"Don't daydream, K-line won't play along with you"


In trading, the most valuable thing is: less ego, more eyes. Many people lose money in the crypto space not because they can't read the charts, but because they trust their feelings too much.
The market is clearly strong, yet you insist, "It's already risen so much, it must pull back";
The structure is clearly weakening, yet you still fantasize, "The main force is shaking out."
To put it plainly: you're not trading, you're in love with your biases.
Strong is strong, don't add drama—breakouts with volume, pullbacks that don't break, continuously raising lows—that's strength.
But many people, upon seeing strength, start to panic: "This doesn't make sense," "I don't like chasing highs," "I'll buy after it pulls back."
And what happens? It doesn't turn back, and you're just watching the show from the sidelines.
The market won't turn just because you didn't get on board.
Weak is weak, don't tell yourself stories.
The most classic death in the crypto world:
Drop → "Shakeout" and drop again → "Trap" and keep falling → "Main force hasn't finished" liquidation → "The whale is targeting me."
Brothers, the truth is often only one: it is simply weak.
In a weak market, the thing you should cut losses on isn't your position, but your illusions.
Use your eyes to read the K-line, don't write scripts with your brain.
The biggest difference between old and new traders is:
New traders: form an opinion first, then find evidence.
Old traders: look at the price first, then decide which side to stand on.
How the price moves, you follow accordingly;
Whether there's a trend or not, you decide whether to act.
No predictions, no assumptions, no fighting the market.
Follow the trend when strong, avoid when weak—sounds useless, but it can save many lives.
Many dislike trend-following trading: "This is too unskilled, right?"
But if you check accounts that have lasted long, they all use this "foolproof" method:
When strong, hold the weak;
Avoid what you don't understand;
Stay out of the market without showing off;
But they survive.
Subjectivity should be minimized; look with your eyes.
If it's clearly strong, don't carry biases;
If it's clearly weak, don't fantasize anymore.
The crypto world isn't short of smart people, what it lacks is—those willing to admit they were wrong.
