#加密市场回调 Two years ago, I brought a friend into the market with a principal of 100,000 yuan.

No connections, no insider info—just grinding it out by watching the charts and managing our mindset. Now the account has 1.5 million lying in it.

What's the biggest lesson during this time? The crypto world is never a casino; the ones who survive are those who keep their emotions out of the game.

Here are some survival rules we learned the hard way with our own money, now sharing with you:

**First, about market shakeouts.**
If the market suddenly spikes and then starts to drop steadily—don’t rush to cut your losses. Most likely, it’s the big players testing your patience. If it’s really a top, you’ll see both pumping and dumping at the same time; a waterfall-like crash is the real signal that it’s over.

**Bottom-fishing is the biggest trap.**
Market crashes then suddenly a big green candle appears? Don’t rush in. Most of the time, this kind of rebound is a bull trap. You think you’ve caught the bottom, but you’re just catching a falling knife. The real bottom takes time to confirm.

**Don’t panic at high-volume tops; run when there’s no volume.**
A big spike in trading volume at the top doesn’t mean an immediate crash; there might be another leg up. The real danger is when trading suddenly dries up and volume shrinks to nothing—that’s when the money is pulling out.

**Sustained volume matters at the bottom too.**
A single big green candle means nothing. What matters is whether there’s steady, increasing volume over several days—that’s real money building positions. A one-day spike could just be a fake-out.

**Candlesticks are just appearances; volume tells the truth.**
Prices can deceive, but money flow doesn’t lie. Shrinking volume means people are leaving or waiting; increasing volume means capital is coming in. If you get this, you’ll react half a step ahead of others.

**Last rule—learn to stay out of the market.**
When the market doesn’t make sense, it’s better to miss out than to force a trade. Don’t fight the market. Make money within your own understanding, and even if you lose, know exactly why.

The market is never wrong; it’s always emotions that are wrong.
Surviving to the next cycle is ten thousand times more important than catching one huge pump.
