Overview

Back to portal

This category is dedicated to articles concerning the application of technical analysis within the context of cryptocurrency futures trading. Technical analysis involves evaluating investments and attempting to forecast future price movements by analyzing past market data, primarily price and volume.

Scope and Content Guidelines

Articles categorized here must adhere to the following guidelines:

Neutrality and Objectivity

All content must be presented factually and neutrally. Avoid language that suggests guaranteed outcomes, predictive certainty, or promotional endorsement of any specific trading strategy or indicator. Discussions of indicators should focus on their mathematical basis, historical use, and common interpretations, not on their efficacy as infallible predictors.

Focus on Methodology

The primary focus should be on the mechanics and theory behind technical analysis tools. This includes, but is not limited to:

Chart types (e.g., candlestick charts, Renko charts).

Indicators (e.g., Moving Averages, Relative Strength Index (RSI), MACD).

Chart patterns (e.g., head and shoulders, triangles, flags).

Concepts related to market structure and price action.

Relationship to Futures Trading

Articles should clearly explain how these technical analysis concepts are applied specifically within the context of leveraged and derivative markets, such as perpetual swaps or fixed-date futures contracts. Discussions should address concepts relevant to futures, such as open interest, funding rates, and liquidation risk, where applicable to technical interpretation.

Citations and Sourcing

Claims regarding the origin, development, or common interpretation of a technical analysis tool must be supported by reliable, verifiable external sources. Standard citation practices for this wiki must be followed.
