Every year at this time, the market becomes especially active. Funds are itching to move, news floods in, and the K-line trend jumps up and down like it’s on steroids. It seems like opportunities are everywhere, but the reality is often harsh—some easily harvest profits, while others get wiped out due to impulsiveness.

Why do the same market conditions lead to such different outcomes? Essentially, it’s the difference in mindset and execution.

The most typical features of the year-end market are two words: urgency and intensity. Gains are large, and the speed of decline is also rapid. Many people lose their way in this volatility—seeing a rise, they chase; seeing a fall, they panic and cut losses. This mindset is exactly what the market loves to harvest. The tricks of诱多 (baiting to buy) and诱空 (baiting to sell short) are specifically aimed at investors who chase highs and sell lows. When you think an opportunity has arrived, it’s often a carefully laid trap—by the time you jump in, smart money has already taken profits.

Real trading opportunities are not available every day. When they do appear, it usually requires patience to wait for clear trend signals. Don’t stare at the K-line all day, don’t get anxious over short-term fluctuations—doing so only leads to emotional trading.

What’s the most feared situation? It’s seeing a hint of a trend and increasing your position, but failing to grasp the rhythm or control greed. One careless move can wipe out the entire year’s gains.

My approach is simple: I don’t predict the market, I don’t operate with full positions, and I never watch the market all day. I only act when the trend is clearly in the right direction and the rhythm is smooth. Once I reach my profit target, I exit immediately—never greedy or delay.

The year-end crypto market isn’t a pie in the sky, but a stage for traders who have patience and discipline. Want to double your holdings? That’s possible, but only if you survive. In this market, simply staying alive is already the most brilliant tactic.
