If you're serious about learning TA and building your own trading skillset, make it a habit to monitor the following charts — primarily on the 1W (weekly) and 1M (monthly) timeframes.
• Use 1M to confirm your overall bias.
• Use 1W to plan your entries and exits more precisely.
Here are the key charts you should focus on:
• $USDT.D – This chart gives you clarity on market sentiment and often indicates $BTC direction.
• #TOTAL – Represents the entire crypto market cap. Helps gauge broader market strength.
• #TOTAL2 – Excludes BTC. Focuses on $ETH and the general altcoin market.
• #TOTAL3 – Excludes BTC and ETH. Useful to analyze low-cap altcoin trends.
• #DeFi – Tracks the DeFi sector. Crucial for on-chain strength analysis.
• #OTHERS.D – Reflects dominance of non-top coins. Useful for altcoin cycles and rotation insight.
The most important charts are:
🔹 $USDT.D
🔹 #TOTAL
🔹 #TOTAL2
Once you have a strong read on TOTAL2, charts like TOTAL3, DeFi, and OTHERS.D become optional — mainly for extra confluence when building your trading plan.
