Last year, I saw a real investment case in Shenzhen. There was no insider information, just relying on three simple observations and a mindset, and I ended up making a profit. Today, I’ll break it down for you—how much you understand depends on your intuition.
**First phenomenon: Rapid rise, slow fall**
The main force wants to accumulate, so the K-line rises quickly, but during the pullback, it looks like a swamp—one step at a time sinking deeper. It seems like there's no momentum, but in reality, someone is controlling the rhythm behind the scenes, quietly stockpiling. Retail investors see the long duration and get anxious, so they start selling their chips.
Truth: As long as the key trend line isn’t broken, there’s nothing to fear. If your heartbeat spikes to 90, then consider partially reducing your position.
**Second phenomenon: Sharp drop, weak rebound**
Drops like a cliff, but the rebound doesn’t even reach halfway up the mountain, and trading volume keeps shrinking. Don’t be fooled by the illusion of “getting it cheap”—at the bottom with decreasing volume, there might still be a cellar underneath.
Iron rule: If the previous low is broken but volume shrinks, it’s time to give way. Trying to catch the rebound after a sharp decline? In the end, you’ll be missing something.
**Third phenomenon: Volume reveals the truth**
High volume at the top? It might be the market maker switching hands, the show isn’t over. No volume at the top? The buying has already dried up; it’s just a matter of time. Volume at the bottom is a real signal, but the first and second moves require observation; only on the third attempt is there a real opportunity.
Rule: Any breakout without volume is just playing tricks.
**Final trick: Control your emotions**
Greed, fear, panic—these are the three tools the market uses to harvest. Jumping candles, news flying everywhere—these are surface-level excitement. The real victory depends on the steadiness behind your screen.
Turn your trading logic into a habit, shut out emotional noise. The market always offers opportunities, but only those with a steady heartbeat below 60 can survive to seize the next one.
Most people struggle daily between red and green candles, not because they are beaten by the market, but because they are defeated by those ten minutes of tension and sweaty palms. The opportunity is right there—do you dare to open your eyes and grab it? The crypto market never sleeps, but your capital and opportunities are not unlimited.

Keep your heartbeat under control, or you'll be sending money to the market makers.

It's impossible to play with a heartbeat above 90; I've experienced that feeling long ago... A shrinking volume bottom is really a trap.

Basically, it's a mindset game. I've seen too many people die emotionally.
When your heartbeat hits 90, it's time to run. That's a really sharp statement.
Volume is the real father; all the breakthroughs without volume are just fake tricks.
There are still traps below the shrinking volume bottom. Getting fooled once is enough.
It's not the market that wins; it's your trembling hands in ten minutes that wins.
Don't trade unless the trend line breaks; don't mess around.
If there's no volume at a high level, you should withdraw. Wait for the third volume spike before acting.
This set of logic sounds simple, but sticking to it is really difficult.

Your heartbeat reaching 90 means it's time to run, this point is spot on. I've been trapped by mentality before, every time I shake with nervousness during operations.

Still trying to buy the dip at the bottom with decreasing volume, honestly, it's like asking to get killed. I've seen too many such retail investors.
---
Breakouts without volume are indeed playing dirty. I was trapped for three months last time before I was rescued.
---
Controlling emotions is harder than any technical skill, this is the truth. Everything else is just nonsense.
---
Remember that "the third time is the chance," I need to note this down. I previously lost money because I kept trading frequently at this point.
---
Trading volume is truly a mirror of the true situation; volume and price movement together are the key. Just looking at candlesticks alone is deceptive.
---
Keeping your heartbeat below 60 is a bit exaggerated but makes sense. When panicking, it's best to close your eyes.
---
The pattern of rapid rise and slow fall is indeed common. The key is to have patience and wait. Retail investors lack this the most.
---
The phrase "capital won't be unlimited" hits hard, it's very realistic.

I should have run when my heartbeat was at 90, but I was still watching the market... This time, they were right; a low-volume bottom is more dangerous than anything else.

Heart rate above 90 basically means no way out, I'm the type that starts shaking just looking at the decline... gotta practice gradually.
