I'm Brother Xin, a veteran in the cryptocurrency world, having been in the space for eight years.
Relying on studying the contract trading system, my highest record is over 10 million, and I have also experienced downturns.
But I am still doing very well now. Why am I able to survive in such a brutal market?
Actually, it's very simple. I have always adhered to these six iron rules.
The six survival rules in the crypto space, beginners can remember:
① Rapid rises and slow corrections, mostly absorbing funds $EDEN
If the market surges sharply and pulls back slowly, it's usually big capital quietly accumulating.
Don’t be scared off by a few small bearish candles; the main force is trying to shake you out.
Focus on the overall rhythm, not just one K-line.
② Sudden drops and difficulty in rising, beware of distribution $AIA
A sudden crash followed by a weak rebound is mostly the main force distributing.
At this point, don’t think about “bottom fishing,” you might be catching it halfway up.
③ High volume at high levels doesn’t necessarily mean a top
Many people panic when they see high volume at high levels, but sometimes it’s a prelude to further upward movement.
The real danger is shrinking volume at high levels, meaning no one is willing to buy in, which signals the market is about to cool down.
④ Volume at the bottom, look for multiple signals to be confident
If there’s only one large volume spike at the bottom, it could be a false move.
But if it happens repeatedly, it indicates genuine consensus forming, making the market more stable.
⑤ The core is emotion; trading volume is the answer
Don’t just focus on complicated indicators; ultimately, the market is a game of human nature.
Where emotional consensus exists, trading volume is the most honest.
Understanding volume means understanding most of the market.
⑥ Cultivate “detachment” to last long
To go far in the crypto space, you must learn to be “not greedy, not afraid.”
Those who can patiently hold cash and wait for opportunities are the ones qualified to seize real big trends.
Finally, I want to say:
The biggest enemy in trading is not news or policies, but your own mindset.
The market is always full of uncertainties, but opportunities are also present.
Stay calm, control your hands, control your heart, and you will have a chance to make it to the end.
