Ten days, the account grew 25 times.

Reflecting on this experience, I realize there's something many people tend to overlook: it's not luck, but a series of correct decisions made at the right moments.

Let's start with the most aggressive move. When FIL and AIA were around $20, the market sentiment was extremely bullish, everyone was chasing, and I took a contrarian short position. Not based on gut feeling, but because the chart structure already gave the answer. The price retraced all the way down to $8, and this trade earned me 280,000 USDT.

The next day, it was ZEC's turn. Entered at $500. This time, I didn't go all-in and gamble everything; I waited until the trend was confirmed before executing. When it surged to $648, I exited, pocketing another 460,000 USDT.

Looking at FIL's rebound, on-chain data shows large funds kept entering at the bottom, not retail investors. I didn't go all-in directly but tested the waters with a small position around $1,000. Once volume, price, and structure aligned positively, I added to the position, but only during the most certain part of the trend. I took profits around $2.6 and walked away, not greedy for the last bit.

During these ten days, I repeatedly focused on three things:

1. Not taking sides when emotions are at their peak.

2. Not over-leveraging before confirming signals.

3. Exiting immediately once the expected profit is reached.

Our key focus when analyzing the market is never about predicting the direction of price movement, but about understanding the structure, volume, and what the funds are doing. The market doesn't require you to fight it to the death; it only rewards those who are well-prepared, willing to execute, and know when to take profits.

New signals are emerging now. But this time, not everyone is suited to follow. Those who lack proper position management will be shaken out during volatility. Those without disciplined stop-loss strategies will give back all their profits.

Ultimately, the winners are often not the most aggressive traders, but the clearest-headed ones. Whether you want to participate or not depends on—do you truly want to survive long-term in this market?
