#数字资产动态追踪 A few days left until the New Year. This year, my personal account grew by 600,000 USDT, but I have to be honest—this isn’t some genius move, but rather the result of paying enough tuition fees and figuring out the strategies to survive in this market.

**Staying Up Late Is a Mandatory Course**

Don’t buy into the so-called freedom of the crypto world; the real market activity is always locked into the working hours of European and American traders. Last year, I slept at 8 PM for three consecutive months, woke up at 3 AM to monitor the market, completely reversing my life rhythm. Honestly—it's worth it.

ETH experienced three clear surges in the early morning last year. Catching just one of those waves could have yielded over 30% gains. If you choose not to stay up late, you don’t even qualify to watch the show.

**Sudden Drop During Daytime? That’s a Gift**

Many newbies get confused when Asian markets plunge sharply. In reality, this is just the market manipulators harvesting the chives. The dive in Asian markets is often a false signal—foreign traders come back from work and push prices up sharply.

The most memorable instance was in July, when Bitcoin was hammered down to $59,000 during the day, and the entire community was bearish. I placed a reverse order at $58,500, and by night, it surged to $63,000. See, the harder the pinprick, the stronger the rebound afterward.

**Pinning Is Not a Coincidence, It’s a Shakeout Tactic**

Those sudden 15% drops look like abnormal volatility, but in reality, they are market makers clearing out floating positions. Last month, SOL experienced a 125-point waterfall pin, which scared everyone stiff, but within two days, it doubled. Skilled traders operate counter to panic.

Real market trends are never gentle—they are ruthless. The more panicked you are, the easier it is to get caught.

**When Good News Is Fully Priced In, It’s Time to Run**

The June ETF market was very typical. Bitcoin started preparing seven days in advance. After the official announcement, I immediately fully exited and went short, and the next day, it dropped by 10%. This is the harsh truth of the crypto world—when expectations are fulfilled, it’s time to "sell the news." Fundamentals don’t matter much here; what matters is understanding the market’s emotional nodes.

**Position Management Is the Real Moat**

I’ve seen too many people go all-in, only to either make a profit and then greedily get wiped out or become market casualties. My current rule is simple—never allocate more than 5% of your account to a single position. Some think this is too slow, but I believe that just being able to keep trading and stay alive already makes you a winner compared to most.

**Discipline Is More Valuable Than Technique**

The real big earners in crypto are never trading geniuses; they are those who can control themselves. Knowing when to run, resisting the temptation to chase gains, and waiting for the next opportunity—these are the fundamentals of top traders.

Markets are meant to be traded, not buried with. If you can’t accept this, just wait to be repeatedly taught a lesson by the market.
