Traders who have been in the crypto space know that technical analysis is indeed useful — but it’s only a necessary condition for survival, not a sufficient condition for consistent profits.

So what is the core of stable profitability? Two points: first, having the courage to heavily allocate at critical moments when the market starts to move; second, being able to control impulses when facing market traps like false breakouts and fakeouts.

Ironically, this is exactly where most traders tend to stumble. They lack decisive judgment at key moments and also lack rationality when it’s time to cut losses or take profits. The end result is usually one of two outcomes: either chasing highs and selling lows, losing all their capital; or losing confidence after repeated setbacks and quitting altogether.

I used to be in the same predicament. Back then, I spent all day studying candlestick patterns, mechanically applying various trading strategies, following market hot spots, blindly copying big V influencers’ operations. Instead of gains, my account kept shrinking day by day. The repeated blows really made me want to give up.

The turning point came when I unexpectedly met a trader who could accurately grasp the market rhythm. A few of his pointers suddenly enlightened me. I began to abandon those complicated techniques and focus on rhythm trading — doing the right thing at the right time.

This shift in mindset brought quite intuitive results: since then, my account has achieved a stable daily profit of over 3000U. It also inspired more than a dozen traders around me to deeply practice this approach, many of whom successfully doubled their assets, with some even approaching financial freedom.

The difference lies in knowing when to act and when to hold back. This is not a technical issue, but a cognitive one.
