The moment the money arrived, I really couldn't hold back and laughed for a long time.

How did this profit come about? Let's talk some real talk.

**BEAT that operation**, I first went long at a low position and decisively exited when it went up. Later, I saw it rush up near the previous high, but it clearly lacked the momentum to continue rising, with upper shadows appearing—this is the market saying "it can't break through here". So I turned around and went short. Both long and short positions were involved, but this wasn't because of my divine prediction, rather the market itself displayed the signals.

**PIPPIN is more representative**. The coin price hovers around 0.5 repeatedly, but it just cannot rise, and the trading volume has noticeably shrunk. What to do in such a situation? Just go short, following the market's rhythm.

So is there any secret? To be honest, there really isn't.

There are only two logics to make money:

**The first is to look at the position.** The price has reached a critical point; the next step is whether it will break through or pull back. The market will show you itself. Your job is to observe and identify.

**The second is to control your hands.** If you can't see the trend clearly, don't act. If you need to cut losses, cut them. Never carry short-term losses into long-term positions. I've observed that profitable trades are usually planned in advance; while losing trades are often impulsive, driven by a moment of excitement.

The crypto market is always full of opportunities, but the prerequisite is that you need to master two skills: first, learn to read market signals; second, have the patience to wait for signals to appear. Don't always think about creating opportunities— for most of us traders, being able to seize existing opportunities is already quite good.

Steadily come, the principal is still there, the game is still on.
