#数字资产市场动态 Traders who have been doing trend trading for a long time will encounter the same wall—realizing that they are not competing with the market to be smarter, but rather learning to dance to the rhythm of big funds. Who wasn't initially captivated by technical indicators? Repeatedly studying candlestick patterns, stacking oscillators one after another, always feeling that mastering another set of tactics would lead to more wins.
Reality will slap you hard. These complex tools are powerless in the face of a real trend; no matter how fancy your analysis, if the direction is wrong, it's just wasted effort. The pulse of the entire market is one—big funds move, and retail traders should follow where they go. Don't stubbornly go against the trend to prove how sharp your vision is.
Look at those savvy main players; the trend direction has long been clear. Your job is just to follow the trend, not to gamble every day on when the next turning point will come crashing down. The larger the cycle, the more genuine the logic behind the movement. Fluctuations on hourly or daily charts? Just illusions. The tug-of-war between bulls and bears repeatedly crushes traders' emotions. But the weekly and monthly charts? That’s where the consensus of funds has settled. Any arbitrary opposition will only be crushed time and again.
So more and more people prefer trading on larger cycles. Rather than seeking excitement, it’s more about being tired of the noise. No need to stare at the screen all day, no need for frequent operations. Instead, you can hold your positions more steadily and avoid being shaken out midway.
When the trend truly starts, don’t get caught up in the details. The key is to bet on the right direction, not that every candlestick is perfect. Overly focusing on details makes you more likely to be shaken out by oscillations—that’s not caution, that’s self-destruction. If the main direction hasn’t reversed, small pullbacks are opportunities to add positions. If your judgment is wrong, just cut losses and exit—there’s no need to regret.
Real trend markets are actually very tolerant. Even if you make a few mistakes, as long as you get the direction right in the end, the subsequent inertia-driven rise will be enough to wipe out all costs. Trading ultimately is about subtraction—avoiding chasing small fluctuations and not frequently switching directions, sticking to one main line. There are only two things you need to manage well—controllable risk per trade and a sufficiently large profit target. In essence, trading isn’t about fancy techniques; it’s about having a clear understanding of the situation. Those who understand the trend will become more calm, trade less frequently, and in the end, have more capital left.

Damn, this is the real truth. It took me two months of daily oscillation torment to realize.

That's right, guys. Studying all kinds of indicators every day is really a waste of effort. You only realize what being "cut" means when chasing gains and selling losses.
When big funds move, the entire market comes alive. Small retail investors should just follow honestly and not always think about defying the odds.
Weekly and monthly charts are the real market, while daily fluctuations are just to trap stop-losses. I've seen too many get caught out by details.
Widening your perspective to a longer cycle actually makes making money much easier. No need to watch the market all the time; a calmer mindset is actually more stable.
Trading is actually very simple. As long as the direction is correct, everything else doesn't matter. Don't make it too complicated for yourself.

That's right, I was also brainwashed by the K-line patterns, and only later did I realize that it was making things more difficult for myself. The big timeframe is the key, and now everything is starting from the weekly level.

Pain points, always being cut by small cycle noise for quick gains, and before I even understand, I get educated.
That's right, the weekly chart is the real deal, while the daily fluctuations are purely psychological games.
Exactly, I'm the kind of fool who gets shaken out every day by watching the market, I should have learned to let go long ago.
The way stop-loss is discussed is really harsh; admitting mistakes is a hundred times better than holding on to losses.
Actually, greed has harmed people; always trying to buy the bottom or sell the top, but the more you play, the more you lose.
Long-term users passing by, indeed, their mentality is much more relaxed, and their sleep has improved.
Honestly, the rhythm of big funds is the way to go; small retail investors shouldn't waste effort fighting against the trend.
This is probably a lesson learned through experience; it took a lot of tuition fees to realize this.
