Three years ago, when I brought her into the crypto world, her account only had 10,000 USDT. She missed out on that crazy rally, but she used the simplest methods to gradually grow her account to over a million.

After 1095 days, she realized one thing: treat this as a game, don't rush, and patience is key to making money.

Today, I want to share six pieces of experience I’ve gained over the years. If you can learn one or two of them, losing only a few ten-thousand yuan is not a problem; if you can master three or four, your stability will definitely surpass most retail investors by a lot.

**Rapid rise and slow decline are often just shakeouts; don’t mistake them for a top**

When the price quickly surges and then gradually falls, this rhythm usually indicates the main players are collecting chips. What does a real top look like? Usually, it’s a sudden huge volume spike followed by a collapse, with little to no buffer.

**No strength in rebounds after a sharp decline, better to run**

When the price suddenly crashes and then weakly rebounds, it’s basically the final stage of the main players distributing. At this point, you should suppress the urge to catch the bottom.

**High levels are only dangerous without volume, not afraid of volume**

When the price reaches a high, continuous trading volume indicates there are still players in the game; the most dangerous situation is when the price consolidates at high levels while volume dries up.

**Bottoms need repeated confirmation**

A single volume spike and rebound is often a trap to lure more buyers. True bottoms require sustained and gentle capital inflows, which are more reliable.

**Volume and price speak the truth; everything else is just clouds**

Candlestick charts show the price trend, but only volume reveals what the funds are really trying to do. Understanding the combination of volume and price gets you closer to the truth.

**Most of the time, you should learn to do nothing**

The hardest part in crypto is not seizing opportunities, but being able to hold back and stay in cash when there are no clear signals. Not getting entangled in every fluctuation allows your capital to survive until a real trend appears.

The market teaches us every day. If you truly want to avoid detours, you need to learn from the market, accumulate experience little by little, and only then can you survive longer.
