Someone asked me how I look at the charts, and what came to mind is this saying.
Among the indifference of the market, there’s a lesson: The market doesn’t know who you are. It doesn’t know how much you’ve lost, and it doesn’t know that you need this money. It’s completely uninterested in your situation. Projecting your emotions onto the market is the beginning of all suffering.
Let’s take today’s $BTC as an example: now it’s 76,883, 24h -1.91%. This kind of chart action happens to perfectly confirm the point above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself in the market.
We’ve all heard the lesson, but what’s hard is whether you can actually do it when the moment comes.
Keep some ammunition—more than anything else that matters.
I swept the morning market for a bit, and $THE today is kind of interesting—it straight up surged -2.79%.
Right now the price is 0.066200, with the intraday high/low at 0.072800 / 0.065800. Trading volume is 0.80B USDT, which suggests active buying—not random retail FOMO.
For coins that suddenly see volume like this in the morning, the two most common scenarios are: either informed money sniffed out a positive catalyst early, or the main players are testing the market. No matter which it is, the biggest fear at this point is blindly chasing. Since it’s already pumped so much, the risk of chasing is greater than the opportunity.
If you’re already in, watch the 0.065800 level—if it breaks, you should leave. If you haven’t entered yet, it’s better to wait for a pullback to a support area before considering it.
Just came across a passage and froze for a moment.
It talks about a principle I wouldn’t dare tell my family about: If your position needs to be hidden from your family, then that position is definitely beyond what you can truly handle. Any holdings that can’t be seen in the light will inevitably twist your mindset.
Take today’s $BTC as an example: Right now it’s 76,900, with a 24h change of -1.64%. This kind of market movement perfectly confirms the idea above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself in the market.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that in the end, what trading tests isn’t just technique—it’s one’s disposition. First, scale your position down.
ETH early session is currently hovering around 1.3400, down 3.84% over the past 24 hours.
Last night’s high/low were 1.3957 / 1.3294, and overall it has been consolidating within the range. The key focus in the early session is whether it can hold the 1.3294 level—if that breaks, downside space will open up; if it holds, you may see a small rebound in the short term.
Trading volume is 195 million USDT; it’s not particularly large, indicating that early-session funds are still cautious and there hasn’t been a clear directional choice. At times like this, the biggest taboo is to act too quickly—watch first before making your move.
Keeping a few rounds in reserve is stronger than anything else.
Take a quick look before the market opens. BTC is currently stuck at 76,837, down 1.40% over the past 24h, with the overall trend leaning weak. ETH is around 2,445, down 0.22% over the past 24h as well, also weak.
The range BTC moved in overnight was 76,676 to 78,564, and this level is pretty key. If the market opens and breaks above with volume to hold around 78,564, short-term sentiment will improve a lot; conversely, if it gets dumped below 76,676 right at the open, then today is likely to be a choppy range-bound day.
For ETH, I’m watching BTC’s mood even more. If the big coin doesn’t give direction, it’s hard for Ethereum to move independently on its own. Trading volume is 842 million USDT—not very active—which suggests everyone is waiting for the signal at the open.
Today, I won’t act right at the open. I’ll watch for the first half hour to confirm the direction, then decide. First, I’ll reduce my position.
I just came across a paragraph and was stunned for a while.
In Zen Buddhism’s ordinary mind, there’s a principle: An ordinary mind is the Dao. If you make money, you don’t get arrogant; if you lose money, you don’t panic. Anyone can say that. The real test is the day your account is down 30% in unrealized losses—whether you can still follow your original plan.
Take today’s $BTC as an example: it’s now at 77,238, with a 24h change of -1.33%. This kind of market action just happens to confirm the principle above. It’s not coincidence—it's human nature repeating itself in the market.
You’ve all heard the principle. What’s hard is whether you can actually do it when that moment comes. Make a note, and look back later to compare.
The recent high and low points are 0.123780 / 0.071360, with trading volume of 0.46B USDT.
0.071360 is the key support to watch right now. If it breaks below, there won’t be any obvious place for bids to step in. Above, 0.123780 is the resistance for this round; until it rises above that level with volume, any rebound should only be regarded as a rebound.
