Many people invest and get used to watching candlestick charts, but rarely look up to see the world outside.

Actually, the starting point of decision-making is not the chart, but information. Policy trends, industry regulation, international situations, liquidity changes—all of these can alter the flow of funds. News is not gossip; it is the background noise of the market. Once the background changes, prices will eventually follow.
For example, an interest rate adjustment may seem like just a move by the central bank, but essentially it is a redistribution of risk and return. Another example is when a certain industry is targeted for regulation; sentiment will move first, and funds will follow. Many so-called “sudden” market moves actually have foreshadowing in the news.
Of course, the premise is not blind scrolling, but viewing with questions in mind. Focus on the assets you care about, and track relevant policies and macro variables. Over time, you will naturally develop your own judgment framework instead of being led by market sentiment.
Investing is not about speed; it’s about understanding. The more solid the information, the more stable the decision.
