In the wave of the cryptocurrency market, the ultimate battle is with oneself. True advancement does not stem from precise predictions, but from a profound interpretation of market language and continuous taming of one's own temperament.
Observing the market essentially means observing human emotions.
A slow decline after a rapid rise is often a carefully designed washout, aimed at breaking the patience of retail investors; while a gentle recovery after a sharp decline requires caution against the trap of enticing buying. The true peak often comes quietly—high prices but no applause, with dwindling volume signaling the onset of a crash. The true bottom is also never noisy; it must experience the despair of reduced volume before welcoming the gradual influx of capital.
The candlestick chart depicts prices, but the volume reveals the truth.
It records every panic sell-off and greedy pursuit, serving as the market's most authentic breath. Only by understanding the volume can one grasp the true emotions driving the market.
In trading, what one ultimately cultivates is the mindset of 'nothingness':
· Without obsession, one can wait in cash without being shaken;
· Without greed, one can understand the need to give up bait, not chasing high prices;
· Without fear, one can calmly lay out strategies in places no one pays attention to.
Always remember: the market has never been wrong; what is wrong is the illusions we project onto it. In this market, surviving longer is far more important than making quick profits—top survivors are often the controllers of risk and the waiters for signals, rather than guessers of fate.
