Crypto technical analysis is often very similar to stock market analysis, but there are a few differences: Unlike stocks, cryptocurrencies do not pay dividends, so technical analysis can’t take that into account. Conversely, crypto can generate yields from DeFi protocols, which stocks (in their natural form) cannot. Crypto markets are also open 24/7 and trade on different trading venues to stocks, which trade on highly regulated exchanges and only during strict trading hours. Crypto is, generally, less regulated, which means that markets could be easier to manipulate than stock markets, where large shareholders have to disclose their investments.
