In half a year, the principal has increased by over 500 times. There's no secret; it's about treating trading as a long-term challenge game, where each level must be approached steadily and carefully.

Many people ask, how do you survive in this market? My answer is simple: learn to understand the true voice of the market, and don't be fooled by superficial K-line charts.

**Volume is the true sentiment of the market**

The most profound realization over the past two years is—K-line charts can lie, but trading volume won't. Whether bullish or bearish, the inflow and outflow of funds are reflected in the volume charts. Many people trade cryptocurrencies blindly, unable to see what the main forces are doing, and naturally they get wiped out quickly.

**6 truths about the market**

**First signal: Rapid rise and slow fall, a sign of shakeout**

Rise like lightning, fall like a turtle's pace. On the surface, it seems to be consolidating, but in reality, the main forces are secretly accumulating. Those sharp increases followed by slow declines are not meant to crush your positions but to dig traps. True tops are different—they often involve a volume surge followed by a free fall, causing retail investors to doubt their own judgment.

**Second signal: Small rebound after a sharp decline may be the last blow**

A fierce drop and a slow rise—what does this mean? The main forces have already left. That weak rebound after a flash crash looks like a bargain opportunity, but it's actually the most dangerous trap. Many will tell themselves, "It's already fallen so much, what more can it fall?" This mindset will lead to even greater losses.

**Third signal: No volume at high levels is truly dangerous**

There's a saying in the stock market: a volume surge at high levels is a false breakout. The same applies in crypto markets. If there's still trading volume at high levels, it indicates ongoing participation and possibly more upward movement. But if the volume suddenly disappears at high levels, showing dead silence, that's a prelude to a crash. Many tops are formed this way.

**Fourth signal: Continuous volume at the bottom, beware of single bait traps**

Many people buy at the bottom and get trapped. The problem is that a single volume spike at the bottom is often a bait. What does real accumulation look like? First, some oscillation, then continuous volume increases, gradually raising the bottom. That's what the main forces are truly doing.

**Fifth signal: Volume represents participation, participation determines future trends**

In any market, trading volume is the most honest indicator. When volume is low, market participation is weak, and trends are hard to sustain. When volume is high, it indicates funds are flowing in. The logic is simple, but few can truly apply this principle to guide their trading.

**Sixth signal: Obsession can ruin trading**

This is the most critical point. Many people lose money not because their methods are wrong, but because they are too obsessed. Holding on stubbornly when they should be out, hesitating to buy the dip when they should act. True trading masters, when they can't see clearly, choose to wait quietly—calm and unhurried. Some call this "lying flat," but I believe this is the highest realm of trading.

**The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is calmness**

Crypto markets are always active; what’s missing are those who can control their hands and see the situation clearly. Many people are not slow to react but are wandering aimlessly without logic. Once you can analyze volume to see through the market and control your mindset, surviving in this market becomes much easier.

The key point remains: chasing trends won't make you rich; only understanding the essence of market operation can truly help you seize opportunities.