In this time window, liquidity is thin, so price can be pushed around by small orders—wicks and “painted doors” aren’t unusual. If you really want to take action, don’t chase the market price when placing limit orders, and don’t set your stop-loss too tightly.
The recent high and low in this period are 2,485 / 2,406, with trading volume of 896 million USDT.
2,406 is the support that should be watched most closely right now. If it breaks below, there isn’t any clear spot where buyers will step in. On the upside, 2,485 is the resistance for this leg. Unless it can rise above that level with strong volume, any rebound can only be treated as a temporary bounce.
Liquidity during this time window is relatively thin, so price can easily be pushed around by small orders. So there’s nothing unusual about spikes (wicks) and “painting the chart”/false moves. If you really want to take action, don’t chase the market price—place limit orders instead. Also, don’t set your stop-loss too tightly.
I copied this passage into my notebook and翻訳 it from time to time.
A lesson is mentioned in Graham’s *The Intelligent Investor*: Graham compares the market to a manic-depressive patient who reports a price to you every day. When he’s excited, he quotes you an outrageous price; when he’s depressed, he sells you at a bargain. Your job isn’t to catch his illness—it’s to take advantage of his emotions. In the crypto market, this “market gentleman” has flare-ups several times a day.
Take today’s $BTC as an example: right now it’s 77,200, with a 24h change of -2.03%. This kind of chart action perfectly illustrates the principle above. It’s not a coincidence—human nature is repeating itself in the market.
This sounds simple, but in practice it takes a lot of tuition.
The market is right there—being anxious changes nothing.
The recent high and low in this period are 78,934 / 76,676, with trading volume of 1.200 billion USDT.
76,676 is the key support to watch right now. If it breaks below, there isn’t a clear next “buyer coming in.” Upward, 78,934 is the resistance for this round. Until it breaks above with volume, any rebound should only be treated as a rebound.
Liquidity in this time window is relatively thin, so prices can be pushed around easily by small orders. Wicks and fakeouts are nothing unusual. If you really decide to act, don’t chase the market price with limit orders; and don’t set your stop-loss too tight.
I just turned to a paragraph and froze for a moment.
There’s a principle mentioned in the context of “character/role-setting”: The people who shout a lot in the public square find it hard to change their tune and turn bearish the next day, because they have to maintain their persona. You don’t have that burden of persona—this is the only advantage retail investors have: you can admit you were wrong at any time.
Take today’s $ETH as an example: right now it’s 2,436, with a 24h -1.75%. This kind of market action perfectly confirms the principle above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself on the chart.
Between knowing and doing, there are several rounds of liquidations. The market is right there—being anxious won’t help.
Read an old saying and suddenly it clicked with today’s market.
In my readings of insights from many trading books, I came across a principle: After reading dozens of investment books, I finally found that all the lessons point to the same thing: control yourself. It’s not that the market doesn’t give opportunities—it's that you’re trying too hard to grab every chance. Lighten your position, make fewer moves, and wait for opportunities.
Let’s use today’s $ETH as an example: At the moment, it’s 2,440, down 2.87% over the past 24 hours. This kind of market movement perfectly confirms the lesson above. It’s not a coincidence; it’s human nature repeating itself in the charts.
Looking back, the places where I stumbled are all written into that sentence.
I went over today’s market structure before bed. Honestly, today’s price action carried quite a lot of information.
Today, BTC ranged between 76,676 and 79,395, and finally closed at 77,186, down 2.42% for the day. What’s most worth watching here isn’t the rise or fall itself, but whether the trading volume keeps up. Today’s volume was 1.278 billion USDT—honestly, not very active—which suggests market sentiment remains fairly cautious.
On the ETH side, it was a bit weaker: down 2.61% for the day, closing at 2,436, with a trading range from 2,406 to 2,513. The correlation with BTC is still very clear—if BTC doesn’t move, it’s hard for ETH to run independently.
The most intense move today was $?—up ? for the day, with成交 ?. This kind of走势 usually means either capital was positioned in advance, or emotion-driven battles are amplifying volatility.
