#数字资产市场动态 I have been navigating the crypto world for nearly ten years. I started trading at age 29, and now at 37, my capital has reached eight figures. In recent years, I spend my days watching the market and executing a few contract trades, so I don't worry much about money. With a net worth exceeding ten million, life has become much more peaceful. I haven't experienced many complex business disputes, so I have fewer worries. Over the years, I’ve accumulated some trading insights and want to share them with everyone — I’ve found that mindset always comes before technical skills.

**Market Structure Observation**

Bitcoin plays the role of the leader in the crypto space. Most of the time, the rise and fall of other assets depend on BTC’s movements. Of course, cryptocurrencies like $ETH with stronger fundamentals can sometimes move independently, forming unilateral trends, but the vast majority of altcoins still cannot escape Bitcoin’s influence.

An interesting pattern: Bitcoin and USDT often fluctuate inversely. When USDT is rising, be alert that Bitcoin might be about to fall; conversely, during Bitcoin’s upward phase, it’s usually a good time to accumulate USDT.

**Trading Secrets at Key Time Points**

The time window from 0-1 AM is prone to price spikes. Domestic traders can seize this period to place low buy and high sell orders for their favorite coins before sleep. Maybe they’ll get filled overnight — lying down and making money is indeed possible.

6-8 AM is a critical analysis period. The trend from 0-6 AM can tell you a lot: if prices keep falling during this time, and continue to dip from 6-8 AM, it’s a good opportunity to add to positions or open new ones, as a rebound is likely that day; on the other hand, if from 0-6 AM prices keep rising and 6-8 AM hits new highs, it’s time to consider reducing positions or taking profits, as the market may turn downward that day.

5 PM is also worth paying attention to. This time often involves time zone differences, as US traders start to enter the market, bringing noticeable volatility. Many sudden large surges or drops have occurred during this period, making it a relatively reliable observation window.

The term "Black Friday" has been circulating in the crypto community for a long time. Historically, there have been several Fridays with sharp declines, but there are also Fridays with big gains or sideways movement, so accuracy isn’t guaranteed. Instead of superstition about specific dates, it’s better to focus on fundamental news.

**Philosophy of Holding and Averaging**

For coins with sufficient trading volume and liquidity, declines are not scary. Patience and holding for a short period of 3-4 days or up to about a month usually recover the investment. If you still have idle USDT, averaging down can effectively lower your cost basis and speed up breakeven; if you have no extra funds, don’t rush — time will tell the answer — unless you’ve really bought junk coins.

The returns from spot long-term holding versus frequent trading are quite different. Sticking to long-term spot holdings of the same coin often yields better results than constantly flipping. The key is whether you have the patience and resolve.

Markets are always there, and arbitrage opportunities are everywhere. Using a systematic trading mindset to understand market cycles can help you find your rhythm in this foggy investment world.

Eight-digit net worth discusses mindset; I've heard this theory too many times. --- 0-1 point for entering, 6-8 point for analysis... Bro, this time code is impressive. Why does it feel like every time period is a trading opportunity? --- Adding positions to lower costs is indeed a brilliant move, but I'm just worried about adding to trash coins, turning costs into liabilities. --- Black Friday has already failed, and some still believe. In the face of market conditions, time patterns are just illusions. --- Mindset comes before technicals, but no matter how good your mindset is, a broke person without the right mindset is useless. --- Can spot trading really win long-term with frequent trades? I see it as survivor bias talking. --- BTC blood-sucking dumps still need to be so gentle; just say that altcoins are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. --- "Making money while lying down" clearly sounds like armchair strategy after the fact. --- The inverse fluctuation pattern of USDT... If it were really so predictable, the coin price would always be fixed.

Another story of earning eight figures in ten years... Interesting, data shows that such narratives are most likely to appear at the top of the crypto bubble. 0-1 o'clock pinning, 6-8 o'clock analysis, 5 p.m. US market entry... Ironically, these "secrets" are discovered by someone every week, only to become invalid the next week. "Time will tell," unless you bought trash coins—bro, isn't that just a way of saying "I only make money by luck"? Not to offend, but anyone who experienced 2018 should understand that averaging down to reduce costs is the easiest way to turn small losses into big ones. Is mindset > skills? Fine, then how do you explain why people with good mindsets also frequently get liquidated?

