#以太坊行情解读 Last year, my friend A Wei started in the crypto world with 20,000 yuan, thinking only about quickly doubling his money and making a big profit.

But within two weeks, he had a crash — blindly chasing after niche assets at high prices, losing 6,000 yuan. Seeing this, I sat down with him and explained a set of strategies: allocate 50% to mainstream coins as the foundation, 20% to secondary mainstream coins, and keep the remaining 30% as cash reserves to handle uncertainties.

I started teaching him the basics. I showed him how to read trend lines to gauge market sentiment, and how to identify support levels that can truly hold by analyzing historical dense zones. The most important thing is to stick to discipline — only try small positions when the price pulls back to support levels and trading volume significantly decreases. If the price breaks support by more than 3%, cut losses immediately — no excuses.

By March, mainstream coins had dropped to the 20,000 yuan mark, and A Wei panicked.

I advised him to switch to the weekly chart to look at historical data and told him that panic markets often hide opportunities. He hesitated but invested 3,000 yuan, setting a stop-loss as I instructed. Over the next four months, the market oscillated and moved sideways repeatedly. A Wei couldn’t sit still watching the charts and kept trying to trade frequently.

I set strict rules for him: only check the market once a week, and absolutely avoid touching unfamiliar altcoins — this is the bottom line for survival in investing.

At the beginning of this year, the market really took off, with prices rising from over 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. A Wei couldn’t sit still anymore and wanted to go all-in. I hit the brakes in time and suggested he withdraw his principal to lock in gains, and only use profits to continue trading.

In April, the market corrected, falling back to 25,000 yuan. Because he had already withdrawn his principal in advance, he truly understood the importance of risk management — holding onto his principal gave him peace of mind.

In May, the price broke through 40,000 yuan. Following his pre-planned partial profit-taking, he not only recovered all previous losses but also earned over 10,000 yuan in net profit.

Now he often says, "Making money in crypto isn’t about how frequently you trade, but about whether you can wait and endure."

This experience made me realize one thing: the market is never short of stories about getting rich; what’s lacking is the proper respect for the market. Protecting your principal, mastering a scientific approach, and gradually accumulating — that’s the real secret to surviving long in this market.

For newcomers just entering, finding a reliable mentor is really important — only through guidance in the confusion of investing can you find your direction.
