During that wave in June 2025, I grew my account from 26,000 USDT to 100,000 USDT. Looking back over those 30 days, it still feels a bit unreal.

It wasn’t some god-level operation—just three moves that worked together perfectly:

Step one was building a reverse position. Most people were chasing longs at the time, but I noticed on-chain data showing that long positions were way overloaded, so I decisively opened a short position. The market actually did pull back, so I made profits on both sides.

The second move was farming airdrops. That month, two projects happened to have airdrop windows. I used idle funds to interact and ended up with 3,300 USDT, basically free money at zero cost. I added this directly to my principal pool.

The third was splitting positions + coin-margined combos. I split my holdings into three parts, each with a different take-profit target, and used coin-margined contracts to avoid the liquidation risks of USDT-margined ones during high volatility. Every time there was a pullback, at least part of my positions stayed safe.

To be honest, during that period I was glued to the screen until 3 or 4 a.m. every day, always ready to adjust positions on my phone.

A lot of people later asked me how I knew the pump would be so strong.

I don’t have foresight. But when capital flows, position distribution, and on-chain anomalies all signal the same thing, the probabilities lean in one direction. The rest is just sticking to discipline—cut losses when needed, add positions when needed, and don’t let emotions cloud your judgment.

There really are a lot of opportunities in crypto, but not many people actually catch them.

Most people lack three things: the ability to see the right direction, the self-discipline to control greed, and the execution to carry out their plan.

I’m writing this recap not to brag about my account numbers, but to say—when the market gives you an opportunity, you have to be ready to catch it.
