#美联储重启降息步伐 Over the weekend, I reviewed a case that’s quite representative.
A friend of mine, Amin, is a manager at a major company. He just entered the crypto space last month and immediately suffered a setback—an unrealized loss of over 500,000. To make matters worse, he’s getting married and buying a house at the end of the year, so this hole really messed him up. All he could think about at work was the K-line charts. When he came to me, his account only had 12,000U left, and he was filled with anxiety.
I looked over his trading records—classic case of chasing highs and panic selling. So I suggested he steady his pace. On the weekend, when the market was flat, I scanned the top gainers list and noticed POWER had an interesting trend—had corrected enough previously, and started showing volume and rising on Sunday.
Technically, there’s clear support around 0.216, with resistance at the previous high of 0.25. I told him to set up a long position near 0.216, with a take-profit target at 0.248(—not a round number, since those levels tend to get absorbed early; setting it at 0.248 makes it easier to catch the move). At 4am, the trade hit the target perfectly and exited.
This single trade earned him 270,000U. He’s still short 220,000 to break even, but at least his mindset is now steady.
Many newcomers aren’t lacking in effort—they lack direction. Mainstream coins like ETH and BTC are relatively stable and good for building positions, but if you want to recover losses quickly, the explosive power of altcoins is definitely stronger—as long as you know how to read the charts and when to act. The market never lacks opportunities; what’s lacking is the judgment to seize them.
The Fed’s rate cut expectations are rising again, and such macro signals often drive changes in capital flows. The next few weeks could bring another round of structural market action.

Perfectly taking profit at 4 a.m. sounds easy, but in reality, it just means you guessed correctly, right? When it comes to altcoins, sometimes you recover 270,000 in one move, and other times you go to zero instantly. It all depends on whether your timing is based on skill or luck.

Oops, it's another story of chasing gains and selling losses. But when it comes to turning back from 270,000, it all depends on probability. Not everyone can hit the 0.248 mark.

Stuck at 0.248, this tactic is really brilliant. Most people would never think of this detail at the whole number threshold.

Cashed out precisely at 270,000 at 4 a.m.—that's some ruthless technique. But I can't help feeling that this altcoin strategy is just like gambling. If you're lucky, you break even in one go; if not, then what?

ngl this reads like classic exit pump pattern dressed up as "mentorship"... actually if you read the contract on POWER, those vesting unlocks hit next month lol

Taking profits and exiting at 4 a.m.—that’s a ruthless move. But snagging an order right at 0.248 still comes down to luck; it’s not always going to be this smooth.
