#Strategy加仓BTC An experienced trader with 8 years in the crypto space, today I want to share some insights that may seem counterintuitive but have been repeatedly validated. I am a post-80s Fujian native, now rooted in Beijing.



From an initial capital of 10,000 yuan to now an eight-figure asset, there are no secrets or shortcuts in this journey, let alone luck. The only thing that matters is doing the right thing: living longer than others with the simplest methods.

People often ask: Why can some stay in the market continuously, while others disappear after just one cycle?

The truth is—they understand the rhythm of the market and control their greed.

Here are six principles I have refined over more than 2920 days. They are not complicated, but truly valuable:

**First: Rapid rise followed by slow correction is usually not the top**
When the market suddenly surges and then gradually dips, it’s often a shakeout, a rotation of funds within the market.

**Second: Rapid decline followed by a slow climb is usually not an opportunity**
After a sharp drop, the price creeps up like climbing stairs, giving the illusion of a "re-entry" point. But most of the time, it’s near the end of distribution. Don’t get caught up in the mindset of "it’s fallen so much."

**Third: High volume at high prices is not to be feared; lack of volume is a warning**
When the price reaches a high and trading volume still supports it, the game is ongoing; the real danger is when the price stays high but trading suddenly dries up. That silence often signals an impending big drop.

**Fourth: A single high-volume candle at the bottom does not indicate a reversal**
The true bottom is formed through accumulation. Several days or even weeks of steady volume suggest serious institutional entry. A single large bullish candle is just a smokescreen.

**Fifth: Price is just a surface; volume reveals true intent**
Many focus on candlesticks, but that’s superficial. The real indicator is volume—it reflects market consensus and the actual battle between bulls and bears.

**Sixth: Being willing to hold no position is the mark of a true master**
Holding no position isn’t weakness; it’s a choice of strategy. Not chasing highs is rational; not panicking shows confidence. When you can face market fluctuations with a calm mind, trading truly begins to work for you.

Over the years, focusing on spot and futures analysis of Bitcoin and Ethereum, finding rhythm amid market ups and downs, I’ve realized—those who survive the longest tend to win the most steadily.

That's right, staying out of the market is the real skill. I also learned the hard way after losing money by chasing highs.

The part about going completely flat is really spot on; so many people just get wiped out by chasing the high.

Going completely flat really requires discipline. Every time, I can't hold on and end up chasing highs and getting caught.

I really haven't fully understood the move of going all-in cash; I always feel like I missed out, what should I do... But seeing your 8 years of experience, surviving is indeed winning.
