I just recently discovered that the market has come up with a new pattern called the "Monkey Market." This term is indeed very fitting, just like the recent market movements—jumping up and down, making it hard to keep track.
If you're even slightly inattentive to the overall pattern, you might get shaken out. The worst part of a Monkey Market is right here: a small pullback can trap you.
If you look closely, the reason for the appearance of a Monkey Market is actually quite clear. Large investors are taking profits, but although the market is still in a bullish trend, institutions aren't in su

Recently, many friends have asked me why I still hold cryptocurrencies, so I decided to organize my thoughts and share them with everyone.
To be honest, there are indeed many benefits to cryptocurrencies. The most obvious is their growth potential. Although there have been significant fluctuations over the years, in the long run, many people have achieved good returns through participation. However, that’s not the main reason that attracts me; what I value more is that crypto assets can help diversify an investment portfolio genuinely. Because they are relatively independent of traditional fin

It's past 3 a.m., and on a whim, I inexplicably opened a contract order for an ETH neutral grid. Now I finally understand what "the price of impulsiveness" really means. From an initial small profit to a complete blowout loss of over 1,600 USDT, with a loss rate approaching 28%, this lesson has given me a whole new perspective on the so-called "stable strategy."
Many beginners might misunderstand the neutral grid strategy, thinking it's a magic tool that can profit regardless of market direction, with no risk of loss. In reality, it's just a method of automatically buying and selling within se

Recently, I saw someone asking what it really means when a high-level doji line is combined with increased volume. Let me be straightforward—this is usually a very dangerous signal, so be cautious.
First, let me share my observation. When the price has already risen significantly and is in a high position, suddenly appearing with huge volume along with a high-level doji line, what does this combination actually suggest? Simply put, it indicates that both bulls and bears are engaged in intense struggle, but the closing price doesn’t change much, as if the price has gone in a circle and returned

I often see this kind of market situation, and there's really no need to panic. The coin price has been rising for several days, accumulating a lot of gains, and then suddenly there's a sharp surge and drop, swallowing back the previous profits in one or two days. Such intense volatility is especially likely to trigger panic in beginners. Watching the numbers keep falling, the psychological pressure will cause people to hurriedly sell off their holdings.
In fact, this is a common manipulation tactic used by the main players during a bull market. When the coin price drops to a certain level, th

I recently saw a set of old photos of Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng, and I truly understood what it means to support each other through thick and thin.
In 1929, Lin Huiyin had just given birth to her daughter Liang Zaiyin, and her body had not fully recovered, but Liang Sicheng kept holding his camera and taking photos. At that time, there were no mobile phone filters or retouching software; all there was was Liang Sicheng’s appreciation for this moment in her life. Three years later, their son Liang Zongyi was born, and he did the same again. Many people think this was inconsiderate, but in fa

Having been a miner for so long, my biggest takeaway is that choosing the right mining software can really double your efficiency. At first, I was just trying different programs randomly, but later I gradually found tools that suited me best.
If you're a beginner, I recommend starting with simple and user-friendly options. Programs like EasyMiner are very friendly, with a clean interface, and once set up, they can run automatically without you needing to watch them every day. But if you have some basic knowledge and want more control, CGMiner, although with a steep learning curve, supports var

Recently, the crypto community has been buzzing about a new topic—so-called “Future Person from 2058,” Ling Guofenling. This Japanese influencer has been hailed by fans as a “flawlessly accurate prophet” because she previously predicted things like the Tokyo Olympics gold medal count, the Nikkei index’s crash, and Shinzo Abe stepping down. However, her latest cryptocurrency investment advice leaves people somewhat confused.
According to Ling Guofenling, she bought roughly 1,400 Ether using her father’s account in late 2019, then buried them in the backyard of her home, planning to dig them up

If you want to understand stocks, you can't ignore the turnover rate. I'll be honest, many people have been trading stocks for years and still can't figure out this thing, and the result is often getting completely cut up by the main players.
Let's start with the most straightforward explanation: the turnover rate is the frequency of stock trading, reflecting how active this stock is. A turnover rate of 60% means the stock is being exchanged frequently, with buyers and sellers competing against each other. Buyers think it's a strong stock and should be bought when it dips, while sellers have a

I just saw an interesting ranking, and it turns out that the world's highest-valued national currency is not the US dollar😲 Kuwait Dinar ranks first, which I really didn't expect. I heard that the reason it's so valuable is mainly because Kuwait has extremely abundant oil reserves, and its economic foundation is rock solid.
Then, the currencies of Middle Eastern countries like Bahrain, Oman, and Jordan also rank quite high, mostly supported by oil and pegged to the US dollar. Further down the list, traditional strong currencies like the British Pound and Swiss Franc appear, with the Euro in 9

