As someone who has been navigating the crypto world for 8 years, today I want to share some "counterintuitive" truths. The only thing I did right was using the simplest approach to live longer than others. Many people ask me: why can some stay in the market long-term, while others can't endure a single cycle? The answer is simple — they understand the rhythm of the big players and keep their emotions in check. Below are 6 "survival rules" I have repeatedly verified. They are not complicated but very valuable. Rule 1: Rapid rise and slow decline are often not the top. When the market suddenly surges and then slowly retraces, it's mostly a shakeout or capital rotation. No need to panic and exit; Rule 2: Fast decline and slow recovery usually aren't opportunities. After a flash crash, if the price gradually climbs back, it may seem like a second chance to buy in, but in reality, it's often the tail end of distribution. Don't be fooled by the idea that "it's already fallen so much"; Rule 3: High volume at a high level doesn't necessarily mean death; lack of volume is a warning sign. If a high-level rally is accompanied by volume, there's still room for manipulation; but if the price consolidates and volume drops sharply, this "quiet" is often a precursor to a big drop. Rule 4: A single large volume at the bottom doesn't mean a reversal. The true bottom is forged over time — consistent volume over several days or weeks indicates serious accumulation by funds. A single big green candle is at most a "smoke screen"; Rule 5: Price is the result, volume reflects sentiment. Many focus on candlestick patterns, but volume is more useful — it reflects market consensus and the real change in bullish or bearish forces.
