Someone smart once shared this with me: Don't chase the charts—chase the narrative.

Think about it. Price action matters, sure. But what really moves markets? It's where everyone's attention flows. The buzz, the hype, the fear, the FOMO—that's the actual fuel. Your candlesticks and indicators? They're just the aftermath.

Most traders stare at their screens obsessed with technical setups. Meanwhile, the real move happens in Twitter threads, Discord servers, and community sentiment. By the time the chart confirms it, insiders already positioned.

The game isn't about reading the market perfectly. It's about reading what the market is about to care about.

Alright, alright, this is exactly what I've been trying to say. The technical analysis approach is outdated; now it's all about information asymmetry. The people in Discord act before the K-line, and charts are just stories for retail investors to look at.

To be honest, focusing on storytelling is really much smarter than just watching candlestick charts. I used to be a technical analysis fanatic... now I've completely turned around.

Wow, this is the real truth. We've been fooled by the candlestick charts for too long [rocket]

To be honest, I only fully understand this principle now... Sticking to K-line analysis earlier was really a waste of time.

Sounds good, but honestly, those who chase narratives often end up being chased by the narratives themselves.

To be honest, this guy has a point... I used to watch K-lines every day, but I realized I was always a step behind. It wasn't until later that I understood the real opportunities were already set when those folks on Twitter and Discord started hyping it up. By the time your chart shows it, it's already too late.

Wow, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say... Following narratives is way more satisfying than chasing K-lines. Honestly, the emotions of that group on Discord often react before the technical charts do. By the time the chart confirms, it's already too late.
