On a night with half a tank of cigarette butts, it sometimes just takes one correct market signal to get a flight ticket to Sanya.
A few days ago at two in the morning, my phone screen suddenly lit up; it was a photo sent by a fan, Old Yang - half a tank of cigarette butts piled in the ashtray, with the caption: "Brother Yang, 30,000 is gone, I really don't want to go to this class." I could feel the anxiety and despair on the other end of the screen. After eight years in the crypto market, I've seen too many cases of 'the harder you work, the more you lose.'
But just today at noon, Old Yang sent a screenshot of the round-trip ticket to Sanya and the transfer record: "Brother Yang! Thanks to you dragging me along, not only did I break even but also made a profit of 60,000, I took my annual leave early!" This reversal is not luck, but understanding the true signals of the market.
01 Understand the main force's accumulation and plant the seeds for profit.
Lao Yang lost 30,000 before, which is a typical retail investor's problem: blindly chasing highs and lows based on community 'insider information.' He was almost ready to cut losses and leave the market, but I spotted a key signal while monitoring.
A certain emerging public chain token (X coin) has seen its trading volume suddenly triple, yet its price fluctuates narrowly around $0.025, with all small red and green lines on the K-line chart, resembling an 'electrocardiogram.'
This 'volume increases while price stabilizes' is a very typical signal of main force accumulation. Especially when the price continues to fluctuate at a low level, and trading volume clearly increases without a significant price drop, it indicates that funds are quietly taking over.
I immediately instructed Lao Yang to split the remaining funds into three batches to build positions around $0.025, with leverage controlled within 2 times. I always believe that the crypto market is not a casino but an information war; understanding the relationship between volume and price is more effective than listening to any news.
During the main force's accumulation phase, the most common tactic is 'time to exchange chips'—letting the price fluctuate within a range to wear down retail investors' patience. Just as Lao Yang witnessed, X coin indeed began to rise slowly in the following days.
02 Avoid the pitfalls of market manipulation; preserving profits is key.
Just as X coin rose by about 30%, Lao Yang couldn't sit still: 'It's rising too slowly! I see that mainstream coin M has dropped quite a bit; I want to cut losses and short it!'
This is the second trap that retail investors easily fall into—chasing what seems to be an opportunity. I immediately stopped him and told him a key method to identify market-manipulated stocks: check the concentration of chips.
I checked the on-chain data of coin M and found that the top 5 addresses controlled over 70% of the chips, which is a clear characteristic of high concentration. Once you get into this kind of coin, it’s like entering the 'fishing rod trend' set by the market makers—appearing to rise steadily, but in reality, it could plummet at any time.
The market is always full of temptation, but true profits come from restraint. I had Lao Yang hold onto X coin because slowly rising coins are healthier; rapid rises and falls are mostly traps.
As expected, just this morning, X coin surged directly to $0.058, rising over 120% from the entry price. With reasonable leverage use, Lao Yang not only recovered a loss of 30,000 but also earned an additional profit of over 60,000.
03 Two core skills to help you survive in the market.
From my years of experience, to achieve stable profits in the crypto market, you must master two core skills:
1. Identify real volume and price signals.
Volume increases while price stabilizes is a clear signal of main force accumulation: When the price continues to fluctuate at a low level, and the trading volume obviously increases without a significant price drop, it is a clear signal of the main force building positions.
The OBV indicator verifies the trend: I will pay attention to the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator. If the price makes a new low while OBV does not, forming a bullish divergence, it is a reliable buy signal.
Beware of unvolume-driven rises: Especially when the trading volume suddenly shrinks at high prices, it indicates insufficient buying power, and the probability of a pullback is very high.
2. Avoid coins with high concentration control.
Check the concentration of chips: Look at the on-chain data to see the holding ratio of the top 10 addresses; excessive concentration is often a dangerous signal.
Beware of 'fishing rod' trends: After a steady rise, a sudden volume drop is a typical selling tactic.
Avoid news-driven speculation: Market makers often use positive news in conjunction with selling, especially for coins that spike in a short time.
Lao Yang's success is not an exception but a necessary result of applying the right methods. His previous losses were due to blindly following trends, while profits came from understanding market signals and avoiding common traps.
In the evening, Lao Yang sent a voice message from the airport: 'Brother Yang, this is the first time I’m going on vacation with profits; it feels so good!' I smiled and replied, 'Remember this feeling and the rhythm of this time. In this market, following the right signals is much more important than following the crowd.'
Market opportunities are never lacking; what’s lacking are those who can understand the market. Every market fluctuation is a new opportunity, and opportunities always favor those who can read signals and control emotions.
