This round of the market looks like opportunities are everywhere, but in reality, it's a carefully designed meat grinder. Every day, someone claims to have successfully bottomed out and become rich overnight, but more voices are reporting losses and crashes. The problem isn't your intelligence; it's the rules of this game itself—whoever controls the information, controls the wealth.

Many people fall into a deadly illusion: thinking the market will continue to rise. But what’s the result? The index goes up, while their accounts shrink. This isn't a coincidence; it's the market's truth. When you think you've made a profit, you might just not have been fully harvested yet.

To survive this round of the market, you must first avoid the five deadly traps.

**First Trap: Still Waiting for a Unilateral Surge**

The imagination of a bull market is beautiful, but the reality is a mix of trends and oscillations. Every rise is followed by a sell-off, and every sell-off causes some to be washed out. Those betting on a one-way trend, missing the move, getting washed out, end up giving all their profits back to the market. Instead of fantasizing, it's better to recognize the pattern—oscillating markets focus on structure, not direction.

**Second Trap: No Trading Bottom Line**

To survive until the end of the trend, you must survive today first. The most common mistake beginners make: full position, heavy holdings, continuous all-in, high leverage, emotional entries. Trigger any one of these, and you’re essentially sentencing yourself to death. One impulsive move could wipe your account clean. Remember, the premise of compound interest is that the principal remains.

**Third Trap: Blindly Picking Unknown Coins**

If you don't understand the project logic, capital flow, or ecosystem construction, what makes you dare to hold heavily? Coins you don't understand are black holes—throw your money in, and wait for it to turn to dust. Instead of betting on probabilities, stick to mainstream coins. Only after you accumulate enough knowledge should you consider other opportunities.

**Fourth Trap: Not Realizing You've Been Cut by Hot Topics**

Hotspot rotations happen at lightning speed. By the time you see a certain concept trending in discussion forums, the big players have already laid out their positions and are quietly offloading at high levels. Most people are destined to be the bagholders—chasing highs means you've already lost. A smarter approach is: during the bottoming phase of mainstream coins, lay in wait; use small positions to test the waters with altcoins; never chase highs.

**Fifth Trap: Still Waiting for Domestic News**

The real market rhythm is in Europe, America, and Japan/Korea, where capital flows and policy changes are first reflected. Most of the domestic news you see is second-hand information. By the time good news is announced, you realize someone has already started distributing at high levels. Information gaps equal wealth gaps—getting key information early gives you a better chance to grab chips when real opportunities arise.

This market isn't about courage or luck. It's about who can access more information, whose trading structure is more rational, and who has more stable psychological resilience. Those who survive are the ones qualified to share in the huge profits. Those who fall are not because the market is bad, but because they used the wrong methods. Stop trading with the mindset of a leek—it's time to wake up.
