Which charts do traders actually rely on?

There's always this question floating around – what's worth watching on your screen right now?

Some folks stick with the basics: candlestick charts, moving averages, RSI. Classic stuff. Others dig into volume profiles or order flow data. The 4-hour and daily timeframes seem to pull the most attention these days, especially when you're not trying to get caught up in noise.

Then you've got the ones obsessing over on-chain metrics – whale movements, exchange flows, that kind of thing. Good for spotting macro shifts. But honestly? Most traders toggle between their main chart and a few technical indicators, maybe glance at Bitcoin's dominance chart to get a sense of the broader market mood.

The real question isn't which chart is best – it's which one actually helps you make decisions without second-guessing every move. That part usually takes time to figure out.
