#数字资产市场洞察 The real ledger of encryption transactions in 2016: the bumpy road from 80,000 to 68 million.

I remember that afternoon when I made a net profit of 450,000 in a single day. Looking at the numbers in my account, I realized how valuable every step I took over the past six years has been. From the beginning, burdened with debt and only having borrowed 80,000, to the current scale of my capital, this path was definitely not paved by luck or insider information. Every liquidation, every forced sale, and every time I hit rock bottom became a building block for my later trading system.

The 6 trading rules that have been distilled are earned through real losses:

**Volume is the market's direction marker** — a sharp rise followed by a significant drop is often a clear signal of the main force unloading. Don't just look at the price increase; pay attention to the story behind the trading volume.

**A rapid crash followed by a slow rebound is a trap** — This asymmetric trend pattern usually means that the operators are quietly unloading. A fast decline and a slow rebound can easily numb the psychology.

**High-level contraction and consolidation is more fierce than volume expansion** — The seemingly calm sideways consolidation is actually the tranquility before the storm. The longer the contraction lasts, the more intense the subsequent fluctuations tend to be.

**Patience is required to verify the bottom volume** — A single large volume does not indicate that a reversal is coming; we need to observe sustained oscillations with decreasing volume before the volume increases again. This is the real window for building positions.

**Trading volume is the pulse of capital** - K-line charts are just the result of price fluctuations; trading volume reflects the true sentiment of capital behind it. Learning to understand volume means learning to understand the market.

**Mindset is the last line of defense in trading** — daring to stay in cash and wait, refusing to greedily chase highs, and not being shackled by fear are essential lessons for trading at the highest level.

Opportunities in the encryption market are never lacking; what is lacking is the ability to maintain a steady mindset amid volatility and the true determination to execute. Everyone who has stumbled has a story, but the key is whether one can sort out a trading logic that suits oneself, rather than repeatedly hitting walls in the dark.
