#数字资产市场观察 I want to share a real experience with you all: how I turned 5000 yuan into my first bucket of gold in the crypto market.

No exaggeration, no criticism. After stumbling and experiencing liquidation on this path, I have ultimately summarized these few iron rules. Looking back now, if I had understood these earlier, how many less detours I would have taken.

First, let's talk about the six core trading principles:

**Article 1: Nine consecutive days of plummeting, the tenth day is an opportunity**
After falling for 9 consecutive days, the market sentiment has basically reached freezing point. At this time, many people are too scared to act, but often the 10th day is the turning point. Of course, it's not about going all in; it's about trying with a small position and setting a stop loss.

**Article 2: After two consecutive days of rise, it's time to go when you should.**
The money in the crypto market is money that should be taken off the table. If you've profited over two days, are you still greedy? In most cases, a correction starts on the third day. Take your profits and don’t be the bag holder.

**Article 3: Sideways consolidation for a week, an increase in volume is the signal**
The price has been swaying in a range for 6 days without any movement? Don't think there is no market activity. On the 7th day, a sudden surge in volume is likely an indication that the main players have accumulated their positions and are ready to make a move.

**Article 4: If not making a profit the next day, immediately stop loss and exit**
Did you not even earn back the capital on the second day after buying? This indicates that the directional judgment was wrong. Continuing to hold onto it is just wasting opportunity cost; decisively admitting the mistake is better than stubbornly holding on.

**Article 5: The 357 Rule in the Rise List**
This is something many people don't know: the coin that ranks third in the daily gainers is likely to break into the top five; the fifth one can squeeze into the top seven. But remember, the most losing operation is to "wait for a return" — if it's time to go, just go.

**Article 6: Be cautious of a sell-off on the afternoon of the fifth day after four consecutive bullish candles**
This is the favorite harvesting time for quantitative robots. After a 4-day rise, there is often a wave of sell-off in the afternoon of the 5th day. Run early to get the profit; being greedy and waiting can easily lead to getting stuck.

In addition to these 6 points, there are three underlying logics:
- **Dollar-cost averaging**: Use time cost to combat volatility risk
- **Hold to earn**: Don't let short-term fluctuations affect your mindset.
- **Only use spare funds for trading**: With a stable mindset, decisions won't be distorted.

These are all conclusions I have drawn from my own experiences. There are indeed many opportunities in the crypto market, but the premise is that you need to know how to do it and when to do it.

The market is always there; the key is whether you are prepared.
