#数字资产市场动态 Let's talk about how to use candlestick charts to find entry points. To put it simply, there are six key factors to master: the overall trend, position, and volume confirmation.

**The overall trend is fundamental**

First, look at the overall movement. When the market is rising, look for opportunities to go long; when it's falling, wait for the right moment to go short. Don't go against the trend—that's the fastest way to lose money. Of course, unless you see clear reversal signals like engulfing patterns, hammer candles, or morning stars, it's best to trade in the direction of the trend.

**Position determines success or failure**

This is especially important. Only go long near support levels, only go short near resistance levels. No matter how perfect a candlestick pattern looks, if it appears in a "middle ground" or indecisive area, the success rate drops immediately. Choosing the right position can double your chances of success.

**Volume is the real indicator**

Volume-price confirmation is the core logic. During an uptrend, volume must increase to be convincing; during a downtrend, increased volume indicates genuine selling pressure. Breakouts without volume support? Nine times out of ten, it's a false move—don't follow the hype.

Candlestick patterns are just validation tools. They only make sense when used in the right context and aligned with the current trend.

**Indicators are for reference, not prophecy**

Moving averages, MACD, and other indicators are useful for confirming trend strength, but don't rely on them to predict the future. They are helpers, not the main actors.

Finally, a heartfelt reminder: before entering a trade, always think carefully about where to set your stop-loss. Managing your losses is the prerequisite for being able to talk about profits.
