A plain-language guide to the Bitcoin 200-week moving average: how it is calculated, what it describes, and why it should not be treated as automatic support or a trading signal.

Learn how to document a volume-by-price display, its data limits, and the tests needed before treating a profile level as relevant.

Learn what a bid/ask book can show, what it omits, and how to document order-book data without treating walls as trade signals.

Learn how order-flow metrics depend on venue data and classification rules, and how to test them without turning prints into whale or reversal claims.

Break of structure and change of character are useful annotation conventions only when pivot, break, timeframe, and outcome rules are defined before reviewing a chart.

An FVG is a user-defined three-candle price relationship. It is not proof of inefficient pricing, hidden orders, or a future fill.

An order block is a chart-annotation convention for a prior candle or range. It cannot prove an institution placed, retained, or will defend orders there.

A gap depends on a contract, feed, candle boundary, and session definition. It is not a universal promise that price must return.

SMA and EMA are deterministic transformations of past prices. They can summarize a selected series, not reveal a trend or guarantee a crossover outcome.

A trend is a rule over a selected price series and horizon. Define its inputs, threshold, and invalidation before testing rather than treating it as a directional signal.

Volume is a scoped record of reported activity, not a truth detector. Define venue, aggregation, units, and missing data before drawing conclusions.

A breakout is a defined cross of a defined level in a defined feed. It can be measured, but it does not forecast an explosive move.

Fibonacci ratios are arithmetic levels between selected anchors. They can organize a chart, not prove support, reversal, or an optimal entry.

Candles summarize a selected feed and interval. They can support reproducible observation, but they do not reveal intent or predict the next move.

Pattern names summarize selected geometry. Define pivots, tolerances, break conditions, and failure rules before testing rather than treating a pattern as a forecast.

Support and resistance are selected price ranges under a stated rule. They can organize observations, not guarantee a bounce, rejection, or defended order flow.

Use indicators as a repeatable observation system, not prediction machines: what each measures, why signals fail, and how to test a rule before risking capital.
