What is technical analysis and why is it useful?

Technical analysis (TA) is a systematic approach to assessing potential price movements based on historical data: price charts, trading volumes, and indicators. Unlike fundamental analysis, which attempts to answer the question “Why is this asset worth exactly this much?”, technical analysis in most cases answers the question: “When and where should I enter and exit a trade?”.

How does cryptocurrency trading with TA work? In most cases, technical analysis of cryptocurrencies occurs in three stages:

1. First, the trader assesses the current market situation;
2. Then, they look for similar situations in the past: in price movements, volumes, and indicators (these are also called patterns);
3. After that, based on the patterns found, they build a forecast of the asset’s future price movement.

In the final stage, it is important to understand the following:

1. Indicators do not predict market movements with mathematical precision – they show market conditions that a trader can interpret as signals. For example, if an indicator signals a buy, it means that in similar situations in the past, the price tended to rise;
2. Indicators are based on price and volume. And price and volume are the main data points a trader relies on.

Despite the limitations listed above, technical analysis has taken on special significance in cryptocurrency trading due to the market’s novelty and the lack of a wide range of analytical tools (though the situation is improving). According to Binance, TA ranks second in terms of frequency of use among all possible approaches to Bitcoin trading – right after algorithmic trading algorithmic trading. This popularity is driven, in particular, by the principles of technical analysis. Let’s examine them in more detail.

The five tenets of TA

All technical analysis is based on several fundamental assumptions:

1. The market accounts for everything. The price chart reflects the behavior of all market participants: investors, traders, market makers, arbitrageurs, and others. Any widely known information (for example, the market’s reaction to certain news) is already “priced in” by default;
2. Prices shift according to trends. And trends have momentum. This means that once a movement begins, it is more likely to continue than to reverse – until clear signs of a change in direction appear. When the price rises, traders speak of a bullish trend (upward trend); when it falls, of a bearish trend (downward trend);
3. History repeats itself in a new form. Market psychology remains constant: fear, greed, indecision, and other human emotions are reflected in the same price patterns. This is precisely why the patterns described as early as the mid-20th century continue to work today;
4. Support and resistance levels. These are the zones where buy or sell orders accumulate. In such areas, sharp price changes occur – breakouts and retracements from these levels;
5. A single signal source is insufficient for a trade. Any signal requires confirmation from another signal, and ideally – from a signal operating on a different principle. For example, a professional trader may simultaneously consider the trend direction, support/resistance levels, price patterns, indicator readings, and current trading volume data – and enter a trade only when signals from multiple sources align.

Technical analysis tools

Over the years of technical analysis development, traders and analysts have created a multitude of tools. Generally, they can be divided into six main categories:

1. Trend-following tools – trend lines and moving averages (SMA, EMA, and others). Moving averages are used to smooth out market noise and show the prevailing price movement over a selected time interval (period). Commonly used patterns include price crossing the moving average or two moving averages of different periods crossing each other;
2. Oscillators – RSI, MACD, Stochastic, and others. Oscillators have scales within which their data fluctuates. This form of display allows for identifying areas of market “overheating” – these are also called overbought/oversold zones. For example, an RSI above 70 signals a possible impending price decline (correction), while below 30 signals a possible impending price increase (rebound);
3. Volatility indicators – Bollinger Bands, ATR, ATR and other tools. They help assess how strongly and quickly the price is changing. For example, a decline in ATR and a narrowing of Bollinger Bands may indicate a potential sharp price change;
4. Volume – OBV, Volume Profile. Volume indicates the number of trades that traders execute at a specific price. A price movement confirmed by high volume is significantly more reliable than a movement without such confirmation. For example, Volume Profile shows at which price levels the bulk of traders’ trades are concentrated – the price may be drawn toward or repelled from these points on the chart;
5. Chart or price patterns – such as “head and shoulders,” “double bottom/double top,” “flags,” “triangles,” etc. This also includes candlestick patterns – a specific subset of chart patterns – a legacy of Japanese traders. Patterns appear as specific price configurations on the chart and reflect the psychological behavior of the mass of traders: the struggle for price levels, and the accumulation and distribution of traders’ market orders;
6. Additional tools. On top of classic technical analysis tools, traders use a variety of supplemental methods. These help count waves, identify key levels, predict reversals, etc. Such tools include, for example: the Fibonacci grid (for identifying reversal and continuation levels), the Ichimoku cloud ((a comprehensive indicator from the Japanese trading system), Elliott Wave Theory and Gann’s methods

The crypto market and the specifics of using TA

Technical analysis of cryptocurrencies is no different from other analysis methods, but it has its own characteristics that must be taken into account:

1. The crypto market operates 24/7, without weekends or holidays. This eliminates price gaps that are characteristic of the stock market and makes the chart “cleaner” in terms of technical patterns;
2. High volatility (rapid price changes) and a huge number of trading bots create a high level of market noise, which is particularly noticeable on short timeframes;
3. Market decentralization. Cryptocurrency prices can vary significantly, as data comes from different sources. Because of this, volumes, indicator values, and patterns on different exchanges may also differ.

All of this does not make technical analysis inapplicable to trading in the crypto market, but it imposes specific limitations.

Limitations of technical analysis in the crypto market

Technical analysis is based on a probabilistic mechanism. Therefore, some of its tools may be impractical for use in the crypto market. Below is a list of issues a trader may encounter when using TA in the cryptocurrency market:

1. Manipulation. The crypto market has large coin holders – so-called “whales.” Their actions can drastically alter price dynamics and negate signals from indicators and patterns. Technical analysis allows you to see the result of their actions on the chart, but cannot warn you about them in advance;
2. Low liquidity of altcoins (all currencies other than Bitcoin). Many altcoins are characterized by low trading volume on exchanges, which means even small trades can significantly affect the price. This leads to an increase in the number of false breakouts and incorrect oscillator signals;
3. Current events sensitivity. Statements from regulators, listings, exchange hacks, hard forks, and other similar occurrences (not only from the world of cryptocurrencies) – all of this can drastically change the technical picture a trader sees. At such moments, the price does not move according to familiar patterns, but rather due to rapidly shifting market participants’ expectations.

At the same time, technical analysis remains one of the key tools for cryptocurrency traders – largely because the crypto market is still developing, and there are no established evaluation methods that consistently perform better. When combined with fundamental and on-chain analysis, as well as other approaches, TA allows for the development of a more reliable system for assessing the situation and forecasting price movements.

Time frames, cryptocurrency, and technical analysis

It is generally accepted that technical analysis of cryptocurrencies is determined by the time frame on which the analysis is conducted. In a market as unique as the cryptocurrency market, this relationship is particularly pronounced.

On lower timeframes or short intervals (minute and hourly charts), the level of market noise is significantly higher than in the stock market. 24/7 trading, high volatility, and the activity of algorithmic strategies lead to frequent false signals. Trading volume indicators on short intervals also often do not reflect overall market data and may be applicable only to a specific trading platform. On daily and weekly charts, the impact of noise decreases, and price movements become smoother. Therefore, experienced traders recommend using technical analysis on timeframes of one day or longer.

Technical analysis remains one of the key tools in the cryptocurrency market. When combined with on-chain analysis, cluster analysis, order book analysis, and fundamental analysis, it allows for a more accurate assessment of market conditions and helps traders make informed decisions.Alexander Zyl
