Two years ago, a friend entered the crypto world with only $1,500 USD as her principal. Over these 730 days, she didn't witness any earth-shattering super rallies, but she steadily advanced with a seemingly "simple" method. Now, her account assets have surpassed $900,000 USD.



The core of this method consists of six principles, all related to trading volume.

**During rapid rises and slow declines, pay attention to the market makers accumulating positions.** After a rally, a slow decline is usually a shakeout; don't be scared into selling. What is the true top signal? Suddenly increasing volume with a sharp surge, followed by a rapid decline trapping late buyers—that's the top. Be cautious and avoid being tempted to panic sell.

**During quick declines and slow recoveries, it might be market makers unloading.** A rebound after a flash crash isn't necessarily a buying opportunity; it could be the final blow. Don't think, "It's already fallen so much, where else can it go?" That kind of thinking is the easiest way to get caught.

**Lack of volume at the top should raise suspicion.** High volume at a high level might still push prices higher, but once volume disappears, a collapse signal is near.

**Volume at the bottom requires consistency.** Single spikes in volume are often bait to attract retail traders; if volume continues for several days after a shakeout, that's a real accumulation opportunity.

**Trading volume is a mirror of market sentiment.** Candlestick charts are just appearances; understanding the market key lies in volume. Small volume indicates little interest, large volume means real funds are flowing in.

**"Silence" is true skill.** Without obsession, be willing to hold cash when needed; seize opportunities decisively without greed. Stay calm, and the crypto journey can be long-term.

Honestly, these six methods are not complicated—they're about stability. Many traders prefer frequent trading, but the most solid approach is to take it slow, do each trade well, and stay patient. Volume reveals the truth, provided you learn to listen.

1500U two years to reach 900,000. This number sounds incredible... but slow and steady compound interest is indeed this powerful. 2. I've known this volume theory for a long time; the key is execution. Most people understand it but can't do it. 3. "Talent is not the real skill" really struck a chord with me. During periods of no position, it truly tests your mindset. 4. The "fast drop, slow rise" pattern—many people have indeed been caught off guard here. 5. Judging the continuity of volume at the bottom—simply put, it's about whether funds are truly entering the market. This detail is very important. 6. Low volume indicates no one is playing—this is a hard truth... Sometimes, it's just following the trend in trading. 7. No volume at the top is the real signal; ironically, many people interpret it incorrectly. 8. Honestly, this method is very simple, but executing it requires years of practice. 9. People who trade frequently will never make big money—this is common sense but hard to put into practice. 10. Volume is a mirror, provided you learn how to read it... this takes time.

1500U flipped to 900,000, that's a pretty crazy number... But is it really just about watching the volume? I feel like I always interpret the volume wrong every time I look at it. Hey, this "Wu" (nothing) strategy sounds a bit Zen-like, but I still can't control my hands. It's easier to talk than to do; when emotions run high, I forget all analysis. I understand the frequent trading approach too well; after cutting losses N times, I realize sometimes doing nothing is the best move. It feels like this method goes against human nature; most people probably can't handle this "Wu" (nothing) mindset. I often get tempted by volume at the bottom, then get trapped... Looks like I need to watch a few more days before making a move. This way of thinking is quite clear, but actually executing it really tests human nature.

1500U two years to reach 900,000. This deal definitely makes a lot of profit, but the theoretical volume sounds a bit confusing to me. Honestly, isn't it just about the face of the big players? Can a sudden drop in trading volume really save you? It seems like many people don't make money even when they look at this stuff. The key is execution. I believe in this sister. Everyone knows a stable method, but only those who dare to sleep peacefully are the real big shots. Trading volume is a mirror, and retail investors are like the monkey looking into the mirror, haha. Being ungreedy is too difficult. To be honest, if I hadn't already broken even, I would have gone all in long ago. This theory sounds comfortable, but I'm afraid that once the market turns, no logic will work. It still depends on luck. Really? When the bottom volume is continuous, why do I always get cut at the last moment? Maybe I'm just not cut out for crypto.

1500U two years 900x, this number sounds outrageous but it's not unheard of... The key is she doesn't operate frequently, just focusing on price action, there's something there. The trading volume is real, you can't fool people. Those who were shaken out by the washout should reflect on themselves. This logic boils down to one word: "Patience." Most people fail because they can't hold back. I remember the rule about volume at the bottom indicating continuity; a single spike in volume is indeed a trap for naive traders. You're right, only by letting go of obsession can you live longer. I used to be greedy too, either eating noodles or getting caught, now holding cash is even more comfortable than opening positions. Lack of volume at the top is actually the most dangerous; it goes against intuition, but that's exactly how traps are set. 1500 to 900, sounds beautiful, but this guy must have experienced losses to understand this strategy; it wasn't how he played from the start. The candlestick pattern, volume is the truth—this is no nonsense. It's just that too many people are too lazy to look at it.

1500U to 900,000, how much patience does that require? I can't hold back for two months. 2. Is trading volume a mirror? Ha, my mirror always fails to reflect clearly, and instead, I lose money. 3. A quick drop and slow rise is the final blow, but why do I never get hit by every single one? 4. Basically, don't be greedy, but greed is my instinct. Sorry about that. 5. All six points are correct, but the problem is I choose five and do the opposite. 6. The continuity of volume at the bottom sounds simple, but in practice, I start guessing blindly. 7. The real skill isn't the method, but that I didn't drive myself to a mental breakdown in those two years.
