Countless myths of sudden wealth circulate in the crypto world, but those who can truly hold onto their wealth often rely not on flashy techniques but on a seemingly clumsy yet fundamentally sound set of survival rules. Today's 'three no-touch six deadly kills' strategy is so feared by big players because it pierces through the core truths of market games with the simplest logic.
I. Three No-Touch Rules for Trading: Step on one and you'll be poor for three years!
① Avoid the gambler's mindset of 'chasing highs and killing lows'
90% of retail investors lose money because they always follow the trend during market frenzies. When the community is full of shouts of 'XX coin is going to the moon' and the exchange's K-line chart is glaringly red, it's often a signal that the big players are ready to offload. When BTC broke $100,000 in 2024, most investors who chased the highs are now stuck at the peak — real experts quietly positioned themselves at the end of the 2023 bear market when exchanges crashed and the media was bearish.
Anti-Human Operating Principle: When even the vegetable vendor around you is discussing cryptocurrency trading, it's the best time to reduce your position; when no one in your social circle dares to mention 'cryptocurrency', you should quickly top up your wallet faster than a food delivery guy.
② Avoid the 'All in' gambler mentality
Putting all your assets into a single cryptocurrency is essentially betting your fate. When a certain MEME coin skyrocketed 100 times in 2025, among the investors who bought in with their entire capital, 95% lost everything in the subsequent crash. Top traders always maintain a 'third-third-third' account structure: 30% cash reserves, 30% mainstream coin base, 30% hot coin flexible positions, and keep the remaining 10% for unknown risks — when BTC dropped from $110,000 to $98,000, only those holding cash could shout 'I’m greedy when others are fearful.'
③ Avoid the stubborn belief of 'holding on with full positions'
The cruel truth of the crypto world: the market will not change because of your position. Smart hunters never go all-in because they know: keeping bullets means you can pick up bloody chips when a black swan arrives.
II. Short-Term Six Deadly Kills: Every move targets the big players' weak spots!
❶ The Tactical Shift During Consolidation: See through the big player's 'false breakout' trap
Consolidation at a high level for more than 3 days? Beware of the big players creating 'false breakouts' to entice buyers! In 2025, a certain altcoin consolidated at $1.5 for a week before suddenly surging, trapping buyers at the $2.3 peak; consolidation at a low level with decreasing volume? Don’t assume it’s the bottom — in 2024, ADA consolidated at $0.3 before suddenly plummeting to $0.15. Real signals for change: follow volume breakouts, stop-loss during downtrends; better to kill wrongly than to step on a landmine.
❷ The Law of Liquidation During Consolidation: 80% of losses die from itchy fingers
Data shows that the liquidation volume during consolidation is three times that of one-sided trends! In May 2025, during BTC's consolidation at $102,000, the contract market saw $1.2 billion in liquidations in a single day, mostly from gamblers 'guessing the direction.' The method of veteran traders: during consolidation, set your phone to 'focus mode', or directly transfer funds to a spot account — when your fingers itch, it’s better to go for a run than to stare at the screen.
❸ Bearish Line Buying Method: A large bearish line is a signal to pick up money
The Essence of Contrarian Trading: When a coin drops 15% in one day and forms a large bearish line, it’s not time to panic sell but to set conditional buy orders. When ETH dropped from $2,400 to $2,200 in June 2025, investors who bought on the bearish line profited three days later at $2,350. Remember: the length of the bearish line determines the strength of the rebound; the larger the drop, the higher the probability of a short-term rebound.
❹ The Principle of Accelerated Decline: The sharper the drop, the stronger the rise
The crypto world has the 'Waterfall Rebound Law': slowly declining coins often struggle to rebound; whereas coins that plummet in a waterfall fashion often see rebounds exceeding 50%. When SOL dropped from $180 to $8 in 2022, investors who entered at the end of the crash maximized their profits by 300% during the subsequent rebound. Next time you encounter a market that drops 20%+ in one day, be ready with your wallet — opportunities may be closer than you think.
❺ Pyramid Positioning Technique: Let the big players help you average your costs
The secret weapon of top Wall Street funds: increase your position by 20% every time it drops 10% in the bottom area. Assuming you start building a position in BTC at $100,000, adding more for every $10,000 drop can lower your final cost to $85,000, even lower than the big players' entry cost! When BTC dropped from $60,000 to $30,000 in 2023, investors using a pyramid strategy had a final cost 37% lower than those who bought the bottom at $40,000.
❻ The Liquidation Rule of Change: Principal first, profit second
Coin that has skyrocketed and consolidated for more than 2 days? Withdraw your principal immediately and let the profits continue to soar! After a certain DEFI coin surged 500% in 2025 and then consolidated, those who withdrew their principal ultimately made 4 times, while those who greedily held lost 80% of their profits. Coin that has plummeted and consolidated with decreasing volume? Cut losses faster than the big players can dump — after a certain dog coin plummeted and consolidated for 3 days in 2024, those who decisively cut losses preserved 30% of their principal, while those who hesitated ended up with nothing.
III. The Ultimate Advice for Retail Investors
The crypto world is never short of stories about overnight wealth, but what's lacking are those who 'live to see the bull market.' The core of this 'three no-touch six deadly kills' principle is not to teach you how to make the most money, but to help you survive in this predatory market — because only by surviving can you wait for the day BTC breaks $1 million and ETH reaches $10,000.
Risk Warning: Cryptocurrency is highly volatile; the above strategies should be used in conjunction with personal risk tolerance. There are no absolutely correct methods in the market; discipline and stop-loss will always be the first rule.
