This question seems so simple, yet the answer seems to escape me. Both involve technical and fundamental analysis, which includes indicators, charts, and candlesticks. They make use of the same trading principles, ideologies, and strategies.
The forex and crypto market works in different ways due to volatility and some other factors. The crypto market is highly volatile and it can go from 10%-30% or even higher within a single day sometimes. The forex market on the other hand is not that much volatile, the movements in that market was pretty low as compare to crypto market. The main cause of volatility of crypto market is the volume and decentralization. There isn't a single entity who can control the market while the forex market is control by centralized authorities.
Although, the trading principles are basically same for both of the markets and the indicators, charts, and other factors are also same for both markets but the volatility has the difference and that's the main cause of concern. Other than volatility the crypto market is highly affected by news media and influencers while that doesn't happen in forex market.
I have yet to see a forex trader who doesn't claim that they make more money than crypto traders. I have also yet to see a crypto trader who has dumped it for forex trading. Have you made a move from Forex trading to crypto trading or crypto to Forex? What happened? Can one do both at the same time?
I have traded in both markets in forex as well as in crypto, but I must say that forex market is not that difficult to master, the crypto market is very difficult. There have been cases where newbies earned 1000's of dollars in crypto over night, but they have lost even more after that. I used to be a forex trader back in 2016's but I transition to crypto-currencies in late 2016 and since then I have never done forex trading. I'm considering forex trading now, but still not doing it yet because they crypto is far more easier and is more lucrative for someone like me.
