What is it like to be woken up at three in the morning by a life-threatening series of calls? I experienced it just last week. I opened WeChat, and my college roommate's voice came through with an echoing cry: "buddy, fifty thousand yuan just disappeared, and now even eating instant noodles requires splitting the HT to save up..."

Listening to his intermittent sobs, I quickly went through it in my mind—it's the same old trick of chasing highs and cutting losses. The worst part is that he claimed to have "precisely" timed the bottom, but ended up buying halfway up the hill. After a long pause on the other end of the line, he blurted out: "I really don't want to keep getting cut! You have to help me!"

To be honest, after being in this circle for eight years, I've seen more crashes than bull markets. But the market doesn't care if you cry; it won't soften its heart. At that time, I saw his account balance was just over four thousand, so I thought for a moment and tossed him a few of my "counterintuitive operation methods" that I had summarized. And the result? In less than three months, this guy sent over a screenshot of his account showing one hundred twenty thousand, along with a message: "Order whatever you want for barbecue tonight, buddy treats!"

**First move: When market panic strikes, pick up the chips others have discarded**

Newbies get weak in the knees when they see a crash, while veterans fear the kind of price action that suddenly spikes down and then instantly rebounds. However, in my view, that quick rebound after a sharp drop is precisely the best opportunity to take advantage of. It's not about going all in, but rather keeping a close eye on two things: the short-term moving average (EMA20) and the long-term support (EMA144).

If the price breaks below the support level and quickly bounces back between these two lines, it's like a child throwing a tantrum, running around in circles, and then sulking back home—at this point, lightly touch the position and set a 5% take profit before exiting. Don't complain about making little money; this is the "hard-earned fee" that the market gives. My buddy followed this for the first time and made two hundred bucks, so excited that he sent out eight red envelopes, saying: "This is way better than losing two thousand by guessing blindly!" Remember this phrase—when panic sets in, fight...
