Why do others turn tens of thousands into millions, while you keep getting caught off guard? Instead of blaming luck or others, reflect on this—making money in the crypto world has never been about luck, but about cognition.

I’ve summarized six painful lessons in real terms, and I’d like to share them with everyone.

**1. Rapid rise, slow decline? Don’t be afraid, the big players are accumulating**

After the price peaks and slowly declines, many want to sell. Actually, this is the main force’s manipulation—clearing out retail investors’ chips. The real danger signals are not this, but a "sharp surge + waterfall dump," which is the final harvesting moment.

**2. Dropping sharply, then slowly rising? Be cautious, this is a distribution tactic**

A strong drop followed by a slow rebound. Looks like a reversal? Illusion. This "gentle rise" is the most deceptive, as the big players are giving you one last chance to chase high. Don’t be fooled by the illusion of "bottoming out"; chasing the bottom often leads to deeper traps. For example, hot coins like $SOL often show these fake signals.

**3. Sudden high volume at a high price ≠ time to run; disappearing volume is the real warning**

Price surges with a spike in trading volume, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to escape—there could be a second wave. What really makes your scalp crawl is when there’s no trading at high levels, and the market is cold as a ghost town. That’s often the night before a crash.

**4. A big bullish candle at the bottom ≠ signal to buy; sustained gentle volume increase is the real sign**

A sudden large volume candle at the bottom is usually a fake move by the big players. Don’t rush to buy. Only when the price consolidates with decreasing volume for a period, then followed by sustained, gentle volume increase, is it a true sign of accumulation.

**5. Trading volume is the real heartbeat of the market**

Candlesticks show the result, but volume tells the story. Shrinking volume indicates no one wants to play, and the market is indifferent; surging volume means big funds are pouring in, and the market is boiling. Understanding the fluctuations in volume is like seeing through the market’s temper.

**6. Achieving "nothing" is the mark of a true master**

No obsession—don’t let your judgments trap you; short when it’s time to short. No greed—don’t be tempted by gains; refuse to chase highs.

In the crypto world, reversing your fortunes isn’t about luck, but about understanding market rhythm and controlling yourself. Use the right methods, refine repeatedly, and wealth will come naturally.
