Don't remind me again today

#特朗普数字资产政策新方向 The most absurd thing in life? Eight years of marriage, and my best friend became the mistress. That night, I cried until dawn. The next day, after signing the divorce papers and with less than six figures of savings in my pocket, I swore I would turn things around on my own.



The twist came out of nowhere. An old friend brought me into crypto and handed me six key lessons, saying they were paid for with real money and hard experience. Eight years later, my account grew from five figures to eight. Today, I’m breaking down these lessons for you—take them to heart.

**Lesson 1: Watch the volume, not the flashy candlesticks**
If the price pumps hard but drops slowly, it’s likely the big players are accumulating. The scariest thing is a violent pump followed by a sudden dump—that’s real harvesting, and if you’re a second too slow, you’re the sucker.

**Lesson 2: Flash crashes are a dance on a knife’s edge**
Sharp drops with weak rebounds usually mean distribution. Don’t think the bounce after a flash crash is a bottom—it's a trap, waiting for you to jump in.

**Lesson 3: Low volume at the top is scarier than high volume**
High volume at the top doesn’t always mean a crash, but if the price is ranging at the top with declining volume? That’s the deadly calm before the storm—those who know, know.

**Lesson 4: Volume at the bottom needs to be confirmed repeatedly**
A single spike in volume doesn’t count. You need several rounds of choppy low volume, then another surge—that’s the real accumulation signal. Don’t rush to buy the dip.

**Lesson 5: Volume is the market’s ECG**
Low volume = no interest, high volume = funds flooding in. Candlesticks show the result; volume shows the reason. Understand the volume, and you’ll understand what the market is thinking.

**Lesson 6: An unbreakable mindset is the ultimate weapon**
Be willing to stay out of the market, don’t get attached to trades; don’t chase highs, don’t catch falling knives; dare to act during panic. This isn’t being passive—it’s the mindset of a top trader.

There are always opportunities in crypto. What people lack isn’t market moves, but the right mindset and execution. Most people aren’t slow—they’re just stumbling in the dark. I’ve stepped on enough landmines, and now I’m willing to hold up the light.

The market is already brewing—don’t wander in the dark alone.

You really have to experience setbacks to understand this volume theory, but very few people can actually execute it. --- The part about low volume at the top really hit home. Last time, I couldn’t resist and bought in, got slapped in the face immediately. --- The divorce comeback part is a bit harsh, but the crypto space really is the fastest track to a turnaround. --- Having the courage to stay in cash is the hardest part; mentality truly is the ceiling. --- The sixth point is the real truth—99% of people fail because of their mindset.

Volume really is the truth here. I used to stare at candlestick charts until my eyes hurt, but later I realized that a drop in volume is actually the scariest signal. But turning five figures into eight figures in eight years—this is just a story to listen to, don’t take it too seriously. What you said about mindset is absolutely right. Having the courage to go all cash is really hard; most people can't do it. The six sentences basically mean: Don't be greedy, don't chase, don't rush, right? Volume doesn't lie; that's what I learned after losing money. Wait, there's nothing about Trump's policies in here. Was that just clickbait in the title? Watching volume instead of candlesticks—sounds easy, but it's hard to do. I still end up chasing the highs from time to time. Honestly, getting your mindset right is the hardest part—way harder than learning any technical skills.

The explanation about trading volume is spot on. I flipped over at the high point when the volume shrank. --- The part about divorce is so true, but why am I not as lucky when it comes to making a comeback in crypto? --- The sixth point really hit me. Mindset really can kill you. --- Not chasing highs or catching falling knives—sounds easy, but doing it is a killer. --- If understanding volume means understanding the market, why do I still not get it? --- People who dare to go all cash aren’t just mentally strong, their accounts are strong too. --- This theory sounds right, but when it comes to real trading, I forget it all.

Volume has indeed been overlooked. Most people are still staring at candlestick charts, not realizing that the main players have already given themselves away through the volume. Speaking of turning things around in eight years from five figures to eight figures, was divorce actually the turning point? The crypto world is just that crazy—you can earn back what you lost from the market. The judgment about shrinking volume at the top is spot on. It’s like the market is saying, “No one wants me anymore.” That rebound was truly a death trap. The mindset part is absolutely right. Most people die in panic and never get the chance to strike back when the real panic hits. Buying after a flash crash is basically giving your money away. I’ve seen too many people think they’re picking up bargains, only to become someone else’s stepping stone. Volume is the real truth; candlestick charts are just deceptive stories. Very few people in the market truly understand this. Confirming sustained volume at the bottom really tests your patience. Many people jump in at the first spike in volume, only to get schooled over and over again. The six principles seem simple, but executing them is even harder than making money.

Volume truly reveals the truth; all those fancy candlestick tricks are really deceptive. I’ve been burned by them before. Putting everything else aside, mindset is really the ceiling here. So many people lose their composure when the market moves. Flash crashes and rebounds are just traps, yet every time there are people who insist on jumping in. Sigh. That feeling of low volume at the top is definitely weird, like the oppressive feeling before a storm. I agree with the point about continuous volume confirmation. Only pure beginners try to catch the bottom the moment there’s a spike in volume. Looking at that story about turning things around after divorce—honestly, it hits home for people in the crypto space.

Volume really is the real deal. I used to just look at candlesticks and got wrecked quite a few times... Damn, this story starts off wild. The part about the best friend cheating was a total gut punch. That point about low volume at the top really hit home for me. Last time, I got stuck in that "dead silence"... Mindset is easy to talk about but so hard to master. I still tend to chase tops. Turning eight years into an eight-figure portfolio is insane. How many pitfalls did it take to figure that out? I've noted the part about continuous confirmation with volume at the bottom. Won't go all in recklessly next time. Saying volume is like an ECG is spot on. It just clicked for me. Honestly, the most painful truth is the "invincible mindset" part. That's where most people lose. Bouncing back after divorce thanks to crypto—what a satisfying plot! Volume really is more honest than all those fancy candlesticks. Should've trusted it earlier.

On the topic of trading volume, it's true—after watching K-lines for so many years, it all comes back to transaction volume. To cut the crap, just look directly at the flow of money on the order book; it's more honest than any technical indicator. --- I've been burned by the flash crash rebound setup. I thought it was a bottom-fishing opportunity, but got dumped on twice before realizing the truth. Now I'd rather miss out than fall for this kind of trap. --- What you said about mindset is spot-on. People who can stay in cash have already won most of the battle. Most people just can't sit still watching the market, and in a moment of impulse, they go all-in. --- That point about confirming volume at the bottom is crucial. Too many people jump in after a single spike in volume and end up being the bag holders. You have to look for consistency. --- That bit about turning your life around after a divorce really hits home. But in the crypto space, to go from five figures to eight figures, your mindset really does need to be top-tier. --- That shrinking volume at the top is truly a sign of an impending storm. I’ve seen it too many times—no warning, just a sideways low-volume move, and then one day it suddenly crashes.
