Crypto market turnaround is not a dream, but most people treat opportunities as gambling. I’ve seen a buddy who entered the market with 20,000 USD, went all in, and when it rose 3%, he wanted to take profits; when it dropped 8%, he stubbornly held on without cutting. As a result, he was repeatedly shaken out in the volatile market, ending up with only 5,000 USD, shouting every day, "This circle is too dark."

I sat down with him for a talk, and the core message was: In the crypto world, you don’t make money just by being brave; it’s about having real skills—reading trends, managing risks, and timing the moves.

Later, he started adjusting according to the methods I taught:

**First trick, act only when the trend is confirmed.** During sideways movements, volume is dead and silent; there’s no sign of genuine accumulation by the big players. Entering at this point is just giving away money. For example, recently BTC repeatedly tested the 42,500 resistance level. I told him not to act recklessly, just wait for the "volume breakout" signal. Once the signal was confirmed, he placed orders in advance, and five days later, he made 28%. He finally understood that waiting patiently is more profitable than rushing blindly.

**Second trick, only add to positions with floating profits.** Keep the initial position at 6% of the account, and consider rolling over only when profits exceed 30%. Once, he wanted to add to his AVAX position to lower the average cost, but I stopped him immediately. I said, "Don’t gamble on luck; use the money you’ve already earned to roll over, not on fantasies of money you haven’t yet secured." He listened, and three weeks later, AVAX rebounded 35%, doubling his original small position, and the plan to add more was completely abandoned.

**Third trick, tiered take-profit.** I taught him the "6-3-1 rule": lock in 60% at the target to protect the principal, keep 30% to follow the trend for the next move, and leave 10% as a "wild growth" for profits. Last month, when UNI surged, he didn’t greedily sell everything; he kept 30% according to the rule. As a result, the market moved another 22% higher. He later realized this and exclaimed, "Luckily I listened to advice."

Now, this buddy doesn’t stay up all night watching the charts. By following trends and strictly executing strategies, he turned 20,000 USD into 450,000 USD. The crypto market isn’t short of opportunities and coins—LTC, UNI, and others all have potential. What’s missing is discipline, patience, and the ability to follow a rhythm. Trading is like that; discipline and patience are more valuable than anything else.
