#数字资产市场动态 The Trap of Technical Analysis: Why the Deeper the Research, the Faster the Losses

Spending a long time in the crypto world, you’ll notice a painful pattern—those who are most obsessed with indicators, on-chain data, and various opinions tend to lose the most quickly.

Once upon a time, I was also like this. Staring at candlestick charts every day, stacking all kinds of indicators, tracking influencers’ comments, afraid of missing any signals. And what happened? My account was like a roller coaster, my mindset fluctuating with the market. I was drawn in by claims of "data anomalies" to buy the dip, only to be scared out by talk of "whales dumping" and cut my losses. The more I analyzed, the more confused my decisions became, and the more frequently I traded.

It wasn’t until my account shrank significantly that I stopped to reflect.

**The turning point for a comeback is simple: do less.**

I removed all the once-valued indicators like MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands… from my trading interface. Only a candlestick and a moving average remained on the screen. Like relearning, I spent 20 minutes each day reviewing, quietly marking support and resistance levels, and ingraining the principle of "not chasing highs, not gambling at the bottom" into my mind.

Wonderful changes followed.

When I let go of the obsession with "completely controlling the market," trading became clearer. No matter how the market fluctuates, because I carry a clear trading logic in my mind. Sticking to this simple system, I surprisingly accumulated substantial profits. Those who trade based on "feelings" and "luck" will never earn this kind of money.

**The most painful truth in the crypto world: we are not fighting the market, but fighting our own greed and fear.**

The market makers’ weapon is creating complex illusions and information overload, causing us to lose ourselves in chaos. The antidote is exactly the opposite—return to the most basic rules.

Someone asked me, "Do you still study those complex indicators?"

I smiled and said, "No. Now I only focus on how to firmly stick to the simplest trading discipline."

Because I’ve realized this: the surface of the market is always complex, and human weaknesses are always rooted in greed. The only cure is to build a sufficiently simple and robust trading system, then repeatedly practice it with willpower.

Starting with small capital and earning to this day, my deepest insight is: over-research leads to over-trading, and over-trading accelerates losses. If you’re feeling confused about trading and losing frequently, try this minimalist approach—eliminate the dazzling information, keep only the core trading rules, and use your willpower to earn what you should.
