If you want to survive relatively steadily in the crypto world, there are some rules you can't avoid. What I've summarized from years of ups and downs is more of common sense than secrets.

First, let's talk about opportunities in strong coins. A continuous decline of more than 9 days at high levels is often a signal, and this is when you can observe on dips. Conversely, any coin that rises more than 7% can be considered for continued observation the next day, but don't rush to chase. If it has risen for two consecutive days, consider reducing your position; this is the basic way to protect profits.

Regarding platform coins and mainstream coins, you should only enter after a major cycle has ended. If some coins fluctuate calmly for three days in a row, observe for another three days; if there are no new changes, consider switching positions. Another detail: if you can't recover the previous day's cost price the next day, you should decisively exit and not hold onto illusions.

There is a pattern on the gainers list—"Three must have, five must have, seven must have." Coins that have risen for two consecutive days can be bought on dips, and the fifth day is usually a good selling point. This isn't an iron law, but the probability makes it worth paying attention to.

Volume and price indicators are considered the soul of the crypto world; trading volume combined with price movement is meaningful. Watch for volume breakthroughs at low levels, and if high-level volume shows stagnation in gains, you should exit decisively. Choosing coins in an uptrend yields the highest success rate and is the most effortless. A 3-day moving average turning upward is a short-term bullish signal; a 30-day moving average turning upward indicates medium-term initiation; an 80-day moving average turning upward signals a main upward wave; and a 120-day moving average turning upward represents a long-term upward trend.

Small funds also have opportunities, as long as you master the correct methods, maintain a rational mindset, strictly follow strategies, and wait for opportunities. But some bottom lines must be maintained: do not trade full-time, and definitely do not borrow to trade. These two choices can lead to unbearable pain. There will always be another round of opportunities in the crypto world, but no second chances to turn back.

Prices rose for two days then reduced positions, it sounds easy, but who can really let go when the market is in action? --- The worst is those who haven't even recovered their cost price and still stubbornly hold on. I know too many people like that. --- I remember the 120-day moving average turning point, but honestly, most people can't wait for that signal. --- Don't go full-time or borrow money, it sounds easy to say, but who can resist the temptation in the crypto world? --- The theory of 'five must have seven' sounds good, but the market isn't that predictable. --- Observe on dips and exit decisively, but it's easier said than done, everyone. --- Volume and price indicators are indeed core, but unfortunately I always get the direction wrong. --- Three days of calm followed by three more days of observation, most people really lack that patience. --- When there's high volume and stagnation at a high level, run immediately. I need to remind myself of this repeatedly. --- Small funds do have opportunities, but the key is execution and mindset.

It's okay to say, but execution is really the hard part. Most people die at the moment of greed. --- Selling off for two consecutive days? I feel like this set of numerology has even more elements of mysticism... --- Not being a full-time crypto trader really hits home. I have too many friends around me who got ruined because of this. --- The "three must have five" set sounds pretty mysterious. I'll review historical data later based on this standard. --- I agree that volume and price indicators are the soul; other digital cycle indicators feel a bit overfitted. --- Lending and trading crypto directly leads to blood loss. This isn't common sense; it's a lesson. --- Nine-day decline signal... feels like anything can be made to fit a pattern, that's just how the crypto world is. --- Does anyone really believe in the fifth-day sell point? I don't. --- If you can't recover your cost price, just exit. Sounds simple, but doing it step by step is like kneeling every time.

Ha, it's that same old story, heard it too many times. The key is to stick to the bottom line, neither full-time trading nor borrowing, these two pitfalls will wipe you out immediately. --- 9-day decline signal? Easy to say, but when it really happens, your mentality will collapse. --- The point about matching volume and price is correct, but how many can actually do it? I often get caught. --- The pattern of 3-5-7 sounds impressive, but in practice, it's just betting on probabilities. Sometimes you win and think you're a master. --- Having a small fund might be an opportunity, but the premise is that you can endure those losing days. Most people can't last two weeks. --- Reducing positions to preserve profits is correct; it's just that every time you want to wait a bit longer, and then it's gone. --- Borrowing to trade crypto is really a death wish. I've seen too many people chased for debt, and there's no turning back. --- Switching positions after three days of calm fluctuations? How often does that happen? The transaction fees are just too much.

That's right, but very few people can actually do it. --- Reducing positions for two consecutive days? I feel like I always cut at the starting point... --- I've seen the 9-day decline signal a few times, but it's just that I can't get over the mentality hurdle. --- The phrase "no more chances to turn back" hits hard; too many people are in debt to get in. --- 3-day moving average, 30-day, 80-day, 120-day—I've memorized all these data points very well, but losing money happens just as fast. --- If you can't recover your costs the next day, you sell? Haha, I usually just hold until the account is emptied. --- The "3-5-7" pattern on the gainers list sounds scientific, but in actual operation, I always feel something's missing. --- Not full-time, no borrowing, sounds easy, but most people in the crypto space just want to sit back and win passively. --- I've caught a few low-volume breakouts, but the problem is how to judge what truly is a breakout.
