Reading predictions or analysis about the market from credible media is good but don't depend too much on their analysis, it should only be an additional reference for our trading decisions. Reading analysis from other people can increase our trading knowledge but all decisions must be based on own analysis.
IMO crypto market is volatile and based on speculations, its yet not established like stock or forex that one can analyse it through tools like fundamental or technical aanalysis. You are right that such news can only be part of your research but final decision must come from your own mind after doing a complete 360 degree research.
Since its your own hard earned money n no one can take much better decision about it except you.
