During volatile markets, what do you rely on to survive? It's not luck, but strategy.

Two years ago, I owed 120,000 yuan. Every time my phone flashed, my mind was filled with anxiety. Looking back now, those hellish days became my greatest wealth in the crypto space—they taught me what risk awareness really means.

The current market is indeed interesting. Bitcoin hovers around $92,000, while Ethereum stubbornly holds the $3,200 line. In such a volatile environment, I’ve been able to make steady profits over the past two months. The secret is simple—don’t be greedy.

**Position sizing is a matter of life and death**

When Bitcoin dropped to $89,200 on December 11, I watched people sell off aggressively around me, while I was building my position. It’s not that I have some divine prediction; frankly, I never gamble everything on a single bet. I set a strict rule for myself: the maximum position size for any single coin is 30%.

For example, yesterday Bitcoin found support in the $89,000 to $90,000 range. I only invested 15% of my capital. After the rebound was confirmed, I added another 10%. Sounds conservative? Yes, it is. This way, even if my judgment is completely wrong, I still have enough ammunition to adjust. The data shows—when Bitcoin hit resistance around $93,000 to $94,000, those who were fully invested were mostly trapped.

**Small profits still count; compound interest speaks**

Many people dismiss gains of 5% to 10%, dreaming of overnight riches. But real stories aren’t written that way. Consistent small gains, compounded over time, lead to returns that can’t be matched by one or two big wins.

My habit is to set clear profit targets for each cycle—know your profit numbers, and don’t always think about defying the odds.
