Many people are troubled by candlestick charts but overlook a fact—the instability of prices is not primarily due to technical or fundamental factors, but because global consensus is shaking violently.

Whenever geopolitical conflicts escalate, the market's first reaction is hesitation. This hesitation is not panic but a rational wait-and-see—investors are reassessing risks and redefining the meaning of safe assets. In this process, the crypto market often becomes a representative of risk assets and is the first to be sold off.

From another perspective, this precisely indicates a problem: when the world's consensus is still oscillating, any single price support appears fragile. This is not a bear market signal but a market digesting greater uncertainty. The true bottom often appears at the moment when consensus is reformed.

actually, this is peak game theory in motion—when macro consensus fractures, crypto becomes the canary in the coal mine. ppl obsessing over ta charts totally miss the forest here tbh

In simple terms, the main issue is that the macro consensus hasn't been established, so watching K-line charts for a long time is pointless. The true bottom will only be confirmed once the global consensus is re-established, and it's still early. When consensus wavers, technical indicators are all unreliable. Instead of focusing on charts, it's better to observe geopolitical developments, which are the main story. What does a fragile price indicate? It shows that now is definitely not a good time to enter. I agree. Wait until the consensus stabilizes before taking action; it's pointless to hesitate now. Investors are waiting for signals, which is rational. It's not just about panic. Cryptocurrencies are being sold off first, which is normal—it's the fate of risk assets. The bottom appears at the moment when consensus is being rebuilt, and that says it all.

You're right, consensus wobbling is exactly how it works. Those who watch K-line charts every day are really wasting their time; macro is the big boss. --- Instead of guessing the bottom, it's better to wait until consensus stabilizes before jumping in. Right now, it's all just a false alarm. --- Damn it, it's geopolitical issues again. My coins are being thrown out as risk assets just like that. --- So there's really no need to panic this time? Is the opportunity only when consensus is reshaped? How much longer do I have to wait? --- Honestly, not many people understand this logic; most are still drawing lines. --- Wait, does this mean the current bottom isn't real? So when should I buy the dip, my friend?

That makes sense. When the consensus was wavering, the technical aspect indeed became a paper tiger.

ngl, everyone's obsessed with chart patterns when the actual problem is way bigger... macro consensus breaking down hits different than any TA could predict, tbh. learned this the hard way during the last geopolitical spiral. crypto gets nuked first, always does—risk asset tax, basically.

Honestly, consensus is much more important than K-line charts. I didn't expect that before. This wave of decline is the market searching for new beliefs. Why panic? When will the bottom come? Wait until the whole world shares a unified idea, haha. I bet consensus will lead the price rebound. It's not a bad time to buy now. Instead of looking at candlestick charts, it's better to pay attention to the news, really.

That's right, constantly watching the candlestick charts is like staring at your own face in a mirror; you can't see what's happening around you. This wave of decline is actually the world re-voting, we're just the ones running alongside. The moment when consensus is reformed... It sounds simple, but who can really pinpoint the timing? It's all just a gamble. Studying support and resistance levels every day, but in reality, a single policy from the central bank can render all that useless haha. Do we even need to predict geopolitical situations? Prices are fragile because everyone is waiting for everyone else, which is absurd. In the end, the ones truly bottom-fishing are definitely those fools who don't follow the news. So should we buy now or just lie low? The consensus is still wavering, so claiming we've hit the bottom now would be self-deception.

On-chain data is the truth during consensus fluctuations. I don't believe that this wave isn't being secretly manipulated by whales.

That's right, watching the charts until you're dizzy is useless; the key is to look at the overall big picture. This wave of consensus shake really hits hard; many people are still looking at MACD, not realizing that geopolitics is the real dominant factor. Honestly, those who are bottom-fishing now are betting on when the consensus will stabilize, which is much more reliable than technical analysis. The real opportunity will come when the global consensus recovers.
