#数字资产市场动态 $POWER Over three years, from 2022 to 2025, I have witnessed my account jump from seven figures to eight figures.



$TRU To be honest, the most valuable thing behind these numbers is not the zeros.

$AT What truly changed me was understanding a principle — I finally can avoid being hijacked by anxiety and emotions.

Compared to the previous generation, who traded real industries and engaged in e-commerce relying on physical strength, era dividends, and luck; our generation is different. Our real opponent is actually our own inner demons.

After experiencing so many bull and bear cycles, I am increasingly confident: technical thresholds determine whether you can make money, but mental quality determines how far you can go.

Through repeated validation, I have summarized these 8 deeply rooted insights —

**1. Bitcoin is always the guiding star**

Want to trade Ethereum or small-cap coins? First, look at what big brother BTC is doing. This is basic common sense and also a trading discipline.

**2. Bitcoin and stablecoins are naturally barometers**

Tightness in USDAT often hints that risk appetite is retreating; conversely, loose U may mean the market is gathering strength. This isn’t an iron law, but it’s enough to serve as a risk control reference.

**3. Be highly alert from 0:00 to 1:00 AM**

Price spikes, stop-loss scans, liquidity testing — these aggressive moves tend to happen during this period. Experience tells me not to make unprepared decisions at this time.

**4. The 6 to 8 AM morning session is a test of emotions**

If the market has been crashing overnight and still continues downward at this point, it’s often an opportunity after emotional release; on the other hand, if it’s soaring overnight and still rising in the morning, it’s probably a sign of a shakeout before a rally. This time window is extremely valuable and should not be wasted.

**5. Be extra cautious at 5 PM**

Once the US market opens, market sentiment shifts incredibly fast — sharp rises and falls happen in minutes. At this time, chasing trades without a plan is the biggest taboo.

**6. "Black Friday" is just a reference, not gospel**

There are historical records, but no规律. Sometimes it recovers in a few days, sometimes it takes a whole month. If you have U, split your positions to optimize costs; if not, stay calm and wait. The most dangerous thing is emotional, impulsive trading.

Reaching this point, I’ve realized:

The market is never short of strategies and routines; what’s truly scarce is execution and patience.

Those who keep making money are not necessarily holding some “winning secret,” but have developed: calmness during retracements, clarity during profits, knowing when to hide and when to strike.

This path is never about who runs faster, but about who can stand firm during the most painful moments.

I don’t speak these words lightly; they are accumulated over three years and every point of rise and fall in my account.

Seven digits to eight digits, sounds great, but really, the mindset is the hardest part. Mindset is the watershed; no doubt, many people fail because of this. I have deep experience from 0 to 1 AM, too many times being wiped out by sudden drops. BTC is indeed the benchmark, but it's still easy to be fooled by it, especially when dealing with small coins. The switch at 5 o'clock in the US market, rapid rise and fall, can really change your account in just a minute. You're right, listening to rules is fine, but don't take them seriously; execution is still key. Having the U or not U mindset makes a difference; most people get stuck because of reckless operations. Calmness and patience, easy to say but very hard to do; you've truly developed these over the past three years.

Sounds good, but how come I couldn't avoid the one between 0 and 1 a.m.? Being swept so badly made me doubt my life.

Honestly, my mindset is still far from where it should be. I can't sleep every midnight at 0:00.

Well... it sounds nice, but how many people can truly hold on without selling from 0 to 1? Mindset is the hardest thing to cultivate.

It sounds good, but my experience is that the wave around midnight is the easiest to get liquidated. Don't say I didn't warn you. This guy's summary is quite insightful, just lacking practical details. Having a good mentality is useless; the key is knowing when to move and when to shrink. The midnight to 1 AM period is indeed a knife-edge moment; I usually just sleep to avoid it. To put it nicely, try staying "calm" after a 30% retracement and see if you can really keep your composure. Making money is a continuous process of denying yourself; today's truth is tomorrow's joke. I agree with that, but most people can't withstand the first big retracement and just run away. It's a bit overly romanticized; technical analysis and luck are often more critical than mindset. I don't see the tightening and loosening of stablecoins as precisely as some say; it seems more tied to the Federal Reserve's moves. It's really not that mysterious; the phrase "living is harder than making money" hits the mark.

Making money and avoiding losses, to put it simply, are two sides of the same coin. Mindset is truly valuable.
