Over the years in the cryptocurrency space, I have gone from the brink of losing everything to steadily earning tens of millions each year. I never relied on insider information or stumbled upon a miraculous bull market; it was all about repeatedly using a set of 'simple methods'. In 365 days, I focus on one thing: treating trading like a game, and I feel uneasy if I don’t upgrade for a day.

Today, I’m going to share these 6 iron rules for surviving in the cryptocurrency market—understanding one can help you avoid losing a hundred thousand; if you can truly follow three, you’ll already be ahead of 90% of retail investors.

First rule: Rapid rises, slow falls—don’t rush to run away.
When prices rise sharply and fall slowly, it’s likely that the market makers are quietly accumulating. This 'rapid rise and slow fall' resembles a shakeout, and don’t be in a hurry to sell your holdings. The real top is often hidden behind a 'sharp rise followed by an immediate waterfall decline', which is a typical trap for the unsuspecting. If you encounter this, you need to decisively exit.

Second rule: Fast falls, slow rises—don’t think about picking up bargains.
When prices drop quickly and violently, but rebounds are slow, this doesn't mean the market is offering opportunities. It’s more likely the market makers are experiencing a 'flash crash' recovery, and the last blow may be hidden behind it. Don’t hold onto the illusion of 'it's already dropped so much, how much lower can it go?'; buying the dip in a bear market is more painful than being stuck in a high.

Third rule: Low volume at high prices is the real danger.
Volume at the top doesn’t necessarily mean the market is over; as long as funds are still coming in, there may still be a surge. However, if high prices suddenly become stagnant with a sharp drop in trading volume, that’s the eve of a crash. At this point, you need to stay alert.

Fourth rule: High volume at the bottom needs to be observed for sustainability.
High volume in a single day is meaningless; it may just be bait from market makers. A true signal for building positions is 'after a period of low volume consolidation, followed by several days of increasing volume'; this kind of well-prepared volume indicates that funds are quietly positioning themselves.

Fifth rule: Volume is the barometer of market sentiment.
The candlestick chart is just the result; the truth of market sentiment lies in the trading volume. When volume dries up, it means no one is playing anymore, and the market will likely continue to consolidate; when volume suddenly explodes, it indicates that funds are pouring in frantically. At that moment, you need to be vigilant and closely monitor the trend.

Sixth rule: The 'nothing' principle is the ultimate mindset.
No attachment—be willing to completely exit when it’s time to stay in cash, without being held hostage by the fear of missing out; no greed—never chase the price when it diverges from the trend, and don’t be the last one holding the bag; no fear—when prices drop to the value range, be brave to buy the dip and don’t let market panic disrupt your strategy. This isn't about being carefree; it's about using strict discipline to frame your mindset.

The cryptocurrency space is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is the self-discipline to control your actions, a stable mindset, and the insight to see through the situation. If, after reading this, you still feel confused, you might want to join the discussion group (link on the homepage) to brainstorm market trends with like-minded friends—profitable strategies are never developed in isolation; learning a little more and exchanging ideas will keep you further from pitfalls and closer to opportunities.
