Don't be superstitious about indicator myths anymore. The core of surviving in the crypto world is the MACD divergence that I thoroughly understood after losing 6 million in two liquidations.

When BTC surged to 69,000 in 2021, I had a leveraged position with a floating profit of 3 million, and everyone in the group was shouting "breaking 100,000." But late at night, while monitoring the market, I noticed that although the price hit a new high, the MACD red energy bars had shrunk by half — this scene was strikingly similar to when ETH hit 4,800 three years ago. After painfully liquidating my position, the next day there was a 58% crash, and all I could hear were cries of liquidation. That’s when I understood that a top divergence is a “withdrawal signal” from funds.

When LUNA collapsed last year, the market was filled with curses, but I saw a bottom divergence on the weekly chart: the price hit a new low while the green energy bars shrank by 60%.

Looking on-chain, a certain whale was continuously accumulating 20 million UST every day for three weeks. I built my position in three batches, and after enduring the panic, I earned back 3 million through the RWA concept.

Remember: a top divergence is “price new high + bar shrinkage,” while a bottom divergence is “price new low + bar shrinkage.” Last year, when DOGE surged to 0.35, I used this strategy to liquidate and avoided a 70% crash.

Many people rush in when there's a golden cross, which is purely giving away their positions. When PEPE had its first golden cross in 2024, I saw 20 million USDT in hot wallets moving in and out quickly,

so I decisively waited, and sure enough, it dropped 20% three days later. The real opportunity comes with the second golden cross, resonating between the 30-minute and 4-hour lines,

only then do I make my move when large on-chain transfers double. Last year, when SOL broke 100, I waited for the 4-hour second golden cross + volume to double, and my 30% position doubled in 15 days.

Among the iron laws honed over eight years, the resonance of three cycles is the most critical: the 30-minute determines direction, the 4-hour assesses strength, and the daily locks in trends.

Last year, when BTC fluctuated around 48,000, the daily death cross scared countless people away, but I kept my eyes on the weekly zero line and stubbornly held on until it hit 60,000.

What's even more important is to go against human nature: the first position after a golden cross should never exceed 5%, and after three consecutive stop losses, take a 24-hour break. This is the core of how I turned from losing everything to making consistent profits.

MACD has never been a predictive tool; it is a mirror reflecting the breathing of funds. Being able to distinguish accumulation from distribution through the expansion and contraction of energy bars makes profit a natural outcome. If you want to avoid the scythe and grasp the essence of MACD, follow me. @番茄说币
