During those chaotic moments on the candlestick charts, traders are often at their worst losses. Over the years, I’ve seen too many people crash in the digital asset market. Their losses are usually not because they see the wrong direction, but because they can’t resist the urge to act.

The pattern hasn’t emerged clearly, signals are fuzzy, yet they rush to place orders, afraid of missing the opportunity. But what’s the result? The market gives them a loud slap in the face. I’ve also suffered such losses, and later summarized eight words: Don’t look at chaotic lines, don’t buy when the pattern is scattered. This has become my survival mantra in digital asset trading.

**Why do most people easily fall into traps in chaotic markets?**

Imagine a scene like Bitcoin—moving averages frequently entangled, price bouncing up and down within a certain range, with no clear direction. The highs and lows are a mess, support and resistance are virtually useless, and you can’t tell where to enter or where to set stop-loss.

Trading in such a market is like shooting in thick fog. Hitting the target depends entirely on luck; missing is the norm.

You’ll notice a clear feature of this kind of market: candlestick structures lack direction, and prices fly around like headless flies. You think you’ve found a support level, only to be smashed through; your identified resistance level is broken in the blink of an eye.

It took me a long time to realize that some markets are truly unpredictable—and admitting this is precisely the most valuable wisdom in trading. The difference between many experts lies in their clear understanding of when to act and when to stand by. This restraint itself is a huge competitive advantage.
