If you want to make a name in the crypto world, just busying yourself blindly won't cut it. Those who make money often understand a truth that others can't see through — sometimes doing nothing yields more than frequent trading.
Seeing the bigger picture is more valuable than panicking and rushing. The most sought-after skill of true experts is their understanding of being in a flat position. When a bear market arrives, don’t rush to buy the dip. When the trend is still downward, even cheap chips can trap you tightly. Instead of trading frequently, it's better to watch more and act less, accumulating strength before making moves.
When the bull market comes, don’t be scared off by small fluctuations. As long as the trend is intact, hold on until clear reversal signals appear before exiting. The benefits of the main upward wave at this time, how can you easily miss out?
"Buy low, sell high" sounds simple, but the real challenge is execution. The key lies in patience — waiting for the right opportunity and not being disturbed by short-term market noise. Follow the movements of big funds, rather than being led by retail investor sentiment. How big funds move, the market rhythm follows. Understand this, and you can leverage the trend.
No matter how strong your technical skills or how deep your fundamental research, you can't defy the overall trend. Those who go with the flow prosper, while those against it end up being harvested. This is an iron law.
Pay attention to the timing and location of negative news. If a sudden negative event occurs at the top, it’s likely the main players are offloading. You should decisively exit. But if negative news appears at the bottom, it might actually signal an opportunity — consider cautiously positioning yourself.
Always know when to cash out to protect profits and principal. This is the secret to surviving long-term in the crypto space. Asset allocation should also be reasonable. If a bull market arrives, keep some Bitcoin on hand to avoid missing out.
The last point is often overlooked — it’s hard to go far alone in the crypto world. Information is wealth. You need to find a reliable community that provides firsthand market insights, so you can keep up with the rhythm and not fall behind.

That's true, but the key is that most people simply can't stay out of the market. Once they're out, they feel uncomfortable.
The most satisfying feeling is watching the price hit the daily limit and being unable to buy, then chasing the high and getting caught... this cycle is quite common.
I agree with following big funds; retail investors hype themselves up for a while, but in the end, they're all harvested.
But honestly, finding a reliable circle is more difficult than anything else. Nowadays, information is just a tool for cutting leeks.

That's right, I am the kind of person who has been most frequently tricked by frequent manipulations. Now I basically just hold and relax.

Wait, can you make money even when you're out of the market? How did I not think of that?
Bottom-fishing in a bear market is indeed easy to get trapped and stuck, that hits hard.
The key is to follow the rhythm of big funds; retail investors are really too easy to be cut.
That's right, the timing of negative news is very important. I hadn't paid attention to this before.
Without a reliable community in the crypto world, it's really tough. Exploring blindly alone is too exhausting.

That's right, I used to frequently operate impulsively, which resulted in increasing losses. Now that I've learned to stay out of the market, I feel much more comfortable.
But to be honest, only a few people can truly hold their positions; most are scared out by short-term fluctuations.
I've heard the phrase "go with the trend" countless times, but very few actually manage to do it.
This article is well-written, especially the part about the bearish positions, which makes a lot of sense.
It seems I still need to mingle more with the community; it's almost impossible for one person to thoroughly understand everything.

Closing positions is really an art, but most people can't do it.
Oh wait, who in a bear market can really not trade... I just got impatient.
Going with the trend is truly the way to go; going against the trend mostly just makes you a leek (retail investor).
This round's summary is pretty good, but it's extremely difficult to execute.
Honestly, it still depends on how big funds move; retail investor sentiment is just a trap.
Bottoming out with bad news? I go all in directly, that's reverse thinking.
Taking profits in time is the real skill; otherwise, it's just paper wealth.
Playing in the crypto space alone, it's easy to get cut. You need to find reliable people to talk to.
