Who says you have to rely on technology or big players to make money in crypto? I'm 38 years old and settled in Hangzhou, with two properties in hand—one for living and one for renting. Now, I can leave whenever I want without working, fully achieving the freedom to live a laid-back life! After ten years in the crypto world, starting from losing down to 20,000, and now comfortably lying flat, I deeply understand: the crypto space has never been a casino, but rather a battleground of cognition and discipline. Those who can profit for the long term and stand firm are never relying on luck; they depend on clear awareness and ironclad self-discipline. Today, I'm revealing my six survival rules to help you avoid 90% of the pitfalls and save you years of detours. 1. Slow rises and small drops ≠ weakness; panic only comes from rapid rises and falls. If the market slowly climbs and the pullbacks never exceed 10%, it's highly likely a healthy trend worth holding patiently; but if there’s a sudden surge of over 20% followed by an immediate drop, it’s nine times out of ten the main force “cutting quickly.” Don't be led by FOMO emotions; calm judgment is much more reliable than impulsively entering the market. 2. The louder the calls to buy a coin, the further you should stay away. As long as someone is shouting in the group every day, "Must go up 10 times" or "Missed out, slap your thigh," no matter how many seemingly tempting profit screenshots they show, we will resolutely not touch it. Truly valuable projects don’t need “brainwashing marketing” to attract people; popularity ≠ value, don’t let the noise disturb your judgment. $ETH 3. Only invest 30% of your principal to enter the market; never go all in. No matter how optimistic you are about a coin, invest at most 30% of your total assets. The remaining 70% is a safety net for extreme market conditions, it’s your lifeline. Those who go all in can be completely out after just one big drop—surviving in the crypto world is more important than making quick money. $BTC
Bitcoin experienced a tempting rebound yesterday, catching shorts off guard with a quick pullback, but the uptrend is difficult to maintain. Today, it has once again fallen back, highlighting that the bears still hold the initiative. The four-hour cycle shows that after reaching the median line, the price was unable to stabilize, subsequently recording a bearish candle and falling back into the middle-lower range, with bearish momentum continuing to be released and obvious short-term pressure. In terms of operation, one should follow the trend and adopt a short-selling strategy on rallies. Focus on the 69500–70000 key resistance zone for entry opportunities. Targets look towards the 65000 mark. At the same time, set a defense level to control downside risk. The short-term trend basically confirms previous judgments, likely maintaining a wide-ranging fluctuation pattern. However, the overall major trend remains in a downward channel, with rebounds more as technical corrections rather than trend reversal signals. Therefore, each rebound can be viewed as a good opportunity to short, but strict discipline must be followed, with proper stop-loss measures in place to guard against intensified short-term fluctuations. The movement of Ethereum is highly synchronized with Bitcoin, and currently, there are no signs of independent行情 or trend reversal. The operational logic can refer to Bitcoin, focusing on shorting on rallies and waiting for a clear bottom pattern to form before adjusting strategies. $BTC
Too many people rush into the cryptocurrency world, filled with dreams of getting rich overnight, only seeing fantasies of a hundredfold or thousandfold return, yet never considering that the blind and reckless approach often leads to substantial losses. Today, I’m laying it out plainly: If you want to get rich, that’s fine, who enters the cryptocurrency world not wanting to earn more money? But never gamble blindly or rush in recklessly! After ten years in the cryptocurrency scene, I’ve gone from losing most of my 20,000 to crawling back up, starting with just a few thousand U. I’m neither a big investor nor a tycoon, just an ordinary retail investor in this space. And now, my account balance has long surpassed 30 million. You might question it or find it hard to believe, but this is the reality I’ve built step by step with steady efforts! I never get greedy about how much I can make in one go; I only focus on whether I should engage in this market condition and whether I can manage it. Sticking to discipline is more important than anything else. Many brothers ask me how I turned a few thousand U into significant funds step by step. Today, I will share my years of trading insights without reservation, so that ordinary people can avoid pitfalls and earn steadily: First stage: Position control practice. 1200 U divided into 4 parts, 300 U per position, with strict stop-loss and take-profit settings for each trade; no chasing trades, no holding against the trend, only taking opportunities I understand and can manage, first preserving capital, then making money. Second stage: Increasing positions with profit. After the account reaches 20,000 U, each trade is controlled at about 25% of the total position; if a market trend moves favorably, I will add positions in batches, without being greedy or rushing in, only capturing the middle golden segment of the trend, and taking profits when they appear. Third stage: Taking profits and withdrawing funds. After the account exceeds 150,000, I start locking in a portion of the profits weekly for withdrawal. It’s not that I’m afraid of losses; I’m afraid of getting carried away and forgetting my original intention, repeating the mistake of losing down to 20,000. Remember, stability is the greatest profit! The fundamental reasons most people face liquidation boil down to three points: chaotic position control, no stop-loss leading to total loss, and dying while holding against the trend despite being on the right side. $ETH A follower who followed me from 800 U to 15,000 U just withdrew yesterday, so excited he couldn’t sleep until midnight, we talked for two hours on the phone. Watching his growth, I’m also deeply gratified; this is the power of discipline and patience!
