I've been in the crypto circle for 8 years, starting from just 50,000 yuan to where I am now. Without any insider information, I never relied on any speculative shortcuts, let alone expect a market surge to send me flying. The reason I’ve made it this far is one simple trick—living a few years longer than others.

People often ask me why some can establish roots in this market, while others disappear completely after a wave of market movement. Honestly, it all comes down to this: understanding the rhythm of the market makers' actions and controlling that restless heart of yours.

Over nearly 8,000 days, I have repeatedly verified six ironclad market rules. They sound simple, but they really work:

Rule 1: Rapid rise followed by a slow pullback doesn’t necessarily mean a top. After a sudden surge, a slow correction is usually big funds exchanging chips and clearing out floating positions, not a trend reversal.

Rule 2: A quick drop followed by a slow climb isn’t an opportunity. After a flash crash, a slow ascent might look like a second chance to get in, but in reality, it could be the final stage of distribution. Don’t be fooled by the illusion of “the drop was harsh enough.”

Rule 3: High trading volume at the top isn’t something to fear; what’s scary is no volume at all. Continued turnover at high levels indicates market participants are still fighting, and there’s room for speculation. Once volume dries up, it’s likely calm before a big fall.

Rule 4: A huge bullish candle with volume at the bottom isn’t a reversal. True bottoms are formed gradually over days, with consistent volume. That’s a real signal of the main players building positions. A single large bullish candle? That’s just a smoke screen.

Rule 5: Price is only a surface phenomenon; trading volume reflects the true market sentiment. Instead of obsessing over candlestick charts, focus on volume. It tells you where market consensus lies and the real strength of bulls versus bears.

Rule 6: True experts dare to hold no position. Going flat isn’t giving up; it’s being clear-headed. Not chasing highs is rational restraint, and staying calm during declines is real confidence. Not obsessing over every wave allows trading to truly work for you.

I’ve stepped into almost every pit in the crypto world, walking every path. If you want to avoid some detours, the decision is in your hands.
