Good popular music production and trading have a common point — rhythm is crucial.

Not every note needs to shine, but there’s always one or two tracks in an album that can top the charts. The secret is understanding the audience’s emotional fluctuations — when to lay the groundwork, when to push towards the climax, and when to give space for silence.

The crypto world follows the same pattern. The market for BTC and ETH can’t be exciting every day, but there are always a few "peak moments" each year:

**Phase One: Low-key buildup**. During sideways consolidation, it seems boring, but in fact, the market is quietly accumulating sentiment. This stage tests your observation skills the most.

**Phase Two: The night before the momentum release**. Volatility suddenly expands, and candlesticks start to show agitation — a prelude to the climax.

**Phase Three: The true trend explosion**. If you catch this phase, you can gain half a year’s worth of returns.

Recently, my trading mindset has changed — I no longer insist on participating in every fluctuation, but instead focus on refining like a mixing engineer to ensure the overall sound is harmonious. Missing the intro isn’t a loss; the key is whether you dare to follow when the chorus arrives.

The market is in an endless cycle. The real skill isn’t to sing along with everything, but to recognize which one will become a breakout hit.
