After nine years of trading cryptocurrencies, I discovered a truth: Among the countless technical indicators, the most fundamental and effective one is always the price-volume relationship. Understanding trading volume allows you to grasp what the big players are doing, saving you from taking 90% of the wrong turns.

📈 Price-Volume Iron Law — See through the intentions of the big players at a glance

1️⃣ A sharp rise followed by a slow decline = Accumulation

If the price rises quickly but falls slowly, don't panic! This is the main force quietly collecting chips. If the chips are not sufficiently exchanged, they won't just pull out; instead, they are preparing for the next wave of market movement.

2️⃣ A sharp decline followed by a sluggish rise = Distribution

After a big drop, a slow and steady rise may seem stable, but in fact, it carries the highest risk. The main force is secretly distributing shares while retail investors are under the illusion that "the decline has stopped."

3️⃣ A huge volume at the top does not mean a top; a decrease in volume is what’s dangerous

High volume at a high price indicates that enthusiasm is still present, and the market may not be over. But if suddenly no one is buying (decreasing volume), it means the strength is exhausted, so run quickly.

4️⃣ Don't rush with volume at the bottom; sustained volume counts as true bottoming

A single day of explosive volume may be a false rebound; only continuous volume with stable prices rising is a real bottoming with funds involved.

5️⃣ Volume represents market sentiment, while price is the result

Retail investors look at price, while experts look at volume. Volume represents consensus; if no one is willing to trade, even if the price rises, it's a false rise.

Jesse Livermore once said a profound truth:

"Gambling is guessing volatility, while speculation is waiting for a trend."

In the same market, some face liquidation, while others double their investments — the difference lies not in luck but in whether one understands the language of the big players: price and volume.

Remember: Profit in the market comes from price, while trading volume helps avoid risks.

Understanding the price-volume iron law gives you the confidence not to blindly follow, chase highs, or get washed out. The rest is left to time and trends. #美国加征关税 #加密市场回调 $ETH $BTC
