At two in the morning, the trading software is still flashing red, but the backend just popped up the fourth automatic profit-taking reminder. Someone in the community just posted a lament about their 'principal being reduced to only 10%', yet my account's return rate quietly rose by 2 percentage points. This is the most realistic portrayal of the crypto world: some turn their hard-earned money into meteors on the K-line chart, while others continuously harvest using the same logic. As someone who has been watching the market for seven years and has experienced three bull-bear cycles, today I share seven bloody survival rules from the heart; those who understand them are already posting their profit orders in the backend.
The temptations during chaotic periods are traps; waiting for signals is more important than seizing opportunities.
When the MACD is buzzing around near the zero line like a lost bee, and the trading volume fluctuates wildly without any pattern, the old players are asleep. Newcomers, however, are often lured by the slogan of 'the next hundredfold coin' and become restless, ending up crashing into the oscillating meat grinder set by the main players nine times out of ten. Remember, all opportunities during unclear trends are illusions; you must wait for the 5-day and 10-day lines to form a clear bullish divergence, and for the trading volume to break the 20-day average for three consecutive days before entering the market, which is the right way to follow the trend. Waiting with no positions may be torturous, but it is far more dignified than being trapped and staring at the charts every night.
When the hot coins are in a frenzy, it’s time to run with stop-losses; 72 hours is a life-and-death line.
New coins that suddenly flood the community are 90% bait thrown by capital. Last week, a certain AI concept coin surged 400% in one day, but a closer look at the order book reveals the truth: the turnover rate was always below 12% during the rise, which is a typical self-pumping and singing manipulation technique. When you deal with such coins, you must act like a bomb disposal expert, setting a 3% automatic stop-loss upon entry, and taking profits in three batches — sell half at a 30% target price, then sell 30% more at 50%, and leave the rest to luck. Don’t believe the project's 'long-term value investment' nonsense; the lifespan of hot coins in the crypto world is shorter than that of internet celebrity products. If you don’t retreat within 72 hours, you may turn from profit into deep losses.
In a main uptrend, you must learn to 'play dead'; getting off the bus at a 3% pullback is a common ailment of retail investors.
Those who panic and take profits after a 20% rise will never experience a doubling market. Last month when ETH surged from $1900 to $2500, how many people rushed to secure profits at $2100? When a real bull market starts, the Bollinger Bands will open upward like a balloon being inflated, and the best thing to do is to turn off price alerts. The main players are best at washing out positions with a 3%-5% pullback; the more you nervously stare at the minute charts, the easier it is to fall into the cycle of 'selling at low points and chasing at high points.' Remember, patience in a main uptrend is worth more than precise top-ticking.
A huge upper shadow is a signal to exit; trading volume never lies.
When a certain coin suddenly releases its largest trading volume in half a year, but the K-line shows a long upper shadow, don’t hesitate; execute the 'one-click clear position' shortcut. Recently, a certain public chain token released massive volume at the $60 position; during the live stream, I shouted 'retreat' three times. At that time, some people criticized me for missing the chance, but looking back, that 'lightning rod' became the starting point of losses for many. The main players will never announce their selling, but the combination of trading volume and K-line patterns can never hide their little tricks.
Moving averages are the footprints of capital; true opportunities arise when they converge and diverge.
Setting the 5-day, 10-day, and 30-day moving averages as three 'capital tracks' is more reliable than any insider information. For short-term trading, watch the 5-day line for support; if three consecutive candlesticks cannot hold, reduce your position. For mid-term trading, focus on the 30-day trend; as long as there is no combination of 'closing price falling below for two consecutive days + increased volume,' you can hold with peace of mind. Last week, when BNB pulled back to the 30-day line, I advised members to add positions; looking back now, it was indeed a golden entry point. The fluctuations during the convergence of moving averages are all noise; only when clear divergence occurs does it signal the beginning of capital consensus.
Being greedy in a crash and fearful in a surge; only by going against human nature can one make big money.
When there are wails all over the group, it is often a good time to build positions; conversely, when everyone is shouting 'bull market,' you should tighten your sell orders. Last year, a certain stablecoin's collapse triggered a massive market crash; how many people panicked and cut off their bottom holdings? A real trend will not be interrupted by a single-day crash; it’s like the first doji following consecutive bullish candles, which often serves as a turning point alert. 80% of profit opportunities in the crypto world occur when most people are scared; this is a saying that has been repeated until the lips are worn out, but only less than 5% can truly practice 'being greedy when others are fearful.'
Position management is a lifeline; being alive allows you to wait for big fish.
Never trust the gambler's logic of 'turning a bicycle into a motorcycle' with a single bet. My building strategy always follows the 'three-three rule': the first entry should not exceed 1/5 of the total funds, add 30% if the price falls below the entry price by 5% with decreased volume, and increase the remaining half once it rebounds to the breakeven line. This method allowed my holding cost to be 15% lower than the market price during last month’s BTC volatility. Remember, the first rule for survival in the crypto world is not how much to earn, but how long to survive. Keep enough bullets so that when the real bull market comes, you have the confidence to press the buy button.
