Looking at the trends of ZEC and ETH, I just want to say one thing — following the trend is the way to earn steadily.
Many people always think about buying cheap at the bottom or rushing out at the top. To be honest, while this idea sounds good, in choppy markets it often results in more losses and fewer gains in the end. Those frequent trades during consolidation can have their trading fees and slippage eat away at your profits.
The real big market moves and genuine opportunities to make money are always in trending markets.
When the market is in an uptrend, every pullback is a good opportunity to get in. You don't need to wait for a lower price because the power of the trend is enough to cover your entry spread. Conversely, in a downtrend, any rebound is just a signal to escape — don’t be fooled by rebounds, exit when it’s time.
The key point is this: as long as the trend is intact, don’t go against it. Trying to trade against the trend is like reversing on a highway — you’ll only end up in a ditch. The decline in US non-farm payroll data last week also confirmed this; the market is searching for direction again, and at this moment, the biggest test is whether you have the patience to wait for the trend to establish.
Sticking to the trend is far more effective than any fancy tricks.

Exactly right, but executing it is extremely difficult. A month ago, I was still catching flying knives at the bottom, and now I've lost everything, even my pants.

That's right, chasing trends is chasing money, and going against them is going against losses.

That's right, I just lost out due to frequent trading, and the transaction fees ate me up.

Exactly right, but too many people are greedy, insisting on perfectly buying the dip and selling at the top, and end up not even making back the transaction fees.

That's right, frequent stop-losses really are fee harvesters, with rebounds after rebounds after rebounds, and in the end, only fees are left.

That's right, the dream of bottom fishing and top selling can be deadly. It's better to honestly follow the trend and eat the gains.

That's right. In the past two weeks, I was wiped out by fees due to frequent trading. Now that I've adjusted to follow the trend, the returns are indeed much more stable.

That's right, you just have to go with the flow. I was messing around in consolidation for half a month, and the transaction fees almost broke my mentality.

That's right, people who frequently cut losses are just eating dirt in trading fees.

That's right, I used to get wiped out because I kept trying to buy the dip. Now I've learned to follow the trend, and it's much more comfortable.
