(7 years of blood, tears summary, specializing in ineffective monitoring)

Having been in the crypto world for 7 years, I have seen too many people stare at the K-line every day until they go bald, but at critical moments, they always react half a beat late—either missing the market or getting caught. It wasn't until later that I realized that opportunities in the crypto market don't require 24-hour close monitoring; as long as you identify the five "golden periods" of the day, your efficiency can multiply several times! This "time window monitoring method" that I have repeatedly validated in practical trading can be mastered immediately even by beginners 👇

**1. Morning session 9:30-9:35: 5-minute insight into the day's trend**

The crypto market has no daily limit up or down, and the trading volume in the first 5 minutes after opening is like a mirror that reveals the true intentions of the funds. My criteria for judgment are very hardcore:

Strong start: The trading volume must be at least twice the last half-hour of yesterday's closing (don't believe in the myth of 3x—crypto liquidity is special, and 2x is already a strong signal). Reaching this number indicates that the overnight chips have been thoroughly digested, and there is a high probability of a trend today.

Danger signal: If the trading volume hasn't even reached 1.5x? Then sound the alarm—this indicates insufficient market interest, and you should avoid chasing highs in the morning, patiently wait for a pullback.

My approach is: if the criteria are met, continue holding; if not, reduce positions during 9:35 to 9:40 when the price rises. If the crypto market weakens in the morning, it tends to drift downward throughout the day, so there's no need to force against the trend.

**2. 10:00 AM: Inspection time for leading coins**

10 o'clock marks the transition between Asian and European funds. Truly strong coins won't pretend to be dead at this time. I mainly look for these two situations:

Strong coins: either they can volume-breakout to surpass previous highs or they are steadily above the hourly moving average (a pullback that doesn't break this level indicates real strength).

This time point best reveals whether a coin is genuinely strong or just pretending.
