While charts can be helpful, much stronger headwinds often override them. This is especially true when it comes to the present geopolitical situation. Of all the lessons learned in 2022 the most valuable one is that although there are several risk factors inherent to the crypto market itself, it’s also vulnerable to more widespread market moves.
