#密码资产动态追踪 I still remember the day Old Yang rushed in—his phone screen pressed right in front of my eyes, showing 20,000 USDT in his account. His eyes lit up, "If I don’t make a profit this time, I’ll never stop!" pounding his chest, his voice trembling.
Two months later? Two wrong calls, two full positions. He sat on the sofa, staring blankly at his zeroed-out account. "All gone," his voice hoarse beyond recognition. After that, I never saw him again, not a single message for three whole years.
When we met again, he leaned back in his chair, completely relaxed. He handed over his phone—seven-figure account. "Now, a single day’s fluctuation is equivalent to what I used to see in a year," he smiled, "but I can sleep peacefully now."
Honestly, who hasn’t gone through this? I’ve experienced margin calls, shady platforms, chain losses—the hardest time, only 3,892 yuan left in the account, couldn’t even cover rent. The only reason I turned things around was because of a few lessons learned through real money.
**Rapid rises and slow declines mostly deceive people** Rising like lightning, falling like snails—this is the main force building positions, not real market trends. The true top is always accompanied by a volume spike and a long bearish candle.
**The rebound after a crash is poison** You think you’re picking up bargains, but actually it’s the main force laying a "hope trap" before dumping. Reach out, and you’re caught.
**High volume at high levels is a signal; no volume at high levels is a dead end** As long as funds are still betting, there’s trading volume. No volume? The scythe has already swung, waiting for you to take the bait.
**A single day of volume at the bottom doesn’t count** You need to see three or more consecutive days of volume to confirm real money is entering. A one-day abnormal move is called a "false breakout."
Market rules have never changed; what changes are the waves of people entering. Some rush in with passion and get caught at the top; others greedily buy the dip and get stuck halfway up. It’s not that they don’t try, but they use the wrong methods, go in the wrong direction—this market only rewards understanding, not tears of different perspectives.

At 3:47 AM, I saw this, and my mind was filled with liquidity gaps... Old Yang's move was a classic false breakout, and I'm already tired of the rebound without volume. The ones that can truly turn around are never about throwing a tantrum, but about finding arbitrage opportunities in DEX price differences. When there's no volume at high levels, you should know that the scythe is sharpening.

Old Yang, I really can't hold back this story... It took three years to turn things around after hitting rock bottom, which is quite inspiring. It's just that I haven't learned this kind of mindset shift.
Going all-in twice and ending up with nothing—how brave must that be? It took me several months of medication just to break even.
That saying "one day's fluctuation equals a year's worth" really hit me; I feel that large accounts are actually less anxious?
I've been burned by the quick rise and slow fall strategy before. Now I just wait for the volume to pick up, wait three days and see.
But there's one thing... Is he really able to turn things around just by "a few pieces of experience," or did he just happen to catch the cycle at the right time?

Old Yang, listening to this story is a bit painful, but really, I’ve also been through days paying 3892 yuan in rent... However, the key to his eventual rise to a seven-figure amount was mainly adjusting his mindset—from obsessing over flipping houses to being able to sleep peacefully. This transformation is the prerequisite for making big money.
---
This tactic of rapid pull and slow decline has caused me to get trapped before. Now I just avoid it when I see it; the main players’ little tricks are too old.
---
The sharp rebound after a plunge is indeed deadly. Last time, I got caught because I thought I was picking up a bargain, and I got stuck. Now I wait for continuous volume before acting.
---
That one line about no volume at high levels really hit me. Many times, the so-called “catching the bag” comes from this—no trading volume means a deadlock, a bloody lesson.
---
Honestly, understanding this stuff really comes from spending money. Cheap doesn’t mean good, and the market only eats up this perception.
---
The period of no news for three years was so real... The crypto world is like that—either making big profits and disappearing or getting liquidated and sinking into silence. It’s rare to see someone survive and climb back.
---
I just want to ask Old Yang, does he still chase new coins, or is he just holding onto this seven-figure amount to earn steadily and safely?

Old Yang, this story really reflects the diverse lives in the crypto world... But I believe that being able to sleep with a seven-figure amount, that's indeed a mindset earned.
---
I couldn't even gather 3892 yuan for rent during that period, I was directly overwhelmed, that was me last year.
---
The experience of quickly pulling up and then slowly dropping is indeed valuable, but unfortunately most people can't learn their lessons from paying tuition.
---
Wait, did he really break even or... another story of "my friend's account"?
---
I remember the consecutive three days of volume at the bottom; I previously got caught on a false breakout in one day.
---
The phrase "only reward cognition" is too heartbreaking, but there's nothing we can do, after all, we are just those who came in.
---
By the way, is Old Yang really lying flat now or still messing around inside?
---
High volume without volume at the top means the sickle has swung, I've felt this too many times...

Old Yang, this story, is it called cultivation in a nice way or just paying tuition? Three years of completely clearing out and then bouncing back to seven figures... how is that probability calculated? I suspect maybe the traded assets changed later, or maybe I really understood the logic of rapid rise and slow fall.
I agree with those few suggestions, especially the one about no volume at high levels — I was caught by this before. When the volume surged at a high level, I rushed in, and then the sickle really came. Now I look at the candlestick chart first and check the volume; if there's no volume, I turn around and leave, even if I might miss out, I won't chase the high.
But honestly, cognition is really expensive — you have to spend money to believe it.

Old Yang, I've heard this story too many times. It's always a new person's name, but the plot remains the same... In the end, those who survive are not the ones who made the fastest profits, but those who can withstand the psychological pressure.
I think those pieces of advice are very insightful, especially "A high position with no volume is a dead end"—so many people have died because of this, yet they comfort themselves by waiting for a rebound.
The 3892 yuan period was indeed intense, but on the other hand, it's precisely because there was no money left that they stopped making reckless moves and started to think, right?
