In this concise monologue, The Art of Crypto emphasizes that traders should not act on personal opinions or predictions about support levels. Instead, they must wait for concrete market evidence—such as a shift in order flow toward bullishness, a change of state, a break of market structure, or a confirmed CISD (Change In Structure Direction)—before entering a long position. The speaker outlines a disciplined entry plan: enter on confirmation, place a stop loss below the identified support, and set a profit target, while warning that premature, opinion‑driven entries lead to false trades and unnecessary risk.

the order flow is now starting to shift towards a bullish direction. Just because I think that this is likely going to be support does not mean that it is going to be support, because this is just what I think, and you don't want to be trading what I think. I don't even trade what I think. I trade what the market's showing me. So once you have an opinion, you got to wait for the market to give you proof, all right, to give you confirmation that, okay, it agrees with whatever you think. I think that if this is going to be support, then from here you're going to see some sort of change in state of delivery or some sort of break of structure or some sort of market structure shift, whatever trading system you're using. But you gotta see that. And once it comes back, right, once you get the CISD, then you go long, right? You place your entry there, you place your stop loss down below, and you target for whatever you're targeting. But the key thing here is to not jump in preemptively, right? That's how you risk getting into a lot of false trades.
