$ETH Three years, turning 10k USD into 670k USD. No insider info, no crazy bulls, just a set of simple methods 🧠💰
1095 days, I’ve realized 6 lessons. Understanding one can save you tens of thousands, mastering three can help you survive in the crypto world.
1. Rapid rise and slow fall = the market maker is accumulating, don’t be timid
Suddenly surging, then gradually falling back day by day, many people lose their patience and sell.
Don’t rush, this isn’t a crash, it’s a washout.
The true top is when they suddenly surge with high volume, then “bang” a big bearish candle breaks through, and everyone rushes in to buy the dip.
2. Rapid fall and slow rise = the market maker is distributing, don’t take the bait
After a flash crash, it slowly recovers, seeming like a “bargain,” but it’s actually a gentle hit.
Don’t think “it’s already fallen so much, where else can it go?” — that’s the fastest way to lose money.
3. High volume at the top can still be played, but if volume shrinks and it’s sideways, run
High volume at the top indicates some still dare to buy, maybe another wave is coming.
The most dangerous is when volume suddenly drops and there’s no more talk at the top, trading volume cools off, and it just stalls.
That’s not stability, that’s no buyers left, and a waterfall follows.
4. Volume at the bottom isn’t a sign of excitement, only continuous volume is real
A single volume spike on a candle might be staged for you.
First shake out the last batch of people, then gradually increase volume over several days.
That’s when real money starts flowing in.
5. Candlestick charts can deceive, but volume won’t
Price movements are just entertainment; volume reflects true sentiment.
Volume dropping to zero = no one’s playing anymore ≈ nearing the bottom.
Volume suddenly surging = real funds are moving.
6. The most awesome skill is called “shorting”
Don’t be eager to hold cash, enter the market without hesitation.
If it’s time to leave, leave; if it’s time to act, act; don’t fall in love with the trend.
There will never be a shortage of opportunities in crypto, what’s lacking is people who can control their hands and understand the situation.
Any one of these 6 lessons can help you review your losing trades.
