Honestly, who would’ve thought that the measly fifty thousand in my account at the beginning could snowball to the size it is now? Over these years, riding the volatility of the crypto market, I’ve truly tasted what it’s like to leap across social strata—financial freedom is no longer just talk.

If I hadn’t stumbled into this space back then, I’d probably still be stuck in a cubicle doing 996—either getting picked on by my boss or wrangling with a difficult client. To be frank, chances for a turnaround like this are something many people never encounter in a lifetime, or even dare to imagine.

“Living a day like ten years” is no exaggeration in this market. Every day there’s a reshuffling of wealth, with opportunities so plentiful it makes you dizzy. I’m genuinely bullish on the future—2026 might even spark an early bull market, and the strength that follows could exceed everyone’s expectations. How high can it go? Where’s the ceiling? No one can say for sure.

That’s this market: full of uncertainty, yet brimming with infinite possibilities.

Back to technical analysis—when it comes to candlestick patterns, everyone’s probably heard of the classic book Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques. But honestly, it’s too textbook; it catalogs patterns thoroughly, yet falls a bit short on real-world applicability. Plenty of people grind through it only to find they still can’t use it, and they’re just as confused when they look at charts.

Today, let’s look at candlesticks from a different angle—skip the rigid definitions and focus on the game-theory logic behind the market, showing you how to read the true balance of power between buyers and sellers from the candles. That’s the kind of practical insight you can plug straight into your trading.
