How can you tell when major players are preparing to drive a stock higher? Remember these five signals.
The first signal is volume drying up to an extreme. Before major players drive a stock higher, trading volume will shrink to an extremely low level. How low? Down to rock-bottom volume. What does that mean? It means the stock’s daily trading volume has fallen to its lowest level in the past few months, or even six months. Why does it shrink so much? Because everyone who wanted to sell has already sold, and everyone who was going to be shaken out has already been shaken out. There are no weak holders left in the market. Anyone who wanted to get out has already left; those who remain are holding on stubbornly. At this point, major players only need to use a little money to buy shares and push the price up, because there’s no more selling pressure. Look at any stock that has made a big move: before it takes off, there’s always a period when volume dries up to an extreme. This isn’t a coincidence—it’s inevitable. Without rock-bottom volume, there’s no bottom price; without a bottom price, there’s no room for a rally. But remember: rock-bottom volume doesn’t necessarily mean the stock will rally right away. Volume may stay low for a while. Rock-bottom volume is a necessary condition for a rally, but not a sufficient one.

In crypto, the word “wait” looks simple, but the outcomes can be worlds apart. Some people wait for years, their positions pinned to the floor, and never even break even before the flowers fade. Others hold for just as long and see their assets multiply several times over. They can exit gracefully at any point along the way—and if they sell too early, they kick themselves. The difference isn’t patience; it’s what you chose to invest in. Many people object: “I waited too. Why haven’t I even broken even?” Because the way you thought about choosing coins from the start was completely misguided.
Many traders love picking up coins that were heavily pumped in the previous cycle, anchoring on their all-time highs. When the price first starts falling, they cautiously buy 10% or 20% of a position. The lower it goes, the more they add—and the more confident they become. They start buying when it drops from 10U to 5U, add more at 4U, then again at 3U and 2U, thinking it’s so cheap—how much lower could it go? If it just bounces back to 4U or 5U, they’ll make a killing. That’s human nature: we love a bargain, and we love bargain-priced coins too. But you’re treating the previous cycle’s high as an anchor for value. Plenty of people think just like you. Everyone keeps adding as the price falls, so their cost bases are all about the same. There are layers of trapped holders above. When the price starts to rebound, you don’t want to sell, while others may have lower cost bases and sell first. Will the big players step in to pump a coin like this? Will the project team, market makers, or whales come to bail out retail traders and lift the price for them, only to bury themselves in the process? Not realistic.

Many people in the crypto world can’t seem to make money. It’s not necessarily because the market is bad, and it’s not necessarily because they’re unlucky either. Basically, they have two fixed, unchangeable bad habits. I’ll be upfront and share my personal perspective; it might not be pleasant to hear. If your investing hasn’t gone smoothly, you can check against it.
The first problem is that I can’t stand the word “wait.” Many people think “wait” means standing by with no position when risk arrives and saying, “I’m waiting.” Or it means being fully invested, getting trapped, lying flat while waiting—I’ve been trapped for a long time too, and I’m waiting. But actually, this isn’t the real kind of waiting. True waiting comes in two forms: one is waiting for an opportunity while staying in cash; the other is waiting for the main upswing while fully invested. People who wait with no position are the most disciplined. They ignore all kinds of messy, noisy minor fluctuations—they just patiently wait for a big drop, wait for stabilization, and wait until the real bottom opportunity shows up, then move decisively. There are very few such people, and I can’t do it either, so I chose the second path: waiting while fully invested.
