Want to make a living from the cryptocurrency market? Then don’t just blindly rush in. These 10 rules must be etched into your mind. They are lessons I’ve learned through my own ups and downs in the market, and I just want to share them with those who genuinely want to earn steady profits in this space.
The core logic of trading is actually very simple: If a strong coin has been falling for 9 consecutive days at high levels, this is the time to act decisively. After a pullback, there’s often an opportunity. For assets like $WET, this is how you should view them. Any coin that rises for two days in a row should be immediately scaled down in parts and taken off the table—don’t expect to catch the entire move.
Coins that increase by more than 7% in a single day are likely to surge again the next day, but at this point, don’t rush to buy. Observe calmly and make your decision. For major bullish coins, patience is even more important—wait until the pullback is complete and the trend stabilizes before entering. This can double your win rate.
If a coin has been consolidating for 3 days with no clear direction, wait another 3 days. If it still hasn’t broken out, decisively switch to another asset—don’t waste time on uncertainty.
Here’s a key point: If you can’t recover yesterday’s losses with the next day’s gains, it’s time to exit. Don’t fight the coin. After a coin rises for 2 days, look for a low point to enter. The market tends to follow the pattern “top 3 in the gain list are usually in the top 5,” so by the 5th day, it’s time to take partial profits.
Volume and price relationship is the soul of trading. Breakouts on low volume at low levels are the most worth paying attention to, but if there’s high volume at high levels without a rise, it’s time to exit quickly. Only trade coins in an uptrend: use the 3-day moving average for short-term opportunities, the 30-day for medium-term trends, and wait until the 80-day moving average turns upward—then the main upward wave is ready to be laid out.
Ultimately, the size of your capital isn’t the key—reliable methods, a stable mindset, and decisive execution are the real chips for turning things around. In the crypto space, making money isn’t about luck; it’s about respecting the rules and maintaining unwavering discipline.
However, the breakout with high volume at the low point is indeed excellent. I've tried the 3-day moving average combined with the 80-day moving average, and the win rate is much higher than blindly buying. The key is to be ruthless and exit the market; don't fall in love with a coin.
In this round of the market, I suffered a loss when I built a position in $WET. I thought a 5% single-day increase was safe, but it crashed the next day. Now I've learned to be smarter. I watch the gainers list, take profits when it’s time, and don't be greedy for that last bit.

Splitting positions and reducing holdings gradually sounds easy, but as soon as there's a limit-up, everyone rushes to buy in. Who doesn't have this problem?
---
Only consider deploying after the 80-day moving average turns upward. How much cash do you need to wait for that moment... I can't wait that long.
---
The most important thing to watch for is a volume breakout at a low level. I only saw this at high levels, and I still feel heartbroken when I think about it now.
---
Don't argue with coins—this really needs to be engraved in your mind. I stubbornly held on and lost thousands of dollars.
---
The top three gainers on the rise are always in the top five... Does this really exist? It seems more like survivor bias.
---
Mindset and execution are indeed important, but the prerequisite is to survive until the day you make money.
---
After three days of consolidation, switching after another three days sounds carefree, but in practice, it's just constantly cutting losses.
---
Eh, honestly, it's still a mindset issue. No matter how perfect fund management is, discipline is necessary.
---
Entering counter to the trend after 9 days of decline? I don't have the guts for that; there's an 80% chance of getting hit.
---
The rule that the top three on the gainers list must be in the top five has a bit of a mystical feel to it, tested personally.
---
That last sentence hit the mark; it's not luck but rules. But who really treats the 80-day moving average as a mother figure?
---
Wait, I've seen too many "false breakouts" with volume breakout at low levels. Am I the only one stepping into these traps?
---
Splitting positions to reduce holdings gradually sounds right. When you're greedy, you tend to ignore everything. Who hasn't been liquidated before?
---
After all this, the hardest part isn't choosing coins, but choosing your mindset.
Why do I feel this set of theories works well in a bull market, but crashes in a bear market?
Buying the dip after falling for 9 days? Dream on, keep throwing money until you get out.
Splitting the position and reducing holdings sounds right, but who doesn't want to maximize gains in a strong market? Easier said than done.
The 80-day moving average turning upward was already taking off, and the bagholders couldn't wait that long.
Is capital amount not the key? Then tell me how to withstand the drawdowns.
No matter how reliable the rules are, the market can crush your mindset. This circle isn't that simple.
Is this the so-called "I made money, so my method must be right" theory?
The relationship between volume and price is indeed the soul, but I still lost money when there was high volume at high levels and no price increase.
Main upward wave layout? Sounds like armchair strategizing after the fact.
Buying in after a 9-day decline? I think it's more like losing 9 times in a row. This kind of contrarian thinking is the easiest way to get trapped.
The key is still mindset. No matter how correct the method is, if you can't execute it, it's useless. That's where I always fail.
Waiting to act until the gain exceeds 7%? Then I must have missed out on dozens of 10x coins this year.
No matter how many rules there are, they can't withstand a sudden negative shock. The market doesn't follow the usual patterns.
---
Sell after 2 days of gains, sounds simple, but in practice, the mental test is too great
---
I've tried the 80-day moving average turning point, it’s indeed reliable, but the premise is that you have to survive long enough
---
It's all about fund management, mindset, and execution. It sounds nice, but in reality, no one can really do it
---
The relationship between volume and price is correct; high volume without price increase at high levels is a signal to escape. I agree with this
---
Is volume breakout at low levels the most worth paying attention to? That depends on whether it’s a real breakout or a false one. Sometimes it’s just a routine to cut leeks
---
Switching targets after 3 days of consolidation sounds easy, but in actual operation, the stop-loss points are a real test
---
Top three in the gain list must be in the top five? I’ve never heard of this rule. Please verify the data
---
Instead of fiddling with all these parameters, just stick to 1-2 coins you truly understand
---
If you can't make up for losses with next-day gains, then exit. This is the most heartbreaking because most people just refuse to admit defeat
