The cryptocurrency circle reveals a harsh truth over time: the more addicted you are to analysis, the easier it is to become a target for harvesting.
Just like the wave of market activity on December 15, when Bitcoin fell below $88,000, 115,000 people were liquidated within 24 hours, totaling $272 million, most of whom were traders fixated on on-chain capital flow and analyzing
#kol .
I know an old trader, Old Zhou, who was also an indicator fanatic in his early years, with screens filled with
#MACD , RSI, and Bollinger Bands, staring at order book depth and liquidity pool data second by second.
In the "Leverage Big Reset" market in October 2025, he was lured into a full position by the "main force increasing positions" signal and then panicked and cut losses due to the "whale selling" news, losing from a capital of 50,000 to only 10,000.
Later, he completely deleted all indicators, leaving only the
#MA20 moving average paired with daily candlesticks, spending 20 minutes daily reviewing and marking support and resistance levels, strictly adhering to the discipline of "not chasing highs, not betting on lows, and keeping contract leverage no more than 2x."
Unexpectedly, this steadied him; in this round of Bitcoin's correction market, he relied on precise moving average breakout signals to take profits, rolling capital from 10,000 to 8 million.
I have seen too many experts like this; the cryptocurrency circle is inherently a negative-sum game, with transaction fees and liquidations continuously draining funds. Over-analysis only makes one a target for chaos created by market makers.
The true winners are not those who understand the most indicators, but those who can simplify their strategies into ironclad rules.
If you want to survive and win in the cryptocurrency circle for a long time, first ask yourself: will you continue to be led by indicators like a target for harvesting, or will you adhere to minimalist discipline to become a winner?
