In the crypto world over the past few years, I have condensed all the pitfalls I've encountered and the money I've made into 7 core insights.

Understand one rule, and you can save hundreds of thousands; grasp three rules, and you can basically shake off 90% of retail investors —

**1️⃣ Price is just the surface, trading volume is the truth**

Most people only see the rise and fall of prices, not realizing that volume is the heartbeat of the market. If you can't understand the fluctuations in trading volume, to be honest, you're still on the outside.

**2️⃣ After a sharp rise, slowly decline, don't panic too quickly**

This is often the chips being shuffled. What is truly frightening is the sudden drop of a large bearish candle after a surge in volume — that is not panic, that is the institution changing hands and distributing.

**3️⃣ Be cautious of flash crash rebounds**

This thing doesn't necessarily mean a new trend is coming; it might just be the last wave of distribution. The market loves to harvest those who think "it can't drop any further."

**4️⃣ Volume increase is not scary, decrease in volume is dangerous**

During the price increase, if the trading volume keeps up, it indicates there is still consensus among buyers; if the price continues to rise but the trading volume becomes thinner, this is a sign of a potential trend reversal.

**5️⃣ Bottom volume must look for follow-through**

A day's explosive trading may just be a test; a real reversal is one that can hold up and continue to move after a surge in volume. There's no need to rush.

**6️⃣ The K-line looks at technology, but essentially it examines human emotions**

Trading volume represents consensus, while price represents emotion. Understanding the rhythm of trading volume often aligns you with the pulse of the market.

**7️⃣ The hardest lesson: Experts understand to hold back**

Do not be greedy, do not be afraid, do not be impatient. Rest when you need to, act when you should.

Those who can truly go far in trading are not the ones who react the fastest, but rather those who can remain calm and endure.
