Learn how to flip the charts of your favorite assets to get a new perspective for your analyses!

TradingView offers a very interesting option: that of flipping charts by adding the code "0-" in front of the ticker of the curve you want to flip. If you'd like to obtain the inverted Bitcoin curve, simply open TradingView's search bar, type in the code "0-", then "BTC", and click on the BTC chart on the exchange you'd like, and hit "Enter" on your keyboard.

This option allows you to view your assets from another point of view. When inverting the chart, any signs of the end of an uptrend that you find will be encouraging if you're betting upwards on that asset; conversely, a sign of Bottom will not be appreciable, unless you're going short on the asset.

These reversed charts help to erase certain bullish biases that you may be developing without realizing it, such as always seeing and looking for bullish signals because you have feelings about the market and want to see your asset rise. You absolutely have to be neutral towards the market, and if you only see bullish signals on the reversed chart and on the original one, you're contradicting yourself. You're going to have to erase your biases to make consistent analyses between the 2 charts!

This option works on all the charts available on TradingView, so don't miss out!

Here is an example with Bitcoin's Chart:

Bitcoin's Chart on 07/18/23

As you can see, the principle is very simple: the graphs returned are represented with a negative value, but they must not approach 0, otherwise the asset is actually losing value. These charts can of course be exploited through technical analysis by coupling chartism and indicators, and represent a way of confirming your analyses made on the original curve in one direction or the other, as long as the two analyses are consistent with each other by opposing.
