Signals Need Allies
Relying on a single signal invites misreads because the market rarely moves for just one reason; combining the order book with delta and momentum gives you a fuller picture. A bid wall that does not align with rising delta is suspect, so seek agreement before committing.
Avoiding Confirmation Bias
Treat the book like a conversation: listen to both sides and update your view as new information arrives, instead of locking into the first interpretation. The safest trades come when multiple signals confirm the same narrative.
Relying on one indicator invites mistakes because the market never moves for just a single reason, so pairing the order book with volume and momentum gives you a fuller picture. When one signal fires while the others stay calm, pause and wait for confirmation.
A bid wall is not a guarantee of an upward breakout if a heavier ask wall sits just above it; the market might simply bounce between those two levels instead of breaking free. Look for the wall thinning before celebrating a rally.
Data shifts fast, so what seemed like a support line a moment ago can evaporate by the time you react; keep refreshing the view instead of stamping your confidence on a single snapshot.
Treat the book as a conversation between buyers and sellers, and keep asking whether the narrative is changing rather than clinging to a static belief.
Whalytics combines these perspectives so you can see how walls, volume, and delta evolve together and avoid falling for a single flashy headline.
This is not investment advice; it is only a reminder to stay curious and balanced.
