Recently, I've seen many people rushing to ZEC hoping to turn their fortunes around. To be honest, this market is really not based on luck. In the crypto world, after playing for a while, I've found that those who can survive all have a few common traits.

First, let's talk about the most critical point - understanding BTC. This thing is like the market's weather vane; wherever BTC goes, other coins basically follow. If you can't even grasp the general direction, no matter how fancy your ZEC operations are, they are pointless.

There is a particularly magical time period: from 12 AM to 1 AM. I don't know why, but during this hour, orders often deviate from normal prices. I have now gotten used to placing a few low orders before going to sleep, and sometimes I can find bargains when I wake up in the morning.

Keep an eye on the trend of USDT as well. You will notice a pattern: when USDT suddenly surges, it indicates that someone is frantically exchanging stablecoins to escape; while when BTC surges, it is often the time of highest excitement. When the two directions are opposite, it’s time to be alert.

Don't just focus on the K-line chart; macro news is more important. Any policy adjustment by the Federal Reserve can shake the entire crypto world. Sometimes you lose money not because of poor skills, but because you haven't kept up with the news.

The two hours from 6 to 8 in the morning can basically determine the trend for the entire day. If it dropped the night before and continues to drop in the morning, then there is a high probability of a rebound during the day; however, if it rose during the night session and continues to surge in the morning, it is highly likely to reach a peak, and you should definitely avoid jumping in to buy.

Friday is particularly tricky. The main players love to stir things up on Fridays, with wash trading, inducing shorts, and liquidations all concentrated on this day. If you can manage to refrain from making impulsive moves on a Friday, you are already better than most people.

Trading volume is the real deal. Those coins with potential can drop temporarily, but as long as the trading volume is there, there's still hope. I won't touch coins with no volume, no matter how much they rise.

Finally, let me mention the hardest thing to do: to do less. The truly profitable people are not those who stare at the market every day, but those who can resist the urge to act and wait for the real opportunity to strike. Staying in cash and waiting is actually the biggest advantage.

Liquidation is not terrifying; what is terrifying is losing your mindset and recklessly throwing money after the liquidation. When you can calmly see your weaknesses and understand the market's rhythm, you are not far from turning the tide.
