I recently came across an interesting trading case. This friend consulted me in the morning about the market trend after the sharp decline yesterday. To be honest, the logic at that time was very clear: after the sell-off, the price had already returned to a relatively low level, and with some short-term fluctuations, there was a high probability of another upward move. From a structural perspective, around 0.6 is a better entry point for long positions.



But here’s the problem—this friend mainly relies on intuition for trading, with no plan and no rhythm. What was the result? The position didn’t seem large, but he ended up losing over one million. It sounds exaggerated, but this is actually common in the crypto market.

Why does this happen? Because the essence of crypto trading is right there: high volatility, emotion-driven, high risk. Simply put, the market is a game of capital, and those who lack understanding are always the ones being harvested. If you don’t understand candlestick structures or the flow of funds, and only chase rallies and sell on dips, losing money is really just a matter of time.

The market will never sympathize with you. It only recognizes one thing—whether you can read its rhythm and stay calm amid volatility. Traders driven by feelings often meet similar fates in the end.

Losing millions is all your own fault for lacking discipline—that's the cruelty of the crypto world.

Relying on intuition to trade and losing over a million without learning a lesson—that's the daily life in the crypto world, hilarious. People without a plan or rhythm come in just to be harvested, which is no surprise. Talking about building positions at 0.6 is just talk; those who really know how to make money have already quietly bottomed out. If you can't read candlestick charts, don't force it, or you'll end up crying. The market is ruthless; emotional trading will inevitably lead to liquidation. Look at this guy still analyzing, really thinking he's a big V. Losing so much and still dare to come out and teach? I really respect that. Not everyone is suitable for trading, you know.

Intuitive trading is a trap. Over a million dollars just disappeared like that, this is the true reflection of crypto. No plan, no discipline. No matter how good the market conditions are, it can't save you. I've seen too many people like this. Still daring to go all-in despite not understanding candlestick charts. No wonder you're being harvested. The market is never soft-hearted. That 0.6 level was indeed a good idea, but most people simply couldn't wait. Trading feels like a disease. After losing so much, it still can't be cured.

Intuitive trading is indeed slow suicide, there's nothing more to say. Playing by feel, you'll eventually have to pay the tuition. Over a million just gone like that, feeling-based traders really deserve it. If you don't understand the structure, don't touch it; the market is not a casino. Planning and discipline—if you don't have these two, don't play.
