#美联储重启降息步伐 I know a seasoned veteran in the crypto market who has been hustling in this industry for over ten years.

Starting from just over 200,000, he worked his way up to nearly 90 million, witnessing this round of bull and bear markets. Now in his early sixties, he lives a simple life—staying in an ordinary house, riding a small e-scooter, and bargaining even when buying groceries.

He often says: "Only those with a down-to-earth attitude can stand firm, and only steady traders can hold onto profits."

He never relies on insider information to make a comeback, nor does he go all-in on luck. It's all based on a few trading principles he's accumulated over more than a decade. I'm sharing these today, hoping they might help you avoid some pitfalls.

**Rule 1: Rapid surges followed by slow pullbacks—that’s the rhythm of accumulation**

After the main force pushes up the price, they won't dump right away. They use the pullback to accumulate more chips. At this stage, most retail investors overreact and get shaken out.

**Rule 2: Weak rebound after a sudden plunge means someone is bailing**

This is not a bottom-fishing opportunity—it's a trap lying in wait. Don’t fantasize about picking up bargains.

**Rule 3: High-volume at the top doesn't always mean doom; low-volume declines are the real killer**

High volume at highs is mostly a sign of chips changing hands—a normal shakeout. The real danger is a decline on low volume—it signals that nobody is willing to buy.

**Rule 4: The bottom needs repeated high volume, not just a one-time spike**

Multiple rounds of high volume show that the main force is truly building a position. When emotions are ignited, only then can the trend sustain itself.

**Rule 5: Understanding human nature is more reliable than looking at indicators**

Don’t get trapped by all sorts of technical tools. At its core, the market is a game of human nature, and trading volume is the truest reflection of market sentiment.

**Rule 6: The highest level of trading can be summed up in one word—"idle"**

No obsession, no greed, no fear. Far fewer people can withstand periods of holding no positions than those who are good at trading.

The real opponent in crypto isn’t the whales or market volatility. It’s your own desires, fantasies, and that ever-itchy finger wanting to press the buy button.

Opportunities in the market are endless. What’s rare are those who can stay calm, endure loneliness, and stick to their rules.

Most people fail in trading not because of the market, but because of that restless version of themselves late at night.

On this path, what you need is not to work harder, but to have the right guidance.

Only with the right mindset can you walk out of the darkness.

May you also find your own guiding light.
