In the cryptocurrency world for many years, I have summarized several practical skills for support levels to help you achieve stable profits!
1. Upward Trend: The Long-Short Game of Support Levels
✅ Effective Support: During a pullback, the bearish candlestick is weaker than the bullish candlestick, volume decreases near the support level, and after a bullish engulfing, the price rebounds. At this point, the support is effective, and you can add positions at lower prices. ❌ Trend Reversal: Frequent bearish candlesticks, strong bearish sentiment, and even a brief rebound still break below the support line, indicating the end of the upward trend, and decisive exit is necessary.
2. Consolidation Phase: The True and False Breakthroughs of Support Levels
✅ Confirmed Effective: After consolidation near the support level, a long bullish candlestick breaks through, confirming the effectiveness of the support, and you can follow up with long positions. ❌ Breakdown: After consolidation, a long bearish candlestick breaks below the support, triggering panic selling, indicating that the price will continue to decline, and you should immediately cut losses.
3. Key Breakout: Signals that Determine Success or Failure
🔻 Trend Reversal: The price breaks below the support line, shifting from upward to downward. In a major trend, breaking below a secondary support indicates the original trend has ended. 🔺 Bottom Fishing Opportunity: If the support has not been broken and there is a strong rebound with high trading volume, you can buy; if there is no accompanying trading volume, exit early to avoid being trapped. $BTC

Trading cryptocurrencies, seriously focus on the following 6 points, and your wealth will continue to grow!
1. Trend is King The trend is the core of profit; without a trend, there is no profit effect. Large funds often only operate in trending markets; if there is no suitable trend, it is better to stay out or only use small amounts to test the waters.
2. Carefully Select Strong Coins Choosing the right coins directly affects success or failure. Strong coins usually show a one-sided upward trend, characterized by considerable gains and small pullbacks; selecting the right coin is essential to seize profit opportunities.
3. Patiently Wait with No Position Absolutely do not blindly chase highs; patiently wait for the bottom or a temporary bottom opportunity. Conduct thorough research before entering, carefully select coins with strong trends and good technical patterns, and stay away from weak coins.
4. Firmly Hold Positions for Growth After buying, firmly hold as long as no top pattern appears; do not be swayed by short-term fluctuations, and only consider exiting when a clear top signal emerges.
5. Abandon Tail Risk When the price rises to a relatively high level, decisively take profits. The risk of tail events increases, and timely profit-taking can secure gains.
6. Timely Cash Out Quickly convert the profitable portion into fiat currency to ensure sufficient cash flow to support living expenses, achieving a balance between investment and life. #BTC

After many years in the cryptocurrency market, I have summarized several short-term trading methods and techniques to share with everyone! 1. Skillfully use technical analysis to grasp buying and selling opportunities Technical analysis is an important tool for short-term trading in the cryptocurrency market. By analyzing historical price and trading volume data, one can predict future price trends. Common indicators include: ① Moving Averages: Such as the 5-day moving average and the 10-day moving average. When a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average, it may signal a buying opportunity; conversely, crossing below may signal a selling opportunity. ② Relative Strength Index (RSI): When the RSI exceeds 70, it indicates that the market is overbought, and prices may decline, consider selling; when it is below 30, the market is oversold, prices may rise, consider buying. ③ Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands consist of three lines; the middle line is the moving average, and the upper and lower lines represent the price fluctuation range. When the price touches the upper band, it may face resistance, signaling a selling opportunity; touching the lower band may provide support, signaling a buying opportunity. 2. Closely monitor trading volume to confirm trend signals Trading volume is a key indicator of market activity and capital flow. When prices rise and trading volume increases simultaneously, it indicates a strong upward trend, and one can continue to hold or buy; if prices rise but trading volume shrinks, the upward trend may be difficult to sustain, be cautious. Similarly, when prices fall and trading volume increases, the downward trend may continue; if trading volume is low, the downward trend may weaken. A significant increase in trading volume when breaking key resistance or support levels is an important signal for trend confirmation. 3. Strictly implement risk control to protect principal safety Risk control is the core of short-term trading and is crucial to investment success. Suggestions include: ① Diversify investments: Do not concentrate all funds in one cryptocurrency; diversify investments across multiple mainstream and potential cryptocurrencies to reduce risks associated with the volatility of a single cryptocurrency. ② Set stop-losses: Establish stop-loss points before each trade; for example, if losses reach 5%-10%, decisively sell to avoid further losses. ③ Control position size: The position size of a single trade should not exceed 20% of total funds to prevent significant losses due to individual trading mistakes. 4. Accurately capture short-term hotspots and profit by following trends The cryptocurrency market has fast-changing hotspots. Pay attention to popular projects or newly listed cryptocurrencies to seize opportunities for short-term price fluctuations. 5. Reasonably use arbitrage trading to earn price difference profits Utilize price differences between different exchanges for arbitrage. #BTC
Five Principles of Trading: First, to succeed in trading, the first thing we need to do is control the account drawdown risk, manage our capital well, and prevent catastrophic losses from blowing the account or consecutive stop losses. Therefore, risk control is the top priority and is a lifesaver. In the process of trading, one can make small mistakes, but not big ones, and certainly not become overly emotional. Once you lose control, it may lead to irreversible consequences.
