With 8 years of experience in the crypto world, I have seen too many stories of sudden wealth and overnight zeroing out. As for myself, I used a seemingly "simple" method to gradually grow an initial 20,000 yuan to 50 million. Some may find it hard to believe, but it’s not luck, nor some magical secret—just constantly verifying those seemingly simple yet easily overlooked market patterns.

Today, I want to share a few core insights I’ve developed through practical experience over the years.

**Rapid Rise Followed by Slow Decline vs Sudden Crash After a Surge**

Both situations appear as declines, but the underlying logic is completely different. The former is usually market manipulation to shake out weak hands; there’s no need to panic. But if there’s a rapid crash after a surge (for example, dropping from +20% to -15% in a short time), it’s basically a trap to lure in buyers and dump. At this point, reacting slowly means you’re done.

**Most Likely to Get Trapped After a Large Drop and Rebound**

Many people see a big drop and can’t resist trying to buy the dip, thinking it’s a gift from heaven. But the market never plays by normal rules. The rebound after a single-day plunge is often just the "first half of a V-shaped recovery." When the true bottom appears, it usually doesn’t give a clear signal.

**High-Volume Fluctuations vs High-Volume Contraction at Top**

In the top area, if you see volume surging along with oscillations, there might still be one last push higher. But what’s more important is—if trading volume suddenly shrinks and the market becomes quiet, it often signals imminent risk. This calm before the storm is usually a warning sign.

**Real Signals at the Bottom**

A single-day volume spike rebound is often a trap. The real accumulation logic is: first, a period of low-volume consolidation, then gentle volume increase at lower levels. This steady and gradual volume growth indicates smart funds are quietly entering.

**Trading Volume as an Emotional Barometer**

Crypto trading is essentially about market sentiment consensus. Many people look at candlestick charts, but what truly determines the trend is the underlying volume data. Volume tells the truth—it reflects participants’ real attitudes and is more honest than any fancy analysis.

**The Most Important, and Also the Core: Mindset Management**

No obsession, only patience to wait for real opportunities rather than being forced into trades. No greed, to avoid chasing highs. No fear, to quietly position during market panic. These three "nots" may seem negative, but they are the standard for top traders.

The market never lacks opportunities; every month features various surges and crashes. What’s missing is the discipline to "control your hands" and the insight to "see through" the market. Overly clever traders often end up losing, while those who stick to rules and can endure loneliness tend to last longer. That’s the true essence of what I call the "simple method."
