Making money in the cryptocurrency market is never about luck, but about the long-term refinement of skills and mindset. After years of practical experience, I've only remembered a few key principles:
If it rises quickly and falls slowly, don't panic; it's likely a shakeout. A true top often follows a frenzied rise with a waterfall-like drop.
If it falls sharply and rises slowly, don't rush to buy the dip; it might be a bull trap.
Lack of volume at high levels is truly dangerous; sustained volume at low levels often indicates greater value.
Often, volume is more important than candlestick patterns; whether funds enter the market determines whether a trend can go far.
True mastery is achieving "three no's": no attachment, no greed, and no panic. A stable mindset naturally leads to improved skills.
The market itself is neither right nor wrong; mistakes are often made in judgment. True masters don't predict the future, but rather survive and thrive in the market.
