#数字资产市场动态 has been navigating the crypto market for over 8 years, starting to get involved in the crypto space at age 31. Now, with assets reaching eight figures, my daily routine includes watching charts, trading contracts, and occasionally deploying spot positions. To be honest, my quality of life has definitely improved—at least I no longer have to worry about money.

Over the years of trading, I’ve gained some insights into the market’s patterns, and I’d like to share them for your reference:

**Market Rhythm:** Bitcoin is usually the market’s barometer, and most other cryptocurrencies tend to follow its lead. Stronger fundamentals coins like Ethereum occasionally move independently, but altcoins generally remain under Bitcoin’s influence. Bitcoin and USDT tend to have an inverse relationship—USDT rising signals caution for Bitcoin’s potential decline; conversely, when Bitcoin rises, it’s a good time to deploy USDT.

**Timing Patterns:** Short-term price spikes often occur between 0-1 AM. Domestic traders can place low buy orders and high sell orders before sleep, with a chance to execute trades passively. The window from 6-8 AM is critical for observing the day’s trend—if prices have been falling from 0-6 AM, continuing downward during this period is likely a good opportunity to add positions; if prices keep rising, it might be time to consider selling.

Around 5 PM, attention is needed as US traders wake up and their actions often cause volatility. As for the so-called "Black Friday," my experience is that its accuracy is average; news sentiment is more important.

**Position Management:** As long as a coin has sufficient trading volume, a dip shouldn’t cause too much panic. Patience can pay off—short-term, 3-4 days; long-term, about a month—most positions can recover. If you have spare funds, gradually add to your positions to lower your average cost, which speeds up the breakeven point. Compared to trading contracts, holding spot and reducing trading frequency generally yields more stable returns—key is whether you can endure the wait.
