#数字资产市场动态 From liquidation to recovery, how many psychological adjustments are needed?

A friend of mine lost everything trading crypto three years ago and also lost his girlfriend. At that time, he only had 20,000 USDT left, and he was truly desperate. I accompanied him through each trading cycle, no secret tricks, just repeatedly watching the charts and reviewing the trades. In the end, he turned that 20,000 into 450,000. During the process, he didn’t catch any crazy bull runs nor rely on insider information; it was all about this method of gradual accumulation.

Over more than 1,000 days and nights, he did one thing—treat trading as a level-up game. No rush, no impatience, just honing skills. Later, he summarized six points that I believe can really save people:

**Rapid rise, slow fall? That’s the market absorbing liquidity.** Quick surges followed by slow declines are usually shakeout moves; don’t be scared into selling. What does a real top look like? Volume spikes upward, then a waterfall decline—that’s waiting for the next sucker to buy in.

**Conversely, fast fall and slow rise is dangerous.** That’s a sign of distribution. Don’t try to catch the bottom after a flash crash; it might just be the last knife. Many wait until they think “it’s fallen enough” before entering, but that mindset is the easiest to get trapped by.

**Volume at the top isn’t necessarily the end; lack of volume is more terrifying.** Continued high volume at a high level might still push for new highs, but if trading volume shrinks and becomes quiet, that’s a real prelude to collapse.

**At the bottom, don’t rush in just because of volume; look for persistence.** A single large transaction is like bait; the real accumulation opportunity comes after a few days of consolidation, with volume steadily increasing—that’s when funds are truly flowing in.

**Basically, crypto trading is about manipulating people’s emotions.** People’s greed and fear are fully reflected in the volume beneath the candlesticks. Candlesticks are just the result; volume is the thermometer of sentiment. Small volume means no one’s playing; sudden volume spikes mean real money is pouring in.

**The last point—“nothingness” is the ultimate skill.** Don’t be obsessed; if it’s time to be out, be out; if it’s time to buy the dip, go ahead. No rush, no panic. This isn’t about lying flat; it’s about cultivating the right mindset.

Market opportunities are never lacking; what’s missing are those who can control their hands and see the situation clearly. I only share genuine experiences that can help you survive longer—no insider info, no bragging, no pie-in-the-sky promises.
