New to reading Bitcoin? Start here.
Most people watch the price and understand nothing about why it moves. These ten short lessons fix that -- plain language, no jargon left unexplained, no hype, and no promises about what happens next.
If you check the Bitcoin price every day, feel a jolt when it's green and a knot in your stomach when it's red, but couldn't explain why it moved -- these lessons are for you. You don't need to be new to crypto to get value here; you just need to have never really learned how to read a chart, an indicator, or a "market regime" the way people who study this for a living do.
Each lesson is short, stands on its own, and links to a live example on this site so you can immediately see the idea in the real, current market. Work through them in order for a structured path, or jump straight to whichever one answers your current question.
Lesson 1 of 10
Candlesticks
how a single candle encodes open, high, low and close -- and what a string of them tells you that a line chart hides.
Lesson 2 of 10
Support and resistance
why price tends to pause or reverse at certain levels, and why those levels are zones, not exact lines.
Lesson 3 of 10
Moving averages (EMA)
what an EMA is, why a fast average crossing a slow one gets so much attention, and why a single cross is not proof of anything.
Lesson 4 of 10
RSI basics
what RSI actually measures (momentum, not price), how to read the 70/30 zones, and why they are not automatic buy/sell signals.
Lesson 5 of 10
Volatility
what volatility measures, why it's a risk gauge rather than a direction gauge, and why calm periods deserve attention too.
Lesson 6 of 10
Market regime
how to think about a 'market regime' as a weather report for conditions, not a forecast of tomorrow's price.
Lesson 7 of 10
Futures funding
why perpetual futures need a funding mechanism at all, and what an extreme funding reading typically signals about crowding.
Lesson 8 of 10
Drawdown
what drawdown measures, how it's different from a simple loss, and why surviving the drop matters more than any single gain.
Lesson 9 of 10
Position sizing
why how much you put into a position often matters more than whether you were right about direction.
Lesson 10 of 10

the presentation conventions used on every chart on this site, so you can read any of them at a glance.
