Short spoken segment from a trading-focused YouTube video by The Art Of Crypto arguing traders should react to market signals rather than predict movements. The speaker emphasizes using predetermined conditions (e.g., price closing below an order block and a flip to resistance) to switch bias from long to short, and warns against trading from a preconceived market vision.
The best way to think about when you can start, you know, fading this is to set, like, predetermined conditions. In this instance, I would say, okay, this is a really strong order block at the moment. If price closes below this order block comes back up to flip it as resistance, then I may start looking for shorts. But until that happens, it's like everything is pointing towards the upside. And this is the biggest struggle that I see with, like, new developing traders. It's like they have an idea of what the market should look like, and instead of trading what the market's telling them, they're trading their vision of what the market is supposed to do. And that's what screws up a lot of people, right? And in this case, everything's pointing towards the upside. And so we trade it to the upside until it stops giving us upside signals and then we reverse it. Right? Your job as a trader is not to predict, it is to read and react. And right now, based on what I can see, it's definitely pointing towards the upside.
