Support levels, resistance levels, channel lines, five-wave theory... These things are just the best tools used by market makers to create false signals in actual trading.

Carefully observing the market, you'll find that those textbook-standard patterns—such as classic V-shaped reversals, double tops, and triangle consolidations—are the most deceptive the more perfect they look. Why? Because market makers have long mastered these theories, and everyone who has traded knows that technical charts are essentially designed to deceive retail traders.

However, there are some fundamental rules that market makers cannot escape. In the market, certain basic principles are absolute: central zones, levels, trends, and consolidations. These are not tricks invented by individuals but the fundamental laws governing market operation. Just as no one can escape birth, aging, illness, and death, any participant—including market makers—must operate within this framework.

Therefore, the true value of technical analysis systems does not lie in the myriad indicators and patterns, but in understanding the mathematical essence of market operation. For traders with no inside information, mastering these basic laws is a relatively fair competitive advantage. Instead of chasing after classic patterns, it’s better to focus on understanding the intrinsic logic of the market—this is the real weapon against being deceived.
