It took six years, starting with 100,000 yuan, and eventually my account grew with a few more zeros.

Along the way, I gradually understood a principle: the crypto world doesn't reward those who react quickly or are smart, but those who can control themselves and play by the rules.

Predicting the market? That's a false proposition. What truly needs to be learned is how to understand what the market is saying.

Here are six trading insights I’ve summarized to help avoid detours:

**1. Rapid upward movement combined with slow decline is usually a sign of the main players rotating. What is the real danger signal? A sharp rise followed by a waterfall crash.**

**2. Seeing a quick decline and wanting to buy the dip? Don’t rush. The true bottom takes time to form and confirm.**

**3. Large trading volume at high levels indicates disagreement between buyers and sellers. Conversely, a quiet, shrinking volume trend is more worth being cautious about.**

**4. When volume increases at the bottom, watch if it can sustain. "Stable prices with increasing volume" is a true signal of funds entering the market.**

**5. Volume performance is often more honest than candlestick charts. It can tell you whether funds are entering or fleeing.**

**6. Learning to hold an empty position is also a skill. Sitting and waiting during market chaos is the greatest respect you can give yourself.**

This market never demands that you are right every time. It only requires that you lose as little as possible when you make mistakes.

Stay steady, and by surviving until the next cycle begins, you’ve already outperformed most people.
