The most important thing in making money from trading cryptocurrencies is to follow the trend. If you see it has risen a lot, it will continue to rise a lot. If you see it has fallen a lot, it will continue to fall a lot. Don't naively open positions against the trend, waiting for a liquidation; if it can't rise or fall anymore, it will just consolidate in a range before the trend eventually changes. This is referring to Bitcoin; for other coins, it depends on the market maker's sentiment, deciding how much it will rise or fall.
