Best indicators for crypto trading?
← Back to Trading Talk
Forget indicators, follow the money. On-chain analysis > technical analysis. Whale wallet movements tell you more than any chart pattern.
Bollinger Bands saved my portfolio multiple times. When price touches the lower band with high volume, that's usually a strong buy signal in bull markets.
I use EMA ribbons (8, 21, 55, 200) combined with VWAP. Simple but effective. Don't overcomplicate your charts with 20 different indicators.
RSI and MACD are the basics but honestly volume profile is the most underrated indicator. Shows you exactly where the big players are positioned.
RSI divergences on the 4H timeframe have been my most reliable signal. Combine with volume profile and you have got a solid edge. Keep it simple - too many indicators just creates noise.
Indicators are lagging by nature. I switched to order flow and liquidation heatmaps and it completely changed my trading. The data from exchanges tells you where the money actually is.
Weekly MACD crossovers have been insanely reliable for catching major trend shifts. Not great for day trading but for swing trades it has been my bread and butter for 3 years.
