Fluctuations are like breathing; true experts have long learned to ‘breathe together’ with the market.
Brothers, when the market rises, you get FOMO; when it falls, you panic to cut losses; when it’s sideways, you think ‘the crypto market is dead’? Wake up! You're not losing due to technique or news, but because — your mindset is too poor, your understanding is too shallow, and your rhythm is all off!
Bull markets foster greed, bear markets foster understanding, and sideways markets are the true training ground for the mind!
Do you remember the night LUNA went to zero in 2022? Those who panicked and cut losses now have grass three meters high on their graves; but that ‘Bull Brother’ who quietly dollar-cost-averaged into ETH at 85 dollars has now seen his account grow tenfold, smiling like a genius.
The crypto market isn't devoid of opportunities; it's your mind that has long been hijacked by emotions!
The market is like tides, K-lines are waves; those who really survive and make big money in this market are not ‘gamblers who stare at the screen every day’, but seasoned farmers who understand the rhythm of planting, surfers who wait for the waves, and players who maintain a calm mindset.
Below, Lao Zhu shares his trading insights
When facing a surge
“Don't let FOMO (fear of missing out) hijack your operations! Last year, when SOL doubled in a week, how many people chased it at the peak of 180? Remember: The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is patience to wait for them.”
When facing a sharp decline
“Think about the night LUNA went to zero in 2022; those who panicked and cut losses now have grass three feet high on their graves. A sharp decline washes away leverage, leaving chips behind; as long as the logic hasn't broken, holding steady is the technique.”
When the market is sideways
“The main players love to wear down retail investors' patience! Refer to last year when Bitcoin was sideways for 4 months at 20k; only those who can endure a 30% fluctuation can withstand a 300% increase.”
Lao Zhu's farming theory (suitable for beginners):
“Trading cryptocurrencies is like a farmer planting:
Spring sowing (low-position layout) must be decisive
Summer cultivation (holding during volatility) must be steady
Harvesting (taking profits) must be precise
Don't be anxious about harvesting during planting season, and don't be greedy about planting during harvest season.
Surfing principles
“The market is like ocean waves,
Newbies chasing highs and cutting losses (dazed by the waves)
Experts observe the tides (waiting for the waves to form)
Masters swim with the trend (riding the waves)
True surfers never curse the unpredictability of the waves.”
Five key phrases to prevent risks:
Don’t chase during a sharp rise; keep your mind calm → Prevent getting stuck at the peak
Don’t panic during a sharp drop; keep your mind steady → Prevent cutting losses at the bottom
Stay calm during sideways movement → Prevent losing your chips
Wealth comes with clarity → Prevent being baited
As long as the logic remains unchanged, stay firm → Prevent getting thrown off the bus
