The speed of the Candlestick fluctuations is actually far less important than the rhythm of one's own mindset.
My seven years of experience in the cryptocurrency world have given me a different understanding of this market. From an initial capital of 20,000 USDT to now managing assets in the millions, I haven't relied on any insider information, nor have I encountered any "legendary market trends." To put it simply, it's just a set of the simplest and most straightforward methodologies, applied repeatedly and refined over time, which has gradually led me to some insights.
On this journey, liquidation and cutting losses have become commonplace. But I found that most people lose not because there are too few opportunities, but because they can't control their greed in front of every opportunity—always wanting to go faster and faster. And the result? Haste makes waste, and this is often where they stumble.
What I want to talk to everyone about today is not some quick-rich scheme (which doesn't actually exist), but rather some practical insights I've gathered from years of struggle and experience.
**Volume-Price Relationship: The Key to Uncovering Market Tricks**
In trading, there is a phenomenon that is particularly容易被忽视—急涨然后慢跌. What does this usually mean? The main force is quietly accumulating positions at low levels. Think about how grandmas stock up when the supermarket has discounts. No rush, take it slow. The main force operates on this logic, "picking up bargains" when prices are low, without showing any signs.
Conversely, if there is a large bearish candlestick following a sharp rise, it is almost like the main force is ringing the bell to signal the end of the session.
When I first entered the circle, I couldn't help but want to chase after the surges, and what was the result? I often found myself trapped at the peak. Later, I gradually learned to observe the trading volume, and it felt like I finally understood the rhythm in the music. The relationship between price and trading volume is actually the market speaking.
A detail in operations: when the price reaches a new high but the trading volume decreases, it is time to be cautious, as it often indicates that the upward momentum is weakening. Conversely, if the price does not reach a new high but the bottom trading volume is accumulating, this gentle accumulation signal often suggests potential for future gains.
The trends of mainstream coins like ETH are particularly obvious. If you observe several waves of market movements, you will find that this pattern is actually traceable.
**Where is the real trap?**
The easiest way to lose in the market is not through technical issues, but through psychological ones. Especially after making a small profit, that feeling of "I seem to have grasped the规律" emerges. Then comes the leverage, heavy positions, and the belief that you are invincible. Little do you know, each stroke of luck is paving the way for the next liquidation.
I have seen too many people who can hold on during market lows but are crushed by greed during rebounds. Why? Because they confuse "having opportunities" with "having to buy at the bottom." Opportunities are always there, but your capital is limited.
Those who can survive for a long time in this line are often not the greediest, but those who know how to give up—knowing when to take a break and when to exit. In the past seven years in the cryptocurrency world, I have lost money and friends, but the greatest gain has been learning that sometimes "not doing" is more valuable than "doing."
When looking at the Candlestick, don't just focus on the line itself. Ask yourself: what does the trading volume behind it say? Where is the main force accumulating chips? Are you chasing highs with the crowd, or waiting for the actual entry point?
Maintaining the rhythm is the key to living longer.

ngl, the whole "discipline over greed" thesis is arguably sound, but it glosses over some non-trivial path dependency issues in how retail actually perceives vol/sentiment dynamics. historically precedent suggests most people still chase candles anyway...

Hey, I got the story of your seven years. To put it simply, greed can kill. I just want to ask, how's that initial capital of 20,000 U now? Is it still in the account? Haha.

Well... it's true what you said, but I figured this out three years ago, and I even got trapped twice back then. Now I'm a bit scared instead; when opportunities come, I don't dare to take action, haha.
