Having navigated the crypto world for ten years, I have learned a harsh lesson from every market cycle. The earliest lesson I learned is this immutable rule that changed my destiny: when a strong coin drops nine days in a row from its high, it's not a danger signal; rather, it's an opportunity brought by market overpanic. Many people will wait, but I act early.

Conversely, two consecutive days of price surges are the time to reduce positions. Greed is the most common cause of death in this market—celebratory days are always too short, and few can preserve their profits. The market's biggest fear isn't losing money, but not knowing when to take profits and exit.

I've seen many coins surge more than 7% in a single day. Usually, there will be another rally the next day, but that's the last chance to exit; it's definitely not a signal to chase in. I've suffered many losses from such mistakes.

Where do real good opportunities hide? After a major bull run ends. When the excitement subsides and no one pays attention, that's actually the best window for strategic positioning. It sounds counterintuitive, but I have proven this with my money many times.

When a narrow fluctuation occurs for three days in a row, I watch for three more days. If there's still no clear action, I decisively switch positions. The market is always speaking; silence itself is also a signal, as long as you're willing to listen.

Losing the profits you made the previous day? Admit your mistake and don't stubbornly fight the trend. This market doesn't need you to win twice to make up for one loss.

After so many years in crypto, I’ve discovered a repeatedly validated phenomenon: on the top gainers list, "there are always three or five, and five or seven." It means that after two days of continuous rise, buying on dips often leads to the best selling point on the fifth day—this pattern works because it repeatedly proves effective.

Volume is the true pulse of the market. Low-volume breakout at a low price is a rally signal; high-volume stagnation at a high price is a warning to retreat. Trading without paying attention to volume is like walking a tightrope blindfolded.

My approach is simple: always stand on the side of the trend. The 3-day moving average turning upward indicates short-term momentum; the 30-day moving average rising signals medium-term strength; a reversal of the 80-day moving average suggests the main upward wave is coming; an upward 120-day moving average marks the time for long-term positioning. Riding the trend is the way to go far.

What is the biggest realization after ten years? Even with a small amount of capital, you can make a name for yourself, but only if your methods, mindset, and discipline are as solid as a rock.

This market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing are those who are prepared.

Finally, this lesson was paid for with blood and tears: before you have a stable cash flow, never go full-time into crypto trading. More importantly, never borrow money to enter the market—that’s not just about losing money, but could also ruin your entire life. Surviving in this market is far more valuable than getting rich overnight.

I used to stumble around in the dark; now, the light is in my own hands. The light is always on—are you coming along?
