After trading in the crypto space for so long, I gradually discovered a pattern — the market quality during the day and at night is completely different.

During the day, I’m basically losing money, which makes sense upon reflection. During this time, major exchanges see low participation from big players; the market is mainly retail traders competing with each other, lacking clear direction, and prone to repeated shakeouts. It’s like the big fish aren’t out hunting, and the small fish are just floundering in the shallows.

But starting from 7 PM in the evening, things change. Institutions and big traders in different time zones around the world gradually become active, liquidity clearly increases, and the market trends become more predictable. At this time, following the main players’ strategies allows you to capture some of the market’s residual gains, significantly increasing your win rate.

My own win rate statistics also confirm this — consistently profitable trades are mostly made at night. During the day, as soon as I make a move, I’m basically giving money to the market. So my current strategy is simple: rest or just watch the market during the day, and participate in the evening.
