Having played with coins for so many years, I've seen too many people cram their indicator interfaces full, only to end up losing money while ruining their eyes first.

There's no need for all that flashy stuff when picking coins. Many people lose money not because they can't pick them, but because they're misled by all sorts of "exclusive strategies" online. After six years of trial and error, going through two full bull-bear cycles, and stepping into countless pitfalls, I've distilled it down to three moves that work for both spot and futures, and in both bull and bear markets.$ETH #0成本拿2股SK海力士

First move: Focus on volume, not price. Price can be pumped up instantly with capital, and candlesticks can be faked through wash trading, but trading volume is built with real money—it can't be faked. When a coin suddenly shoots up with a big green candle but the volume is lower than the average of the previous three days, it's most likely a bull trap. Jump in and you'll probably end up bag-holding. Conversely, if the price grinds low for a long time while volume quietly increases, and it can't be pushed down no matter how hard it's sold—that's real money quietly accumulating. Remember: A rally without volume is fake. Don't rush to buy the dip on a high-volume sell-off.$LAB #美国5月PCE通胀升至4.1%创三年新高

Second move: Only play coins that "people are playing." Don't keep chasing obscure coins hoping for a 100x, only to end up being the harvested retail. Take a daily scan of the top gainers and add coins with consistently high volume and active trading to your watchlist—that's enough. Coins with a daily volume of only a few hundred thousand U are illiquid; the market maker pumps and dumps, and when you want to sell, there's no one to take the other side. Liquidity always matters more than flashy technical indicators.$BTC

Third move: Use the higher timeframe for direction, the lower timeframe for entry. Start with the weekly chart to gauge the big trend. Coins whose weekly is flat at a low level and slowly turning up are worth getting into. Coins whose weekly is trending downward, no matter how cheap they are, are traps waiting to be stepped in. Once the big direction is set, switch to the 4-hour chart to see if the structure has held a key level and if the moving averages are well-aligned. Then find your entry. This way, you basically won't make a major directional mistake.

Master these three moves, and they'll directly filter out 80% of the junk coins. Don't overcomplicate coin selection. The worst thing is to lose your rhythm and get carried away by the market's emotions. Follow the hype in a bull market, hold tight to liquidity in a bear market. In short: Volume before coin selection, trend before price.
