#数字资产市场动态 Staying in the crypto market for a long time, you will eventually realize the same truth: choosing the wrong direction, no matter how much effort you put in, is all in vain.



You can memorize all technical indicators, listen to the logical arguments of various influencers, analyze all on-chain data, but as long as you go against the market trend, the outcome is predictable—being pressed down and rubbed against the ground by the market.

When BTC is surging upward, don’t constantly wonder if it will sharply retrace or if it’s overextended. The movement on the candlestick chart reflects the market’s true feelings. Your job is to follow it, not to debate.

The same logic applies in reverse. When the market starts to weaken, if you stubbornly try to catch the bottom or prove that you are smarter than the market, you are just finding excuses for the next wave of losses.

The fundamental reason many traders lose money isn’t because they don’t understand the market. The real issue is a restless mind—too eager to prove oneself.

When prices are rising, they hesitate to follow; when prices are falling, they are reluctant to exit. They spend all day dreaming about catching the bottom at the lowest point or selling at the top, but in the end, they end up with nothing.

My current strategy is just two words: simplicity. Before each entry, I only ask myself one question—

Is this trend pushing me forward, or is it working against me?

If it pushes me, I follow; if it works against me, I retreat.

The market doesn’t care how accurate your judgment is or how meticulous your logic is. It only rewards those who follow the trend. Let go of the obsession to always be proven right, reduce self-assertion, and adopt more flexibility in following the market. Your account pressure will be much lighter.

There are no shortcuts in front of a trend.

Aligning with the direction itself already means you’ve won half the battle.

You're right, I just suffered too much from "smart" mistakes. Insisted on buying the dip at the bottom, and ended up buying even more, haha.

Basically, you need to be in a relationship with the market, not judge it.

Honestly, after watching those daily candlestick charts so much that my eyes are blurred, I still end up getting the worst beating from the market. Going with the trend sounds simple in theory but is really hard to do in practice.
