8 years in the crypto world, from 300,000 to hundreds of millions, I rely solely on the simplest method

I am 36 years old this year, from Shenzhen, and have been trading cryptocurrencies for 8 years
When I first entered the crypto space, I only had 300,000 yuan in my account. At that time, I knew nothing, just like most people, chasing rallies and selling on dips, listening to rumors to make trades, and I paid a lot of tuition fees.
Over the years, I’ve slowly figured things out, and now my funds have grown to hundreds of millions.
Many people think I have insider information or a powerful trading system. Actually, I don’t.
The reason I’ve survived until now is because of a very simple method: watching volume, observing sentiment, and taking it slow. In these 2880 days, I’ve summarized six most practical iron rules.
If you understand just one, you might reduce your losses by ten thousand.
If you can truly follow three, you’re already ahead of over 90% of retail investors.
Rule 1: Rapid rise, slow fall, most likely the market maker is eating up
Many people see the price suddenly surge and start to panic, thinking it’s about to fall, so they sell quickly.
But if after a quick increase, the price only pulls back gradually with a gentle rhythm, this is often not a top but a sign that the main force is shaking out and absorbing orders.
Rule 2: Fast decline, slow rise, most likely the market maker is retreating
Some coins suddenly crash with a big red candle, then the price slowly climbs back up a little.
Many retail investors see this pattern and think, “It’s fallen so much, it should be about done.”
Rule 3: High volume at a high level doesn’t necessarily mean the end; no volume is dangerous
Many people see the price rise to a high point and think it’s about to collapse.
But if the trading volume is still increasing during this stage, it indicates that market sentiment is still strong, and the trend can sometimes push higher.
Rule 4: Don’t get excited about volume at the bottom; sustained volume is more reliable
Many people see a sudden surge in volume at the bottom and think the main force is entering, rushing in to buy the dip.
But often, this one-time volume spike is just a bait.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned over the years is this:
Exploring the market alone can easily lead you astray.
If someone can help you see the rhythm clearly and avoid pitfalls, many detours can be prevented.
Trading is a long journey, no need to bear it alone.
A single tree cannot make a forest, and a lone sail cannot voyage far.
If you’re still exploring in the crypto space, I hope these experiences can help you pay less tuition.
