When you treat a signal as a definitive basis for buying or selling, it ceases to be a signal and becomes a targeted entry point prepared specifically for you. Once technical indicators are worshipped, they are inevitably targeted. MA, RSI, MACD are originally just references, but after retail traders treat them as answers for entry and exit, quant traders, market makers, and big players start to manipulate your indicators and feed you false signals. The final result is always the same: indicators are all correct, but accounts go to zero. When emotional indicators go mainstream, a reverse trend begins to brew. The fear index and KOL bullishness ratio are hyped as ultimate tools for bottom fishing and top selling, causing the market to slow down, become dull, and fake. Once you believe it, what you catch is never the bottom, but the first cut. Anything that is targeted for optimization will ultimately be used by the market to kill you. This is the Goodhart's Law in crypto trading.
