#数字货币市场洞察 To be honest, short-term trading in cryptocurrency really doesn’t need to be that complicated. After struggling and learning for so long, I’ve summarized a few especially practical insights to share with everyone.

Let’s start with sideways markets. This is the stage where most people make mistakes—when the price is moving sideways at a high level, don’t assume it’s a signal to jump in; the main players are likely preparing for their next move. As long as key support holds, there’s still potential for the next move. On the flip side, when the price is moving sideways at a low level, don’t rush to bottom fish because new lows often come after. The wisest move during a sideways market is to do nothing—wait for the price to break above the range or fall below it, and only enter once the direction is clear. That way, your odds of success are much higher.

As for building positions, I strongly recommend buying in batches. Suppose you plan to invest in 1000 coins—you can start by buying 200 at a relatively high level as a test. If the price drops 5%, add another 300; if it keeps dropping, buy the remaining 500. This method of buying more as the price falls can effectively lower your average cost and prevent you from getting stuck if you go all-in at once and the market pulls back.

There are two rhythms regarding price swings worth noting. First, sharp drops are often followed by quick rebounds, while slow, steady declines tend to have weaker rebounds—understanding this rhythm helps you know when to buy the dip and when to wait. Second, after a series of big rises or falls, the market always enters a consolidation phase; this is where people get trapped most easily. It’s safer to wait until the sideways phase ends and a clear directional signal appears before acting.

Finally, let’s talk about mindset. Don’t panic sell when you see red candles, or chase after green ones—that’s classic emotional trading. As long as the overall trend isn’t broken, red candles are actually opportunities to buy at lower prices; when green candles appear, you should consider taking profits. Keep an eye on support and resistance levels, and think contrarily to avoid big traps.

Capital allocation, timing, and rhythm control—if you take time to study these details and keep adjusting in actual trading, you’ll find a trading style that suits you.
