The old Zhang I know stayed up until three in the morning the night before a certain 'king-level project' was launched last year, only to see the price cut in half within five minutes of opening, directly losing half a year's salary. With red eyes, he said, 'Everyone clearly said it would rise...' Such stories can replay in the cryptocurrency circle in just three days.
What we talked about today is not some 'wealth code', but how to survive. After all, in a market where even trading volume can be manipulated, your only advantage might be being half a beat slower than others.
1. The market specializes in treating all kinds of 'dissatisfaction'.
Your intuition may be the tool of the market makers.
Why does it rebound as soon as you stop loss? Why does it skyrocket as soon as you take profit? Because big data has long figured out the stop-loss points of retail investors. For example, some platforms may deliberately crash to force leveraged players to liquidate. Don't overestimate your judgment; those screenshots of 'perfect bottom fishing' might just be survivor bias.
All good news is just to find someone to take over.
From project upgrades to celebrity endorsements, news is always half a beat behind the market. I've seen the most ironic thing: a certain exchange suddenly announces the listing of a hot coin, and the price instantly spikes by 30%, only to drop back to the original point two hours later. Those who can really make money have already positioned themselves before the news spreads.
Second, emotions are the most expensive traps.
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is a harvesting machine.
When the community starts spamming 'once in a century' and 'regret missing out for ten years', it's time to be cautious. Veteran investors know: when the group is buzzing, it's time to reduce positions. Last year, a certain animal coin exploded in popularity, and a friend of mine chased the high and got stuck at the peak, still saying 'I'll hold on until I break even.'
Operating in a state of exhaustion ≈ giving away money.
After staying up late to watch the market, a person's judgment is worse than flipping a coin. Once, I mistakenly opened the wrong leverage at 3 AM and lost a month's earnings in ten minutes. Now there's a strict rule: as soon as I feel dazed, I immediately close the software and go to sleep.
Third, how can ordinary people live longer?
Treating 'inactivity' as a strategy.
Not every hot spot needs to be chased. My own habit: if I can't clearly explain why I'm buying this coin, I'd rather miss out. For example, those who hold Bitcoin through dollar-cost averaging for five years are likely to outperform those who frequently switch positions.
Position control is more important than timing.
Total funds should not exceed 10% for high-risk speculation.
Never use leverage (I've had enough painful lessons).
Keep good cash flow outside to prevent forced liquidation.
Learn to 'strike back later'.
There are always signs before the big players pump: for instance, sudden volume spikes or unusually large orders on exchanges. Act only after the first wave of impulsive trading is exhausted; although you might earn a little less, you can avoid most traps.
Finally, a couple of words.
There is no 'sure-win' method in the crypto world, but there is wisdom in minimizing losses. The most ironic aspect of this market: those who want to get rich quickly die the fastest, while those who survive are studying how to control risk.
Remember: you are not playing against the market; you are contending with human nature. Those who have survived three rounds of bull and bear markets rely not on luck, but on discipline.
