My trading approach operates differently from conventional analysis—it's built on pattern recognition rather than textbook indicators.

Last November, I spotted a BTC momentum shift that most traders were missing. I called it clearly back then: Bitcoin was far from done, still deeply bullish with significant upside ahead.

What's amusing? Prominent crypto voices across social platforms were preaching the opposite narrative. Some were genuinely convinced BTC would tank to $70K levels. The bearish calls were everywhere, pretty confident too.

Turns out diverging from the crowd sometimes pays off. While others were extrapolating downside, the chart was already telling a different story. BTC proved the skeptics wrong.

This is exactly why I don't follow consensus—the real opportunities usually hide where most people refuse to look.

Haha, last year's bearish wave really got slapped in the face. They're still pretending to be dead now. Honestly, following the trend to buy indicators is really easy to fall into traps; pattern recognition is the right way. In November, I also saw it coming—some people just wouldn't believe it and insisted on waiting for 70K. Counter-trend trading is profitable, that's no lie. So on-chain data is the most honest, charts don't lie. Listening to the big influencers' arguments is fine, but don't really believe them.

Smart people are operating in reverse, only rookies follow the trend and call for short positions Damn! This is the true essence of trading; most people simply don't understand what the market is saying This pattern recognition method is indeed excellent, much more reliable than those broken indicators I also sensed that wave in November, but unfortunately I didn't have any holdings, now a painful lesson No matter what the bears call, the charts will speak; in the face of facts, everyone stays silent This is the difference between making money and losing money; only those who dare to be different can earn big Everyone has fallen into the consensus trap at some point; learning to think in reverse is the starting point

Hmm... Pattern recognition sounds good, but this set of logic is poison in a high leverage environment. A black swan event causes the health factor to spike directly, triggering liquidation prices instantly, and chain liquidations leave no room for negotiation.

I just want to ask, does the 70K short now hurt your face? Looking at charts is the real way, this group of followers always lose money. Last year, I also sensed something was wrong, but I didn't dare to act. Now I regret it to death. Pattern recognition is truly excellent, much more reliable than a bunch of technical indicators. Following the trend always leads to poverty; contrarian thinking is the way to make money, brother. That's why I never listen to big V influencers; I do the opposite of what they say. When Bitcoin was rising, the comment section was still full of shorts. I really can't understand. Those with insight had already jumped in; now it's too late to react.

This is the winning mindset of reverse thinking; most people are emotionally hijacked. Pattern recognition is indeed more effective than looking at indicators; when others panic, the charts tell the truest story. How are the bearish voices from last year doing now? The feeling of being proven wrong is probably not very pleasant. Truly daring to go against the consensus is rare; the difficulty level is extraordinary. When the big short sellers called for 70K, I already knew the outcome. Following the herd is the most expensive trading habit, bar none. Data can lie, but patterns won't deceive. Only in moments like these can you see who really has talent and who is just blowing smoke.
