A fan recently shared an experience — the account grew from 26,000U to 85,400U in less than 10 days. It looks like pure luck, but there’s actually a set of strategies behind it worth discussing.

During that period, the market was indeed very sluggish. As the year-end approached, many people were thinking about withdrawing funds to rest. The entire market was shrinking in volume and sentiment was bleak. Even I was considering pulling out to take a breather. Just when everyone let their guard down, market signals appeared.

Looking back, the success of this wave was due to preparations that started a week in advance. During those seven days, I only did one thing — review the targets, filtering out those that had completed their structure and where sentiment had bottomed out. On the third day, anomalies appeared: large on-chain investors began accumulating, and the market depth noticeably increased. At that moment, I didn’t hesitate; I tested the waters with a small position.

When the market truly kicked off, there was no dragging or hesitation. It was swift and decisive. Responses were quick: rolling over positions, increasing holdings, ignoring group chats, not refreshing news — just focusing entirely on the market. As the market became crazier later on, maintaining calm was even more important. When emotions are ignited, that’s actually a signal to consider reducing positions. When others chase the high, it’s time to lock in profits.

After offloading the main positions, I had a strategic pool prepared in advance for the end of the month. An airdrop directly credited over 3,200U — almost an unexpected bonus.

Many asked how I dared to do this later on. Honestly, the answer is very pragmatic — the market doesn’t appear out of nowhere; it’s because you’re unprepared. Most people always want to wait a bit longer, confirm again, be more cautious, but the crypto world doesn’t give you that confirmation — it only offers opportunities for decision-making.

What truly creates the gap isn’t frequent trading, but those one or two times when you dare to go all-in and still manage to walk away unscathed. The three key strategies for success in this wave are: first, having a keen sense of capital flow — not chasing hype, but watching the money; second, strong execution — having the courage to buy during dips and sell during crazy rallies; third, strict discipline — sticking to your plan without wavering.

Slow is fast; living long enough means opportunities will naturally come knocking.

Exactly right, that's why most people are still waiting for confirmation, while others are already counting their money.

Really, that's why I always tell people not to rush into the bottom. You need to be patient and wait for signals; not every dip is worth catching. --- I totally agree with the concept of clean and decisive execution. Many people are indecisive and start to regret after missing the opportunity. --- Basically, it's a mindset issue. When things are crazy, you need to stay calm, which is the hardest part to do. --- The on-chain accumulation signal is indeed crucial; you need to learn how to observe how big players move. --- Focusing only on the money flow and not chasing hype is truly a motto. --- Reviewing and screening a week in advance with this methodology is worth learning; it's not just about luck. --- Strong discipline and a plan that doesn't change easily—easy to say, hard to do. --- Getting that 3200U airdrop at the end of the month was really satisfying; it's the reward for early planning. --- Living long naturally brings opportunities. It sounds simple but is actually the biggest test of human nature. --- I understand the part about rolling and adding positions; it's the art of not being greedy and taking profits when the time is right.

Really, it's not luck; the key is those seven days of preparation. Most people are waiting for confirmation, not realizing that the crypto world doesn't provide that sense of security at all. --- Daring to buy during the emotional valley—that's true skill. I used to always want to wait a bit longer, but ended up missing out time and again. --- This logic is clear: don't chase the hype, watch the capital flow. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. --- Adding to the position during a roll-over—your mental toughness has to be strong. When things are crazy, reducing the position instead; this reverse thinking really pays off. --- From 26,000 to 85,400, those numbers look pretty scary, but when broken down, it's still the same old rules. --- The key is that he still dares to walk away completely afterward—that's the hardest part. Most people can't hold onto their gains. --- Discipline is strong, plans are set and not repeatedly changed—that really hits home. Every time I change my plan, I end up losing everything in the end. --- The phrase "slow is fast" is brilliant. Too many in the crypto world want to get rich quickly, but end up getting harvested instead. --- This approach of testing with small positions I agree with, but it really tests psychological resilience and execution ability. --- It may look like luck, but it's actually a matter of information gap and decision-making. Whoever sees first wins.

The data is right here; from 26 to 85, it's indeed impressive. But still, the key is that seven-day review process—that's the real filter. Most people lack the patience and discipline to wait for this step, constantly thinking to wait a bit longer or double-check, and as a result, they miss the opportunity.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that most people lack that kind of determination. Actually, it's all about two words—discipline. It's not about being smart; it's about being ruthless. The most boring time is when you're actually making money, just watching the charts and numbers. The most critical week is the preparation period; right now, many people are too lazy to even take this step. I think the problem isn't about daring or not; it's whether you believe in your plan. Being able to sell during a crazy surge—that takes incredible willpower. Instead of constantly watching the news, it's better to spend time reviewing those key targets. The crypto world loves psychological warfare; if you can't control your emotions, you're doomed. Honestly, it's because they haven't suffered big losses; once you do, you'll understand what it means to take profits.

Damn, this is the wave I mentioned the other day. Preparation is really important, it's not just about luck. I really can't hold it anymore. Most people just wait and wait, and in the end, they didn't get anything and even missed out. This guy definitely has some skills. When emotions run high, he can still stay calm and exit. I need to learn from that. The key is execution. Once the plan is set, just do it. Don't keep changing the plan, damn it. You're right, the saying "slow is fast" I agree with.

That's exactly right. Most people die over the words "wait a little longer." I've seen it too many times. Those who truly make money are the ones who have already set the mines long before others are asleep.
