#数字资产市场动态 I have been in the crypto world for 8 years. Starting from borrowing 20,000 yuan at the beginning to managing over 50 million yuan in funds now, this journey has not been smooth.
There’s nothing mysterious about it. I didn’t catch those so-called super bull markets, nor do I have insider information. I simply repeated a "rigid to the core" trading system mechanically for over 3,000 days. During this time, I experienced margin calls, cut losses, and felt despair. It took eight years to truly understand some useful things.
I have summarized them into 6 iron rules, and I’m sharing them with everyone today:
**1. Volume determines direction**
Rapid upward moves but gentle declines are usually institutions accumulating. Those sudden drops after sharp rises are the real signals of harvesting.
**2. Flash crashes are knives**
A rapid fall and slow rise mostly indicate distribution. A rebound after a flash crash is not an opportunity, but a trap.
**3. Shrinking volume at high levels is the most dangerous**
High volume at the top doesn’t necessarily mean a crash, but long-term sideways movement and shrinking volume at high levels? That’s the calm before the storm.
**4. Bottoms need confirmation**
One round of volume-based accumulation doesn’t count. Wait for continuous oscillations, volume drying, and then a strong volume surge—only then is the bottom reliable.
**5. Candlesticks are the fruit, volume is the cause**
Market sentiment is reflected in volume. Shrinking volume = market apathy, expanding volume = capital flooding in. Understanding volume means understanding the market’s pulse.
**6. Zeroing your mindset is the highest realm**
Dare to hold cash, don’t be obsessive; avoid greed, don’t chase highs; don’t fear, dare to buy the dip. This is not Buddhist detachment, but top-tier trading mental discipline.
The market in the crypto world is always there; what’s lacking is never the market itself, but mindset and discipline. Most people don’t lose to speed, but to chaos in the dark.
Having walked through many pitfalls, I want to light a lamp for those coming after. The market is brewing; don’t stumble blindly in the dark alone anymore.
A rebound on declining volume is easily trapped, and historical data shows that the odds of chasing highs are never favorable.
This trading system sounds good in theory, but the real question is whether you can stick with it after resetting your mindset. Most people give up before reaching the third year.
The core factors of trading volume and mindset really hit the mark. So many people just lose their minds when buying in at high levels.

The aspect of trading volume is indeed a learned skill; the period of shrinking volume and sideways movement is the easiest to get trapped
---
Resetting your mindset sounds simple, but how many times do you have to blow up your account to truly understand
---
I've fallen into this trap before when confirming the bottom; a surge in volume would push me in, only to be a false breakout
---
The period of shrinking volume at high levels is truly terrifyingly quiet, then it drops sharply
