For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer.

Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
