Let me share some insights I've gained over the years in trading within the crypto circle, hoping to help you avoid some pitfalls.



The biggest test of mentality in the market is this: when a strong coin adjusts at a high level and continues to decline, many people start to panic. But think carefully, the real entry opportunities are often hidden in these calm periods—once emotions are washed away, a new direction will emerge.

My trading habit is this: if a coin rises for two consecutive days, I will proactively reduce my position. Don’t misunderstand, this isn’t bearishness, but rather taking profits in time. Coins that surge more than 7% in a single day often have inertia the next day to push higher, but that requires caution.

The core logic of trading boils down to two words: volume and price. Breakouts with increased volume at low levels? Worth paying close attention to. High-volume moves at high levels that fail to rise? Withdraw decisively. Chasing gains and selling on dips hurts the most; observing trading volume and absorption strength is the key. Truly strong bull markets often see pullbacks as normal; rushing in blindly before a pullback usually means standing at a high position.

Another signal that’s easy to overlook: if the coin price fluctuates very little in succession, it indicates hesitation among funds. Don’t bet on the direction at this point—wait and see. If there’s still no clear direction, decisively switch to another target and don’t waste time in stalemate.

After entering the market, if the price doesn’t return near the cost basis the next day, there’s an 80% chance your judgment was wrong. Cutting losses in time isn’t admitting defeat; it’s being responsible for your account.

There’s a progressive pattern in short-term gains: first 30%, then 50%, and finally 70% to peak. Coins that rise for two days in a row still have opportunities for low buy-ins, but by the fifth day, it’s time to consider taking profits.

Regarding coin selection logic, I only focus on upward trends. In the short term, look for the 3-day moving average turning upward; mid-term, the 30-day moving average trending up; for a major upward wave, the 80-day moving average starting to rise; and if the 120-day moving average is upward, it indicates a long-term trend is established.

Many people ask me what to do if they don’t have much capital. Honestly, the deciding factor isn’t the initial funds but whether your method is clear, your mentality stable, your discipline strict, and whether you have patience to wait for a real opportunity. Small amounts can also generate big trends—depends on how you do it.

Finally, I want to say: opportunities and risks in the crypto world are always two sides of the same coin. Those who can go far in this market rely on review, correction, and continuous growth. Confusion is normal, but don’t stumble around blindly in the dark. If you’re still exploring now, like, follow, and let’s clarify the direction together.

Price and volume are the fundamentals; everything else is虚的 --- It's good to say, but executing it is difficult for anyone --- I've always been bad at reducing positions; greed kills --- Stop-loss is the most critical, but unfortunately I often lose money to numbness --- That moment when the 80-day moving average turns is truly绝啊, missed several times --- Playing with small funds relies on mentality; otherwise, I would have been爆仓早了 --- For coins that are stuck, decisive switching is indeed necessary; wasting time costs the most --- Reducing positions for two consecutive days, how much canpower to resist诱惑啊 --- Low buy-in is truly an art; just one point off and I reverse and cut losses --- I remember the signal of volume increasing at high levels and not moving

Price and volume are the fundamentals; everything else is nonsense. I've used this logic for two years; a pullback is a golden opportunity. High-level continuous limit-ups? I sold early, haha. Honestly, mindset is a hundred times more important than capital. On the day of a 7% increase, I never get greedy. Stop-loss is the only way to come out alive. Continuous sideways trading? Just exit directly, I don't gamble on this. Two days of consecutive gains made me nervous, ready to sell. The 120-day moving average hasn't risen; I won't even touch it. Too many chasing highs and getting trapped—serves them right. How can small capital turn around? Just follow this discipline. Fear of pullbacks really kills people. I just want to ask, how do you find those low-level volume surges? Reviewing is the most exhausting, but without review, you just repeat losses. When choosing coins, go for those with clear trends; don't bother with those sideways ghosts. Small capital actually makes it easier to operate, no baggage.

Selling off for two consecutive days, how steady must that mindset be? I'm still holding on there. --- Price and volume are the hard truths; this phrase is spot on, saving me a lot of tuition fees. --- You're right, small funds need to be more disciplined; otherwise, they could lose everything in minutes. --- I totally understand standing guard at high positions; it's always just a little bit off... --- Patience for a pullback is really the hardest, especially when you see others making money. --- Trying out the combo of 3-day, 30-day, and 80-day moving averages. --- The period where the coin price fluctuated very little really hit home; I wasted two months in this kind of stalemate before. --- Reviewing and mindset—these sound simple, but actually, they are the hardest two things. --- The 7% threshold is quite interesting; I haven't broken it down this finely before. --- Cutting losses in time = being responsible for the account; this phrase needs to be engraved in my mind.
