#美联储重启降息步伐 After spending years in the crypto market, I’ve realized that survival here is never about luck.
It’s about rules.
Let me share a few survival tips I’ve learned the hard way—can’t promise you’ll get rich, but at least you’ll avoid some pitfalls.
**Rule 1: Don’t just stare at a single candlestick.** The daily chart shows the big picture, the 30-minute chart helps you find rhythm, and the overall market environment decides if you should even play. Ignore all three? You’re basically guessing. If the market suddenly pumps the next day, you’ll still be asking, “Why did it go up?”
**Rule 2: Don’t fight the trend.** If you’re moving against the trend, all your effort is just swimming upstream. When market order breaks down, so does the trend. Admitting defeat isn’t embarrassing—losing money is.
**Rule 3: For short-term trades, stick to hot coins.** Liquidity hides in the hype; obscure coins are just traps. If you’re trading short-term and not chasing trends, you’re basically digging your own grave.
**Rule 4: Planning always beats impulsiveness.** If you open positions just because you’re itchy or place orders on a whim, you’ll probably get wiped out halfway. The market rewards execution, not your fleeting bursts of enthusiasm.
**Rule 5: Don’t blindly trust anyone’s judgment.** Other people’s opinions are just references—your own thinking is your real weapon. That includes everything I’m saying here; you need to think for yourself.
**Rule 6: Look at the trend first, then pick your coins.** If the overall direction is right, you can profit no matter what you pick; if the trend is wrong, not even the best coin can save you.
**Rule 7: Don’t try to catch the bottom.** Everyone who loves catching bottoms ends up at the bottom. Price always moves where there’s least resistance—following the trend is a thousand times smarter than going against it.
**Rule 8: After a big win or loss, stop trading.** Whether you’ve won big or lost big, you have to stop and cool off, review your trades. This rule has saved me countless times.
These aren’t flashy words, but they can really keep you alive. The crypto market isn’t about who’s the smartest, it’s about who can survive the longest. Most people get wrecked by losing control of their emotions—I’ve made it this far by sticking to rules.
Treat these as your daily pre-market checklist. Over time, you’ll find the market suddenly seems a lot more “obedient.”

After all this time, that's all there is? I have to disagree with the bottom-fishing point—are historical bottoms just handed to you for free? The key is whether you can recognize them or not.

That's right, rules are the lifeline. My biggest lesson is the seventh one—I tried to catch too many bottoms and ended up buying at the floor price every time. Now I've gotten smarter: going with the trend is the way to go.

The one about buying the dip was really harsh, I’m exactly that “bottom buyer”...
---
Rules are easy to talk about, hard to follow. My biggest problem is still itchy hands.
---
Wait, the Fed cut rates? Can these obscure coins of mine survive now...
---
The fourth point hit home, every time I impulsively open a position I regret it so much.
---
How many people read this kind of article but still can’t stop chasing hot trends?
---
The one about stopping after big wins or losses—I need to stick that on my wall and read it every day.
---
Sounds nice, but how many can really do it? I know I never have.
---
If you’re headed in the right direction, even meme coins can make money—the reverse is also true...
---
Don’t trust others, don’t trust yourself either—that’s the real essence of the crypto market.

ngl the whole "rules over luck" thing hits different when you're brewing alpha in the dark pools... these eight commandments are basically the grimoire most degens never decode until their portfolio transmutation backfires spectacularly

lol the fed cuts are basically just liquidity injections with extra steps... anyway this whole "rules over luck" thing is basically just capital allocation optimization with emotional discipline slapped on top. the multi-timeframe analysis bit though? that's actually pointing at something real about order flow dynamics. basis points matter fr

Bro, I've already figured out this theory a long time ago. To put it simply, it's just don't act recklessly and go with the trend. The problem is that most people know the principle but still can't resist taking action—I've made plenty of mistakes myself. As for the Fed rate cuts, we need to watch how the subsequent policies develop. Don't get blinded by temporary good news.

That's right, the key is still having discipline. I used to get itchy hands and ended up losing everything on obscure coins.
Now that I'm following this approach, I've definitely avoided a lot of unnecessary losses.
But I still haven't completely kicked the habit of buying the dip—sometimes I just can't help myself...
Figuring things out for yourself is most important; just take others' advice as a reference.
Rules > luck, that's spot on.

To be honest, it's the eighth point that's truly life-saving. Last time, after making a 30% profit, I didn't stop, and as a result, one pullback wiped out my gains. This fits my expectations of myself very well.

Rules are easy to talk about, but how many people can actually stick to them when it comes to execution? I think most people end up losing their composure.
---
I have something to say about buying the dip. I have a friend who got burned trying to catch the falling knife at the bottom, and he's still stuck in losses.
---
As soon as the Fed cuts rates, the crypto space starts getting restless. That's when things can really get chaotic. Stay calm.
---
That point about short-term trending coins really hit home. A couple of days ago it was all junk coins, and those who chased them... well, you can imagine how they're doing now.
---
The most painful is the fifth point—so many people follow signals and copy trades all day, only to become someone else's exit liquidity.
---
Making a plan is easy to say but hard to do; the moment you get itchy fingers, you forget it all.
---
If you get the direction right, you really can make money effortlessly. If you get it wrong, no matter how hard you try, it's all for nothing—I know this all too well.
