What is a trading system, anyway?
Every trader needs a trading system; without one, you'll get led around like a puppy. But with a system, you'll have a clearer view of what’s coming next.
There are plenty of theories out there, like Dow Theory and Wave Theory.
These theories are solid, but building a cohesive system is a whole different ballgame; it's slow and complicated.
You could say many folks spend their whole lives trying to figure it out without ever really grasping the essentials.

Recently, there's been talk about a clear regulatory bill coming out, and then BTC pumped hard.
It's laughable how some folks are just riding the news and trading on positive sentiment.
If you think trading requires you to keep an eye on the news and follow the bullish and bearish vibes,
then maybe trading isn’t for you.
You’ll just end up getting led around by the whales.
Those who were excited during the bull run, shouting about an eternal bull market, are just misguiding others.
For instance, one tweet from Trump can trigger a massive sell-off across the crypto space.
It's essential to clarify if there's any real cause-and-effect here; there clearly isn't any correlation.
It’s just people scrambling for reasons after a dip, force-fitting Trump’s tweet into the situation.
Now, looking at MicroStrategy selling BTC,
normally, such significant bearish news would cause BTC to tank.
But in reality, nothing happened; BTC keeps pushing upwards.

Market trends aren't predicted; they're walked out.
That's right, pros take it step by step, not making predictions. True experts can only determine if we're in a bull or bear market.
I know many seasoned traders, even those with over a decade in the game, can only tell you if it's currently a bull or bear market.
As for pinpointing exact price levels, that's tough to achieve.
For example, if BTC spikes to 60k, then 60k becomes the resistance point.
This isn't something predicted; it's something observed through our continuous technical analysis.
No one can predict how high BTC will soar, how much it will pull back, or by what percentage.
No one, absolutely no one can forecast that.
Remember, market trends are walked out; we all take it step by step. There's no one who can predict market movements—foreseeing a month ahead is impossible.
Those who try to predict the market are undoubtedly left battered and bruised.
Market trends are walked out step by step; we can only see how things are a week down the line, and even that judgment is quite vague. We might not even know what happens a week from now.
We can only roughly assess whether we're in a bull or bear market.

If the Chinese crypto scene is all about this kind of worthless and unnutritious chatter, I can only say, the Chinese crypto market is dead.
And if only this type of talk generates traction, I can only say the taste is really poor.

The crypto space is a highly cyclical and fast-moving industry.
It's strong in that it has a four-year cycle, and due to the lack of regulation, it attracts the most ruthless whales.
In this chaotic market, prices can skyrocket and plummet; a coin can lose up to ninety-five percent of its value.
The crypto scene is not short on folks hyping an eternal bull market; I’ve seen plenty of them, especially when BTC hit sixty grand, singing praises about a never-ending bull run.
Before you start trading any asset, you need to understand that there's no such thing as an eternal bull market, nothing that just keeps going up. BTC is like that, gold is like that, and US stocks are like that too.
There’s nothing that just keeps rising; everything goes up high and drops hard.
That's the cycle; what we need to do is sell at the highs and buy at the lows, plain and simple. There’s no faith involved—that's just the rhetoric used to fleece the newcomers.
The crypto cycle is quick, so while there are many who get rich fast, there are also many who go bankrupt. $BTC

A lot of folks are asking me if ZEC is worth jumping into. To sum it up in one sentence: it's a solid asset, but the price is just outrageous.
No matter how good an asset is, if it gets so pricey that it loses its value proposition, it becomes a risk in itself. Right now, the risk exposure of ZEC has grown so large that it's overshadowing its allure.
In trading, the goal is always to chase 'value for money'. Look at FIL; it's also in a top-tier essential sector (humans will always need storage), yet it's still sitting at the starting line with its main rally yet to kick off. Compared to chasing ZEC's 'high-price flag', positioning yourself with FIL, which offers incredible value and a solid foundation, clearly gives you a much bigger edge. There are plenty of good assets on the market; smart traders never get caught up in expensive nostalgia.
Of course, there are many similar assets out there; it just depends on whether you can seize the opportunity.

Finding essential coins isn't that tough.
ETH, BTC, ZEC, and FIL are all essential coins.
However, determining if an essential coin is worth buying and doing your due diligence can be quite challenging.
Before diving into an essential coin, you need to confirm if it's truly essential by asking yourself three questions:
1. Substitutability: If this coin disappeared today, would the ecosystem still function?
2. Holding motivation: Why are you buying it?
3. External connections: What real-world problem does it solve?
If you can answer these three questions well, then this coin is a quality essential coin. $BTC $ZEC

Killa threw in the towel.
He was一直 shorting before this.
His problem is that he's too young and too naive.
If you could just calculate the highs and lows with some math formulas, then mathematicians would be the richest.
Regarding the outlook, even the seasoned veterans in the crypto space (I mean those who have weathered three super bull markets and are still around) can only give a vague assessment.
For instance, whether we are in a bull market or bear market.
Bull market. $BTC

A lot of folks think the bull market is over, that liquidity is drying up, and some even believe the whales have dipped. This mindset is off base.
One of the major players, MicroStrategy, still has $26.4 billion, enough to scoop up 300,000 BTC.
According to MicroStrategy's game plan, they're planning to go all in.
And that doesn't even factor in ETFs, BlackRock, and other asset management giants.

A lot of folks naively think the World Cup will drain liquidity from the crypto market; that mindset is stuck back in the Stone Age of retail traders.
The current market is dominated by top-tier asset managers like BlackRock and MicroStrategy. BlackRock and MicroStrategy are the real big players.
Institutions don't pull cash to gamble on the games; that's the key difference between them and retail traders. Sovereign funds, pensions, and asset management firms allocate BTC based on asset diversification and strategic hedging—they're not pulling out funds just for the World Cup!
Anyone who thinks the World Cup will suck up liquidity is either foolish or malicious.
If the crypto space, after over a decade of development, can still be shaken by the World Cup, then it might be time to close shop.
