Recently, many traders have been discussing the opportunity for a market correction after recent price adjustments. I decided to organize my analysis thoughts, which also serves as a recap of my recent review.



The question is actually quite simple—after a continuous surge, should one enter during a pullback? My answer is yes, but only with a light position strategy. The core judgment is based on the resonance of three technical signals.

First, the moving average system. When the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average and begins to turn downward, this "death cross" signal is the first warning of a trend reversal. Next, look at trading volume. During the previous rally, volume gradually declined, which is a typical "volume-price divergence" phenomenon—prices are rising but trading volume is shrinking. Simply put, the upward momentum is insufficient, and the main funds are quietly distributing. Lastly, check the overbought indicator. The RSI has already broken through the 70 overbought line, indicating a very urgent need for a correction.

The probability of all three signals appearing simultaneously is not high, but once they do, it suggests that the chance of a correction exceeds 70%. That’s why I recommend a light position rather than a full-scale gamble.

At this point, many friends might wonder why only a light position. The reason is simple—cryptocurrency markets are far more volatile than traditional markets, and even the most precise technical analysis can fail in the face of sudden news. Even if all three indicators signal "a correction is coming," the market could suddenly reverse sharply. Therefore, the essence of a light position is to leave room for error, using small trades to hedge against this uncertainty. This has been a fundamental rule I’ve developed through years of trading experience.

Death cross + volume-price divergence + RSI breaking 70, this combination is indeed fierce, but I still don't believe it can reliably predict the crypto market. Holding a small position makes sense, but I'm worried about sudden positive news causing a sharp rise, and by then it's too late to regret. I tested this set of theories the day before yesterday, but it still got hit by a black swan. Three indicators resonating sounds professional, but in actual trading, often a single piece of news can wipe out everything. I feel that compared to analysis, mental state management is truly the core competitiveness.

Death cross volume-price divergence, RSI breakout, three signals stacking sound good, but when it comes to the critical moment, black swan events can still hit you hard.

Data shows that the last time someone was so confident with "three signals stacking a 70% probability," the market immediately reversed and surged by 22% [cold laugh]. Sincerely suggest everyone: light positions are correct, but don't be fooled by "iron laws"; there are no iron laws in the market. Interesting, another person who believes they can decode the market with RSI has appeared. Ironically, the biggest risk in the crypto market has never been technical failure, but rather the fact that too many people trust this technical approach. Objectively speaking, this analysis isn't bad, but it misses a key variable: black swans never follow charts.

Bearish crossover with volume-price divergence and RSI overbought—sounds very professional, but haven't you experienced enough of these sudden reversals in the market...

Death cross, volume-price divergence, RSI overbought—seeing all three signals together is indeed intense, but I still think this theory is easily shattered in this crazy crypto market.

Wait a moment, the combination of declining volume and death cross signals—I've seen this set of tactics too many times... According to on-chain data, these types of distribution signals are usually accompanied by abnormal transfer patterns from large account addresses. I agree with holding a light position, but we need to dig deeper into whether this pullback is a natural correction or if the big players are deliberately shaking out the market—these two scenarios require completely different operational strategies.

Holding a small position sounds smart, but I bet five bucks that someone will go all-in in the next second... --- Death cross + divergence between volume and price + RSI breaking 70, I believed in this combo last year, but ended up getting whipped out with a reverse spike. Now, seeing this kind of analysis just makes me reflexively want to cut losses. --- Good grief, it's the "tolerance space" excuse again. Basically, it's just fear of getting trapped, I get it. --- Three indicators combined with a 70% chance of a pullback? What about the remaining 30%? Are you guys just going to get liquidated directly? --- I like this analytical approach, but I wonder which coin you’re lightly holding that has the potential for a hundredfold increase [laugh-cry]. --- You're right, the crypto market is indeed more magical than traditional finance, but that also shows that sometimes technical analysis is just self-comforting. It’s better to bet on news than to rely solely on charts. --- I just want to know whether this "long-standing rule" was developed from experience or lost money. Sincerely asking. --- Holding a small position, and tolerating mistakes... sounds stable, but in reality? It’s still just betting on market sentiment.

Death cross + volume-price divergence + RSI breaking 70, the three signals stacking up is indeed impressive, but I still think this wave is likely to be trapped and killed.

*adjusts alchemical instruments* the transmutation math checks out, but tbh the real philosopher's stone here is risk-adjusted positioning... three confluence signals at 70% probability still leaves 30% for chaos to reign supreme, ngl

Bearish crossover with volume-price divergence and RSI overbought, sounds like a decline is coming, but I still can't trust this logic to guarantee a win.
