Having been in this market for eight years, the number of coffee cans on my workbench far exceeds my trading statements. Watching candlestick charts until dawn, I've endured many hardware failures and lost a few colleagues along the way. People around me say I turned things around by trading cryptocurrencies, but honestly, it's the experience I gained through perseverance.

The most painful part? Being led by the price day after day. Beginners love to watch price movements—it's like chasing a bus—if you can't catch it, it feels bad; if you do, you might miss your stop. You'll notice the price suddenly surges, then slowly slides down again, looking like a pullback gathering strength, but in reality, the market is just baiting.

What is the real danger signal? A sudden spike in trading volume combined with a sharp drop—at that moment, you need to withdraw quickly—the sickle is already raised. I've seen too many people become puppets of the price. In 2019, I also fell into the trap, entering at a high and getting caught. I held on for three months before breaking free—those days really made me want to smash the screen.

Later, I realized that smart traders don't just look at the price itself but focus on changes in trading volume—that's the market's ECG, truly reflecting capital flow. A rebound with shrinking volume? Don't touch it. An upward move with no volume? That's abnormal. Downtrends with volume are worth defending.

Regarding bottom-fishing, my advice is to stop first. People who want to buy the dip when prices plummet often buy halfway up the mountain. Because the most terrifying thing isn't a single drop, but when the decline continues and you've already used all your ammunition. The market punishes those who seek quick gains—this isn't a motivational speech, but a bloody lesson.
