Market Uptrend vs Market Downtrend

[Gposas]

The crypto market only expresses two lines of movement/trend; The Uptrend (Green Candles) and The Downtrend (Red candles).
The Basic knowledge in trading states that the uptrend (Green Candles) express the purchasing power of buyers motivating the upward movement of the market and on the other hand, the downtrend (Red candles) express the power of the sellers resulting to the downward movement of the market.

From my point of view of the Crypto market (though not professional yet, just an observation) the trend/movement of different assets based on a low time frame (15mins), I observe that the market exhibits more of downtrend (Red candles) compared to an uptrend (Green candles).

Do you think the market trends more downwards than upwards??

Look at the bigger picture.
I do think we are in the uptrend overall, and we just experience dips along the way.

The market direction is determined by these two trends, yet the consolidation period is also part of the market. It is said that whatsoever that goes up must surely come down, and same here in the crypto market. Based all the entire data, Bitcoin was one's below $100, and when above it, it has been below $100k over the years, which was a mark that everyone has been expecting. Now we have broken that mark.

By your question, I will say that the market goes up, and then comes down to make room for new entries.

       -      It's simple, op, trading can't be just one trend, there can only be two and that's what you mentioned, it can't be purely or always uptrend and vice versa. That means, in trading any trend, we can get profit.

Now to your question, there's no answer there, just my opinion, because that's why there's a so-called every 4 years cycle called bitcoin halving or bull run, after this bear market, right? and this has been happening for 15 years now op.

I see the market spends most of its time in a sideways, trendless state rather than trending up or down. One green candle doesn't signify an uptrend, and one red candle doesn't mean the market is in a downtrend, since you're talking about the market trend within that candle, for example, within a week or within a day.

I haven't tried counting the number of each type of candle on the price chart, as it's not really important. The market can grow or decline regardless of the number of red and green candles. If you're really interested in Japanese candlestick analysis, you should pay attention to candlestick patterns rather than their quantity ^^

Sideways (consolidation) is also a movement we see in the market sometimes as alreayd mentioned. It should not be ignored.

The market trends in both directions to fill out and cancel any inbalance or inefficiency that is created. I don't think the market trends more in one direction.

[yhiaali3]

Do you mean currently or permanently?
Currently, on the contrary, I see that the rise in most coins is an upward trend, not a downward trend. You do not have to look at the narrow time frame, but you have to look at the chart as a whole, or over a certain period of time, for example, a month. Then you will see that most coins had an upward trend.

We are now in a bullish season, so I think that most of the charts are more bullish than bearish, but perhaps what you say is correct regarding the short time frame of 15 minutes.

Crypto market has the volatility and that make it very difficult. Some times it goes on up Trend and sometimes it goes on downtrend. Now it's your point of view how you just saw the market like you took only 15mins low time frame and here may be you can thinking about that the market trends more downwards than upwards but if you just view it on the bigger time frame like the year or the month you will saw just we were in upward market. Because Bitcoin is limited it has only 21 million maximum supply, day by day the price of it will increase it is also the reality. So in my opinion we were in upward market all the time in case of bitcoin.

It depends on the pair you have selected if the pair is contrinuously losing its value over time then we will certainly see more red candles than green in any timeframe chart. But if we take BTC then I think we will find more green candles than red candles in 15 minutes charts too because it always pumped over the long period.

You can be right too because market stays most of the time in bear and stays red therefore it is possible that number of red candles are more than green but why it matters, the long term targets matters most.

Sideways (consolidation) is also a movement we see in the market sometimes as already mentioned. It should not be ignored.

I am not good actually at looking at and analyzing candles and sometimes it drives me crazy how come others can easily explain those figures clearly and I could not make something out of them. Just crazy or maybe I am just lazy to educate myself on matters of trading which I know can be a good area to explore most especially cryptocurrency trading. Now, aside from the up and down - green and the red - I also encountered that term sideways movement and can be the time when consolidation can happen.

Do you think the market trends more downwards than upwards??

No.
We're in a bull run and the market is on the bullish trend so it means that we're upwards. While some people might disagree about it to me but look at the longer effect of what the market shows. It's been uptrend since last year. And if someone is desiring to see the downwards, we're going to see it soon, maybe at the end of this year or maybe by 2026.

To read every red and green candle, there must be a knowledge, unfortunately I don't understand and do not want to learn about reading candles, I only based on the price of Bitcoin for Altcoins because from the first time I knew Cryptocurrency Bitcoin red then the red and bitcoin green and bitcoin green then Altcoins are also green.
For now, as you say that this Altcoins tend to be green and cannot be conditioned for us to be a long hodl because I pay attention to down and red. I was actually doubtful with them saying that Bullrun in 2025 will happen.

A lot of knowledge require to be able to study candles stick, when you have a lot of knowledge about candles sticks you have the probability of being able to predict the trend either  bull run or bearish.
But seems you don’t need any knowledge about candle sticks that because you are an investor not a day to day trader. But traders study candle pattern a lot to make a better decision and trade with risk management. As an investor you don’t really need to study candle patterns though it optional so you have the right to choose which you want. But when you are a trader studying candles will help you to analyze the market and understand the market.

15 minutes is a very narrow time frame, it is even very difficult to predict or determine what momentum is happening in this time frame... even though you see more price drops than increases, actually for the short term it is reasonable, considering that after reaching the peak of cryptocurrency prices, it is the right time to welcome the bearish moment.... it could be that the bullish period has ended this month, and we will see the graph continue to decline for the next two years...

-Investor = no need for candlestick
-Trader = need for candlestick

The conclusion of your reply post is very useful for me, I also think I understand why long-term investors are relaxed because they don't need profit every day but the profit is for the long term.
Unfortunately, I am not an investor because sometimes when I try to trade with altcoins like BNB, when there is a profit of 10 dollars I immediately withdraw it to my local bank. I also think that if the investor has a large capital and maybe the initial capital is at least 10,000 dollars.
