Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading is quite popular these days. With the price upswings and volatility in 2020, crypto traders have made and lost a lot of money. In the last few years, a number of digital currency enthusiasts have been attracted to professional traders and analysts routinely publishing technical analysis (TA) online. Crypto asset trading has exploded this year and there’s a great number of sophisticated traders sharing secrets, alongside short and long-term market outlooks.
Digital currency traders can make a lot of money by calling the tops and bottoms by leveraging insight and technical analysis (TA). For instance, if a trader played their positions correctly they could have gained big time (358%) from the dip in mid-March (Black Thursday) up until this week’s 2020 high at $16,495. This weekend the price of BTC has slid some, and the crypto asset is currently trading at prices between $15,850 to $15,950 per unit.

Technical Analysis or Pulling Numbers from Thin Air
There are many other traders and analysts who discuss bitcoin regularly and have shared their cryptocurrency market prognosis to tens and hundreds of thousands of followers. A few of the aforementioned bitcoin traders speak about the long term game, but most of them speak about the short term cycles and swings more regularly.
The projections many of these traders throw out are based on sophisticated technical analysis, charts, signals, indicators, and theories as well. Lots of times people take seasoned crypto traders, researchers, and analysts more seriously than Wall Street executives, venture capitalists, and traditional financiers pulling numbers out of thin air. Although, there are plenty of skeptics who believe technical analysis (TA) is no different than pulling numbers from thin air or leveraging tarot cards.