Today’s most important signal: whether BTC can increase volume at key levels will determine the next direction. Tomorrow, I’ll focus on whether BTC at the xxx level can hold.
Save some ammunition—it’s stronger than anything else.
For the whole day -3.36%, closed at 76,923, with a high/low of 79,679 / 76,676. Trading volume was 1.258 billion USDT. Today’s volume is quite sincere.
What’s most worth remembering today is that BTC is still digesting the selling pressure. If tomorrow can find support around 76,676, there may be room for the trend to continue. But if tomorrow’s open gets slammed directly downward, then today’s move is most likely just a short-term trade.
Someone asked me what I think when looking at the charts. The line that comes to mind is this.
In *On Protracted War*, there’s a principle: This is a protracted war. It isn’t a short-term game of kill-or-be-killed; it’s a long-term tug-of-war between your own discipline and human nature. Every time you feel the urge to chase, ask yourself one word: Why the rush?
Take today’s example: $BTC . Right now it’s 77,144, down 3.00% over 24h. This kind of chart action perfectly confirms the principle above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature showing itself repeatedly in the market.
Looking back, the places where people trip up are all written into this sentence: Wait for the signal, don’t wait for your mood.
The recent high and low in this period are 2,521 / 2,442, with trading volume of 637M USDT。
2,442 is the support that needs to be watched right now. If it breaks below, there won’t be any clear spot for buyers to step in. Above, 2,521 is the resistance for this leg. Until it can stand above with volume, any rebound should be viewed only as a rebound。
Liquidity in this window is rather thin, so price can be pushed around by small orders—needle wicks and “painting doors” aren’t unusual. If you really do take action, don’t chase the market price when placing limit orders, and don’t set your stop-loss too tight。
ETH is currently at 718.55 this evening, down 4.14% in 24h.
Today’s full-day range is 715.45 to 751.69, with trading volume of 134 million USDT. During this evening time window, ETH is most likely to follow BTC’s moves. If BTC suddenly rallies, ETH will most likely catch a wave as well; and if BTC plunges, ETH will be hard-pressed to stand aside.
If you want to take action this evening, it’s recommended to keep an eye on the support level at 715.45. If price holds, you can consider trying a small position; if it breaks, wait for the next support.
What’s most worrying is getting carried away emotionally at night—don’t rush in without thinking it through.
I read an old saying and suddenly it matched what’s happening in today’s market.
In *The Turtle Trading Rules*, it explains a principle: Dennis taught a group of complete beginners to make money in just two weeks, proving that trading can be taught. But with the same set of rules, some people profit while others lose—the difference is only in execution. The rules aren’t hard; what’s hard is doing them day after day.
Take today’s $BTC as an example. Right now it’s at 77,980, with a 24h change of -1.39%. This kind of market action perfectly confirms the idea above. It’s not coincidence—it's human nature repeating itself in the chart.
Between knowing and doing, there are several rounds of liquidation.
The market is about to close, and today $HOLO really is worth discussing.
The whole day is down -5.91%, with trading volume of 0.85B USDT—making it one of the most active coins on today’s board. The price surged from 0.062700 up to 0.067900, and has now pulled back to around 0.063700.
This kind of movement suggests the money hasn’t fully left yet, but short-term profit-taking is also coming out. The key point to watch tomorrow is whether it can continue to pick up volume around 0.063700. If the volume can’t keep up, it will likely dip back a bit; if it keeps expanding, then the upside space will open up.
Did you catch this move today? How do you feel about this coin tomorrow?
Read an old saying, and suddenly it matched today’s chart.
About a principle mentioned in diversification: Putting all your money on one coin—if you win, it’s luck; if you lose, it’s inevitable. Diversification isn’t to increase returns; it’s to ensure you still have another chance when your judgment is wrong.
Take today’s $BTC as an example: Right now it’s 78,171, with a 24h change of -1.88%. This kind of market action perfectly confirms the idea above. It’s not a coincidence—it's human nature repeating itself in the chart.
We’ve all heard the principles; what’s hard is whether you can actually do it in the moment.