Recently, I came across a pretty interesting topic about the understanding of unlimited upward movement.
Many people don't really have a deep understanding of trading volume, so today I want to talk about this.
The essence of trading volume is actually very simple: it’s the disagreement between the bulls and bears.
Buyers believe the price will go up in the future, sellers believe it will go down.
Because opinions differ, transactions happen.
If everyone had the same view, no one would trade.
It's like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai—one is willing to strike, the other is willing to tak

A long-forgotten old topic has been dragged back into the spotlight again—who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto? This person changed the world with a 9-page PDF, and then vanished completely. After 15 years, no one still knows his true identity.
It’s downright magical. On October 31, 2008, a person called Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” on a cryptography mailing list. Just these 9 pages, yet they redefined the future of money. Two months later, the Bitcoin network went live, and the Genesis Block was mined. Satoshi left a message inside: “Th

There's something I've been wanting to talk about. Recently I saw Brother Sun appear in the news again, and I couldn't help but think of his $6.2 million banana bite. At that time, the whole world was watching him perform what is called "artistic experience," but I think true art is—he attracted global attention with a banana. This person is called Sun Yuchen, known in the crypto world as "Sun割" (Sun Cut).
Speaking of Brother Sun's rise to wealth, I have to admit he's indeed clever. He graduated first in the history department at Peking University, then went on to study in Pennsylvania, and ma

Recently, I saw someone discussing methods to identify the M top pattern, so I decided to organize my understanding of this classic reversal pattern.
Speaking of which, the M top pattern, also known as the double top, appears quite frequently on candlestick charts. Simply put, the price of the coin rises continuously to a certain high point, then pulls back, rebounds to roughly the same height, and finally drops again. The entire trajectory looks like the letter "M," hence the name M top.
To identify a genuine M top pattern, there are several details worth paying attention to. First are the tw

Recently reviewing the history of the gold market, I found a fairly interesting pattern—whenever there is a major shift in the economic environment, a plunge in gold prices tends to follow.
Let’s look at the earliest instance. From 1980 to 1982, the gold price was forced down by more than 58%, nearly halving. Back then, the United States and other developed countries were doing everything they could to fight inflation, causing gold’s appeal to drop sharply. On top of that, as the oil crisis gradually eased, risk aversion also faded, and investors began to pull out.
Next came 1983 to 1985—anoth

Recently, many newcomers in the community are still a bit confused about rebate commissions. Actually, this is one of the few negotiation chips you can control in the crypto space, which can help you save on transaction fees and generate extra income. The key is that many people simply haven't used it correctly.
Let's first talk about what transaction fees are. When you trade on an exchange, whether spot or futures, the platform charges a fee, which is their main source of income. Futures trading is especially harsh because the fee is calculated based on your position size. For example, if you

Recently, I found that many investors actually don't understand how to interpret turnover rate, which is a big problem. I’ve organized my practical experience over the years and hope to help everyone.
Let's start with the basics. The turnover rate is actually the frequency of stock trading, reflecting how active this stock is. Think about it: if a stock trades 10 million shares in a month, and the total share capital is 100 million shares, then the turnover rate is 10%. This indicator can help you judge whether a stock is obscure or popular.
But the key is, how to interpret the turnover rate t

Speaking of the nickname “Sun Ge,” it is actually the result of the crypto market “voting with their feet.” This guy does have talent, but his methods have cost retail investors too much.
Let’s start with his growth record. Born in 1990, he was admitted to Peking University through special admission in 2007—this starting point already overwhelms most people. In 2011, he went to the U.S. for further study; in 2012, he made a big purchase of Bitcoin and earned 10 million within less than a year. Back then, nobody called him “Sun Ge.” Instead, he still had the vibe of a prodigy teenager.
The real

A few days ago, Sun Yuchen made a big move again, acquiring SRM Entertainment, a U.S. publicly listed company, with 100 million USD, allowing TRON to go public on NASDAQ through a reverse merger. At 35 years old, he has become the helm of a listed company, truly embodying the phrase from eight years ago—"The measure of a person is how much money they make"—turning it into reality.
Speaking of Sun Yuchen's footprint in the crypto world, it’s indeed sizable. Since launching TRON in 2017, he’s been nonstop. That year, he raised $400 million through an ICO, though later faced the "9.4" ban, nearly

Recently, I’ve been increasingly realizing that understanding human psychology is truly a must-learn subject. No matter whether it’s romance, work, or social interactions, there are always some interesting psychological patterns behind them.
First, let’s talk about romance. The sunk cost fallacy is especially brutal—9 out of 10 people have fallen for it. Even when you clearly know the other person is a bad boy or a bad girl, you still can’t bring yourself to break up. It’s not really because you love them so much, but because you’ve already invested too much, so letting go feels even harder. T
