Three years ago, a fan named Little Fat was messing around in the crypto world, going from some savings to losing everything and ending up in debt, even leaving his girlfriend. Later, by chance, he met me. At that time, he only had 10,000 USDT left, and he begged me for help. I spent three years turning that 10,000 USDT into 300,000 USDT—without insider information and without catching a particularly crazy bull market, just relying on a set of "simple methods" repeated over and over. More than 1,000 days and nights, we only focused on one thing: treating trading like a game of leveling up, staying patient and honing our skills.

Today, I want to share these 6 practical insights. Mastering one can help you avoid losing tens of thousands of dollars; doing three can make you much more stable than 90% of retail investors.

**First: Rapid rises and slow declines are the market makers slowly stockpiling**

A sharp rally followed by a slow decline is usually a shakeout. Don’t rush to cut your losses. The real top is often marked by a sudden surge in volume followed by a "bang" and a waterfall decline, trapping new buyers.

**Second: Fast declines and slow rises indicate the market makers quietly unloading**

After a flash crash, the price slowly rebounds. Don’t think it’s a chance to scoop up cheap coins; it’s very likely the last move. Don’t think, "It’s already fallen so much, where else can it go?" That mindset is the easiest way to get caught.

**Third: Volume at the top isn’t necessarily over, but no volume is a warning sign**

High volume at a high point might still push the price further; if the high is quiet with no volume, that’s a true signal of a potential collapse.

**Fourth: Don’t rush into volume spikes at the bottom; sustained volume is more reliable**

A single volume spike might just be bait. First, let the price oscillate for a while; then, after several days of continuous volume, that’s a real opportunity to build a position.

**Fifth: Crypto trading is about human psychology—people’s emotions are hidden in the volume**

Candlestick charts show the result, but trading volume reveals the true sentiment. Low volume indicates no one is playing; sudden surges in volume mean real funds are entering.

**Sixth: "Nothing" is the real skill**

Don’t be obsessed; if it’s time to be out of the market, be out. Don’t chase bottoms when you shouldn’t; stay calm and composed. This isn’t about lying flat but about mastering your trading mindset.

Opportunities in the crypto world are always there; what’s missing is someone who can control their hands and see the bigger picture. You’re not slow—you’re just blindly stumbling in the dark. As long as you learn these, turning around in the crypto space is not a dream. The key is whether you can stick with it.
