
**Volume (VOL)** is like a true or false mirror for price movements. Large volume during an uptrend confirms genuine buying; large volume during a downtrend indicates accelerated decline. Be cautious of big players using massive volume to create false bottoms or tops.
**KDJ** is especially popular for short-term trading. K >80 indicates overbought, <20 indicates oversold. Big players often create golden crosses at high levels to lure bulls or death crosses at low levels to trap bears. Frequent short-term traders need to be especially careful.
**Bias (BIAS)** revolves around the idea that deviations tend to revert. When BIAS exceeds +20, a correction or pullback is likely; below -20, a rebound upward is probable. Using it with moving averages can improve accuracy by more than double.
**CCI** is used to detect extreme market conditions. CCI >+100 often appears at the top of crazy rallies; <-100 at the bottom of crashes. In trending markets, be especially cautious of manipulations by big players at these extreme levels.
**ATR** measures volatility. High values indicate fierce swings that can easily trigger stop-losses; low values suggest a stable market. Learning to set reasonable stop-loss and take-profit distances based on ATR can help avoid being wiped out by big players’ volatility.
**OBV** tracks capital flow. Rising OBV indicates funds entering the market; falling OBV shows funds exiting. When combined with price action, it helps identify whether big players are quietly offloading or accumulating.
Ultimately, there’s no such thing as easy money in the crypto world; big players are always counteracting. To survive longer and earn steadily, remember these points: don’t over-leverage (keep leverage under 3x), cut losses immediately when breaking support, don’t listen to insider tips, and avoid greed. Indicators + self-discipline + stop-loss are the three key tools to stand firm in the crypto circle.

I've been using MA with VOL for a long time, but the problem is I always get caught when the golden cross happens. It’s really frustrating.
---
It sounds good, but when the market maker operates in the opposite direction, retail investors simply can't compete. Instead of studying these ten indicators, it's better to learn how to exit quickly.

Stop loss, stop loss. We talk about stop loss every day, but as soon as you set one, the price goes up. What do you do?

Last year, I only exited because I saw MACD divergence. Indicators can be really deceptive.
Daring to claim precise timing just by understanding MACD divergence is laughable. The market maker can turn around at any moment.
Those 10x screenshots are survivor bias. Who saw the other 90 that got liquidated?
Complaining about holding 3x leverage with a stop loss is easy to say. Few can actually do it.
MA golden cross and death cross, VOL trading volume—relying on these indicators still depends on luck. Don’t fool yourself.
I just want to ask how many people using these 10 indicators have actually survived a full bear market. Setting stop-losses is easy to talk about but painful to actually do.
