That day, my account suddenly had over two hundred thousand U, I stared at the screen in a daze for half a day, not excited, but more like my soul was being pulled out.
In these years, I’ve lost a lot of hair, my eye bags are thick enough to trap flies, I’ve made money, but my heart feels empty.
Thinking back to when I entered with small funds, no insider info, no pump-and-dump news, relying solely on a set of “clumsy methods” to survive.
Every day, I do one thing: take notes, review, control my hands.
Getting liquidated is paying tuition, lessons carved into my lungs with cigarette smoke #加密市场延续反弹
Today, I spread out these notes earned with blood, and understanding one can save a few thousand dollars in losses:
1. Volume is like a heartbeat
Rising prices are like climbing stairs, falling prices are like sliding down a slide.
Don’t rush to run, the big players are secretly eating up the market.
Quickly pushing up and slowly dropping isn’t the real move; the true top will definitely be a volume waterfall crashing down—that’s the sound of a sickle hitting the ground.

2. Flash crashes are stabbing, not red envelopes
Falling sharply and bouncing slowly—that’s the big players hitting and retreating at the same time.
Don’t comfort yourself with “it won’t fall further after dropping so deep,” it can, and often there are deeper pits waiting for you.
3. The quietest at high levels
Volume doesn’t necessarily mean a top; low volume at high levels is more frightening, like sudden silence in the dead of night—something big is about to happen.
Bottoms require persistence; a single surge in volume might be a trap, but consecutive shrinking volumes followed by another surge are the big players’ real gold and silver, showing their positions.
4. Candlesticks are corpses, volume is body temperature
Candlesticks are just the result; trading volume is the thermometer of the scene.
Volume shrinking to suffocation leaves only ghosts in the market; a sudden spike in volume means funds smell blood and are coming.

Last point: none
No obsession, dare to turn off the screen and go to sleep; no greed, keep your hands in your pockets when chasing highs; no fear, dare to press the buy button during a sharp drop.
This isn’t Zen, it’s instinct born from crawling out of a pile of dead bodies.
The crypto world never lacks opportunities; what’s lacking are people who wait for opportunities.
