Goal: read news to understand the market, not to FOMO or panic.
1️⃣ Don't confuse important news with clickbait.
Newbies often make the mistake: seeing news and jumping into trades.
In reality, not every news item deserves a reaction.
• Important news: interest rates, CPI, FED, ETF, legal issues, large cash flows.
• Fun/clickbait news: “coming x100”, “insider reveals”, “don’t buy, you’ll regret it”.
👉 Simple rule: the more sensational the headline → the more carefully it needs to be read.
⸻
2️⃣ Read the headlines to know what's happening, don't trust the headlines
Headlines are created to attract clicks, not to make buying or selling decisions.
The correct way to read:
• Skim the headlines → open the article
• Look for specific data (price, volume, time)
• Compare at least 2–3 sources
👉 A statement without numbers → read to know, don't trade.

3️⃣ Macroeconomic news sounds difficult but is very simple to understand
You don't need to learn advanced economics, just remember these points:
• Interest rates increase → money withdraws from risky assets
• Interest rates decrease → money comes back to crypto
• Strong USD → crypto often gets pressured on price
👉 Summary: cheap money increases easily, expensive money is hard to increase.
⸻
4️⃣ Tin on-chain & cash flow: just look at the trend is enough
No need to analyze confusing data tables.
Just pay attention:
• Big players are depositing coins on exchanges → may be about to sell
• Coins withdraw from exchanges → holding trend
• Volume increases but price stays still → watch out for distribution
👉 Core question: is money coming in or out?
⸻
5️⃣ Good news but price doesn't increase → must be cautious
This is a trap that many people fall into:
• Has the price increased before
• Good news comes later
• Retail jumps in → big players sell
👉 Remember: the market usually runs before the news, not the other way around.
⸻
6️⃣ Quick checklist before acting
Before clicking buy/sell, ask yourself:
• Does this news have short-term or long-term impact?
• Has the price already run before?
• Is there data or just rumors?
• Is the crowd FOMOing or scared?
If you can't answer → stay out.

📌 Conclusion for newbies:
Reading news is not for immediate reaction, but to understand the context.
Don't understand → don't trade. Don't trade → still have money.
