Holding a few k in hand, feeling envious of the stories in the crypto world, but also afraid that stepping into the market will "blow up" my account?
Want to turn things around but scared off by risks? The key is actually to find the right approach.
Let's get straight to the point—getting rich from contract leverage is basically an illusion. According to statistical data, on just one trading day in February 2025, over 220,000 people globally faced liquidation, resulting in total losses exceeding $1 billion. Retail investors using leverage are mostly just self-destructing.
Don't expect small funds to turn around while hoarding coins. Without a capital of millions, you can't withstand the volatility at all. If you want to take profit after a 20% increase and cut losses after a 10% drop, this mentality won't allow you to hold any trend.
What is truly feasible? Ultra-short-term sniping.
Aim for high volatility varieties like SOL and WIF — SOL can soar 8% in a single day, WIF has recently risen over 4% in the last 24 hours, trading volume has surged by 15%, and liquidity is sufficient, making it difficult to get stuck in orders. A daily average profit of 5% means decisively exiting; accumulating small gains is the key.
How to enter the market? Three signals are indispensable:
Breakthrough of MA20/MA50 moving averages on the 1-minute chart, with trading volume increasing by over 200%, then go long; a long lower shadow on the 15-minute chart without breaking the previous low is a bottom-fishing signal; when the Crypto Fear & Greed Index is below 30, watch for counter-trend coins on the gainers list, as there are often opportunities at this time.
You must develop the habit of setting profit-taking and stop-loss orders. Cut losses at 3% immediately and take profits in batches at 6%.
You also need to watch out for common traps - some coins have huge orders but their prices are stagnant, which is a bait-and-switch. If you see the second hand smashing down and breaking the support level only to quickly pull back? That's a wash trading, and you can confidently buy the dip.
Making money in the crypto world relies on rhythm rather than luck. Master these techniques, and even small funds can accumulate step by step.

220,000 people Get Liquidated for 1 billion dollars, this data makes my scalp tingle, really don't touch leverage.
Short-term sniping sounds good, just afraid that I don't have that determination.

220,000 people Get Liquidated for 1 billion USD... Looking at this number, I feel like my few thousand in the crypto world is like an ant gnawing on an elephant's leg. Really, don't touch leverage.
Short-term sniper sounds like a plan, but can a daily average of 5% really be stable? It feels easier said than done.
I agree with sticking to take profit and stop loss, but I'm afraid that a shaky hand might lead to being Played for Suckers again. Who hasn't experienced such moments?
This wave of SOL and WIF is indeed surging. Recently, the bullish rankings are a bit restless, but I still want to observe first. I don't want to become one in 220,000.
The rhythm is more important than luck. This phrase hits home, but the question is how to grasp this "rhythm" well?
I still think that some things are clearly stated in words, but it's not that easy in practice.

Laughing to death, 220,000 people Get Liquidated for 1 billion USD, this data is enough to keep me happy for a year.
Daily profit of 5%? Brother, you are teaching us how to steadily lose money.
With MA moving averages and fear indices, after this set of combo moves, what can small funds even have left?
Talking about a stop loss of 3% is easy, but actually doing it can really blow up one's mindset.
This is the crypto world, either make quick money and get played for suckers, or steadily earn 5% and have your mindset worn down over time.
WIF and SOL, these two old buddies, looking at their rise, I feel like my account is being put into an ice coffin.
Relying on rhythm instead of luck? Then I can only blame myself for being so unlucky all these years.

220,000 people Get Liquidated for 1 billion USD, this data is really incredible, retail investors are still fantasizing about leveraging their way back...
Saying you can easily make a daily profit of 5% sounds easy, but during actual operations, that mindset can break down.
