Many beginners' first reaction after entering the market is to rush for quick profits, fearing to miss out on a certain opportunity, but the result is often getting caught when they jump in. In fact, trading in the crypto world doesn't have to be so frantic. Steady positioning and testing the waters first are the correct approaches; rushing in will only make you the bagholder.



Sideways consolidation may seem boring, but this is actually the easiest time to make money. When the market repeatedly consolidates at low levels or even hits new lows, you can consider heavy accumulation for a bottom. Conversely, during high-level consolidation with upward momentum, decisively selling can lock in profits. The key is to understand support and resistance levels thoroughly; hidden within sideways markets are stable profit opportunities.

The real test comes from rapid market fluctuations. Dare to sell during peaks and act decisively during dips—this is how you stay on the winning side. However, during sideways phases, you need to change your strategy—patiently observe, let the market lead, and only act when rebound or pullback signals appear.

The core logic of timing buy and sell actions is actually simple: be cautious when others are greedy, and have courage when others are fearful. In practice, buying on red candles and selling on green candles is fundamental. A sharp decline in the morning signals an entry point, while a sharp rise in the morning is a good opportunity to reduce positions. Wait for the right timing before acting; blindly chasing rallies will only get you caught at high levels.

That's right, but I found that nine out of ten people around me are still chasing high... Rush in in the morning, and at noon you cry and cut the meat

That's right, but all beginners want to get rich overnight, and as a result, they all become bagholders... The most comfortable time is during sideways trading, buying heavily at low levels and decisively selling at high levels, steadily making profits... The key is to have patience. Stay calm when others are frantic, dare to act when others are panicking—that's the winning mindset... Chasing highs and selling lows is truly a deadly disease. Many people get caught at high levels because of greed...

That's right, I only understood this truth after being trapped before, and there's really no rush.

That's right, I was rushing to buy the dip earlier and got caught deep. Now I've learned my lesson. --- The most testing time for your mindset is during sideways trading. Really, watching others surge, I also want to follow the trend. --- Buying on bearish candles and selling on bullish candles sounds simple, but it's really hard to do in practice. --- Those who made profits from the big dip this morning, I always seem to be one step behind. --- Is it cautious when others are greedy? Easy to say, but who can really resist in practice? --- This market has been sideways for so long, early dip buyers have already made profits, and I'm still on the sidelines. --- Relying on heavy positions to buy the dip is just for listening; few dare to go all-in. --- The key is to understand the support levels thoroughly; otherwise, it's all guesswork and can't read the market. --- Jumping into the market at a fruit break? I always react half a beat too late. --- I've already been educated by the community as a bagholder; I won't be reckless anymore. --- Selling on bullish candles is really tough; I always want to hold on for one more try, but end up trapped. --- The market first shows its hand before acting; it sounds reliable, but it still requires accumulated experience. --- I need to remember to reduce positions when there's a big rise in the morning. Next time, I'll try it.

The selling point is always wrong, always cutting positions at the highest point. This move is truly exceptional.

Basically, don't chase the rally; buying the dip at low levels is the real strategy. A sharp drop in the morning is actually an opportunity. Once you understand this, you've already won half the battle. The worst thing for beginners is jumping in and getting caught. What's the rush? During sideways trading, you can actually make steady profits. When others are panicking, I get in the market—that's the winning mindset. Chasing the rally and selling the dip is the easiest way to get cut. Understanding support levels is the key. Watching sideways movement all day can be boring, but actually, that's the best market condition to make money. It all sounds right, but the key is execution. Most people still can't resist chasing highs. Buying on red candles and selling on green candles sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult.
