Having been in the crypto circle for 10 years, I've grown from 50k to 30 million. These are ironclad rules earned with real money, no nonsense, straight to the point.



First, sharp rise, slow decline—hold tight and don't shake.
When the coin price surges quickly, then drags down slowly—don't sell impulsively. This is just the market makers washing you out, messing with your mind to take your cheap chips. What really kills you is the "guillotine": a 40% surge, then a 50% drop in three hours. That's a bull trap, targeting the naive FOMO buyers.

Second, sharp drop, slow rebound—don't rush to bottom-fish.
When a waterfall comes, followed by a small bounce—don't think "it's fallen so much, it should rise." Wake up. This is a smoke screen for the big players to distribute. The last fake rebound is designed to trap those who think they're smart.

Third, watch volume at highs; if no volume, get out fast.
If the price tops out with sustained high volume, there might still be meat left. But if it's consolidating at highs with volume as dead as stagnant water—leave early. Without fresh blood, a crash is only a matter of time. Remember: volume at the top sustains life; volume shrinking at the bottom signals the true bottom.

Fourth, abnormal moves at the bottom—don't get excited; sustained volume is the real deal.
After a brutal decline, suddenly a massive green candle appears—don't get hyped; it might be a fake move by the big players. You need to watch for sustained volume: six months of consolidation with shrinking volume, then continuous accumulation of volume—that's real trust-building through hard fighting.

Fifth, trading crypto is about human psychology; volume precedes price.
Just looking at the K-line won't make you win; you're watching how a crowd goes crazy. Trading volume is the mirror of emotions. Price is the dog led by emotions; volume is the leash. Like before the PEPE surge in 2025, on-chain trading volume rose for 7 consecutive days, doubling—once volume moves, price goes wild.

Understand one of these five rules, and you're already on the path to winning. If you can master three, you can ignore 90% of the retail investors in the market.

The hard-won lessons from ten years of blood and tears: the fifth point, volume precedes price, indeed hits the mark—how many have died by only looking at K-lines without checking on-chain data.

I really understand that part when the volume shrank at the top. Back in 2021, when ETH was around 4800, the volume just couldn’t keep up—I stubbornly held on for three days before it finally broke loose, and I ended up losing only about half.

The term "guillotine" is so vivid—last year I got caught chasing PEPE, and now seeing a 40% surge makes my legs go weak.

The PEPE example given in Article 5 is interesting. When people monitor the market, they all first look at on-chain trading volume; sentiment indicators are more honest than technical indicators.
