#数字资产市场动态 The pitfalls of the crypto market ultimately come down to self-inflicted wounds. To survive longer, you first need to stabilize your mindset.



My biggest realization over the years is: the fiercest enemy in the crypto world is not market volatility, but human desire and fear. During a bull market, greed runs rampant; during a bear market, fear causes people to cut positions immediately. The true picture of trading? Most people's losses are actually paying for their emotional impulsiveness.

From a novice to now, I rely on a set of repeatedly validated trading frameworks. They are not flashy, but practical:

**First Trick: Enter the Market Calmly**
Seeing the market surge and wanting to rush in? That’s a death sentence. True opportunities often appear during calm periods. Start with small positions to gauge the rhythm—much safer than going all-in at once.

**Second Trick: Be Patient During Sideways Trading**
The longer a low-level consolidation lasts, the more power it accumulates; conversely, if a high-level sideways move persists too long, it usually signals trouble. Be patient when at low levels; consider exiting at high levels. This is the basic rule for survival.

**Third Trick: Be Cautious of chasing highs, see opportunities in sharp declines**
Jumping in during a surge is probably the last to buy the dip. But during fierce drops, if the structure is sound and support levels hold, that’s where the real opportunity lies. The key is to see clearly before acting.

**Fourth Trick: Buy on red candles, sell on green candles**
This trick tests human nature the most. Most people operate in reverse—panic when they see green, get euphoric at red. Those who stick to this principle have already surpassed 90% of traders.

**Fifth Trick: The rhythm of early dips and midday rises**
Not foolproof, but when applied to short- and medium-term trading, it can save you many times.

Later, I realized that a trading master’s mark isn’t how frequently they trade, but having the courage to act when needed and patience to wait when required. Some can judge the trend just by looking at K-lines and volume—that’s intuition forged through market experience.

What is the most tragic phenomenon? Not daring to chase when the market rises, not daring to bottom fish during declines, reluctant to take profits, and unwilling to cut losses. As long as this psychological barrier isn’t broken, no matter how much you earn, you can’t hold onto it.

In simple terms: having a reliable methodology + strong execution is much better than blindly guessing. If you want to turn things around in the crypto market, you must thoroughly understand this logic.

That's right, but the execution part really stalls most people. If your mindset can't stabilize, all methodologies are useless. Seeing a drop makes you want to buy the dip, seeing a rise makes you want to chase; isn't that human nature? The strategy of early dip and midday rise is indeed very effective, much better than blindly guessing. The most painful part of cutting positions is that it rebounds right after, that feeling is truly incredible. Desire and fear are the real killers; market fluctuations are nothing. Frameworks are static, but people are dynamic; the key is discipline. When making profits, unwilling to sell; when losing, stubbornly holding on—this is the way to lose money. I've learned my lesson from chasing highs, a bloody lesson. Patience in buying at low points is truly more valuable than anything else. If these five tricks can really be executed, the probability of surpassing 90% of people is already high.

Really, most people fail because of their mindset, and that's true. However, I still think this framework sounds easy to do but is actually difficult to implement, especially the trick "buy on a downtrend and sell on an uptrend." I've tried it several times but couldn't stick with it. Mindset is something, indeed, more difficult to master than any technical analysis. Honestly, when Bitcoin drops, I still panic; I find it hard to cut losses when I should. It feels like over the years, I've been repeatedly paying tuition fees. The framework is good, but the key is whether you can really execute it. Most people are stuck at this point. When the market consolidates at low levels, it's indeed easier to accumulate, but I always can't wait and fear missing out. How to break through? Exactly, it's human nature. When seeing a green candle, I want to sell; when seeing a red candle, I want to go all-in. It's truly a mental demon. This is the real truth, much more reliable than what big V influencers call out. But knowing it and acting on it are two different things.

There's nothing wrong with that; it's really just a battle with oneself. I'm most afraid of those days when prices chase up and then sell off. I've tried the strategy of consistently buying during downtrends, and it really can save your life; it's a real test of mental resilience. This set of strategies sounds simple, but actually implementing them is very difficult. Most people still get stopped out and lose money. Mindset is truly the key; I've seen too many cases where a moment of impulsiveness leads to total loss. Buying at low points and selling at high points—simply put, these are the two words, but few people can actually do it. How to put it, many people know these principles, but very few can actually execute them.

That's right, mindset is truly the hardest hurdle. I've been trapped by my own greed several times. It seems not that complicated, but when it comes to actual execution... there are really few people who can stick to buying on dips and selling on rallies. Buy low at the bottom, sell high at the top. It sounds simple, but actually doing it can make you emo, especially when you see others making money. The key is not to let FOMO and panic control you, which is more difficult than any technical analysis. Most people lose money because they make decisions when their emotional value is at its highest. The methodology isn't the problem; the key is whether you can endure those sideways days.

well technically the real enemy isn't the market, it's your own brain being absolutely unhinged when green candles show up... pretty much nails it
