Have you ever noticed this phenomenon? In the crypto world, you often hear stories like:

Someone just entered the market with a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars, initially complaining "This market is too crazy, I can't figure out the pattern." But after half a year or a year, their account balance skyrockets like a rocket, from tens of thousands directly to millions, or even more exaggerated. When asked how they did it, they just casually say: "Just caught a few waves of the rhythm."

In fact, turning a small account of 1000U into tens of thousands U is far from a fantasy. Ultimately, it boils down to two core words — **avoiding pitfalls and catching explosive points**.

**How can small accounts reverse the situation?**

With small funds, don’t tinker every day. Instead of frequent operations, focus your firepower on one or two major market moves. When a significant positive news hits, the first day is usually not the best time to exit, but by the second day, it’s often time to run — after the good news lands, the market often peaks, which is a common market pattern.

Be especially cautious before major news or holidays. Reduce your positions if needed, and re-enter only when the situation is clear. Don’t go all-in on medium- or long-term allocations; try small positions and keep some bullets. This way, you can withstand market volatility. Short-term trading emphasizes speed; if the direction is wrong, admit defeat immediately. Don’t fight the market head-on.

When the market moves quickly, be decisive; when it moves slowly, be patient. If you see the wrong direction, cut losses immediately — capital preservation is the top priority. As long as your principal is safe, there’s a chance to turn things around.

**How to read technical analysis?**

For short-term trading, focus on 15-minute K-line charts. The KDJ indicator is extremely useful when used well. But ultimately, how much you earn depends on your mindset. Those driven by emotions of rise and fall will never make big money. Only traders who stay calm and are not hijacked by greed or fear can survive longer and earn more in the crypto market.

**Core mindset**

Mainstream coins like $BTC, $ETH have many opportunities; the problem is whether you can identify them. Some get blinded by greed and end up losing at the top; others use calmness as armor and carve out a path through blood. Small funds aiming to surge to 1 million must do both: avoid being swayed by market sentiment and accurately catch key opportunities.

The crypto world is indeed chaotic, but clear-headed people can always find a breakthrough.
