On the day she went ashore, she only had 20,000 yuan. Eight years later, her account had grown to 50 million.

She cried. "Teacher, I cried until I couldn't sleep last night."

That was before 2017.

At that time, she seemed to have won—sweet middle school romance, marrying into a wealthy family, having a son, and her circle of friends all envied her. It wasn't until a certain WeChat message exposed everything that she realized she had been "deceived."

The divorce agreement was signed quickly. Her private savings were only in the five-figure range. She moved out of the villa with her child and into a rental apartment. Her best friend advised her: "You don't know anything. How will you live after divorcing him?" She didn't reply, only made a vow in her heart: not to rely on looks, not to rely on men, to raise her child on her own, and to regain her dignity.

In May 2017, she came to me and said, "I want to learn something that can turn things around."

I told her, "First, learn to hold a vacant position. Not every dip needs to be bought."

Then I enrolled her in a small class and taught her six fundamental trading principles—nothing about getting rich quickly, just about surviving and thriving long-term in the crypto world.

**Volume indicates market intent**

Rapid upward moves but slow declines? That’s the market maker absorbing positions. But if there's a sharp rise followed by a sudden plunge? The scythe is coming.

**Flash crashes are like blades**

Fast drops combined with slow rises usually signal distribution. Those "V-shaped rebounds" after a flash crash? Don’t think about picking up bargains; it’s all blood inside.

**Volume shrinkage at high levels is most dangerous**

High volume at the top doesn’t necessarily mean a crash, but if the price remains sideways with shrinking volume over a long period? That’s the calm before the storm.

**Confirmation signals are needed at the bottom**

A single volume spike isn’t enough. After a series of shrinking volume and consolidation, a new volume increase is the real start of accumulation.

**Candlesticks show the past, volume shows the voice of the market**

Shrinking volume indicates market apathy; increasing volume shows capital is expressing itself. Understanding volume means understanding the market’s pulse.

**The highest state is a mindset of no attachment**

Daring to hold a vacant position and wait, not fixating on a single asset, not chasing highs, and not panic-buying during fear—this isn’t Zen, it’s ultimate risk control.

Eight years have passed. She turned 20,000 yuan into 50 million. Her child attends an international elementary school. She bought herself a small flat—not a luxury mansion, but a place truly hers, where she can sleep peacefully.

Yesterday, she messaged me: "I am no longer anyone’s wife. I am my own port."

The crypto world never lacks opportunities; most people just can’t see them. The most desperate moments are often the most lucrative opportunities. When you think the sky is falling, the biggest wave is already brewing.
