Title: How I Personally Analyze the Crypto Market Before Placing Any Trade (My 5-Step Process)
Crypto is wild.
One day, BTC is pumping 10%, the next, it dumps into the abyss. It’s what makes crypto fun, but also dangerous if you don’t have a system.
In this post, I’ll share how I personally analyze the crypto market before entering a trade. Whether I’m trading BTC, ETH, or some DeFi coin, I stick to this process.
Step 1: Look at Bitcoin First
Bitcoin leads the market.
Before I touch anything else—whether it’s altcoins or memecoins—I check what BTC is doing. If it’s dumping, most alts are too. If it’s ranging, I wait
Step 2: Check Crypto News
Sometimes, price pumps or dumps because of news—like ETF approvals, hacks, or regulations.
I check:
CoinDesk
Cointelegraph
[Twitter/X crypto accounts like @CryptoCobain, @TheDefiEdge]*
Step 3: Technical Analysis
I’m not one for 10 indicators. I use:
Support/Resistance zones
Volume
RSI for divergence
Most of my analysis is on the 4H and 1D charts.
Step 4: Sentiment Check
I check:
Fear & Greed Index
Funding Rates
Open Interest
If everyone’s euphoric, I tread carefully. If they’re scared, it might be a good time to long.
Step 5: Set Entry, SL, and TP
I always calculate risk. If I’m risking $5, I want to potentially make at least $10.
I use tools like:
CoinMarketCap calculator
Binance’s Futures calculator
Final Thoughts: The market changes fast, but my system keeps me grounded. You don’t need to be perfect—just consistent. Follow a process, and your edge will develop.
