In the past few years in the community, I have noticed a phenomenon - there is no shortage of star projects, but what is most lacking is those that can survive long enough. The real competitiveness is being able to survive.

Two years ago, I brought a friend into the market with an initial capital of 100,000 yuan. He is not a rich second generation, and we don't have any information advantages; we just relied on observing the candlestick charts, researching technical aspects, and repeatedly trying and adjusting our mindset. Over the past two years, after experiencing several cycles of change, he has gradually developed the ability to make independent judgments from being a novice who couldn't even follow trades well. His account has steadily grown to 1.5 million.

There are no black swans or insider information in this process. It's all about falling down, summarizing, and gritting your teeth to persist. We have all learned the most simple yet heart-wrenching point — there is no such thing as getting rich overnight in the crypto world. The true skill lies in being able to withstand volatility and maintain a steady mindset.

I have整理成了几条法则. the experience gained with real money over the past two years.

**A quick rise followed by a gradual decline is often about "eating retail investors"**

The most common pitfall for beginners is this. When the market rises, newcomers' eyes light up; then the market begins to repeatedly grind down with a bearish trend, and everyone starts to get restless. In a panic, they sell at a loss. In fact, during this time, the institutions are often grinding down the patience and chips of retail investors. This is not unloading, it's accumulation.

What does a truly dangerous signal look like? It's that kind of "violent rise + headless drop" combo. The market shoots up in a short period, creating a sense of a raging bull market, sucking in all those who chase the highs, and then suddenly there's no support— it just crashes down. Once this kind of trend appears, that's when you should run. Many times, the fattest profits are actually hidden in the fluctuations that ordinary people dare not hold on to.

**The combination of a sharp drop and a slow rise is often a sell signal**

The same logic applies in reverse. If there is a rapid decline followed by several large bullish candles starting to rise slowly, this rhythm usually indicates that the main force is offloading. Retail investors see the rebound and mistakenly think it will rise, only to find that all they have bought are the shares being handed off. At this time, the worst thing to do when bottom-fishing is to start chasing from halfway up the mountain.

**The key is to understand the rhythm of the market**

In simple terms, it is necessary to distinguish between rapid movements in the market (sharp rises/sharp falls) and slow movements (gradual rises/gradual falls). The speed itself is telling. Rapid and significant fluctuations usually indicate that large funds are in action, while slow and unidirectional fluctuations often reveal the true supply and demand relationship.

Of course, having these rules is not enough. What is more important is to train your mindset. Watching your account fluctuate, whether it is a sharp rise or a sharp fall, being able to maintain a clear judgment - this is the real reason for turning 100,000 into 1,500,000. Technical aspects can be learned, but the mindset must be honed through real market experiences.
