The market has been fluctuating repeatedly recently, and many people have been caught and cut. In fact, if you look closely, the current market logic is not complicated. Mastering a few trading iron laws can help you avoid many detours.



**Grasp the rhythm of oscillation**
The top and bottom structures of the larger cycle are already very clear. Regardless of how the pattern unfolds, the key is to hold those inevitable price levels. Start from the small cycle to find specific entry points, strictly execute stop-losses, and decisively close positions when profits are reached. Greed often begins at this moment.

**There will inevitably be changes after consolidation**
The most dangerous time is during high-level consolidation—market makers like to create false breakouts at this position to attract retail investors to follow and buy. Don’t rush during bottoming at low levels; the seemingly cheap prices may hide the trap of the next sharp decline. Before a true confirmation of a trend reversal signal, keep your finger off the trigger. Controlling this impulse itself is a way to make money.

**Range-bound zones are the biggest traps**
Statistics clearly show that most liquidation events occur immediately after a sideways movement ends. Those who can’t resist during oscillations and frequently open positions will ultimately become others’ chips.

**Contrarian thinking is crucial**
When a scary large bearish candlestick appears, don’t panic follow the trend—this is often the best opportunity to buy at a low. Conversely, when a bullish candlestick surges high, sell when it’s time, don’t wait for more gains. This method is especially effective in rapid market conditions.

**There are patterns to sharp rises and falls**
If the coin price is slowly declining, rebounds tend to be weak; but if there’s a waterfall-like plunge, rebounds are usually fierce—this is a rhythm of the market. When encountering such extreme volatility next time, don’t panic. Panic often signals an opportunity.

That's right, the most frustrating part of this wave is the sideways movement, and opening trades impulsively can really lead to explosions. Those who frequently cut losses haven't endured enough; they need to learn to control their fingers. A large bearish candle can actually be a bottoming signal; opposite actions are the way to profit. Greed at that moment already means you've lost; you need to cut your positions decisively. A waterfall decline followed by a rebound is also fierce, but don't panic—this is actually an opportunity. Grasping this rhythm can indeed help reduce losses significantly.

That's correct, just control your hands and avoid reckless actions. Most people get caught during sideways trading.

Talking about stop-loss and closing positions again, it sounds simple but in reality it's hell to execute. Is it true that staying still during sideways movement can really make money? I think most people just get itchy hands. The waterfall-like sharp decline and rebound are fierce, but who dares to buy the bottom during a waterfall? Easy to say. The low-level grinding phase is very real. How many people think that cheap means a bargain, only to end up in hell. Reverse thinking sounds advanced, but psychological preparation is really difficult. When a big bearish candle appears, you simply can't stay calm. Stop-loss is easy to understand but hard to implement. Once you've been cut once, you start to get lucky, and then it's all over.

That's right, I got caught during the sideways trading period, I just couldn't hold back. The difficulty in making money actually lies in the two words "doing nothing." As for greed, I really haven't been able to control it. I held back during the big bearish candle, then quickly bought low on the rebound, that was satisfying. Stop-losses can't just be talked about; you have to suffer a big loss to truly understand. The rebound after a waterfall decline is indeed fierce, last time I timed it perfectly and made a lot of profit. Sideways trading is the most annoying; frequently opening orders is just giving chips to the market makers.

That's right, the hardest part is controlling your hands; during sideways trading, it's the easiest to break your discipline. People who trade frequently have indeed blown up; I've seen too many cases. This market trend is really a test of mentality. Greed can bring you back to square one in an instant. A big bearish candle can be really scary, but it's often the best time to pick up the bag. Stop-losses are easy to talk about, but few can actually execute them; I also often mess up. A slow decline is the most annoying, rebounds are weak as hell, but waterfall declines are actually quite refreshing. Don't talk about iron rules; I haven't even learned the copper rules yet, still exploring. After consolidation, change is inevitable, but it's hard to determine the direction. What should we do? Holding your finger down and not moving is too painful; I can never do it. Contrarian thinking requires a big heart; not many can stay calm when a bearish candle appears.

It's the same old rhetoric, it's not wrong to say, but how many actually follow through? Hands get the itch during sideways trading.

That's right, sideways trading is the easiest way to get liquidated. I was frequently stopped out and cut out in this wave. It's easy to talk about controlling the rhythm, but actually executing it is really difficult. The greed trap has tripped me every time. When a large bearish candle appears, don't panic first. Contrarian thinking has indeed saved me a few times. Consolidating again at a high level? The market maker's tactics are too deep; wait for a reversal signal before taking action. The waterfall-like plunge and fierce rebound—this wave of rise, I still chose to be greedy. Now I'm trapped.
