Seven years ago, the phrase "Leave me and you are nothing" became my greatest motivation when I now smile and see it as the best encouragement.
From being forced to restart, with over fifty million in my account, I didn’t rely on insider information or luck of the draw. Instead, through repeated beatings in the crypto world, I painfully learned six seemingly simple yet effective principles. Compared to those flashy indicators, these are more aligned with the true pulse of the market.
**Rapid rise and gentle fall = Accumulation**. A sharp increase followed by a mild correction? Mostly large funds are secretly building positions. Don’t be fooled by surface fluctuations; the key is to find the right rhythm.
**Sudden drop and weak rebound = Distribution**. If it crashes and can’t be pulled back up, it indicates funds are withdrawing. Buying the dip at this point is suicide.
**Volume increase at high levels doesn’t necessarily mean a top**. Sometimes, high volume at high levels indicates ongoing momentum; in fact, a top with decreasing volume can better signal a trend reversal.
**A single volume spike doesn’t count as a true bottom**. It requires continuous volume expansion. A one-time surge is often a smoke screen; sustained volume indicates market consensus is gradually forming.
**Speculation is about human psychology, not charts**. No matter how complex the technical indicators, they ultimately depend on sentiment. Volume directly reflects emotional state.
**The highest realm is "nothing"**. No desire, no fear, no obsession—only then can one live long. Enduring the loneliness of holding an empty position prepares you for the gains when the market arrives.
Ultimately, the real opponent in trading is oneself. Good or bad news, market manipulation, and sell-offs are external factors. What determines victory or defeat is your emotional management, discipline in execution, and psychological resilience. The crypto market is full of opportunities and risks alike. Seeking steady gains and rational planning is the only sure way to go further.

Sounds good, but how many can truly endure the loneliness of holding an empty position?

Really, the hardest part is holding a vacant position; it's more painful than losing money.

Sounds good, just don't be greedy, don't be afraid, and don't make reckless moves.

nah the "enemy is yourself" part is actually unhinged accurate tho... watched too many people get liquidated by their own fomo, not the market

This is really a problem. Do I still have to rely on intuition for 50 million? Why do I feel like I've been cut?

That's right, attitude determines everything. I also only realized it after being knocked down to question my life.

ngl the volume patterns here are legit interesting from a game theory perspective... but the emotional discipline angle hits different. that's where most protocols fail too tbh

Exactly right, trading volume is the truth, everything else is false.
