The recent market trends are not profitable, and it's not because you're not capable, but rather that the market structure has really changed?
Many newcomers share the same feeling:
The index is rising, narratives are endless, but you are either being shaken out by the market or losing more and more, or even inadvertently becoming a tool for others to earn transaction fees.
Sister Min wants to clarify several key understandings of this round of market trends to help you avoid these traps.
① Don't live in the illusion of the last bull market.
The last bull market may have been a one-sided rise, where some seized the opportunity, but this round is different. The characteristics of the market are high-frequency fluctuations and repeated shakeouts. Although there is a trend, it is not favorable.
The first lesson for newcomers is not to make money, but to learn not to lose.
Many newcomers who make money for the first time mistakenly believe this is due to their ability, but that’s not the case.
Don’t be fully invested, don’t go all in, don’t use high leverage, and don’t operate when emotions are running high.
Those who can control drawdowns are the ones who can talk about profits.
If you don’t understand a coin, don’t touch it. If you are unclear on why a coin will rise, who is buying it, and what its logic is, then the money you invest is essentially a donation.
The less you understand, the closer you should stick to mainstream coins.
Don’t chase hot trends. This round of market rotation is extremely fast. Today it’s AI, tomorrow it’s SOL, the day after it changes to RWA, L2.
Many times, when you see the entire network discussing a certain hot topic, it might be the time when the main players are preparing to exit.
For newcomers, the most stable approach is:
Use mainstream coins as the core holding, and altcoins as small supplementary positions, unless you are very familiar with a particular sector.
To survive, you must learn to look overseas.
An important change is that domestic news is often lagging.
The real pace is overseas, with policies, institutional actions, ETF flows, and regulatory changes happening first in Europe and the United States.
Many people, although not foolish, are always half a step behind because the information they see has already been filtered and translated into second-hand content.
For example, during that Ethereum upgrade, the news of the Prague upgrade test passing was immediately released by overseas developers on Discord, and ETH surged instantly.
By the time the news emerged domestically, it was already several hours late, and the first wave of the market had long passed.
This round of market competition is not about emotions and courage, but about understanding, rhythm, and survival ability.
Only those who can survive until the end are qualified to talk about the benefits of a bull market.
