#数字资产市场动态 has been trading for 8 years, now 37 years old, with assets in the eight figures. When staying in hotels on business trips, I never look at the prices—this is not showing off, just the reality. Among friends of the same age, those working in factories or doing e-commerce are not living as comfortably.

To be honest, relying on a fixed salary to turn things around is too difficult. I realized this about ten years ago, so I decided to go all-in on trading. Having stepped on enough pits, I can now speak about it confidently.

Having seen enough of the market—experienced both bull and bear markets, and gotten used to wild surges and crashes. Surviving until now is not because of extraordinary skills, but because I know when to hide and when to attack. These few principles have saved me countless times.

For example, avoid chasing rapid rises and slow declines. That’s usually the market manipulators accumulating positions and setting traps for you. Conversely, be cautious of the opposite scenario—after a sharp drop, a feeble rebound, don’t try to catch the bottom; nine times out of ten, it’s the manipulators offloading at high levels, pretending to rebound to trap new buyers.

Another common mistake: panicking and selling when you see a sudden large volume at the top. It’s not necessarily the top; sometimes, the market makers are just pushing the last wave before leaving. But if the price rises to a high level with no volume, that’s a real signal—run, or you’ll be the last bagholder.

At the bottom, watch for volume spikes—many are just traps to lure more buyers. The real entry point is when the volume has been sustained for several days and the price remains stable without falling further. That’s the signal to enter.

Ultimately, trading cryptocurrencies is about trading emotions. The market’s movement depends on sentiment, which is reflected in trading volume. When you feel excited and want to jump in, the market makers are probably already running; when you’re terrified and want to escape, they’ve likely already bought up their positions.

In the crypto world, the same types of people keep coming back. Liquidation isn’t due to a lack of talent, but inability to control their hands. Those fantasizing about quick riches are all subdued by the market’s discipline.

I don’t think I’m particularly amazing, but I keep adjusting my strategies and learning. The money I make isn’t luck; it’s the result of repeated reviews, stepping into pits, and correcting mistakes. Relying on guesses, others’ signals, or luck alone won’t keep you alive in this market for half a year.

Now I rely on data-driven systems to run the market, with a set of strategic models—following the rhythm to trade waves. To be honest, market opportunities are not lacking; what’s missing is truly understanding those opportunities.

If you want to earn more, you need to follow the right mindset and stop being a leek (retail investor). These days, those still trading based on feelings are having a tough time.

The market is always there, but your capital and opportunities might only come a few times. Using systematic trading thinking is the way to find rhythm amid market fluctuations.