Second, to simplify trading, follow the trend and do not predict the market or make guesses. When you find a reason to enter a trade, be decisive.
Third, wait for opportunities. True experts are skilled at waiting for opportunities, waiting for the market conditions that are certain for you. Avoid trading in situations you do not understand or that are unclear; it is better to miss out than to make mistakes. Like a sniper, wait for your target, aim, and take the shot rather than spraying bullets with a machine gun and missing completely.
Fourth, to achieve stable profits, you must have a complete trading system. However, a trading system is essentially just a set of rules; the most important part is execution. Therefore, the fourth principle is very important: strictly adhere to the trading discipline you have set, and strive for unity between knowledge and action to truly make money in this market.
Fifth, emotional management. No matter how excellent you are in trading or how much money you can make, you will always encounter various situations, bumps, and disturbances that can affect your emotions and lead to losing trades. At this time, it is particularly important to stabilize your emotions. Do not become overly emotional due to market fluctuations, do not complain about the market, and do not only focus on the positive while ignoring the negative. It is essential to view the market and your own shortcomings fairly and justly. A stable trader must continuously work on mental fortitude; you are your own support, and others will only influence the speed at which you react.
The cryptocurrency market is filled with uncertainty and challenges, but it also contains potential opportunities. Investors should fully understand the associated risks when participating in cryptocurrency investment, remain calm and rational, and respond to market changes with a prudent strategy!
In today's market where Web3 projects are blooming and hype is rampant, there are very few projects that truly have users, revenue, and profits. Many projects have high market valuations but cannot answer basic questions like 'Where does your revenue come from?' or 'Are users really using you every day?' As UXLINK, a Web3 social ecosystem built around 'social as entry', is answering these questions with real data and rapidly establishing its 'super entry' position in the crypto world. CZ has also mentioned that to judge the quality of a project, one should consider dimensions such as users, revenue, profits, and business models. Let's analyze UXLINK from these perspectives.
The futures market is highly risky. To achieve long-term stable profits, keep the following points in mind!
1. Core Trading Logic Futures trading cannot rely solely on news and intuition. 20% of your effort should be on fundamental analysis to grasp the essence, and 80% should be on technical analysis to judge trends. But the most important factor is execution; a trading system validated by real combat is the key to profitability.
2. Moving Average Trading Principles Whether you are a very short-term or medium to long-term investor, always remember this principle. Go long above the moving average and short below it. It is never too late to go long above the moving average; following the trend is the way to profit.
3. Two Major Trading Taboo Trading against the trend and participating in choppy markets are major taboos! Never short during a rapid rise, and don’t go long during a rapid decline. When prices are fluctuating around the moving average, do not open a position; otherwise, your principal will be quickly consumed by frequent stop losses.
4. Follow Market Trends Do not subjectively predict the market! Attempting to catch the bottom or top is a common mistake made by novices and can easily trigger stop losses, leading to significant losses. Following the actual market trend is the right choice for profitability. #交易理念

☎️ Surviving these three challenges, it's hard not to make money!
First Challenge: Emotional Challenge Under Account Fluctuations When your account is in profit, do you impulsively increase your position? After a few consecutive losses, can you keep your hands steady and avoid revenge trading? If you feel nervous every time you place an order and are led by profits and losses every day, then you are not ready to trade full-time. Actually, it’s not that the strategy doesn’t work, it’s that your ability to withstand pressure hasn’t kept up. The real challenge of trading isn’t the market, but your own attitude towards gains and losses. If you haven’t managed to stabilize your emotions and not be swayed by profits and losses, then this job will only consume you more and more.
