I’ve messed up myself, so I understand better how to turn things around
Three years ago, I went all in when ETH broke through its previous high, only to face a halving. On that rainy night, I smiled bitterly at the screen: “So ‘hard work’ is a derogatory term in the crypto world.” Later, I realized: 90% of losses come from “overexertion.” Every sentence I share today is a philosophy of survival that I exchanged for hard-earned money; I don’t expect you to have an epiphany immediately, but I hope for a bit more calm perspective in a frenzied market.
Rule One: Volume is the market's breath, not noise
Newcomers look at K-lines, veterans look at volume. A rapid rise with shrinking volume = a trap for the bulls, a creeping decline with increasing volume = selling off. For example, during a recent Dogecoin surge, Twitter hype soared but trading volume shrank; I immediately reminded the community, ‘Don’t chase false breakouts.’ Sure enough, three days later, the price halved. The real trend requires sustained volume support—just like breathing, stability is key for longevity.
Rule Two: A flash crash is a 'mirror to reveal the demon'
When the market suddenly crashes, most people panic and cut losses, but I will open the blockchain explorer to check for large transfers. A typical signal of the main force selling: rapid decline, soft rebound. Remember, a rebound after a flash crash is like a poisonous mushroom, beautiful but deadly. Better to miss out than be tempted.
Rule Three: High-level consolidation is the 'calm before the storm'
Is the coin price stagnant for a long time after doubling, with trading volume exhausted? This is often a sign of liquidity exhaustion. The real main force retreats without fanfare. For example, a certain DeFi coin stagnated at $50 for a month, and retail investors thought it was forming a bottom, only for the project team to suddenly sell off, causing the price to drop to zero. The longer it stagnates, the more brutal the directional choice.
Rule Four: The bottom is 'waited' out, not 'guessed' out
I never buy the 'first foot' at the bottom. A true bottom requires two confirmations: first, a volume rebound + second, a volume decrease on a pullback. For example, when Bitcoin hit the bottom on one occasion, I waited for the daily line to contract and fluctuate for three consecutive days, and only started accumulating when the MACD showed a bottom divergence. Patience is your cheapest chip.
Rule Five: K-line is the script, and volume is the actor
Looking at K-line alone is like reading a silent movie, while trading volume is the dubbing. Decreasing volume with rising prices = a solo performance, increasing volume with falling prices = a collective curtain call. I habitually use the 'volume-price divergence rate' to assist my judgment: when the price hits a new high but the volume continues to shrink, reduce positions by 30%; conversely, when the price hits a new low but the volume expands, consider entering tentatively.
Rule Six: Extreme mindset = 'No addiction'
The highest ability in the crypto space is to say 'no' to opportunities. I force myself to be in cash for a week every month, staying away from the market. Trading is not about frequency but about the success rate. Last May, during the market frenzy, I did not operate for 15 consecutive days, avoiding a subsequent 40% crash. A true hunter can endure loneliness.
Private words written for sisters
As women, we are inherently more sensitive to emotions, but this is an advantage in the crypto space: we can better perceive the market's collective greed and fear. But please remember:
Reject 'chicken soup-style recommendations': those KOLs boasting about 'hundredfold coins' may be quietly selling off.
Invest with spare money: I always invest only 10% of my assets, I can sleep well and earn steadily;
Create your information cocoon: only focus on project official websites and on-chain data, block out community noise.
The last sentence is a heartfelt truth
The market will never lack opportunities, what it lacks is people who can survive until the end. When you no longer cling to 'getting rich quickly', wealth will instead run after you. May we both find a 'lazy' and free clarity in this crazed land.
