RIVER this coin, I've looked at many people's trading records. To be honest, the most important lesson for long-term survival in the crypto market is not how to precisely buy the dip, but when to keep quiet and when not to move.

Many beginners get caught up in the progress bar right after entering the market, feeling that if they don't act, they'll be "losing money," but in reality? The market's biggest shortage is never the courage to place an order, but the ability to resist action.

Sideways movement without direction, in simple terms, is just wearing down your willpower. If your account isn't making money, your mindset will collapse first. The truly doubling opportunities often come after the trend has fully played out.

Another very important point—never develop an obsession with any coin. When the market is hot, everyone is hyping it up, and all kinds of stories are flying around; but once the hype cools down, the withdrawal of funds happens at an astonishing speed. You can get on the train, but you must always be prepared to get off at any moment. Being a step slow can easily make you the one who takes the last hit.

I've seen people run as soon as they see a volume breakout, but actually, that is often the signal that the trend is just beginning. Once a trend is established, there will definitely be pullbacks, which is normal. The real regret isn't those pullbacks, but leaving the market too early.

Conversely, when the market starts to surge continuously and the entire network is celebrating wildly, it's time to be cautious. When emotions reach their peak, a shakeout usually isn't far behind. This is the rhythm of the market; after watching for a while, you'll get a feel for it.

Trading isn't that complicated, really. If a pullback hits a key support level and doesn't break, consider entering; if it reaches a resistance level and doubts arise, reduce some positions. Short-term, it's not about who predicts the most accurately, but who maintains the most stable rhythm—when to buy, when to reduce, when to wait and see.

The key point is: never put your entire net worth into a single trade. Start with small amounts to test the waters, and once the direction is confirmed, gradually increase your position. This way, you can both test for errors and earn enough on the right side.

Ultimately, whether you can make money in the crypto market depends on how long you can stay in it. The market is always there, the trend will come, but your capital is limited. Being steady and slow can actually help you hold out until that opportunity belongs to you.
