Last night's market movement was a nightmare for many. In less than ten minutes, over 10 billion in liquidation across the entire network, countless accounts wiped clean overnight. But my situation was a bit different — not only did I not lose, but I also capitalized on the panic to achieve an eightfold increase in a single day. Today, I want to share how I think and operate during such extreme volatility.

**Sensed Something Was Off Early**

Actually, during the National Day holiday, I already noticed problems in the market. At that time, Bitcoin was oscillating around $120,000, and various altcoins started to surge mindlessly. Projects that usually go unnoticed also went crazy. At first glance, it seemed lively, but in reality, this was a typical topping pattern — I’ve seen it too many times.

On the evening of October 7th, I cleared all my spot positions. This decision drew a lot of skepticism at the time; some privately asked if I was being too cautious. But hindsight proved that staying clear-headed during the market’s craziest moments is the way to survive. Those shouting "perpetual bull market" are now silent.

**A Drop Is Actually an Opportunity to Enter**

Woken up at 5 a.m. by a phone alert, I checked the market — Bitcoin suddenly plunged to around $87,000, and panic set in. But I became excited instead. Extreme volatility is precisely the best trading window for me.

After opening the futures trading interface, the key is not to follow the crowd into short positions but to calmly observe the performance at key support levels. I noticed that the $88,000 level had been tested repeatedly before, indicating a relatively strong support. So I decisively entered the market — and as expected, the result was as predicted.
