For those who want to buy BTC, the real struggle often isn't "how to buy," but rather two questions that repeatedly torment them:

- If I buy now, will I just happen to buy at a temporary high point?

Watching the price rise from a lower position, there is always the concern of being the last one in. Especially when seeing others flaunt "how much they bought early," it's even easier to feel like you've missed the best opportunity.

- If the price goes up today, I'm afraid of missing out if I don't buy, and if it goes down today, I’m afraid of buying just before it falls further.

When the price rises, FOMO kicks in, making you feel like if you don't jump in now, you'll miss out; when it drops, you immediately regret it, fearing you've bought halfway up a slope. The result is a cycle of indecision, either being anxious about staying in cash or becoming impulsive and then falling apart emotionally after entering the market.

What’s more frustrating is that in groups, on Twitter, and from various "analysts," there are daily calls for bulls and bears. Some say "now is still very cheap, you must hold on," while others say "this wave has already risen too much, it could correct at any time." The longer you watch, the less you know whom to trust, making you more anxious.

Many people actually lack a simple, executable judgment framework—not relying on guessing price movements or listening to news, but first understanding key information such as the current price level, market sentiment, and funds before deciding whether to act.

Rather than being swayed daily by emotions and noise, it's better to learn how to use AiCoin to clearly understand the market. The following five steps can help new users encountering BTC for the first time establish their own judgment standards rather than being led by others.

Step 1: Find the Real Market of BTC

Action:

① Open the AiCoin official website or app.

② Enter BTC in the search bar to find the corresponding market for Bitcoin.

③ Select the BTC trading pair you want to observe, such as BTC/USDT.

④ Confirm the chosen trading pair and data source to avoid mixing prices from different exchanges for comparison.

What to look for in this step?

First, clarify the current price of BTC, the 24-hour price change, and which market you are observing.

Note: AiCoin is a market analysis tool, not an exchange for buying and selling BTC.

Step 2: Switch to Daily Candles, Don't Just Focus on 15-Minute Changes

Action:

① Go to the BTC candlestick chart page.

② Switch the time frame to "1D (daily)."

③ Observe the price trend over the last 30 days.

④ Then switch to "4H (4-hour chart)" to review recent volatility details.

Why look at it this way?

A 15-minute rise does not mean the entire market trend has reversed.

The daily chart is better for observing longer-term price structures, while the 4-hour chart can help you see recent fluctuations clearly.

First look at the big trend, then at short-term changes, and don't rush to make decisions based on a suddenly large candlestick.

Step 3: Identify the Highs and Lows of the Last 30 Days

Action:

① In the daily chart, find the price range for the last 30 days.

② Identify the highest price during this period.

③ Identify the lowest price during this period.

④ Use the line tool in the AiCoin chart to mark these two positions.

⑤ Observe where the current price is located within this range.

What problem is this step solving?

It's not about accurately predicting the top and bottom, but rather to let you know: how much BTC has recently risen or fallen, and where it currently stands within the recent price range.

If the price is near the recent high, pay special attention to the chasing risk; if the price is near the recent low, it doesn’t necessarily mean it won't continue to drop.

The price position can only provide context and cannot solely decide buying and selling.

Step 4: Check Volume to See if the Rise Has Supporting Volume

Action:

① In the candlestick chart, find the "Indicators" entry.

② Add the volume (VOL) indicator.

③ Compare the volume changes during recent rises and falls.

④ Observe whether the volume expands when the price breaks above the recent high.

⑤ Observe whether the price can maintain above the breakout area after the breakout.

Why should you pay more attention to this step?

Simply looking at price increases can easily lead to the misconception that the market is continuously strengthening.

If the price quickly falls back after breaking a prior high, further observation of volume, subsequent price performance, and market conditions is needed rather than jumping in immediately upon seeing a breakout.

But remember: increased volume does not necessarily mean a rise, and low volume does not inherently indicate that the trend is about to reverse.

Step 5: Set Price Alerts and Prepare for Different Scenarios

Action:

① Based on the recent highs and lows you found earlier, determine the price levels you want to continue observing.

② Open the price alert function in AiCoin.

③ Set the price conditions you wish to monitor.

④ Save the alerts and confirm that notification permissions are enabled.

⑤ Write down three scenarios in advance:

- If the price continues to rise, am I willing to wait for new confirmations?

- If the price falls, do I need to reassess?

- If the price breaks below the recent low, does my previous judgment still hold?

Why set alerts?

Because you don’t need to stare at BTC every few minutes.

Price alerts are merely notifications that the market has reached a certain position, and do not indicate that the system is advising you to buy or sell.

What truly matters is: After the alert is triggered, you know what to check rather than making impulsive decisions based on price fluctuations.

Finally, after completing these 5 steps, what should you achieve?

You do not need to immediately conclude that "I must buy BTC now."

You just need to clarify first:

✅ Where BTC currently stands within the recent price range.

✅ Whether recent rises or falls are accompanied by volume changes.

✅ Whether there is further confirmation after price breakouts.

✅ Which price levels you are prepared to monitor.

✅ If the market behaves differently than expected, what you should check next.

For beginners entering the crypto market, the first step is not to learn to predict rises and falls but to learn to check risks before buying.
