In-depth analysis: Why is it said that cryptocurrency is the market where ordinary people can make money?
In the A-shares, US stocks, and cryptocurrency trading markets, what is our only equal footing with institutions? Only technical analysis, and only cryptocurrency can maximize the potential of technical analysis.
First, the A-shares are heavily influenced by policy, and sudden news can instantly break all technical patterns. Although there are T+1 and limit-up/down restrictions, which seem to 'protect', in fact, they limit returns and amplify passivity. There are many retail investors, and emotions run high, but the trading time is short (only 4 hours a day), making it difficult for office workers to monitor the market, and technical analysis often becomes 'post-explanation', difficult to use for precise timing.
US stocks have a mature system and stable long-term trends, suitable for dollar-cost averaging. However, the main players are quantitative funds and institutions, and the technical signals of ordinary people are often 'harvested'. Moreover, trading is concentrated in Eastern US time, requiring domestic investors to stay up late; coupled with exchange costs, complex taxes, and other issues, the threshold is relatively high. Technical analysis here is mainly used to validate trends or set stop-losses, rather than as a primary tool.
Cryptocurrency: 24-hour pure speculation, technical analysis as a weapon
The cryptocurrency market trades 7×24 hours, with no limit on price fluctuations, global participation, and transparent rules. It does not look at financial reports or listen to policies; prices are directly driven by capital and emotions—this is exactly the most effective soil for technical analysis. Support/resistance, volume-price divergence, RSI overbought/oversold signals react extremely sensitively, combined with high volatility, allowing short-term experts to quickly capture multiple market movements.
More importantly, the cryptocurrency ecosystem in 2025 is no longer just about 'speculating on coins': airdrops, staking, new project investments, DeFi mining, and other methods allow ordinary people, even without engaging in high-risk trades, to achieve returns far exceeding traditional financial management through knowledge and participation.
📉 3. The 'value' of technical analysis (TA) is the highest
Why does TA easily fail in A-shares/US stocks? A-shares: The characteristics of a policy-driven market are obvious. A sudden regulatory document or industrial policy can instantly render all technical patterns (such as head and shoulders, double bottoms) ineffective, leaving retail investors unprepared.
US stocks: Although the system is mature, it is severely dominated by institutions (quantitative trading, high-frequency trading). The technical analysis of ordinary people often only serves to 'carry the sedan chair' for institutions, easily being manipulated by large orders from main funds.
