How much do you need to earn to truly seize the opportunity? Or is it that those numbers don't really matter?

In my seven years in the crypto world, I've seen miracles where 10,000 USDT turns into 3 million USDT, and I've also seen many people return to zero overnight driven by greed. No insider information, no catching the crazy bull run—what keeps you going is actually a set of seemingly clumsy but effective skills—2555 days, doing the same thing repeatedly.

Treat trading as a level-up game; each level must be approached steadily, honing your unique skills. Over the years, I've summarized a few rules. I can't say applying all of them will make you instantly rich, but at least they can help you avoid detours.

**Rising like lightning, falling like a turtle—whales silently eat behind the scenes**

That kind of rapid rise followed by a slow decline might look tempting to cut losses. Most of the time, it's just a shakeout, aiming to shake off those with weak psychological resilience. What does a real top look like? After a volume-driven surge, it drops freely, leaving the latecomers in tears.

**Fierce drops and slow rises—be careful, the whales might have already slipped away**

After a flash crash, there's a weak rebound. Don't think you've caught a bargain. This often signals the final harvest wave is coming. That mentality of "it can't fall much more" is actually the fastest way to accelerate your losses.

**Volume at the top indicates potential, silence at the top is bad news**

High volume at a peak might still have some room to run. But if volume dries up at the top? That's when you should start thinking about getting out of the battlefield.

**A single spike in volume at the bottom is a trap; sustained volume is the real signal**

A sudden surge in volume might just be a bait. What does real accumulation look like? First, some oscillation, then continuous inflows of volume—this indicates genuine funds are entering.

**Candlestick patterns are just history; volume reveals people's hearts**

The waveform has already formed and can't be changed. But trading volume reflects how many people are involved at the moment. Low volume means no one cares; high volume means funds are flowing in. This is where all opportunities hide.

**The highest realm is "no moves," provided your mindset is steel**

Don't cling to any particular trend. Rest when needed, enter when the time is right. Neither rushing nor being passive—just wait. Many think this is about lying flat, but in fact, this is the most difficult realm to master in trading.

Opportunities in the crypto world are never lacking; what’s missing are those who can control their hands and see through the situation. Don’t say you're slow—most of the time, you're just wandering blindly in the dark.

If you truly want to change, you must stop blindly following the trend and break the cycle of repeatedly buying in and losing money. Find the right direction, walk the right path, and only then can you have a chance to survive steadily in this market and finally make it out together.
