This freshly graduated college student poured all his startup money into the cryptocurrency market, chasing high-priced altcoins that are now plummeting severely.

He stared at the candlestick chart muttering: "They say this is a pullback."

I pulled up the trend chart: "Remember the first iron rule — a fast rise and a slow fall means the big players are accumulating."

That night I drew a diagram: a certain coin suddenly surged 30% at midnight, then slowly pulled back to its high two weeks later."

Boiling frogs in warm water, "I tapped the screen, "when retail investors enter, it will crash."

Before I finished speaking, the coin collapsed 40% the next day. Xiao Chen's notebook began to fill up with six iron rules.

In the second week, he sent a screenshot: "This coin falls fast but rises slowly!"

I opened the daily chart of a worthless coin, which plummeted from $2 to $0.8, then rebounded to $1.2 for three consecutive days. "The second trap,"

I explained in a voice message, "when the big players run away, they will leave a lifeline. " Three days later, the coin went to zero.

In the deep winter, Xiao Chen began to operate independently. When he focused on platform coins, I reminded him of the third rule: "A high volume at the top doesn't necessarily mean death; a lack of volume is dangerous."

After the coin hovered at $3.5 for half a month, it suddenly surged to $4.2 with high volume, then fluctuated around $3.8. "A sign of a breakout,"

I pointed to the intraday chart, "but be careful..." That night he sent a message: "Sure enough, it broke through $4.5!"

Before the Spring Festival, Xiao Chen waited for a new public chain token according to the fourth iron rule. After the price oscillated around $0.08 with low volume for five days, it suddenly showed moderate volume for three days.

"Buying signal!" His hand trembled as he took a screenshot. The strategy of building positions in batches worked, and two weeks later, the coin rose to $0.3.

"The fifth rule is the core," I often say, "trading volume is the mirror of consensus." When the hype of meme coins peaked but the volume shrank, Xiao Chen immediately liquidated: "Sentiment and volume have diverged."

Now Xiao Chen's account has multiplied sevenfold, and what pleases me the most is that he has learned the sixth rule.

Last week, when Bitcoin plummeted, he proactively stayed out of the market: "Without obsession, one can see the market clearly." We sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, he pointed to the distant lights: "I used to think 'nothing' was negative, but now I understand this is the highest state."

As the rain stopped, the moonlight penetrated the clouds, and the numbers on the trading software continued to fluctuate.

The six iron rules are like six keys, opening the door to understanding for the lost.

From late autumn to early spring, Xiao Chen's story proves: in the tempting world of cryptocurrencies, what truly saves lives is not a hundredfold leverage, but respect for market rules.
