When starting to trade cryptocurrencies, many people go through a stage:

They wish they could stare at the market for 24 hours.

BTC rises, take a quick look.

ETH falls, take another look.

Suddenly someone in the group calls out a trade, open the app.

At midnight, prices fluctuate, the urge to sleep vanishes in an instant.

It looks like a lot of effort, but in reality, it’s easy to fall into a cycle:

The more you see → the more emotions you have → the more you operate → the more confusing your judgments become.

Especially for new entrants to the market, the problem is often not "lack of information," but rather "not knowing what information is worth watching, when to watch it, and what to do afterward."

After all, the cryptocurrency market doesn’t stop trading just because you’re sleeping.

But that doesn’t mean you need to stay up all night with it.

Truly efficient market observation is closer to a type of “process management”:

Don’t monitor the market all the time, set alerts at key positions;
When the market changes, come back to analyze;
After analysis, if there are clear conditions, decide whether to act.

This is also why some market tools are genuinely valuable; it’s not about showing you more data, but helping you reorganize that data into a more executable process.

Take AiCoin as an example, it places functions like market data, candlestick charts, alerts, AI analysis, and capital movements in the same observation environment.

For beginners, instead of endlessly refreshing the app every day, it’s better to first get familiar with the following 5 features.

01｜Price Alerts: What you really need to focus on isn’t the price, but the “key positions”

The biggest time sink for many beginners is constantly checking prices.

Where has BTC risen to?

Did it just break through?

Is it going to suddenly crash?

So the app opens again and again.

But prices are changing every minute, making it hard to stay calm.

The significance of alerts is to turn “monitoring the market” into “waiting for conditions.”

For example, if you judge that BTC merits renewed attention only after breaking through a certain position, set a price alert directly.

ETH can likewise have crucial support and resistance levels set.

Even for coins you pay special attention to, you can set them in advance:

Breakthrough previous high → alert
Break below support → alert
Abnormal trading volume → alert

AiCoin supports various alert conditions like price breaking through, abnormal trading volume, and unusual capital flow. The PRO version also provides alerts for price, large orders, and trendline alerts.

This way, you don’t have to check market conditions every ten minutes.

If conditions aren’t triggered, just continue doing your own thing.

If triggered, come back to analyze.

For beginners, this might be the simplest and most sustainable “anti-monitoring” method.

 

02｜AI Interpretation of Candlestick Charts: Not understanding indicators doesn’t mean you can’t learn to see trends first

When opening a professional candlestick chart, beginners can easily be discouraged by various indicators.

What are moving averages?

How do you read the MACD?

Does a high RSI mean it will drop?

What exactly is the Bollinger Band indicating?

In the end, it often turns into:

After reviewing the indicators, still not knowing what to do now.

This is also where AI tools are particularly suitable for beginners.

In the AiCoin candlestick chart, you can directly use the [AI Interpretation of Candlestick Chart] feature, select the corresponding coin and time frame, and let AI summarize the current trend.

AI will explain the trend, key positions, and potential risks by combining the current candlestick patterns and related indicators.

It doesn’t solve "predicting up or down for you," but rather helps translate a complex candlestick chart into simple terms.

For example:

       Currently still in an upward structure, but some indicators show divergence, it’s necessary to pay attention to short-term correction risks.

For those just starting to learn technical analysis, the value of this explanation lies in:

First knowing what is happening in the market, then gradually understanding why.

Of course, AI analysis can only serve as a reference.

It can help improve your market observation efficiency, but it cannot bear the consequences of trading for you.

 

03｜小A Analysis: Instead of asking “buy or not”, it’s better to ask the question more specifically

Another very common scenario in the cryptocurrency community is:

A coin suddenly rises.

You don’t know why.

So you start browsing group chats, looking at KOLs, scrolling through X.

Someone says it broke through.

Someone says there will be a correction soon.

Others directly shout “to the moon.”

With information flooding in, your own judgment reduces.

At this moment, the role of 小A Analysis isn’t just to give you a simple “buy” or “sell.”

Rather, it allows you to express your questions directly in natural language.

For example:

       “Analyze BTC on a 4-hour chart.”

     “What is the current trend of SOL?”

     “Is this breakthrough effective?”

     “What resistance is above?”

小A Analysis in AiCoin will analyze aspects such as trend, key positions, and risks.

For beginners, this method is easier to grasp than diving into a heap of professional indicators right away.

You can even think of it as a “market analysis assistant”:

Ask questions → View analysis → Make your own judgments.

