#2026年比特币行情展望 Entering the crypto market, beginners are most afraid of one word: impatience.
Greedy people can't get hot tofu, and are more likely to get burned. Instead of pondering how to get rich overnight, it's better to master these 6 fundamental principles. Each one is a lesson learned with real money.
**Position first, operation later**
This is the first line of defense. When there are unrealized gains, consider adding more. If you're caught in a position, don't add— that's not averaging down, that's emotional trading. Ask yourself, if you didn't hold any coins right now, would you still dare to buy at this price? Hesitating more than three seconds makes the answer very clear. At this point, you should reduce your position or even exit completely.
**The rhythm is hidden in the intraday chart**
If there's a sudden plunge during trading, don't rush to sell. Intraday fluctuations are mostly the main players shaking out chips. Be especially cautious of a mysterious surge before the close—quickly take some profits, as there's a high chance of a retracement the next day. Another easily overlooked signal: huge volume but stagnant price. This isn't a golden pit; it's a signal to step back.
**Use the simplest moving average method**
Don't bother with complicated indicators. For short-term, watch the 5-day moving average—if it stays above, hold; if it breaks below, exit. For swing trading, look at the 20-day moving average—if the trend is clear, trading becomes easier. Don't always try to fight the trend; that's a battle of attrition, and you'll end up losing money.
**Stop-loss should be set at the moment of entry**
Accept losses when they happen, don't wait. Dragging losses out turns them into medium-term positions, and prolonging them can lead to months of being trapped. Many big losses happen this way—reluctant to cut a small loss. Conversely, when making profits, set your take-profit levels to move upward with the price. After a rally, hold some, and if the pullback exceeds expectations, exit.
**Watch who can hold during a big drop**
$BTC If there's a sudden crash, and your holdings can withstand without moving, it indicates strong institutional support at the bottom. If it rebounds the next day, it's likely clearing retail investors. Such coins are actually safer than those chasing highs.
**Stay away from chasing highs and panic selling**
Chasing the rally is the ultimate trap at a stage high. The best buying points are never at emotional peaks but during pullbacks. Don't rush to sell during a decline; give it time as long as key supports hold. When it truly breaks, it's not too late to exit—better to confirm than to guess the bottom.
The market opens every day with plenty of opportunities; there's no need to compete for them. Repeatedly follow these 6 rules to survive first and avoid elimination. The rest is up to time to ferment. Ultimately, this game isn't about who is smarter, but who can persist.
