#ETH走势分析 That business deal eight years ago left me deep in debt. Yesterday, when I saw over 300,000 in sudden profits hit my account, I was eerily calm—in hindsight, all that excitement I once longed for now just feels like noise.



After so many years in the crypto market, rolling borrowed startup funds into what I have now, I’ve never come across any insider information, nor did I catch the legendary super bull market. I just kept repeating a few dumb strategies until I was sick of them, until they became muscle memory.

I’ve been liquidated, cut my losses, and hovered on the brink of despair countless times. For over three thousand days and nights, I’ve done just one thing: treated trading like slaying monsters, pushing through each level by brute force.

Here are six hard rules I’ve learned over the years:

**Rule 1: Volume Determines Direction**
A sharp rally followed by a gentle pullback? Most likely the main players are accumulating. If there’s a sudden plunge after a sharp rally, that’s the real massacre signal.

**Rule 2: Flash Crashes Are Razor Sharp**
When prices drop fast and hard but recover sluggishly, it’s usually distribution. A rebound after a flash crash? That’s a trap, not an opportunity.

**Rule 3: Low Volume at Highs Is Deadly**
Heavy volume at the top doesn’t always mean a crash, but long periods of sideways trading with low volume at the highs often signal the suffocating calm before the storm.

**Rule 4: Bottoms Need Repeated Confirmation**
A single burst of volume doesn’t count. Only after extended consolidation with low volume, followed by another wave of heavy volume and price surge, is it truly time to build a position.

**Rule 5: Trading Volume Is the Market’s ECG**
All the emotion is hidden in the volume—low volume means a cold, wait-and-see attitude, high volume means capital is surging. If you can read the volume, you can read the market’s pulse.

**Rule 6: Resetting Your Mindset Is the Ultimate Weapon**
Dare to sit in cash instead of forcing trades; refuse to chase pumps, avoid greed; conquer fear, and dare to buy the bottom. This isn’t passive Zen—it’s the highest level of trading mentality.

In this market, opportunities are never lacking; what’s lacking is a stable mindset and execution. Most people don’t lose because of speed, but because they’re blindly stumbling in the dark.

I’ve made enough mistakes to want to share these lessons. The market is brewing new volatility—don’t keep fumbling around alone in the dark.

Your mindset is truly top-tier. I’m learning to stay out of the market and not get itchy hands. Watching the trading volume can really save you—before, I got stuck because I didn’t read it right. The six rules sound simple, but not many can truly stick to them. I often break down myself. Over three thousand days and nights—now that’s real discipline. Going from debt to a comeback sounds easy, but the process is insane. People like this have the most authority to speak. The trading volume as an ECG analogy is perfect—just by looking at the volume, you know if the money is there. I’ve fallen into the flash crash trap before. When there’s a rebound, it’s tempting to rush in, but it’s so easy to crash and burn. A broken mindset feels even worse than losing money—I totally get you, brother.

This mindset is truly remarkable—it's even harder to achieve than making money itself.

Honestly, mindset is the hardest part. I've seen too many people become even more anxious after making money. --- Eight years just to earn 300,000—it’s somewhat worth it, but not really. To put it plainly, the time cost is just too high. --- What you said about volume is right. I've fallen into the trap of low-volume sideways markets countless times, now I just pass when I see them. --- That last sentence really hit me—the truth is, most of the time you’re just fumbling around alone in the dark. If you’re lucky, you stumble into money; if not, you get liquidated. --- I have an issue with that point about bottom confirmation. Sometimes if you wait, you just miss out. Are we supposed to wait three months for volume to shrink? --- Being in cash is really the hardest. You always feel like you’re missing out, but what you miss is actually the safest. --- Out of the six rules, the sixth is the toughest. Sounds simple, but actually doing it is hell-level difficulty. --- My problem is I can never tell if it’s accumulation or a trap. It feels like I always guess wrong. --- This all sounds great in theory, but when it comes to actually trading, emotions still take over. Learned nothing.

The pattern has formed; now it depends on whether the subsequent volume can keep up.

From being in debt to having 300,000, my mindset has actually become calmer instead—that's the real level-up.

In debt of over 300,000, this turning point is really something. But when it comes to mindset, I feel like it's being talked about in a way that's too abstract. When it really comes down to it, how many people can actually reset their mindset to zero at a critical moment?
