Being trapped isn't the end of the world; what really can break a person is losing control of their mindset.
Let's talk about how to climb out of the trap. It's not complicated; it all depends on your approach. I’ll share two strategies I’ve summarized over the years: one is proactive offense, and the other is steady defense — you need both to truly control the rhythm.
**Three Tips for Active Engagement**
**Tip 1: Decisive Stop-Loss**
After chasing a high and the price suddenly plunges—that’s something everyone has experienced. The key is not to hesitate; assess whether the coin still has reas

When a liquidation occurs, the market hits you like a punch. The idea of making quick money with leveraged contracts collapses the moment a losing order appears.
The most heartbreaking part isn't the account balance plunging, but realizing that you've been gambling with probabilities all along, treating trading as an escape to fill the emptiness in life. That false hope of "this time I can turn it around" is like standing on the edge of a cliff.
Stop-loss isn't giving up. Pressing the pause button is the first time you truly see yourself clearly. Market fluctuations are normal, but you shouldn

Today's airdrop market was indeed a bit surprising. Watching the wallet's unrealized gains drop from 23U to just 20U—this sneak attack by old coins was truly unexpected.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not hard to understand. Most people are still on holiday now, and I heard they won't start returning to work until January 5th. Retail investor activity in the market has indeed decreased, and this period has actually become an opportunity for some large funds to reposition.
The $ESPORTS coin performed quite impressively today, generating a lot of buzz. Many people are paying attention to this

#数字资产市场动态 I’ve seen a particularly painful failure case: someone was bullish on Ethereum at $3,200 and decided to buy the dip. As a result, the price kept falling to $1,700. He didn’t set a stop-loss and kept adding to his position as it dropped. In the end, he got liquidated to zero.
What’s even more heartbreaking is what happened afterward: he said he can no longer focus on his job, and a monthly salary of five thousand no longer appeals to him. Behind this is actually a more frightening problem than losing money—the illusion of wealth has completely distorted his mindset.
A friend came to

Recent performance of precious metals indeed warrants attention. On the evening of December 26th, spot silver (London Silver) surged to a high of $75.6130 per ounce, breaking through the 73, 74, and 75 levels in one go. At the same time, spot gold also hit a record high of $4531.27 per ounce. The entire precious metals sector is moving upward, with a particularly strong correlation effect.
Carefully observing the rhythm of silver, it almost completely synchronizes with gold—lacking independent market characteristics. This indicates that gold is leading the direction of the precious metals sect

On Christmas Day, Bitcoin briefly dropped to $24,111 on a major exchange before rebounding. But what exactly happened behind the scenes? Most people are still staring at the candlestick charts in confusion, but what they should really focus on is the flow of funds.
A sharp sell-off in a short period is evidenced on-chain and in the order book. Don’t just look at the price—check out those hidden limit orders and the depth of transactions, and you'll understand.
Here's a key point: when funds transfer in a highly coordinated manner, especially when liquidity is already limited, the price doesn’t

Building on last week's perspective, let's continue analyzing the current market pattern. Currently, there is a 23 billion dollar options settlement to handle, which has set a new record for the nominal amount in the crypto market. Looking back at the patterns over the past three months, the market tends to give a clear directional judgment about a week after the settlement—September saw a sharp rise, October turned into a sharp decline, and November experienced a slight dip.
This year-end options settlement will have a significant impact on subsequent liquidity. From the timeline, it will be

#数字资产市场动态 Friday Night Market Briefing
Looking at the 4-hour chart, $BTC didn't show much of a sustained move after the early surge this morning. Currently, it’s fluctuating around 88600, with the price stuck above the middle band of the Bollinger Bands, indicating that in the short term, it’s still in a phase of testing and retesting.
From a technical perspective, there’s no rush to break below. Instead, we should slow down the pace and focus on a low-buying strategy for a more stable approach.
How exactly to act?
The bullish opportunity lies in the 87500-88000 range. If the price drops to t

Want to use BNB for a reverse order, but after filling the limit order to the max, I found that—transactions are still deducted based on the actual decimal amount for fees, whether it's USDT or the token itself, there's no escape. What's more frustrating is that each sell order leaves some tokens unsold, so how do you handle those small leftover amounts?
My experience is a painful lesson. My account was piled up with dozens of alpha tokens, unable to move. Only later did I realize—the problem with limit orders is here; only market orders can completely buy or sell without leaving leftovers.
If

