Brothers, I want to chat with everyone about some solid insights late at night.
Always remember: when public sentiment is boiling, it is often a signal of hidden risks; when the market is silent, it may actually hide true opportunities. Recently, many friends have privately messaged me saying they can’t find direction, but if you think about it carefully: when the market rises, you are anxious about gains and losses, and when it falls, you are panicking without direction. Where does this root lie?
Old fans of Binance know that in 2023, I guided whales to invest in Bitcoin at over 20,000, Auntie at 1,300, BNB at 220, along with many altcoins.
I repeatedly emphasize the logic of focusing on the big picture while letting go of the small details. Why do some people clearly get the rhythm right but still fail to make money in the end? Simply put, it’s because they are too attached to short-term fluctuations, wanting to take profits at the slightest gain, fearing a pullback in profits; yet they greedily wish to capture all the upward movement. This contradictory mindset will only lead to being repeatedly harvested in the market's fluctuations.
Let me share a golden rule from the investment world: a certain trading master once said that the market spends 95% of its time in ineffective fluctuations, while the key market movements that can actually bring returns only account for 5%. Those who stare at the candlestick charts every day, guessing ups and downs, seem to be working hard but are actually just paying tuition to the market. Speaking for myself, after 9 years in the crypto space, what I rely on is never frequent trading, but rather patiently observing market trends. When true opportunities arise, I strike decisively with heavy positions and hold long-term, just as I have returned after a few months of silence.
Additionally, remember that unverified news is more dangerous than market volatility. With insider information and gossip flooding in every day, how can you verify their authenticity?
Let me give a real example: During the financial panic of 1907, countless investors were terrified by doomsday reports and hurriedly sold their assets, while that master took a contrarian position and went long, ultimately making a big profit. Why? Because he saw through the human weakness of being forever swayed by emotions.
So remember: when everyone around you is crazily following the trend, you should learn to observe calmly; when the market is calm, that’s when you should seriously study the entry signals. In this game, the blindly conforming will ultimately become someone else's prey, while independent thinkers will be the ones to laugh last.
