Many traders believe in the myth of an all-powerful algorithm secretly controlling price. They imagine a hidden hand orchestrating every movement. But that belief is a distraction. Markets, like nature, are self-governing triadic systems. No single entity controls them; price is the visible byproduct of living forces cycling between imbalance and balance.
In the wild, the herd runs toward hope—and into the trap. Markets are no different. Gamblers chase the dream. Algos lay the bait. Strategy traders? They eat.
Price doesn’t move in a line; it swings in emotional arcs. RSI over 70 = heat, under 30 = cold. The mean—RSI 50—is the battlefield where money flows and the strategy trader thrives.
Gamblers buy the highs and panic-sell the lows. They trade on emotion and headlines. When RSI spikes above 70 they think “to the moon”; under 30 they think “it’s over.”
This frenzy powers the move. They see price pushing outside the Bollinger Bands and assume “breakout,” when it’s often bait. Volume spikes, emotions ignite—algos are already one step ahead.
Trading isn't random. Every candle is part of a larger psychological feedback loop. Every imbalance reveals who’s in control—and who’s about to lose it.
