The cryptocurrency market ultimately boils down to two types of people. One is the institutions or big players who control large amounts of funds and can influence prices and chart trends in the short term—let's call them M. The other is retail investors, the passive party.

M manipulates price movements and market news behind the scenes. If you don't understand their game rules, you're just a market practice partner. But what if you figure out their tricks? Then it works the other way—you can make money from the market. The key isn't to find out who they are or where they live, but to learn how to interpret their behavior. To put it simply, every market move is carefully planned by them.

How do these major institutions operate? They divide the market into various trading ranges, big and small. Buying points are always at the bottom, selling points at the top. In other words, they exit right when retail investors are most greedy, and they enter when retail investors are panic-selling. For example, creating a long bullish candlestick in a ranging market is meant to take action at a high point; creating a long bearish candlestick is to scare retail investors away and to scoop up low-position holdings.

Once you understand this logic, you'll pay less tuition fees.
