Spot trading has never been about the buy point in determining returns
This Gate spot trade may not look spectacular, and in fact, it experienced a slight pullback in the first few days after buying. But looking back, what truly made a difference was not how precisely I timed the bottom, but why I dared to buy in the first place and why I didn’t sell later on.

The logic at the time was simple: the trend was intact, sentiment was retreating, and chips were stable. The price wasn’t at the lowest point but was in a “mispriced” range. Many would wait for an even lower price, but the market rarely

Participating in and holding NIGHT is more like a mental training
The process of participating in NIGHT is actually a refinement of trading mindset. It doesn't involve continuous surges to create FOMO, nor does it rely heavily on sudden news to stimulate emotions. This forces you to reflect: are you trading the price, or are you trading the emotion?

When engaging in related discussions on Gate Square, you can clearly feel that those who truly follow NIGHT long-term focus more on logic, rhythm, and cycles rather than short-term ups and downs. This community atmosphere itself is pa

Why am I not trading frequently on NIGHT despite active participation?
During my actual involvement with NIGHT, I deliberately reduced the frequency of my trades. The reason is simple: its volatility rhythm is not suitable for high-frequency entry and exit, and it’s easier to be eroded by fees and emotions during oscillations.
I prefer to enter with small positions when market attention wanes and discussion cools down, and gradually reduce my holdings when emotions heat up and prices approach previous highs. Although this approach may seem “slow,” it significantly increases tolerance for error

From historical experience, divergence in non-farm payrolls often serves as a "buffer" for risk assets.
Looking back at history, whenever non-farm data shows a combination of "moderate job gains, rising unemployment rate, and falling wages," risk assets tend not to decline immediately. Instead, they often enter a period of valuation recovery. The reason is simple: such data weakens the logic of "continued policy tightening" but does not trigger panic about "economic recession."
This is especially true for the crypto market. Crypto assets do not rely directly on employment figures but

The correct mindset for Launchpad from KDK: Don't treat the "first-day price change" as the final outcome
Many new users participate in Launchpad, and the biggest misconception is focusing only on the price fluctuations on the first day of listing. In fact, the first-day price more reflects emotional density rather than project value. Whether KDK is worth continuous attention depends mainly on whether it can maintain discussion and use cases after launch.
Gate's Launchpad projects often go through three stages: emotion release → token turnover → re-pricing of value. Opportu

Exquisite merchandise is the realization of emotional value
Many veteran players complain: what’s the use of merchandise? But if you have participated in multiple platforms, you will find that not many actually put effort into making good merchandise.
Gate’s merchandise lottery essentially materializes the “platform companionship” feeling. Gold bars address material incentives, while merchandise fosters emotional connection. When you receive a physical item, you realize: you are not just an anonymous address, but a user remembered by the platform. This experience, in turn, enha

Making money in "boring markets" with grid trading is true skill
This time, the grid was set very "boringly." At that time, the coin price had been consolidating for several days, and community discussion was extremely low, but I thought this was an environment suitable for grid trading. My logic is: trend markets rely on judgment, while ranging markets rely on mechanisms.

I set a relatively conservative medium-density grid, deliberately widening the upper and lower boundaries, preferring fewer transactions rather than being wiped out by a false breakout. During the process, the mark

The trend has emerged, but the market still needs a "confirmation period"
Overall, I believe this set of divergence data leans more towards a trend signal rather than pure noise, but it is not yet sufficient to confirm a policy turning point on its own. Unemployment rate, wages, and previous value revisions have already indicated a direction, but continuous validation from subsequent data is still needed.

The market is currently in a delicate stage: expectations have started to shift, but confidence has not yet been fully established. This will lead to a market performance characte

Participating in NIGHT tests your mindset more than your speed
The biggest takeaway from participating in NIGHT is: this is not an asset suitable for frequent tinkering. Although there are price fluctuations, they do not continuously present opportunities, which can actually drain patience more easily. In terms of Gate trading experience, liquidity and depth are decent, and executing strategies is not difficult.
But from an participation perspective, it’s more important to control position expectations. If you treat NIGHT as a short-term speculative coin, it’s easy to be disappoin

#市场触底了吗？
Whether the market has bottomed out is not important; your position structure is what matters.
Instead of worrying about "whether the market is at the bottom," ask yourself: Can your current position structure withstand the next dip? During the correction phase of mainstream coins, the biggest risk is not that prices continue to fall, but that positions are too heavy and there is no room to maneuver.
My current strategy is: keep a core position in mainstream coins but never go all-in; during the correction, only make T+0 trades or short-term reductions at key points, then replenish.

Grid trading turns time into profit in a choppy market
In the recent relatively volatile market, I opened a neutral grid on Gate. The strategy's goal is not to bet on the direction, but to use oscillations to obtain deterministic returns. The interval is set quite conservatively, deliberately avoiding positions that might experience a one-sided breakout. As expected, the market repeatedly pulls back and forth, and the grid continues to execute trades. Although individual profits are not high, the overall curve is very smooth.
Reflecting on this grid operation, my biggest takeaway is:

Standing at $2949, ETH's true test is "execution capability"
Many traders hesitate around $2949: bullish but afraid to buy, bearish but reluctant to sell. This is actually the most typical psychological state in a ranging market. From a game theory perspective, what the main force hopes to see most is this collective hesitation.

On the technical level, the short-term support and resistance are not at $2949, but below at $2850 and above at $3050. Once the range is effectively broken, the direction will become truly clear. Until then, frequently guessing the top or bottom only increas

Non-farm payroll data exceeds expectations, causing short-term disturbances; the medium-term logic remains unchanged.
From a macro perspective, the biggest impact of the better-than-expected non-farm data is to delay the easing pace, rather than change the direction.
The current economic state is still "reducing inflation without recession," which is the phase that risk assets fear the most but is also the most common. The market is difficult to rise quickly and fall sharply, but prone to repeated tug-of-war. For the crypto market, this environment means: high leverage and high senti

The wins and losses in contract trading review are not important; rules are the most important.

For this contract trade, I chose a light position and followed the trend. The goal was not to make quick money but to verify my judgment.
At the time, the market was at the lower end of the oscillation. I did not bet on a "V reversal," but waited for the structure to be confirmed before entering. I set stop-loss and take-profit levels before entering. During the process, the price fluctuated in the opposite direction at times, but it never hit the stop-loss line. I also deliberately avoided watchin
