The logic of the crypto market in 2025 has completely reversed. A year ago, I was still trading altcoins based on the four-year cycle theory, but I was caught off guard—a 35% to 60% drop directly woke me up. The turning point came when I discovered a set of data: a leading platform's ETF continued to see a net inflow of $25 billion, with institutional holdings reaching 24%. That’s when I realized that the main stage of the market has shifted from retail speculation to institutional allocation.

After realizing this, I completely changed my strategy. I abandoned small coins with liquidity issues and turned to mainstream assets, focusing on targets heavily held by institutions. On the execution side, I adopted a dual-core resonance strategy using EMA+RSI—using EMA10 and EMA50 to determine trend direction, and RSI14 to filter out false signals. In practice, I traded swings within the $84,000-$126,000 range for BTC, using 1-hour K-line charts for short-term rhythm, and daily charts to confirm medium- and long-term trends. Stop-loss was set at 2%, take-profit at 4%, with a strict risk-reward ratio of 1:2.

Honestly, in 2025 I didn’t catch those doubling stories. But with this disciplined system, I still achieved stable profits throughout the year. The key is that a market dominated by institutions is actually more stable—volatility narrows, and the price center is slowly rising. This is the new market law.

Looking ahead to 2026, I will continue to focus on two directions: policy windows and ETF capital flows. Finding opportunities amid institutional accumulation and shakeouts is much more reliable than blind speculation.
