Understanding the true language of the market is the only way to move from repeatedly taking losses to stable profits.

Recently, many complaints have come in the backend: "This market is too tough, it drops as soon as I buy, and rises as soon as I sell—it's like a curse!" Honestly, I completely understand this sense of helplessness.

Having been in the crypto market for eight years, I’ve seen too many people be misled by "insider information," chasing highs and selling lows, only to see their principal shrink by more than half. It made me realize one thing—the era where you could make money just by listening to the wind is long gone.

What has allowed me to survive these eight years and maintain a stable monthly income of 25%-35% isn’t some secret technique or complex indicator stacking. It’s simply understanding the four words: "Volume-Price Relationship." Today, I want to discuss four rules that are probably deeper than most traders’ understanding.

**Why do you always get "liquidated" in a ranging market?**

In the early days of entering the market, I also blindly trusted various indicators and believed that so-called "insider information" could guarantee victory. Later, I realized that these things are useless in sideways markets. The data is straightforward—70% of the market time is spent in consolidation, which means most traditional trend strategies will repeatedly teach you a lesson.

The real trap isn’t volatility itself, but false breakouts. Studies show that in ranging markets, 80% of seemingly valid "breakouts" are actually traps for both longs and shorts. You see the price suddenly surge, get excited, enter the market thinking a trend has started, only to be slapped back with a quick reversal. After several such experiences, your mindset completely collapses.

A more realistic statistic is: the accuracy rate of a single indicator’s signals is less than 40%. Relying solely on RSI overbought/oversold or MACD crossovers for decision-making? About six out of ten trades will lose money, and transaction fees can eat up all your profits.

**The next content will continue to delve into the remaining three rules…**

Monthly income of 25-35%? That number sounds a bit suspicious; I need to see real account records to believe it.

ngl, the 40% accuracy rate thing tracks with what i've been seeing in my spreadsheets lately... but statistically speaking, most retail traders don't even *know* they're chasing 80% fake breakouts, which is honestly taxonomically incorrect behavior for anyone claiming market literacy

Is a monthly return of 25-35% really true, or is it just another story selling anxiety? --- Fake breakouts are really annoying. How many times have I been fooled? --- I've heard countless explanations about the relationship between volume and price, but the key is still discipline. --- Where does the data that 70% of the time the market moves sideways come from? It feels like the percentage varies each time. --- A single indicator with 40% accuracy actually makes me more anxious. --- Honestly, it's still about surviving until the next cycle; nothing beats that. --- It's the volume-price relationship again. It's just about observing trading volume in conjunction with price. Why make it so mysterious? --- Surviving eight years already means you've beaten 99% of people. That's the real core. --- Insider information is indeed a deep trap. Only after being fooled do you understand. --- Making money in a ranging market really tests your mindset. A fake breakout can shatter your confidence. --- So, when will these four rules finally be revealed? They've been teasing us forever. --- The traps of trapping others with false signals are usually aimed at those with unstable mindsets. Self-discipline isn't actually that hard.

Monthly income of 25-35%? Sounds pretty impressive, but honestly, out of ten people who rely on volume-price relationships to make a living, probably nine are also losing money. The tricks of诱多 and诱空 are really annoying, I always feel like I'm being led around. Honestly, I doubt the 80% fake breakout data. It seems like your sample might be a bit biased. It's insider information and indicators again, but in the end, it still comes down to mindset. Once your mindset collapses, everything is useless. The volume-price relationship is indeed the core, but that's nothing new. The problem is that there's a huge gap between knowing and doing. This article seems to be laying the groundwork for something; the real highlight is probably in the second half.

Hey bro, I really can't believe this month's return of 25%-35%... It feels more stable than the teacher I follow for signals.

Monthly income of 25-35%? Buddy, these numbers seem a bit suspicious. Is it really that easy to profit in a volatile market?
