When a notification pops up in my account saying "37,000 USDT added in a single day," my fingers naturally let go of the keyboard—there's no sudden heartbeat acceleration like when I first entered the crypto space, only a sense of certainty about this number. This isn't luck.

Having been in the crypto world for 8 years, I spent nearly 6 of those years fully immersed in K-line analysis. I've experienced the madness of group chats flooding at 3 a.m. due to explosive gains, and I've also tasted the feeling of facing trading charts after a liquidation, sipping cold takeout while reviewing trades until dawn. Many people dismiss it with a phrase like "Crypto depends on luck," but they don't believe in my "data-driven" methodology, which has yielded a hundredfold returns over more than 2000 days.

Where's the secret? Simply put, I haven't placed a single order based on "feelings" in over 2000 days.

Every time I get liquidated, I mark the volume performance under each K-line to find clues of capital fleeing. After stopping loss, I review where my strategy might have lacked logic—perhaps I missed the warning sign of "high-level consolidation with no volume." Even when the market hits rock bottom, I don't rush to buy the dip—only when I see the "shrinking volume followed by increasing volume" stabilization signal do I dare to enter. Because K-lines are just surface indicators; volume is the true temperature of the market.

Through practical experience over the years, I’ve summarized 6 core rules:

Volume reflects people's sentiment. No volume support during a rapid rise? Likely speculation. If the market slowly declines with capital quietly exiting, don’t try to catch the falling knife.

A slow rebound after a flash crash is probably the main force taking the opportunity to trap those following the trend.

Consolidation at high levels without volume is more dangerous than sudden volume spikes. Once buying dries up, a deep decline follows.

Bottom-fishing requires waiting for the "shrinking volume then increasing volume" signal. Buying without volume is prone to being caught off guard.

K-lines are the result; volume is the weather vane of sentiment. A rise without volume is just a false rally.

The most advanced operation is actually having the courage to hold an empty position. When the market feels off, staying out is much safer than blindly entering.

Over these 6 years of observation, many people haven't lacked opportunities—they've lost their "data mindset" amid market fluctuations—chasing after rising prices blindly, panicking during declines, ultimately pushing themselves into a dead end. The essence of trading isn't guessing the right direction but managing each decision with data and discipline.
