Artificial intelligence is no longer just participating in cryptocurrency trading — it is reshaping the very logic of how markets operate.

Recent market performance indeed reveals some clues. Lightning-fast crashes, suddenly evaporating liquidity, and bizarre trends that cannot be explained by traditional technical analysis — all point in the same direction.

As algorithms and AI systems control an increasing share of trading volume, the behavior patterns of the market will undergo qualitative changes. Traditional chart analysis and fundamental research become virtually useless at certain times. This is not market failure, but rather a quiet shift in the dominant forces of the market.

Understanding this could mean everything for traders' decision-making.

I've seen it for a long time, the candlestick chart is now just an AI playground, while we're here watching candles, AI has already run the fifth lap. To be honest, traditional TA is outdated; now we have to follow algorithms to make a living. You're right, this wave truly represents a paradigm shift in the market, we need to adapt to new rules. Wait, doesn't that make retail investors even worse off? Feels more and more like a casino. Who in this market can keep up with AI speed? Relying on heaven or earth is less reliable than relying on code. In an AI-dominated market, pure technical analysis is a thing of the past; now it's all about probability games. That's reasonable, but here's the question—how can we get stuck in AI's logic? That's why I don't look at anything now, just on-chain data and whale movements. But to be fair, AI isn't invincible; they can also compete against each other...

I've seen it all along. Now, trading cryptocurrencies with candlestick charts is useless; it's all robots dancing. Something's not right. With AI so powerful, can we really still make money? Traditional analysis is dead; this wave relies on algorithmic intuition. So now, we're earning AI's money. How can we compete with it? Chart analysis is now really just a decoration; everyone who understands is fed up. This is why retail investors are finding it increasingly difficult. The moment AI consumes liquidity, the game rules have changed.

I've seen it all along. Now retail investors and AI are playing completely different games. Charts? That thing has long been eaten to the point of nothing left. A sharp plunge is just the program clearing out positions, liquidity disappears instantly, haha, it's ridiculous. Rather than studying candlestick patterns, it's better to study what AI is thinking, but how is that even possible? As expected, only AI makes money, while we suffer heavy losses. One thought from the algorithm, and we end up with a bunch of losing orders. So now, anyone still looking at daily charts is a bit 🎯. This is the true evolution of the market; the rest is just self-comfort.

Damn, this is the real truth. I've been wondering for months why I couldn't understand the candlestick charts anymore. AI is playing, and we're just along for the ride. It's that simple. The nice way to say it is "market reshaping," but frankly, it's artificial intelligence harvesting retail investors. One word: lie flat, let AI do the earning. But to be fair, people who understand this logic are indeed making money. I'm still losing... Traditional technical analysis? It's been obsolete for a long time, buddy.

Algorithms eat retail investors for breakfast, and I still need to study it? --- Damn, no wonder I've been getting stopped out recently... --- Doesn't that mean we're not really playing the market, but an AI playground? --- No wonder the candlestick charts are now just decorations; I should have completely cleared my positions long ago. --- Translate this for me, I mean, it means we can't win at all. --- Those who tell me that you can make money by reading charts are all liars, really. --- So now the market is just whatever AI wants to do? Damn. --- I just want to know if ordinary people still have any way to survive and leave this market. --- The logic makes sense, but why do I feel even more hopeless?

The thing about AI-controlled markets is essentially the new era's market makers. Retail investors are still looking at K-lines, while their algorithms have already finished eating. Seriously, can anyone really understand AI's logic? I can't see through it anyway. Stop joking. Traditional analysis has long been dead. Now it's all about who can guess what AI is thinking next. Those outrageous moves in the futures market are 100% robots battling each other, while we watch from the sidelines. To put it simply, trading cryptocurrencies now is just a contest to see who can go more crazy with AI. I prefer to stay laid-back and safe. If you still think you can make money through technical analysis in this wave, you're just asking for trouble.

I've seen it all along, the chart-based approach is completely outdated. Humans simply can't keep up with the logic of AI, really. So now it's all about competing algorithms against algorithms? Feels like we can't win. This is exactly what I've been saying all along—retail investors need to wake up. The market has long ceased to be something we can play with.
