THE SUMMIT POST #4

A matter of perspective

Marco Johanning

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the fourth edition of my newsletter!

Every Saturday I’ll be sending out a quick newsletter on how to master crypto.

I cover topics like mindset, trends, and analysis, along with recommended readings from other authors. 

Today, I focus on perspective.
I look at the topic from two different perspectives.

First

While I was climbing, a conversation caught my attention. A guy was discussing his recent blood results, initially bad but now showing improvement.

Curiosity got the better of my climbing partner, and he inquired about it. To our surprise, we discovered that this person had undergone a kidney transplant.

It was a true gift for him to be able to enjoy activities like climbing.

It's essential to be mindful of the perspective we choose.

It made me reflect on how fortunate I am to possess two healthy kidneys, and not only that, but also to have a healthy heart, a loving wife, and a son.

Granted, life is far from easy, especially when it comes to family matters that often bring challenges.

Yet, it's in those moments of difficulty that we also find immense joy and laughter.

It all boils down to the perspective we choose to adopt.

Second

This morning I wrote this thread about candlestick patterns:

Candlestick patterns provide one lens through which we can analyze market behavior.

For example, a Hammer pattern indicates a potential bullish trend reversal. However, if we examine the moving averages (MAs) for the same timeframe, we may see the shorter MA crossing over the longer MA, providing the same signal.

Each indicator and candlestick has its own language to describe price action, offering a unique perspective on one same thing: market behavior.

Sometimes you have to add different perspectives to get the whole picture.

It's crucial to be multilingual in this context and learn to interpret these different perspectives. Sometimes they align, confirming a particular narrative.

However, there are instances when they diverge, telling conflicting stories. This is known as a divergence. If one indicator or the chart appears bullish while another suggests bearishness, it's important to exercise caution as it may be a fakeout.
