#ETH走势分析 Having been in the crypto space for these years, I've seen too many people make a fortune in a bull market, only to give it all back in a bear market. I've been at this for over eight years, fallen into countless traps along the way, and only finally figured out a survival strategy. If you’ve been trading for over a year but still aren’t making progress, you might want to check out these real-world takeaways—



Let’s start with capital management. If your account holds less than 200,000, stop trying to catch every single market move. Catching just one real major uptrend a year is enough; for the rest of the time, it’s best to stay light or even in cash. Many people lose everything because they can’t stand not being fully invested.

The word “cognition” is overused, but it’s the truth. You’ll never make money beyond your level of understanding. I suggest beginners train their mentality with a paper trading account first—a simulated account lets you “die” a hundred times, but real money could wipe you out in one go.

The market’s reaction to good news is interesting. If you haven’t exited on the day of a major positive announcement, you must decisively sell on the high open the next day. The adage “good news turns into bad news when it lands” never fails in crypto.

Before every major holiday, I always reduce my positions a week in advance. Look at the historical data—you’ll see that nine times out of ten, the market drops during holidays.

The core of mid-to-long-term strategies is just four words: rolling operations. Always keep enough cash on hand; sell in batches when prices are high, buy in batches when they drop sharply. Never use up all your ammunition at once.

For short-term trading, volume and candlestick patterns are key. Only focus on assets with high volatility and active turnover; avoid the stagnant ones.

The pace of a drop can predict the strength of the rebound—a slow drop leads to a sluggish rebound; a sharp drop often brings a strong bounce.

There’s no shame in making a bad buy; stubbornly holding on is what’s truly foolish. Cutting losses in time to protect your capital is more important than anything else. Without capital, the best opportunities mean nothing to you.

For short-term trading, the 15-minute candlestick chart is a must, and combining it with the KDJ indicator can help you find great entry and exit points.

One last thing: there are thousands of trading techniques and strategies, but you only need to master two or three. Don’t bite off more than you can chew—being highly skilled in a few effective methods is a hundred times better than knowing a little about everything but excelling at nothing.

So true, going all-in is really a terrible habit. --- Selling on a gap-up the day after good news—I have to admit, that works. --- Reducing positions before holidays has honestly saved me more than once. --- Cutting losses is easy to say but really hard to do. --- Eight years of experience summed up in a few sentences—worth it. --- Rolling trades sound simple but actually require the right mindset. --- Using KDJ with a 15-minute chart is actually pretty good, I’ve tried it. --- One liquidation can kick you out of the game—this joke is painfully real. --- I never touch assets with dead trading volume either. --- Mastering two or three moves is way better than being mediocre at everything.

Absolutely right, I’ve managed to fix my problem of going all-in. Now I’m just waiting for a major market move. This time I’m really just waiting for a main upward wave, lying low the rest of the time. If I don’t sell on the day of good news, I usually sell the next day—this approach has never failed me. Cutting positions before holidays has definitely saved me more than once. I just focus on ETH’s 15-minute chart. I really can’t make sense of anything else. I used to want to understand everything, but ended up making nothing. Now, focusing on just two strategies feels much better. Stop-loss is crucial—without principal, nothing else matters. For short-term trades, I just watch the volume and the patterns. Nailing these two is enough.

Those who went all in must be bleeding badly now. Should have listened to this perspective earlier. --- What you said is spot on, just hard to execute. I lost because I couldn't let go. --- "Good news means run" is so accurate, I fall for it every time. --- Summing up this logic after eight years, it's definitely clearer than most people. --- Why didn't I think of reducing my position before the holidays? --- Cutting losses is the hardest. Those who couldn't bring themselves to sell during a drop never survived. --- KDJ with the 15-minute chart—I’ve tried this combo, actually works pretty well. --- Mastering two or three things is better than knowing a bit of everything. That really opened my eyes. --- The advice to use a paper account to practice mindset is extremely valuable. --- Catching a major uptrend once a year is enough to make money. The question is, can you catch it?

That's right, going all-in does tend to get you into trouble. I've suffered losses from this bad habit before. ---- This rolling operation strategy is really top-notch, much more reliable than when I used to go all-in. ---- Good news turning into bad news after being realized—I've been backstabbed by this over and over, so now I've learned my lesson. ---- 15-minute K-lines with KDJ are truly my lifesaver; my recovery depends entirely on them. ---- Stop-loss is easy to talk about but hard to execute. It's really tough to cut losses when you're down 30%. ---- Reducing positions before holidays is a brilliant move. I've followed this for a year and avoided a lot of pitfalls. ---- Practicing mentality with a simulated account is really great advice. I should have done this much earlier. ---- Your cognitive ceiling is your earning ceiling—I strongly agree. I've lost out several times simply because I didn't understand. ---- If you're trading short-term, only go for highly volatile assets. Don't touch the dead ones no matter how cheap they get—that's a painful lesson. ---- Catching just one main uptrend a year is actually enough to win. I was greedy and tried to catch every wave, and ended up getting cut every time.

What you said is absolutely right, but what I fear most is knowing what to do but not being able to do it, especially when it comes to cutting losses in time... Compared to being in cash, what I fear more is missing out on the main upward trend when I'm out of the market. I practiced on a demo account for half a year, but still got slapped in the face with real money—nobody can avoid this. Rolling operations sound easy, but my hands shake like crazy when actually trading. Cutting positions before holidays is indeed ruthless, it's been proven every year. That saying about selling on good news is just too real, I always regret not being decisive enough. Blowing all my ammo at once is my chronic problem, can't seem to fix it. I've used those short-term KDJ indicators, but the market often goes beyond expectations. If my stop loss is set too tight, I get stopped out; set too loose and I risk liquidation. The key is still mindset—techniques can be learned, it's just the lack of execution. Eight years of experience really makes a difference, unlike us who just keep paying tuition.

Makes sense, holding on stubbornly is really a big taboo. --- How are those all-in people doing now? If you ask, they're just stuck. --- I can really relate to using a simulation account to practice mentality—you really have to "die" a hundred times to wise up. --- Selling on the second day after good news when the price opens high—I've used that trick before, a lot of people fall for it. --- I always forget to reduce my position before holidays, then I get burned. The lesson is too painful. --- KDJ with a 15-minute chart—it's just so-so, you still have to look at the big trend. --- Some people just can never break the habit of going all in, and suffer every day. --- Mastering two or three moves is really better than knowing everything. Being too greedy is asking for trouble. --- Rolling operations sound easy, but it takes a lot of mental strength to actually do it. --- Cutting losses sounds simple but is hard to do—everyone feels the pain when taking a loss.

So true, going all-in is really a fatal flaw. I took it seriously, but I didn't manage my stop-loss well before. One liquidation and I was out of the game. If you don't sell on the day of the good news, it'll gap up and dump the next day. I've fallen into this trap too many times. I've been using the 15-minute chart with KDJ for two years; it's still somewhat useful.

Sold on the day of the good news, was totally stunned seeing the price gap up the next day. This operation is truly something else. I've had that "uncomfortable unless fully loaded" syndrome before. Now I'm just fully in cash for peace of mind. Eight years of experience summed up well, but I've heard these theories too many times—the key is still execution. Rolling operations sound easy, but when it comes to actually splitting orders, your mentality collapses. Who doesn't want to go all in at once? As for cutting losses in time, I only learned after losing money about ten times. Capital is the real king.
