#通证化浪潮 went from 3000U to 100,000U: The pitfalls my student encountered.



I know a guy who, when he first entered the market, was a typical novice trader—constantly monitoring news and betting on rumors. As a result, his account went from 5000U down to only 3000U. Later, I explained to him several trading strategies I had summarized over the years, and he gradually figured it out. In the end, he really managed to grow that money to 100,000U.

**Don't rush to run away during a surge market**

I remember once when $BTC pulled out a big bullish candle, he immediately wanted to take profit and leave. I said, wait a minute—this kind of rapid rise followed by a slow drop clearly indicates that there is large capital accumulating. If you leave now, you're just giving your chips to the main force, right? He resisted the urge to move, and the next day the market surged upward directly, and he captured all that profit. Since then, he learned one word: patience.

**Is the sudden drop a buying opportunity? Let's first see if it's a trap**

During the previous market crash, he felt the opportunity had come and heavily invested, but the rebound never materialized, leaving him stuck halfway up the slope. That time, he understood—true bottoms don't come so suddenly. If there isn't even a decent rebound after such a drop, it's mostly a trap to lure in buyers, and entering at that point just means handing over the shares to others.

**Volume Reduction Downtrend is the Most Deceptive**

He used to worry about the high volume indicating a market top, until he experienced a round of declining volume with a downtrend: the market was quiet, seemingly with no fluctuations, yet his account was dropping day by day. That feeling was like a frog being boiled in warm water; by the time he realized it, he had already lost a significant amount. A sharp drop with high volume is at least obvious, while a slow decline with low volume is the real dull knife cutting meat.

**Wait for confirmation on bottom volume**

The first time he saw a bottom volume signal, he rushed in, only to find it was a false breakout and he got stuck. Later he learned to be smart—he must wait for three consecutive bullish candles and gradually increasing volume before taking action. On one occasion, when $ETH 's bottom showed this pattern, he followed the rules and the inflow of main funds was indeed impressive; he had a very comfortable ride during that wave.

Ultimately, trading is not about luck, but about understanding market behavior. I hope sharing these hard-earned lessons can help others avoid some pitfalls.

The period of decreased volume and downward movement really hits hard; only those who have experienced the feeling of being slowly boiled like a frog know it.

The declining volume and downward trend during that period were truly intense, like an invisible hand slowly choking the throat. By the time I realized it, blood was flowing in torrents.

The shrinking volume and downward movement are really something, and before I knew it, I got played for a sucker. But honestly, this trap theory sounds good, but it's still easy to panic in actual operation. I've been stuck on confirming the bottom; how do you judge what counts as a real bottom? Insider information is really poison; that's how I got tricked. The logic behind the three bullish lines is quite interesting; I'll give it a try next time. So many people want to buy the dip during a sharp fall, and I'm one of them, haha. The word patience is easy to say but hard to practice. The metaphor of boiling frogs is spot on; I'm still having lingering fears.

The period of downward movement with reduced volume was really heart-wrenching, just like boiling a frog in warm water.

The downward movement with reduced volume is really terrible, it silently plays people for suckers, and by the time you realize it, you're already bankrupt... This is like boiling a frog in warm water.

The downward movement with reduced volume is truly incredible; it silently plays people for suckers, leaving you completely empty.

The shrinking downward movement is really something, it silently plays people for suckers, more insidious than a big dump.

The downward movement with reduced volume is absolutely spot on; it really is the easiest to become numb to.

Really, the downward movement during the period of reduced volume hit me hard, it's the silent Cut Loss that feels the worst.
