Day 75 · Volatility is the Breath of the Sea
Open the volatility indicator, that line rises and falls, like the sea's breathing.
When the wind is calm, it stays low, lazy, as if it has forgotten how to move. At this time, the market is quiet, trading volume is thin, and everyone is waiting — waiting for the wind to come.
On the eve of a storm, it begins to rise, little by little, like the tide slowly swelling. Then the giant wave arrives, with candles flying up and down, panic and greed alternating within the same hour.
After the wave passes, it gradually recedes, like someone finishin

Day seventy-four ·
Open the chart, switch the cycle to weekly.
All the noise on the daily chart, the spikes on the hourly chart, the panic on the minute chart—disappear. The candlesticks become sparse, each representing a week, like the tree rings, quietly recording the passage of time.
I’m used to drawing an EMA60 on the weekly chart. Not because it can predict the future, but because it tells me: over the past sixty weeks, the market’s average cost has been here. Those rises and falls that once kept you awake at night are just small bumps on this line.
Zoom out enough to see a whole

Day Seventy-Three · The Clouds Parted
Continuous days of dark clouds, today finally a crack appeared.
Not the kind of clear sky with thunder, but the clouds slowly tearing apart themselves, revealing a small patch of blue.
Very small, like someone poked a hole in gray cloth with a finger. But this tiny patch of blue made the whole afternoon different.
Sunlight seeped through the crack, slanting onto the wall of the building opposite, golden and warm, as if someone had pasted a warm pack there.
The trees downstairs immediately cast shadows, long and lazy, stretching toward the east.

Day Seventy-Two · The Seed Doesn't Speak
Last week, I planted a few seeds in a flowerpot.
Watered them every day, watched every day. The soil was still the same soil—brown, loose, nothing happening. Sometimes I couldn’t help but want to dig them up to see, but I was afraid of disturbing them.
This morning, the soil cracked open a tiny crack. Very small, so small that you wouldn’t notice if you didn’t look carefully. When I got closer, I saw a tender sprout peeking out from the crack, bending over, with a little bit of soil on top of its head.
It doesn’t speak. You don’t know what it has gone t

Day Seventy · The Rain Has Stopped
It's not the heavy downpour, but a fine, continuous drizzle, like someone tearing cotton in the sky. The rain makes people impatient, makes them forget what a sunny day looks like. Clothes can't dry, quilts stay damp, and even the mood starts to mold.
But this morning — the rain has stopped.
When I pull back the curtains, sunlight floods in, so bright I can't open my eyes. The potted pothos on the windowsill, which had been drooping, now stands upright, water droplets still hanging from the tips of the leaves, sparkling. Someone downstairs is drying blankets,

Day Sixty-Nine · Waiting for the Next Tide
In the early morning, I go to the seaside, and the tide has receded very far.
The rocks are exposed, with tiny shells crawling on them. Seaweed hangs over the stones, damp and wet, like it just cried. The ripples left on the sand are in circles, like tree rings.
I stand on the shore, feeling that the sea has changed. The usually blue water has now retreated to the horizon, revealing large patches of gray-brown mudflat.
It feels a bit unfamiliar.
But I know, the tide will come back. Every day. It just pulls back to rest for a while, and when the moon c

Day 68 · Waiting for a Butterfly to Break Free from Its Cocoon
Yesterday at the park, I saw a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
Very slowly. First, an antenna peeked out, wiggled, as if testing the world. Then the other antenna, then the head, then the body. The wings were wet, crumpled, stuck to the body, like an unopened umbrella.
I crouched nearby and watched for a long time. I wanted to help, but didn’t dare to touch it.
After about ten minutes, the wings slowly unfolded. Not all at once, but gradually, as if someone gently smoothed them out. A few more minutes later, it flutt

Day 65 · Waiting for the River to Thaw
In the afternoon, I went for a walk in the suburbs and saw the river still covered with ice.
It’s not the thick, white, opaque ice, but thin, transparent ice, with water visible underneath. The sunlight shines on it, sparkling like a layer of broken glass.
Squatting down to look, I saw cracks on the ice surface, thin and winding, like rivers on a map. Following the cracks inward, I saw water slowly flowing underneath—calm, unhurried, knowing that spring will come.
It reminded me of childhood back home, when the river froze in winter and children played on

Day 62 · Waiting for a leaf to stand up again
The morning glory on the balcony was blown over by the wind yesterday.
The vine was leaning askew, the leaves pressed against the soil, and the flower buds facing downward, as if apologizing to the ground. I tried to help it up, but it was soft and couldn’t stand. Forget it, let it rest for a night.
This morning, I looked again—and it had stood up on its own.
The vine wrapped around the railing again, the leaves stretched toward the sun, and the flower buds also lifted their faces, pink and tender. As if nothing had happened.
I squatted there and w

Day 61 · The neighborhood after the rain, the air carries the smell of earth.
Puddles reflect the sky, a shallow pool, clouds swimming through it. The leaves are wet and shiny green. A bird is singing, hiding somewhere in a tree, its call crisp and clear, as if saying goodbye to the rain.
I stand by the window and watch for a long time.
Thinking about the market situation these days.
The group chat has gone quiet, no more sharing screenshots, even the KOLs who give signals have posted fewer updates. Someone asked: What should we do? Cut? Run?
I don’t know.
But what I do know is — the rain will
