Many people ask me how I’ve managed to survive in the crypto world. Honestly, there’s no secret—just repeatedly stepping into traps and learning from them. After three years, I’ve整理 some insights to share with everyone.
Rapid rise followed by slow decline is usually a sign of the whales stockpiling and shaking out weak hands, so don’t rush to sell. The true top appears after a volume surge followed by a waterfall crash. Conversely, during a sharp drop and slow recovery, be cautious—whales might be quietly distributing, and what seems like a bargain could actually be the final blow.
When there’s a volume spike at the top, don’t panic. The real danger is when there’s no volume. Volume indicates potential for further upward movement; lack of volume is basically a warning of a collapse. Strategies at the bottom also matter—single volume spikes are often bait, and sustained volume is key. If after some consolidation, you see continuous volume increases, that’s a signal of the main players building positions.
Ultimately, trading crypto is about trading human psychology. Trading volume reflects true market sentiment. Coins with low volume are unpopular; only when volume explodes do funds start to follow. The most critical point—having no obsession—is true skill. Be willing to hold cash when needed, buy the dip when appropriate, and keep a good mindset to be a winner.
Opportunities in the crypto space are everywhere every day. The problem is most people act too quickly or fail to see the bigger picture. Instead of blindly jumping in, it’s better to calm down and learn these key rules.

The sharp drop followed by a slow rise is truly the ultimate move. Those who keep getting chopped are just unable to understand this strategy.

Rapid rises and slow declines—I've seen through that trick long ago. The problem is, I just get itchy hands.
The biggest lesson in the past three years is—don't follow emotions.
Volume can be deceptive, but holding time won't be.
It's easy to say these things, but when it comes to dumping, everyone is just a leek.
No obsession? I think it's just lack of funds.
On-chain data can't be fooled; human psychology is the biggest variable.
Another summary post—why not talk about the pits we've stepped into?

Trading volume is indeed the truth, but the key is whether there are permission control vulnerabilities—how many main force accumulation signals were ultimately exploited by contract loopholes to wipe out retail investors. Mindset is important, but code security is even more crucial.

That's quite right, but actually executing it is really damn difficult.

That's right, mindset is really the most difficult part.
I truly empathize with the rapid decline and slow recovery at the end, having been cut many times.
Volume is the key, I agree with that.
