#数字货币市场洞察 made seven figures in the crypto market last year—sounds glamorous, right? Actually, it was earned at the cost of my health—three months of flipped time zones, forcing my body clock into a US/Europe rhythm.

The key market moves always happen in the late night Beijing time. During that period, I’d crash at 8 PM and wake up at 3 AM sharp to watch the charts. There was one time ETH pumped three waves in a row—catching any one of them meant gains of over 30%. If you weren’t there, all you could do was regret it afterward.

Don’t rush to cut losses during daytime crashes. Sell-offs in Asian hours are often bear traps. I remember last July when $BTC dropped to $59,000—I set a buy order at $58,500, and by night it bounced back to $63,000. Opportunities like these belong to those who can hold on.

A long lower wick is often not a crash signal, but a shakeout move. Last month, $SOL wicked down to $125 and then doubled within two days. Anyone who panic-sold then must be kicking themselves. The real moves always exceed expectations—panic moments are when you’re most likely to get trapped.

Be extra cautious after bullish news comes out. Last June, when the ETF hype was brewing, $BTC pumped a week in advance. On the day the news became official, I closed all positions and went short—BTC dropped 10% the next day. The market is all about expectations vs. reality—“buy the rumor, sell the news” works every time.

The harshest lesson is position sizing—I’ve seen too many people go all in and get liquidated. Now I strictly keep each position under 5%. Gains are slower, but you survive longer.

In crypto, it’s not about who’s braver, but who’s more disciplined: knowing when to exit, when to hold, and when to wait. The market is there to be traded, not to be your grave.
