People staring at the 30-second chart see everything as a crash. The reason many think the market is 'suddenly pumping or dumping' isn’t because the volatility is actually huge, but because they’re looking at the wrong time frame. What looks like a crash on the 30-second chart might not even count as a dip on the 1-hour chart; what looks like a takeoff on the 1-hour chart might just be a bounce on the weekly chart. The price is the same, but the meaning of the movement is completely different. The smaller the time frame, the more noise there is, and the easier it is for emotions to be swayed by momentary fluctuations. The larger the time frame, the clearer the structure and direction become. If your stop-losses, rhythm, and emotions are all jumping around with the smaller time frames, all you’ll ever see is 'pumps and dumps.'
