#2026年比特币价格展望 $XRP Short-term Reversal Record: My Five Lifesaving Rules

That period was really tough, losing money chasing highs and getting caught at the bottom, feeling the pain of account shrinkage. It wasn't until I started using a few strict rules to constrain myself that I gradually stopped the bleeding. Sharing with everyone, maybe it can help you avoid detours.

**Rule 1: Don't chase the highs before a breakout**

Thinking of jumping in when you see the top gainers? That's the fastest way to lose money. My current approach is to wait until the price retraces to the lower or middle Bollinger Band before considering entering, making the entry cost more reasonable and reducing the chance of getting caught.

**Rule 2: Don't buy all the dips**

Many people can't open their eyes when they hear "bottom fishing." The key is to see if the price is truly stabilizing, especially watch the 1-hour chart. Wait for a consolidation pattern to appear before acting; otherwise, rushing in will only enlarge losses.

**Rule 3: Choose the right trading times**

Around 2:30 PM and after 10:30 PM, market volume is usually very light, and the trend becomes blurry. I now generally avoid these times because there are too many uncertainties.

**Rule 4: Volume is the compass**

Fake breakouts and false volume surges are everywhere. I only enter when volume clearly increases. Those candlesticks without supporting volume, no matter how good they look, I don't trust.

**Rule 5: Don't bargain over stop-loss**

Every entry should be supported by a clear logic, and a relatively tight stop-loss should be preset. Once triggered, exit decisively—don't hope for a rebound. The benefit of this is to keep losses within expected limits, giving yourself a chance to turn things around.

From continuous losses to gradually stopping the bleeding and then making small gains, following this discipline has stabilized my mindset a lot. The key is not how much you earn, but to survive first, then you can win.
