From 3,000 to 3 million, a hundredfold increase in half a year. No insider information, no catching the crazy bull market, purely relying on a set of relentless methodology.
To put it simply, I treat trading as a level-breaking challenge — each stage has its routines to overcome, and you can only move to the next after passing this level. Today, I share 6 market observation insights. Mastering one can help you lose less, and three can basically leave most retail investors behind.
**1. Fast rise and slow fall are signals of shakeout**
$ZEC, $ETH and other popular coins often show rapid surges and sluggish declines. Don’t rush to cut losses; that’s the market manipulators digging a trap. When the top is truly in, after a volume-driven spike, it will drop in a "free fall," making it impossible to catch the bottom.
**2. Beware of sharp drops followed by weak rebounds**
A weak rebound after a flash crash may seem like a bargain, but it could be the final harvest. Thinking "it can’t fall much more" will only lead to faster losses. At this point, the market manipulators are secretly slipping away.
**3. High volume at the top means there’s still hope; no volume means trouble**
If trading volume remains at the top, it indicates a chance to push further; if suddenly there’s no volume at high levels, it’s the calm before the collapse.
**4. Watch volume at the bottom in stages**
A single huge volume spike might just be bait. The real sign of accumulation is: first some oscillation, then continuous volume increases. Only then are the manipulators truly collecting positions.
**5. Trading volume is the thermometer of market sentiment**
K-line charts show you the trend outcome, but volume reflects the true sentiment. Low volume indicates little attention; high volume means funds are rushing in. Grasping this rhythm is more important than just technical analysis.
**6. No tricks win over tricks; obsession is the source of losses**
Know when to be out of the market, and when to buy the dip — stay calm and steady. This isn’t about lying flat, but about embodying the highest realm of trading discipline.
Opportunities in the crypto market are indeed plentiful, but most people lack not opportunities, but the resolve to control their hands and see the situation clearly. Hesitation will cause you to miss the next wave; decisive action is the only way to profit in this cycle.

Fast rise and slow fall, I keep getting stuck on this, really, looking at this post feels like it hit me right in the heart.
Bro, this set of logic is indeed excellent, especially the fifth point about the volume thermometer. I used to only look at K-lines and kept losing, but now that I started paying attention to volume, I’m gradually coming back to life.
But honestly, controlling your hands is harder than anything else. I’m still learning.

That's right, but I find that most people simply can't follow the sixth rule. They are the kind of people who have itchy hands; when they see a decline, they want to buy in, and when they see a rise, they are afraid of chasing the high. As a result, they always end up losing the most by doing the opposite of what they should.

Hmm... from 3,000 to 3 million, I've heard this story too many times. The key is whether you really make money or just lose more.
Wait, is a slow rise and quick fall just a shakeout? I remember last time it moved like this, it directly broke through the bottom.
That weak rebound and harvest talk is pretty harsh, but I feel like I'm just dying here.
The volume thermometer is okay, at least it can't be fooled by the trading volume, but the candlestick charts fool us a thousand times.
Controlling your hands is really difficult. It sounds easy, but when the price drops, your mind just flies away.
I believe in "no tricks win over tricks," but how many liquidation experiences does it take to realize that?

It's all about mentality. It looks like the right theory, but as soon as you get in the car, you can't hold on, and rushing to buy the dip ends up getting your house taken away.
---
Nice words, but most people haven't just gone all-in at the moment of "sharp decline and weak rebound," then self-hypnotize that this is the final harvest.
---
Fast rise, slow fall, high-volume trading... Honestly, the biggest problem for retail investors isn't that they don't understand these, but that even if they do, they can't control their hands.
---
I respect the phrase "no move wins over having a move," but very few dare to be completely out of the market. Most of the time, they're forced to be out.
---
Going from 3,000 to 3 million sounds great, but this kind of sharing is actually the most dangerous—making people think they can also do it through "insights," only to die even faster.
---
The volume thermometer analogy is okay, but the problem is you have to live until you see the temperature clearly.
---
What I hate most is the kind of words like "you can make money without rushing," easy to say, but every minute when doing it, you're calculating how much you've lost.

Half-year hundredfold kind of talk... but I have to say, the volume and momentum tools do have some merit, the key is still to control yourself.
---
I've seen too many cases of quick rise and slow fall, but how many can truly hold on without cutting? Most are just scaring themselves.
---
The saying "No move wins over all moves" is brilliant. Basically, it means don't be greedy; holding cash is also a form of position management.
---
The point about increasing volume at the bottom is correct. Those who rush in with huge volume in a single shot have been cut once before, so they'll be more cautious next time.
---
Attention all retail investors, the weakest rebound is the easiest to get wiped out. Really, I've seen too many who took the last hit.
---
No matter how fancy the technical analysis sounds, it’s useless. Volume can't be fooled; where the money flows, you should be aware.
---
The problem is, those who can follow these six rules are no longer retail investors. Most people are still caught in the dead cycle of chasing gains and selling losses.
---
I deeply understand the sharp decline and weak rebound phase... how many times have I thought the bottom was in only to see a bloodbath continue? The big players are really just waiting for you to be most desperate before they harvest.

Hmm... 30,000 to 3 million, it sounds pretty outrageous, but why should I believe it?
The volume part is okay, but everything else feels like armchair quarterbacking after the fact.
When it comes to actually trading, how can anyone be so clear-headed? Greed and fear can mess with your mind.
It's easy to say, but hard to do, brother. I just want to know how you handled the last time you lost money.
The idea of quick rise and slow fall can only be eaten a few times; it seems like an overinterpretation of candlestick charts.
Controlling your hands is indeed the truth, but there are very few who can do it in this world, including me.
Try this methodology in 2022, and it will still crack.

Damn, this theory sounds just like another "I earn 100,000 a month" story, it's hard to tell if it's true or not.
