One of the first and most critical skill you must master - How to PROPERLY identify Support/Resistance Levels.
Once you learn how to properly identify these levels you can quickly understand what the trend is doing or where price could go next.
Follow these basic guidelines:
💎 You need 2 touch points, but 3+ are better. The more touch points, the more powerful the level 💎 Look for price rejection at the same level (resistance) 💎 Look for price being respected and held up at the same level (support) 💎 You can use wicks or bodies but bodies are more powerful 💎 Indicators, Oscillators and Trendlines can all act or be used as S/R 💎 Practice on a Higher Time frame before moving to lower time frames
Advanced Techniques:
💎 When S/R lines up with FIBS, becomes much more powerful 💎 Look at Swing Highs (SH) and Swing Lows (SL) 💎 Use Moving Averages to find Support/Resistance 💎 S/R is not always an exact point or number. It can be a zone.
📚 Test your self
1. Open a 3D Chart and find 3 levels of support 2. Find 3 levels of resistance 3. Study what price action did after breaking through or holding either support or resistance 4. Practice on 5 other coins from your watch list. 5. Add the 50MA to your chart. Study how price reacts when it holds support or resistance.