To be honest, the trading method I'm currently using is particularly simple, without any fancy techniques. With small capital, it's normal to steadily earn 300–700U in a day; this is not some myth of getting rich quickly, but a reality that I and the people around me have repeatedly verified. As long as there is volatility in the market, I can steadily 'take money' from it, without betting on the market, relying on luck, or depending on others' signals. In fact, many times, I don't wait for complex signals, don't draw lines for analysis, and don't keep an eye on the market all day; even during sideways fluctuations, I can still make a profit. You read that right; the core of my model is to 'take money steadily.' It is a systematic approach to managing the rhythm of trading, with a very cold-blooded logic and mechanical operations, where emotions have no place in this system. How ridiculous is it? A brother who followed me saw his account triple in 30 days, and he directly cashed out and bought a car; there's also a complete novice who started with 1500U and within less than a month grew it to 5600U, without a single losing trade, steadily profiting. I can say with full responsibility: 95% of retail investors fail in the same way - they may have the right direction but get the position control wrong, and their take-profit and stop-loss strategies are often reversed, leading to substantial losses despite correctly predicting the market. The people I guide don’t need to be exceptionally smart; they just need to do three things: be open to advice, understand the rhythm, and strictly execute. Many people think the core of trading is strategy, indicators, or models, but that’s not true at all. What truly matters are four things: rhythm control, position layout, position adjustment, and exit plans. I could write a lot of valuable content on these topics, but to be honest, not many people can truly understand or implement it once written down. Only by personally practicing it once will you realize that it is completely different from the kind of speculation that bets on price increases or decreases. Stop being superstitious about luck; I've seen too many people who think the next trade will turn things around, only to end up with one win and three losses, draining their hopes and depleting their capital. The cryptocurrency market has never lacked opportunities to make money; what it lacks is a clear sense of direction and the correct exit logic. Find the right method and stick to the discipline, and even small capital can gradually grow into substantial profits.
The cryptocurrency market has been outrageous these days! Market liquidity is terrible, and various uncertainties are piling up, making traders numb... But with BTC breaking the historical signal of the 100-week SMA, a drop to the right level is a great opportunity. The ammunition for bottom-fishing is already prepared, just waiting for the signal in the 50,000-56,000 range! $BTC
Family! How many people have been liquidated during this big market pullback in the past few days? Remember a saying: in this market, retail investors making money is all about luck! When retail investors can make money by blindly shorting, it will be a big positive; when retail investors can make money by blindly going long, it will lead to a big negative! Excess leads to reversal, opposites attract, everything is inescapably tied to the interchange of Yin and Yang! Next, let's talk about the upcoming market: Only doing analysis, not providing investment advice! Short-term biased towards a bearish consolidation, with no clear reversal signals, based on key support/resistance levels and volume; prioritize defense, be cautious in bottom fishing.
Key mainstream cryptocurrencies reference:
Bitcoin (BTC) Current price: around $77,000, dominated by bears, daily bearish arrangement, weak rebound. Support: 75,000-75,500 (double bottom + dense trading area), if broken, look at 72,000; Resistance: 79,000-80,000, need to stabilize with volume to relieve weakness. Prediction: 3-5 days likely to fluctuate in the 75,000-79,000 range, with rebounds facing resistance easily falling back. Ethereum (ETH) Current price: around $2,300, moving in sync with BTC, bearish momentum stronger. Support: 2,200-2,230, if broken, look for a drop to 2,000—1,860; Resistance: 2,400-2,470. Prediction: 3-5 days likely to fluctuate weakly in the 2,200-2,400 range. Solana (SoL) Current price: around $100, moving in sync with BTC bearish, with stronger bearish momentum. Support: $90, if broken, look for 78-80 dollars! The above is my personal understanding and analysis of these three cryptocurrencies, only doing analysis, not providing investment advice! Thank you!
Bitcoin has become a stock on Wall Street. In the last couple of days, Bitcoin has plummeted to just over 70,000, and all I can think is: this thing is no longer the original Bitcoin; it has turned into a major stock in the market. Let's start with the most heartbreaking fact: the U.S. now has a Bitcoin ETF, and institutional funds, pension funds, and Wall Street bigwigs are all profiting from it like a snowball. After the ETF approval in 2024, Bitcoin's price trends will be highly correlated with the Nasdaq; as soon as the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations change, it will immediately follow the plunge of U.S. stocks. Where is the decentralized currency in this? This is clearly the 'encrypted version of U.S. stocks'—rising thanks to the Federal Reserve's liquidity injections, falling due to interest rate hikes and a decline in risk appetite, not much different from gold or the Nasdaq. On the other hand, China's attitude towards national participation in digital currency is extremely cautious. The mainland has basically banned crypto trading, and although Hong Kong has licenses, ordinary people face multiple restrictions for significant participation. The result is: one of the world's largest pools of Bitcoin demand is artificially cut off, with most of the remaining liquidity concentrated in the hands of Wall Street and institutions. Decentralization? A joke. True decentralization requires global retail investors to participate freely; now it has become 'determined by U.S. institutions.' The price has already provided an answer: from the high point of 110,000, it cannot even hold 70,000 now; when market sentiment shifts, institutional sell-offs crush everything. In the coming months, if the Federal Reserve slows down its rate-cutting pace or if U.S. stocks continue to pull back, it is highly likely that Bitcoin will break below 60,000, and even 50,000 is almost a high-probability event. It is no longer a 'hard asset against inflation,' but rather a magnifying glass for risk assets—soaring when risk appetite is good, but falling even more sharply than stocks when risk rises. Bitcoin's former narrative—decentralization, anti-government, free currency—has been completely diluted by Wall Street's ETFs and institutional funds. Now it resembles a large-cap stock driven by the emotions of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street, rather than a revolutionary asset. Do you still believe in the decentralized story of Bitcoin? Or do you feel it has completely transformed into a shadow of U.S. stocks?
True freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but about knowing what not to do. In trading, it means refraining from actions outside the rules; in life, it means resisting temptations that go against your principles. This boundary of 'not doing' is the true realm of freedom that you have earned for yourself. You have seen that realm and are currently drawing its boundaries with your own hands. Please continue to protect the city of rules you have built with a craftsman's heart. This road is not easy, but every step leads to a stronger self. You are on the right path; please maintain this precious clarity and determination $BNB
Crypto has really given us a wake-up call this time. What's wrong with this world?
Princess Qingyue 6:05 PM • January 30, 2026 Followed
Given this market movement, I really have reason to suspect that someone who went long or short on gold and silver got liquidated and had to sell some cryptocurrency to cover their losses. A siphon effect of funds is normal; just like how Bitcoin's rise drains funds from altcoins, a surge in precious metals attracts funds to other assets, causing their prices to fall. If this is the reason, it makes sense, and if that's really the case, I'm not pessimistic about the short-term trend of cryptocurrencies. What I fear is that the overall market will further descend into a deep bear market. Currently, Bitcoin has reached the 80,000 mark. This price level has already formed a technical bear market from the high point. The previous crash at 1011 also stopped at this level, so returning to this level is a very crucial test. If this support holds, it will form a double bottom; conversely, if it breaks down, there is still room for further decline. Although I hold a significant position myself, objectively speaking, I'm also quite worried about further market declines. Currently, I'm only hoping for a rebound after the Spring Festival; a further bear market is still a possibility. It's worth mentioning that gold experienced a flash crash last night, but quickly recovered. This surge in gold prices raises concerns about the global situation ahead. It's important to understand that this kind of price increase likely involves a lot of retail buying, primarily driven by international capital and central banks. In this context, cryptocurrencies appear very vulnerable, especially compared to gold. Will the value of "digital gold" continue to be recognized this time? The current market trend is still not optimistic. The best approach is to use dollar-cost averaging and control overall position size, preparing for potential further declines. Otherwise, another sharp drop would be psychologically unbearable. While I have expectations and am relatively optimistic about the market after the Spring Festival, every historical bear market in the crypto market has been a devastating experience, one that's hard to breathe. Clearly, we haven't reached that point yet. Sometimes, appropriate defense is necessary to help us hold onto our low-priced holdings more firmly.
What should I do to make U work for you? Entering the cryptocurrency world at 30, and now at 37, it's been a full seven years. 2023-2024 is my financial watershed—my account balance has exceeded 34 million, and #GettingRichInCrypto is no longer someone else's story. Now I own 3 properties, and my vehicle has changed to a Rolls Royce; my life has already become worry-free. I firmly believe: Our generation is willing to pay a premium, essentially to buy efficiency. There's no need to struggle with the supply chain or get entangled in receivables; my time and energy are reserved for truly high-value battlegrounds—making every bit of U work for me around the clock. $BinanceLife People often ask me, what does it take to stand firm in trading cryptocurrencies? After thinking it over, the answer is actually quite simple: mindset first, technique second. Over the past few years of trial and error, I’ve summarized some practical tips to share with my fellow traders. BTC is always the big brother; if you want to mix in the crypto world, you must keep an eye on it. When it rises, the altcoins have a chance to follow; when it falls, all the little brothers have to bear the pressure. Occasionally, ETH may have an independent market trend, but don’t expect the altcoins to resist the market trend. BTC and USDT are like a seesaw: when USDT rises, BTC has to be careful of a correction; when BTC rises sharply, holding some USDT to secure profits is definitely a wise move. There are three key time periods to watch closely: 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM is easy for price spikes, placing orders before sleep often yields unexpected gains; 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM is a barometer; if it falls in the first half of the night and continues to fall in these two hours, closing your eyes and averaging down is likely to rebound the same day; if it rises in the first half of the night and continues to rise in these two hours, decisively exit, as it will likely correct that day; don’t lose focus at 5:00 PM, as US funds enter the market, leading to significant volatility. As for 'Black Friday,' don’t be too superstitious; there have been rises, falls, and consolidations, the key lies in the news. The most practical point: for non-air coins with trading volume, if they drop, don’t panic; in three to five days or a month, they’re likely to rebound; if you have spare cash, average down in batches to cut costs; if you don’t have spare cash, just hold tight; it’s generally not a big problem.
