The cryptocurrency market has recently plunged into another wave of volatility. The start of the year has been particularly fierce—Bitcoin has plummeted from its all-time high of $126,000, dropping over 30%, with the critical $85,000 level repeatedly tested; mainstream coins are also not doing well, all falling sharply. Within a single day, over $228 million was liquidated across the entire network, with more than 160,000 investors being wiped out.

There is actually a clear logic behind this round of sharp decline. Regulatory actions have been frequent—EU's MiCA regulations have officially taken effect, and the US is also embroiled in legislative disputes regarding crypto, with policy uncertainties being the most frightening. Plus, institutional funds are starting to take profits, and retail investors, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, are panic-selling. Under this double pressure, volatility is amplified infinitely.

But to be fair, anyone involved in the crypto market knows that turbulence can both force people out and create opportunities. The key is whether you can survive until that moment. Traders who truly make it through have a set of skills: strictly controlling positions without greed, constantly monitoring key support and resistance levels, and maintaining composure during sharp rises and falls. Only then can you stand firm before the market finds its next direction.
