I ran into an old acquaintance not long ago. A few years ago, he entered the market with several hundred thousand, and now his account has surged to nearly tens of millions.

At that time, I was stuck in a quagmire, deeply in debt, and I was almost numb.

While chatting with him, he suddenly said something that hit me like a bucket of cold water: "Most people in this circle are led by their emotions; if you can stay steady, this market will be your ATM."

At that moment, I was completely stunned. Yes, I have been competing with the market all along, but I never thought to get myself sorted first.

The key is not to chase trends or seize rebounds, but to first calm your restless heart.

He explained to me a few methods he figured out himself, and as soon as I finished listening, I immediately started trying them out. You might think these sound a bit abstract, but to really get it right, you have to put in some effort.

**Rising fast, falling slow? Don't panic, someone is quietly accumulating.**
At this time, the market often hasn't peaked yet. After slowly bottoming out, the rebound can surprise you. Stay calm and don't let the gradual decline scare you away.

**Falling sharply, rising slowly? Be careful, someone might be dumping goods.**
Don't think this is a bottom-fishing opportunity; it could very likely be someone distributing at a high position, and if you rush in, you'll become a bag holder.

**High volume at a high position is not necessarily a bad thing.**
Sometimes a surge in volume is a signal for the main force to continue pushing the market, but if the volume does not follow up later, withdraw quickly and don't wait to get stuck.

**Don't get too excited about low-volume increases.**
Seeing some movement at the bottom and thinking it’s going to reverse? Hold on, there needs to be several days of volume support to confirm it’s not a false move. Don’t act impulsively, take a closer look.

**What is traded in this circle is never technology, but people's hearts.**
Trading volume is a barometer of market sentiment. Learning to observe volume and read emotions is essential to position oneself correctly when a major market trend arises.

**The harshest one: Don't be attached, don't be greedy, and don't be afraid.**
Greed makes you chase high prices and stand guard, while fear makes you cut losses and leave the market. These two are your biggest enemies. Only those who can stay in cash and wait for opportunities deserve the real market trends.

To put it simply, the biggest opponent in the crypto space is not the manipulators, not the market, but yourself.

If you can't control your hands and heart, it won't matter to you even if a bull market comes.

The ones who truly make money are always those who can control themselves.

I increasingly feel that the challenges in this circle are indeed great, but there are also real opportunities. As long as you can maintain your mindset, you will always be able to find your own wave of market.
