Eight years of resistance, my account is only left with USDT to accompany me in crying

"Bro, are you staring at the market again in the middle of the night?" At one a.m., my childhood friend spoke with a yawn in the voice message.

I replied, "Shh, BTC just spiked to 92k, and my buy order at 91.8k got filled."

The screen lit up, +7%, instantly covering last night's losses.

Don't be jealous, this "survival guide for night owls" was earned through twelve liquidations over eight years, and today I'm giving it to you for free.

① First, watch the boss's expression.

In this round of the bull market in 2025, BTC accounts for 62% of the market cap, when it trembles, the whole network bleeds.

Last Wednesday, it dropped 4% in one hour, and SOL directly followed with a 9% drop, so I only held BTC + ETH in my main portfolio, while altcoins were treated like lottery tickets.

② Treat the globe as a candlestick chart.

Don't panic when Asia sells off in the afternoon; New York's opening often brings sudden drops.

On Monday, December 9, ETH dropped 5% during the day, but at 9 p.m. Eastern time, a bullish engulfing candle appeared, reversing with a 6.3% gain; I had set my bottom-fishing order in advance and slept well.

③ 12 a.m. to 1 a.m. is the "ghost gate pin".

Liquidity dropped to an average of 40% daily; last night it was a V-shaped spike from 94k to 91k. Before bed, I reduced my leverage from 3x to 1x and widened my stop-loss by 200 points, and I wasn't liquidated awake.

④ Look at sentiment between 6 a.m. to 8 a.m.

If it closes negative at 6 a.m. for two consecutive days, the rebound probability is 68%; if it rallies in the early morning and again in the morning, there’s a 90% chance of a trap.

Last Thursday, I avoided the -18% drop of PEPE by relying on this rule.

⑤ Friday ≠ black day, but don’t be reckless.

With non-farm payrolls and ETF approvals happening simultaneously, the volatility doubles.

Last Friday, BTC had an intraday volatility of 8.4%; I turned off high-leverage contracts and only focused on spot trading, which instead yielded 4%.

⑥ Even dead coins can breathe.

As long as the 24h trading volume >1M USDT, a 30% drop typically recovers an average of 15% within three days.

The LDO I bought in November rebounded 22% in three days, thanks to the “volume” being there.

Remember: spot trading is like old wine, the more you stockpile, the better it gets; contracts are like instant noodles, they spoil in three minutes.

Don’t be scared by the “wealth screenshots” in the group, maintain your own rhythm, and turn every sleepless night into experience; the market will eventually pay you by the hour.
