In the winter of 2016, my cousin was in a village in the city of Shenzhen.

Moldy floorboards, the bank balance of 168.23 yuan on the mobile screen, glaring.

He hesitated for three days even over a 10 yuan rice bowl.

He endured this kind of life for 18 months.

Eight years later, he stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Shenzhen Bay One, with 26 million in his account.

This is neither a fairy tale nor luck.

These are the four life-saving iron rules summarized after having my teeth broken by the market.

First rule: See through the dealer's sleight of hand. In 2017, I chased after a 300% surge in a shanzhai coin, ultimately going bankrupt.

Only later did I understand that 'a sudden rise of 30%+ followed by three days of sideways movement and a 15% drop with volume' is a signal for the operators to offload.

Last year, when $AVAX broke $150, this trend appeared, and I decisively shorted, making $870,000 in three weeks.

Second Law: Silence at high levels is scarier than a crash.

In 2019, I heavily invested in mainstream coins that were sideways for two months with plummeting trading volume, and as a result, it dropped to $12.

Now I know, when the turnover rate is below 2% and deviates from MA20 by more than 20%, it's a signal for capital withdrawal, and the system will automatically place a short order.

Third Law: True bottom must first have volume signal.

In 2020, on '3.12', I tried to bottom fish $LINK but got trapped. It wasn't until I studied 300 bottom case studies that I understood: 'low volume consolidation + three days of gentle increasing volume with bullish candlesticks' is the true bottom.

Last year, when Bitcoin reached $25,000 and showed this signal, I went all in, and six months later, I sold at $42,000, covering my down payment in Shenzhen.

Fourth Law: Volume is the heart, position is the breath. I often remember 'candlestick patterns are skin, trading volume is the meridian' and 'half-position trading is never right.'

My belief is:

· 'Candlesticks are the stories the market tells you, and trading volume is its heartbeat when it lies.'

· 'Always hold half, and you'll always qualify to sit at the table.'

Last year, when $PEPE surged crazily, while everyone was bloodthirsty, I only followed it after it broke the range and the volume increased fivefold. Once the trend line was broken, I immediately took profits.

In the end, I 'only made' 12 times, but perfectly avoided the subsequent ankle chop.

This market never believes in tears, only rewarding those who are tough on themselves and even tougher on the rules.

These four iron laws will not give you a fairy tale of overnight wealth,

but they can provide you with a shotgun and a map to survive in this bloody jungle.

The bull market will eventually come, but only those who survive to the end are qualified to reap the rewards.

Do you dare to accept this survival rule earned through eight years of blood and tears? #加密市场回调 #美联储重启降息步伐
