If the market is rigged TA is useless, except perhaps for the market riggers, who can paint whatever pretty picture they want with the price moves, including dragging TA-'sensitive' bots up, down and sideways, like bulls being led by a nose-ring ... in which case it is more rigged than you imagine.
That's exactly as rigged as I imagine.
ITS NOT RIGGED!
bitcoin is meant to have manipulators sometimes there are more active manipulators then there are fish, who cares. bitcoin has value because its fun to hit buy/sell with a small 50K, program bots to keep the candle up or down for you.. anything goes, it doesn't make sense to regulate market trader activity; is it illegal to wast 1million dollars to trigger stop loses and sell into them?
My point was that the manipulators are definitely aware of TA.