Eight-digit players speak from experience. I love this rhythm, but to be honest, maintaining the right mindset is much easier to talk about than to actually do. --- Woke up to find the order executed? Bro, I’ve had that dream of passive income, but I ended up losing even faster. --- I need to note down the inverse fluctuation between BTC and USDT. Feels more reliable than Black Friday. --- Ten years of ups and downs, and I only reached eight figures. I’ve condensed half a lifetime of lessons in three years, and I still lost. --- I’ll try the 6-8 AM time window. I almost got liquidated during this period yesterday. --- The philosophy of adding positions sounds like someone with skills is just relaxing. It’s really tough to watch the drop without USDT in hand. --- Frequent trading is less effective than long-term holding. I hear this every time, but when the market surges, I just can’t help but want to sell. --- Mindset comes before technical analysis, but if your technical skills are poor, a good mindset is useless. There’s a bit of a logical problem here. --- The wave when Americans entered the market at 5 PM was really obvious. I got burned a few times before realizing this pattern. --- Have you ever stepped on a shitcoin? My two painful lessons have led me to this conclusion: “Unless you’ve really stepped on a shitcoin.”

Eight-digit numbers... I can't quite handle it haha That's right, maintaining the right mindset is really important. I've seen tech geniuses who lose money every day. I've used the 0-1 order placement trick before, and it really feels great to wake up and see it executed. But when it comes to adding positions, it still depends on whether you have spare funds. Don't even think about it when you're broke. I default to the inverse pattern of BTC falling and USDT rising; it still feels pretty reliable. Those time-based password theories seem a bit over-interpreted. Markets don't follow such strict rules. I've calculated the difference between long-term holding and frequent trading, and long-term holding really yields better returns.

Earning a million dollars so easily, I feel like I'm just listening to a story... However, that wave of injecting funds between 0-1 o'clock does have some substance, but the key is whether there is enough USDT to take over. Mindset first, technology second? Come on, no matter how good your mindset is, if you lack risk control awareness, you'll still get chopped up by the market. That time window from 6-8 o'clock, I remember it was often set up by the market makers as well, everyone should be cautious. I've also observed the inverse fluctuation pattern between BTC and USDT, but it seems to have become invalid in recent months. Maybe the market structure has changed? Making money while lying down... sounds easy, but how many can actually do it? Most people are still just chasing highs and selling lows frequently. Long-term spot trading is indeed stable, but only if you don't pick trash coins. Brothers who have stepped on pits should resonate.

Eight-digit net worth sounds impressive, but honestly, with the market so volatile in recent years, who dares to completely sit back and relax? The period from midnight to 6 a.m. does have some tricks; I used to try placing orders before sleep, and the success rate was decent. But I think the hardest part is still mindset. No matter how much technical knowledge you learn, it's useless. Many people panic at the slightest big drop. I've noticed the inverse relationship between BTC and USDT; it seems you really need to watch the market more to grasp the rhythm. I don't believe in the Black Friday hype; it's better to trust the fundamentals, and that's correct. Speaking of holding long-term spot positions, it can really make money, but it tests human nature. Most people can't do it. The wave of US traders entering around 5 o'clock was indeed aggressive; several times, the market was pushed up during that time. Wait, about a month to break even? How strong does the coin have to be? I feel some still need half a year to recover.

Sharing trading tips at this point with an eight-digit net worth is quite interesting. Why not just start a course directly? Listening to "making money while lying down" is just for fun. Who can really make money isn't persevering in loneliness? If you say mindset is more important than skills, then you need to see how your mindset is when you've lost 80%. Spot trading for the long term is indeed stable, but it also depends on the coins you choose. Trash coins are a waste no matter how long you hold them. The 0-1 point pinning trick, domestic night owls can try it, but don't take too large a position. BTC is really the one that sets the tone; other coins are just following trends. Occasionally, independent market movements are just good luck. The theory of averaging down to lower costs isn't new. The key is having spare funds; poor people simply don't have this luxury.

Eight digits are not enough; it takes nine digits to truly sleep peacefully. That's right, a good mindset is the capital for survival, and technical skills are secondary. The 0-1 point injection trick is indeed effective. I often pick up bargains at this time, and sometimes I make a deal when I wake up and check. When USDT rises, I run. I've also noticed this pattern, but it depends on the fundamentals; you can't rely solely on the magic of timing. The idea of adding positions to lower the average cost has been heard too many times. The key question is, do you really have USDT? Most people are empty-handed. The 6-8 point analysis is a bit mysterious. I feel it still depends more on luck. The 5-point volatility is indeed obvious. Several margin calls happened around this time—blood and tears lessons. Black Friday is pure nonsense; it can crash any day of the week, depending on whether the main players are in a good mood. I'm confident in long-term spot trading; it's much more stable than frequent trading, but it tests patience.
