After years of ups and downs in the cryptocurrency world, I've witnessed countless cycles of rise and fall. I've distilled the blood and tears of my lessons into these 8 practical rules:

1. Utilize morning market momentum
The morning session is the market's 'bare-faced moment': If there's a sharp drop, don't rush to cut losses; it might be a window for 'bargain hunting'. If the market opens high and rises vigorously, don't be greedy; securing profits is the key — a strong morning surge often conceals the risk of a pullback.
2. Identify reality in afternoon fluctuations
Don't get overly excited during afternoon rallies; most of the time it's just 'false heat', chasing highs can easily turn you into a 'bag holder'. If there's a midday drop, it might be wise to hold back and wait for a lower entry the next day, as low-cost chips are often hidden after a pullback.
3. Don't panic during morning volatility
See a significant drop upon waking? Don’t rush to cut losses! Morning fluctuations are often 'smoke screens', and market reversals can happen in an instant; if the morning is stagnant, it’s better to shut down and sleep — trading during no volatility is like giving the exchange transaction fees for free.
4. Trading discipline determines life and death
If you sell before reaching your target price, it’s a loss (even if it’s just a small profit, it’s still a loss); if you buy before hitting your psychological support level, it’s like 'catching a falling knife'. The sideways phase is the most chaotic; trading during this time is like 'shooting arrows with closed eyes', so keep your hands steady and wait for clarity before acting.
5. Candlestick patterns hide secrets
Buy on bearish candles, sell on bullish candles — classics that never go out of style: A bearish candle indicates 'price dumping', and if you don’t enter now, when will you? A bullish candle signals a 'short-term emotional peak'; securing profits is the smart move.
6. Seek opportunities through contrarian trading
When others are greedy, I am cautious; when others are fearful, I am greedy. When the market is collectively euphoric, maintain a level head; when the community is overwhelmingly bearish, dare to position yourself — niche opportunities often lie in 'contrarian consensus'.
7. Cultivate patience during consolidation
Sideways movements at high levels and fluctuations at low levels test your mindset the most. The more anxious you are, the more mistakes you'll make; it’s better to lie back and observe — wait for clear breakout signals (such as a volume increase or a breakdown), then strike hard for a doubled win rate.
8. Be decisive in the final surge
Sudden surges after a period of consolidation at high levels? This is 'the last hurrah'! Don’t hesitate, sell first out of respect — securing paper profits is what’s real; greed will only lead to profits slipping through your fingers.
Trading in the cryptocurrency world is essentially 'human nature gaming + discipline execution'. Remember: The market is always there, opportunities arise every day; preserving capital and adhering to discipline is the key to surviving longer in this zero-sum game.$BTC $ETH #美国加征关税 #下一任美联储主席人选 #美联储比特币储备