Recently, over the past few months, I have observed the performance of many accounts. Indeed, some people are consistently achieving results, not relying on luck.
By analyzing their operational logic, a few common points emerge: they do not chase highs, do not gamble on bottoms, and do not try to predict turning points. They wait until the market direction is clear before entering. As for position sizing, almost no one goes all-in at once; instead, they scale in gradually, locking in profits promptly at each stage.
When the market has room, they follow along; when there is no opportunity, they

#比特币与黄金战争 Gold Evening Review｜Repeated Testing and Oscillation Battles, Keep an Eye on 4480 Support in the Evening
Today’s gold movement is quite interesting. During the Asian session, it dropped directly to 4448.40 and couldn’t stop falling, then quickly rebounded. In the European session, it attempted to break through the key resistance at 4531.27 but ran into resistance and lost momentum. Afterwards, the gold price oscillated around the 4507.47 level, and the overall rhythm remains trapped within a range.
On a macro level, the US dollar index is stuck around 97.80, which is near a two-month

#美联储回购协议计划 $BTC $ETH Breaking News! A Mining Proposal Suddenly Appears on the US-Russia Negotiation Table, This Signal Is Not Simple
Yesterday, international media went into a frenzy. While discussing the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the US unexpectedly proposed a bold idea — to establish a cryptocurrency mining base there. At first glance, it sounds like science fiction, but upon closer inspection, there is indeed logic.
What does a nuclear power plant imply? Ample electricity supply + ultra-low-cost electricity. This is a dream combination for mining. Electricity costs are a major part

#美联储回购协议计划 The asset trend in 2025 shows a clear contrast. Gold, driven by safe-haven demand, surged 137% throughout the year, becoming the undisputed winner of the year. Silver followed closely, with a 68% increase, showing stable performance but clearly lagging behind gold.
Looking at crypto assets—$BTC declined 9.9% for the year, underperforming. $ETH, $BNB, and other high-risk assets also came under pressure, making the entire crypto market seem somewhat dull compared to the strong performance of precious metals.
The underlying logic is also clear: the Federal Reserve's policy stance cont

#数字资产市场动态 The Bank of Japan has finally reached its limit! Ueda Kazuo clearly stated in a speech at the Japan Business Federation yesterday—after thirty years of zero interest rate benefits, it's coming to an end.
"Wages are rising, prices are high, and our 2% inflation target is not just for show. With real interest rates this low, is there still a reason to keep easing?" Translated, this means: the era of free arbitrage with the yen is coming to an end.
A few weeks ago, during the press conference, they were still playing a game of ambiguity, and the market pushed the yen to 157. This time,

Many people are knocked out of the contract market at the very first step by greed.
Starting with just over 1000U, they foolishly hope for a turnaround. This kind of thinking will 99% of the time lead to one outcome—account zeroing out. My advice is actually very simple: learn to survive first.
Divide the 1000U into 10 parts, and only use 100U each time to enter the market. Setting leverage within 20x is the safest. The more aggressive a beginner is with leverage, the faster they lose money. Put the remaining funds into a financial account to earn interest, and don’t let your fingers move reck

Honestly, I never planned to make a living relying on advanced technology. Candlestick charts? I hardly look at them. Various indicators? I simply don’t understand them. MACD, RSI, these things, I’ve heard enough and got tired of them.
But that doesn’t stop me from turning a principal of 2100U into 75,000U in less than two months.
Many people’s first reaction after hearing this is—impossible, it’s definitely luck. But seasoned crypto traders would smile and shake their heads: You’re mistaken. Making big money in this market has never depended on technical analysis; it’s about whether you can c

#美联储回购协议计划 Japan's New Policy Implementation Brings Dual Opportunities and Risks to the Crypto Market
Japan's record-breaking FY2026 budget of 122.3 trillion yen, alongside the Financial Services Agency's regulatory framework overhaul, sends mixed signals to the crypto ecosystem.
The most immediate positive impact comes from the stablecoin sector. Major banks like Mizuho and Mitsubishi UFJ have launched yen stablecoin tests integrated into payment scenarios used by 300,000 enterprises—this is not a small-scale effort but a real bridge connecting crypto assets with traditional settlement system

What is the market like now? Chaotic, noisy, full of uncertainty. Many people are starting to doubt in this environment—whether they should wait and see before entering the market again.
But if you've gone through several complete cycles, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon—true profit opportunities never appear when consensus is formed and everyone is optimistic. On the contrary, they hide in the stages of deepest disagreement and most wounded confidence.
**Why is this the case?** Because forming a bottom itself requires time to clear out weak hands and wear down investor psychology. Hist
