Everything you need to study crypto charts clearly, in the right order, without treating TA as certainty. **50** lessons **4** modules **4** checkpoints **Free** forever Key points Crypto TA for beginners means learning to read candles, trend, support and resistance, and volume so chart decisions are evidence-based. The cleanest path is following the lesson order, then using each checkpoint to test understanding before moving on. Indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci work best as context tools, not standalone answers. Most beginner mistakes come from ignoring timeframes, chasing breakouts, and not understanding volatility and risk basics.
