The Vibe: The peak tops (highs) and bottom dips (lows) on a crypto price chart that show the battle between buyers and sellers.
The Details: Highs are the highest prices a coin reaches during an up move; lows are the lowest points in a down move. Traders watch patterns like “higher highs and higher lows” (bullish trend—price making new peaks and not dipping as deep) or “lower highs and lower lows” (bearish—failing to reach old peaks and dropping further). Breaking a previous high signals strength (like new ATH); failing at a high shows resistance. These spots often become future support/resistance levels.
Pro Tip: Zoom out on charts (TradingView, CoinGecko) to spot real highs/lows—ignore tiny wiggles, focus on major swings. In bull markets, ride higher highs; in bears, buy near strong lows with DCA. Combine with volume for confirmation.
