#数字货币市场洞察 Can you make a million in a bear market? Practical breakdown of compounding strategies

Are there really opportunities to make money in bull and bear cycles? The key isn’t how big your target is, but how solid your base is. If you can first save up 1 million in cash, just earning a 20% annualized return puts you ahead of most office workers—that’s something real and tangible.

I’ve been active in the trading market for many years. Success doesn’t come from frequent small trades, but from breaking compound returns into several concentrated bursts—that’s the core logic of compounding strategies. Use small positions to get a feel for the market, and when a signal is confirmed, go all in. Both bull and bear markets have opportunities.

What kind of signals really count?

First type: After a large decline followed by long-term consolidation, a sudden spike in volume and upward move—this is when the probability of a trend reversal is high. Second type: The daily chart breaks through a key moving average, volume increases, and market sentiment clearly shifts. Third type: Public opinion is still overwhelmingly bearish, and retail investors are hesitant, but smart money might already be positioning.

How do you actually execute?

Start with a principal of 50,000 (can be previous profits), use isolated margin, keep total position under 10%, leverage up to 10x, and set stop loss at 2%. Once a breakout is confirmed, enter with the first wave of increased positions, and for every 10% rise, use newly earned profits to open more positions. Discipline is key throughout—no all-in bets, no averaging down, no holding losing positions indefinitely.

Catch two main surges of 50% each, and you’ll have your 1 million.

Remember the golden rules of risk management: don’t chase short traps, don’t bet on declines, and don’t follow meme coins. Every time you realize profits from compounding, withdraw 30% to lock in gains—don’t let greed ruin your whole plan. The market will always be there, but impatient people are the ones who crash.
