People in the crypto world come in all kinds—short-term speculators, trend followers, and gamblers. But there is a group of people who live particularly steadily—they are not swayed by market noise and hold systematic trading logic.

A friend once told me about a 35-year-old investor who has been active in the crypto market for nine years, starting with a capital of 100,000 yuan and eventually accumulating over 38 million. Her approach seems "clumsy," but in fact, it contains deep meaning: she never touches derivatives, doesn’t chase hot news, and doesn’t gamble on small coins. The result is four or five properties and a stable monthly rental income, having long seen through the ups and downs of the crypto market.

She summarized six ironclad trading rules worth pondering:

**Rapid rise and slow fall is accumulation; don’t run during a sharp surge and correction.** If the price quickly surges and then adjusts slowly, it usually means the main force is quietly building positions. Frequent stop-losses will only get you swept out. But beware—if the price drops rapidly with little rebound, it often indicates large funds are fleeing, and bottom-fishing at this time is the most dangerous.

**Volume increase does not equal a top; shrinking volume is the real risk.** Sometimes high volume at a high level signals the start of a new trend, but shrinking volume during an upward process should raise alarm—when no one is willing to take over, the rally is often exhausted.

**The bottom needs repeated confirmation; a single candlestick doesn’t count.** A rebound after a sharp decline can easily mislead people. The true bottom is only confirmed when sustained capital inflow is observed. Relying on just one volume bar to judge is too risky.

**Candlesticks are a mirror of human nature; trading volume is the market’s truth.** Behind price fluctuations are the greed and fear of millions of traders, and volume always most honestly reflects all of this.

**The highest level of trading is "doing nothing."** Don’t envy others’ rapid gains, don’t be controlled by panic, and don’t overtrust your judgment. The patience to hold a flat position is what ultimately allows you to welcome the main upward wave.

**Rules are better than intuition.** The market is unpredictable and ever-changing. Only by establishing a reliable trading system can you navigate bull and bear markets. Let data speak, let logic guide decisions, and you will find that making money is never about luck, but about a deep understanding of the market.
