#密码资产动态追踪 I have been in the market for nine years, and this year I am exactly thirty-four. The current standard for daily expenses starts at around 2,000 for hotels. It's not about showing off; mainly, compared to classmates who are still stuck on factory assembly lines or in e-commerce operations, life is indeed much more comfortable.



I realized early on that relying on a monthly salary plus bonuses makes it almost impossible to achieve a social class leap. So at that time, there was nothing to say—I simply bet on trading. The cost of that was not small—blown positions, sleepless nights, losing principal. Through these painful lessons, I gradually built the confidence I have now.

Having experienced both bull and bear markets, price movements on K-lines are now routine. Truly successful traders who are still around today are never because of their technical skills but because they deeply understand one principle—when to exit, when to bet.

For example, if the market rises sharply but the pullback is slow, it’s usually the market maker enticing more buyers to absorb the supply. Chasing in at this point means taking over the position. Another example: after a sharp decline, a weak rebound often indicates a fake out for selling. Those rushing to buy the bottom are most likely to get caught. Large volume at a high level doesn’t necessarily signal a top, but if volume shrinks and prices move sideways at high levels, that’s a real danger signal. Don’t get too excited about volume at the bottom either; only after continuous volume increases and the price stabilizes does it become a true sign of accumulation.

In simple terms, the movements of $BTC, $ETH, $SOL and other coins are ultimately driven by market sentiment. And those genuine emotional fluctuations are actually reflected in changes in trading volume.

What’s interesting is that the moment you most want to jump in is often exactly when the smart money is preparing to exit; and when you’re most afraid, the big players’ chips have already been taken over. The market repeatedly harvests just a few types of people—those who can’t control their hands and want to turn things around quickly, or those with poor psychological resilience who keep chasing highs and selling lows. People who have blown their accounts aren’t necessarily fools; most lack self-control. Those dreaming of turning things around with a single market move will find the market “diligently” teaching them a lesson.

I never think I’m particularly smart, but over the years I’ve been doing one thing repeatedly—review, revise, and iterate. Making money ultimately comes down to seriously summarizing after each mistake, relying on experience accumulation, not luck, and definitely not following some big V’s calls.

My decision-making approach has now upgraded, mainly relying on systematic models and data analysis, operating in waves according to market rhythm. Opportunities are never lacking in the crypto market; what’s truly scarce are traders who can both identify opportunities and control themselves.

Nine years already, you speak quite sincerely, but I think the most heartbreaking part is still that phrase "can't control your hands," which hits many people's pain points. Two thousand yuan a night is indeed enjoyable, but why does this literary style feel a bit like success stories of micro-businesses? Self-control is truly the most scarce resource in trading; it's more valuable than any technical analysis, and there's no doubt about that. Review, review, review—it's easy to say, but why not talk about those who keep losing money and still keep reviewing? The market's way of educating people is to directly cause you to get liquidated, which leaves the deepest impression. The discussion on the relationship between volume and price is indeed insightful, not just theoretical talk. But the reality is that most people don't even make it to the stage of "experience accumulation" before they drop out. Chasing gains and selling losses is always done by the majority, so the market makers never lack willing buyers; are we all just those buyers?

Nine years and still alive, which shows I really have some skills. However, I've heard that volume analysis method too many times, and those who can truly make money don't like to talk about it. You're right, controlling your hands is very important. I've seen too many big shots get wiped out because of greed. Two thousand yuan for a hotel is indeed good, but don't forget the bull market still needs to continue rising. I've noted the signal of volume shrinking and sideways trading. Next time I see it, I'll run immediately. Self-discipline is really more valuable than skills, I agree with that. Damn, it still depends on review and reflection; there's no shortcut.

After so many years of market analysis, honestly, it's a psychological game. No matter how advanced the technology is, it can't withstand self-sabotage. The story of trading volume is the most genuine; the market won't lie, it's just that most people don't understand it or, even if they do, can't control their impulses. Nine years of ups and downs have taught me this—how much tuition does a newcomer need to understand it? Really, half of the traders who have made it this far rely on skill, half rely on luck, and the other half rely on self-discipline, haha. Reviewing, correcting, and iterating this process is indeed foolproof, but most people give up after just a few months. That period of sideways movement at high levels was spot on; I've seen too many people die here, thinking it was a sign of an upward trend. Honestly, the market's harshest aspect isn't losing money; it's watching others profit after you've lost everything, and your mindset collapses.

Honestly, this set of theories sounds great, but only two out of ten people can really do it. The core is still self-discipline; most people simply can't control their own hands. The relationship between price and volume is indeed crucial, but the market loves to repeatedly mess with your mentality. I remember the time I also chased the high and got educated; now I can't look at it the same way. However, I really envy hotels starting at two thousand; I'm still hesitating between five-star and three-star. Surviving nine years shows that everything is right, but the probability of replicating this is really low.

In other words, it's about mindset and self-discipline. The flashy technical charts are actually traps. --- Nine years already. This guy's experience is truly worth reflecting on, but I think what's more important is that phrase "control yourself." That's really the hurdle most people can't get over. --- I have a slightly different opinion on volume. I feel it's still necessary to look at the fundamentals; blindly watching K-line charts can easily lead to being fooled. --- There's no problem with the iterative review process, but honestly, during a bull market, you can often make money just by luck. It's only when the bear market comes that you realize who truly has strength. --- Hotels starting at around two thousand... Alright, I still prefer to save money by sleeping in a homestay and continue adding to my positions. Everyone has their own way of living. --- This theory sounds right, but when it comes to actual execution, losing your composure can make you forget everything. I am a living example of that. --- The dream of turning things around with one market move is indeed time to wake up from, but it's much easier said than done when it comes to actual operation.

Honestly, I've heard this set of theories too many times, but only a handful of people actually implement them. The key still comes down to two words: mindset. Most people simply can't endure those few margin calls. --- A hotel at 2000 per night is indeed comfortable, but what's even more heartbreaking is that the people around me haven't even thought about changing. --- I'm also using this volume-based strategy, but I feel that now the market makers' tactics are getting deeper and deeper, so I have to stay alert at all times. --- Nine years, huh? I really can't learn patience. I'm the kind of person who wants to turn things around in one shot, and the market has taught me a lesson that I can't forget. --- Reviewing past trades is indeed useful, but I just can't stick to it. Every time I lose money, I think about making it back in the next trade, and I just can't stop. --- Controlling yourself is more important than any technical analysis. I agree with this to my core. But I just can't do it—who hasn't said the same? --- Is the system model reliable? It feels like the market noise is so loud now, and sometimes data can even deceive you. --- There's nothing wrong with this explanation, but how many traders who actually make money dare to speak frankly about these? Most are still hyping up their own techniques.
