Don't remind me again today

#Strategy加仓比特币 Eight years ago, in the winter, in a 6-square-meter basement in Beijing, my bank card balance was in double digits. During the day, I worked part-time; late at night, I watched the markets.



Now, the account balance has grown to four digits in ten-thousands.

The pitfalls I’ve encountered along this path can be summarized in four points.

**About Sharp Rises and Falls**

During the 2017 market cycle, a small coin tripled in ten days. I bet all my savings on it. Three days later, it fell nearly 20%, and most of my principal was gone within a week.

Later, I understood: if a short-term increase exceeds 30%, and after a few days of sideways movement, it drops more than 15% on high volume, someone is probably selling off. I avoid such patterns now.

**About High-Level Consolidation**

In 2019, holding several mainstream coins, I saw two months of sideways trading. I added leverage to buy more, then got cut in half.

If consolidation lasts over twenty days, with a turnover rate below 2%, and the price deviates from the moving average by more than 20%, it’s a warning. Now, when the system alerts me to such conditions, I immediately reduce my holdings.

**About Bottom-Fishing Timing**

During the big dip in March 2020, I bottom-fished $LINK and got caught.

The true bottom looks like this: low volume sideways trading, followed by three consecutive days of gentle volume increase with small bullish candles. Last year, $BTC showed this pattern near 25,000; I went all in, sold at 42,000, and made over five million in a single trade.

**About Position Management**

Living is more important than anything.

I only use half my position and never leverage. Last year, I waited until $PEPE surged five times on volume before entering; once the trend broke, I took profits immediately. In the end, I earned twelve times my investment, avoiding the subsequent crash.

This market isn’t about who is smarter; it’s about who can hold on until the end.

Rules will change, but human nature remains the same. Stick to principles, and you can walk a long way.
BTC-1.48%
PEPE-2.91%

Too many people have become inflated after making profits.