Rather than:

Listening to others call trades → Emotions run high → Then decide whether to buy.

The PRO version also offers extra 小A Analysis sessions, making it easier for everyday market reviews and simple analyses.

 

04｜Major Orders: Prices tell you “what happened,” capital data can help you further investigate “why”

Sometimes, a candlestick chart only tells you one thing:

The price has changed.

But what truly sparks curiosity is:

Why did it rise?

Who is buying?

Why do large orders keep appearing while prices don’t continue to rise?

Why are there many sell orders, yet prices can’t seem to drop?

At this point, you need to slightly shift your focus from the price itself and look at what is happening with the capital.

AiCoin's Major Orders Pro allows you to observe large transactions, capital flows, and large trader buying/selling behaviors.

For beginners, there’s no need to start by analyzing all indicators.

First, learn to observe a few simple relationships:

If large orders are continually buying but prices remain stagnant,
it might indicate significant selling pressure above.

If large orders are continually selling but prices can’t seem to drop,
it might indicate there is support below.

If there is a sudden and obvious capital move but the price does not change simultaneously,
it deserves further observation, rather than jumping in immediately.

The most important point here is:

Seeing large orders doesn’t mean you should follow them immediately.

The true value of capital data is that it gives you another perspective for observing the market.

Candlestick charts observe prices.

Large orders observe capital movements.

Only when both are considered together can you get closer to the true state of market dynamics.

 

05｜Multiple Windows on One Screen + Custom Groups: The more you see, doesn’t necessarily mean the more you know

Another issue that beginners often overlook is:

The watchlist is getting longer and longer.

Today I saw a hot coin, I’ll add it.

Tomorrow a friend recommends another one, I’ll add that too.

A few days later when I open my watchlist:

There are dozens of coins lying there.

When a real market movement occurs, I don’t know who to look at first.

So the first step in market observation isn’t always to “add information,” but rather to reduce information noise.

You can simply categorize your watchlist into two types:

Main Watchlist:
5–10 coins that you genuinely care about and may trade.

Observation Pool:
Hot coins, new coins, and those that you haven’t quite figured out yet.

For those who need to observe multiple coins or periods simultaneously, multiple windows on one screen will be more practical.

For example:

BTC Daily + 4H + 1H

Or:

BTC + ETH + SOL

Without constantly switching pages, you can monitor the changes between different periods and coins at the same time.

Which one breaks through first?

Who is following?

Which period starts to change?

You can accomplish preliminary observations on one screen.

This is also a very important step in the market observation process:

Place truly important information in front of you and set aside unrelated information.

 

What beginners should really practice is not “monitoring the market,” but this process

If you are just starting to trade cryptocurrencies, instead of refreshing candlestick charts for hours every day, it’s better to take 30 minutes on the weekend to prepare your observation process for the upcoming week.

① Clean up watchlist

Keep the main watchlist within 10 coins.

② Set Key Alerts

Set a few key prices for BTC, ETH, and the coins you pay the most attention to.

③ AI Quick Review

Look at the main trends and risks on the 4-hour and 1-day chart.

④ Review Capital Movements

Pay attention to whether there are any abnormal changes in major orders and capital flows.

⑤ Write down “If... then...”

For example:

       If BTC breaks through key resistance, then observe whether ETH follows.

       If it breaks below key support, don’t rush to bottom fish, first observe whether the market stabilizes.

       If capital is clearly flowing out, reduce chasing the rise.

This way, by Monday, when facing the market, you’re not asking:

“It’s up now, should I buy?”

But rather:

“Have my conditions been met?”

These two ways of observing the market seem to differ by just one step.

In reality, they represent completely different trading habits.

The market is always open, but you don’t need to be online all the time

One of the biggest characteristics of the cryptocurrency market is that it operates 24/7.

But that doesn’t mean you need to be online 24/7 as well.

Truly good market observation tools shouldn’t make you spend more time watching the market, but should allow you to see more valuable information in less time.

Alerts handle price monitoring.

AI helps you understand candlestick charts.

小A dissects questions.

Capital data observes market trends.

Watchlists and multiple windows organize information.

Finally, you decide yourself:

When to act, and when to continue waiting.

This might be the first step for beginners to move from “trading by feel” to “trading by process.”

The market will not disappear just because you’re not monitoring it.

So, for those just starting with cryptocurrencies, don’t rush into staying up late.

First, learn to:

Set conditions, wait for signals, and make judgments according to the process.

Compared to staring at candlestick charts for 24 hours, being able to avoid a few impulsive trades may be even more important.
