Once you’ve “cracked the code” in crypto trading, life feels like you’ve found the Dao!

8 years ago, when I first stepped into the crypto market, like most retail traders, losses and profits seemed to depend purely on luck—I couldn’t see any pattern. But after staying in the crypto space for a few years, through constant learning and absorbing, and by following some big names who kept sharing and giving guidance, I finally slowly got it and formed my own investment system!

1. Make clever use of the morning chart: In the early morning, the crypto market sentiment is at its purest. If the price suddenly dumps hard, don’t panic—this might be a good time to “pick up bargains” at a low price. If it then clears and rallies all the way, surging upward, don’t get greedy—take profit and sell when the chance is there, locking in gains is the smart move.

2. Nail the afternoon strategy: If there’s a sudden blow-off rally in the afternoon, don’t let it daze you into chasing FOMO. Most of the time it’s just “hot air,” and taking buys at the high is how you end up holding the bag. On the other hand, if the afternoon turns down, you can steady yourself, observe for a while, and then enter again the next day at a properly identified low point—often you’ll end up with cheaper chips.

3. Stabilize your mindset during downside: If you wake up in the morning and see the price falling, don’t rush to cut your losses. The market changes in an instant; early-session fluctuations are often a “trick to distract your eyes.” If the price action is like dead water with no movement at all, don’t get impatient either—take a break, conserve energy, and wait for opportunities.

4. Rigorously stick to buy/sell rules: If your coin hasn’t reached the expected high yet, don’t sell too easily—making a little less is still losing. If it hasn’t dropped to your psychological price level, hold your hands—don’t buy impulsively to “catch the bottom,” or you may end up buying halfway down the mountain. As for the sideways consolidation phase, with chaotic price action and unclear direction, trading then is like a blindfolded person feeling for an elephant—you’re better off standing by and watching.

5. Trade according to yin-yang candles: Buy on the bearish (yin) candles and sell on the bullish (yang) candles—this is the classic strategy. When a yin candle appears, it usually means a pullback and that the chips get cheaper, which is a good time to enter. When a yang candle appears and signals a short-term uptrend, sell into strength to capture profit safely.

6. Break the deadlock with inverse thinking: If you want to stand out in this market, sometimes you have to do the opposite. When everyone is wildly enthusiastic and chasing, stay a bit more calm. When everyone is panicking and selling, be more decisive—dare to trade counter to the crowd, and you can find opportunities for outsized wealth outside the mainstream wave.

7. Endure the agony of consolidation: When price stays consolidating for a long time at high or low levels, it’s the most tormenting. At that time, don’t let anxiety control you. Be patient, stay calm, and wait until the direction becomes clear—whether it’s moving up or probing down, only when it’s obvious should you go all in.

8. Grab the tail of the spike: After prolonged sideways trading at the high, once it makes another push upward, don’t hesitate—this is likely the final burst of madness. Sell in time; turn your paper profits into real money in your hand, otherwise it’s gone in the blink of an eye. The cooked duck can fly away.

The crypto market’s price action is full of uncertainty and challenges, but it also contains potential opportunities. $MVLL $KITE