Second Challenge: Endurance Challenge of Long-term Ineffectiveness Trading is not a quick success. This may be the cruelest but also the most honest truth in the trading world. Many people start trading thinking it’s a “quick business.” They learn techniques for three months, run a real account for half a year, and expect to achieve stable profits within a year, even “making a living from trading.” But I can responsibly say that most people need 2–3 years to achieve initial stable profits, and to rely on it for a living, you must at least endure the earlier phase of “investment without visible results.” It was only in my fourth year that I began to profit slowly, and in my fifth year that I felt stability. Before that, all my perseverance was supported by that little bit of belief. You should ask yourself a question: If you don’t make money from trading for 3 years, will you continue? If the answer is “very difficult,” then don’t rush to take up trading as your main source of income.
Third Challenge: Pressure from Real-Life
Trading, especially if you want to rely on it to support yourself, involves not only technical and psychological issues but also facing the tests of life itself. The most realistic question is: Do you have a stable cash flow? In the early stages of trading, it’s hard to achieve stable profits. If you don’t have other sources of income, every trade will be hijacked by the “pressure to make money.”
What you want to do is make objective judgments, but in your mind, you’re thinking: I haven’t paid the mortgage this month, the child’s education expenses, my wife’s expenditures, etc., so I absolutely cannot lose on this trade today. When life is tied to trading, it becomes less pure. This is not a technical issue but a problem of life support not keeping up.
The Path You Must Take in the Crypto World: Find Your Place! Absolutely Accurate! The First Cycle: New to the Crypto World, Blindly Enthusiastic • Attracted to the Circle: Drawn in by the wealth stories of people around or online, either conservatively trying or boldly going all in. • Market Frenzy: Daily surges, ambitious, unaware of risks, only feeling hope for the future. • Blind Optimism: Completely ignorant of market corrections, scams, and crashes, filled with fantasies of making money. • Painful Outcome: Bear market hits, market crashes, and capital is wiped out. The Second Cycle: Enduring Hardships, Persistently Holding On • Persistent Character: After experiencing the first round of reshuffling, still choosing to stay in the crypto world, with an intense desire for wealth. • Ups and Downs: Having experienced the peak of a bull market, the trough of a bear market, and the consolidation period, patience is worn thin. • Confused Information: Inquiring everywhere for information, with both profits and losses, but only hearing stories of sudden wealth. Core Insight: The Reward of Patience • Blindness of the Masses: Most people in the crypto world are blindly following, lacking skills, relying solely on emotions. • Patience is King: Don’t rush, time will reward those who are patient. Making money in the crypto world is not easy; it requires undergoing multiple cycles of trials, from blind enthusiasm to enduring hardships, and then to holding on with patience. In the end, time will prove that those who are patient and can persevere are the ones who are likely to gain returns in this volatile market. #币圈投资策略

Essential Steps of a Trading System to Unlock Wealth
The key to trading profit is to cut losses when wrong and let profits run when right, achieving small losses and big gains. It is specifically divided into five steps:
1. Follow the Trend Use simple moving averages to distinguish between bullish and bearish. Buy when the price is above the moving average and sell when it is below, closely following the market's major trend.
2. Open a Trial Position Go with the trend, following the major trend while countering the minor trend. When selecting an entry point, focus on the potential risk-reward ratio, entering at the bottom or early stage of the trend, cutting losses small when wrong and gaining large when right.
3. Strict Stop Loss If a key level is broken, you must cut losses; do not entertain false hopes or average down your losses. If the price returns to the ideal range, you can enter again.
4. Adding to Winning Positions This is the core of making big money. After a price rise, when it retraces, add to your position at the support level or just before breaking the previous high, following the major trend while countering the minor trend. After adding to the position, move your stop loss point; if it fails, cut losses on the added position and wait for the next opportunity; if it continues to rise, hold the position and add again on the next pullback, moving the stop loss until a stop loss is triggered or a head signal appears to take profit.
5. Reasonable Profit Taking Do not easily take profits; exiting can be done in batches or all at once, waiting for high-probability head signals. Right-side trading requires acceptance of floating profit pullbacks; do not chase selling at the highest point.
Master these principles and strictly adhere to the discipline, and profits will naturally follow.
