My name is Jie Ge, I am 39 years old, and I have been rooted in Shanghai for many years. Over the years in the crypto circle, I started with 160,000 yuan and eventually grew it to a scale of 20 million, owning three properties.

Many people are curious about the secret. To be honest, there’s nothing magical about it. It’s not based on insider information or luck-driven dark horses. It’s simply adhering to a seemingly "dumb" but highly practical trading methodology over these eight years.

Today, I want to share the six core rules of this method. Understanding any one of them can help you avoid at least 80,000 yuan in detours. If you can truly follow three of them, you’ll likely outperform 90% of retail investors in the market.

**Rapid Rise with Slow Decline, No Need to Panic**

Seeing a coin suddenly surge and then enter a decline? Most of the time, this is the market makers shaking out impatient chips. The real warning signs are: a large volume spike followed by a cliff-like crash. This combination is the market maker’s usual trick to lure in and then dump, and it’s the most powerful.

**Slow Rebound After a Drop, Don’t Rush to Buy the Bottom**

Encountering a sudden plunge followed by a gradual recovery? It’s easy to fall into a trap. Don’t be fooled by thoughts like "It’s already bottomed out." Market makers won’t soften just because you’re a retail investor. A slow rise is often a scam to attract new buyers.

**Volume Changes at High Levels Indicate Risk**

When prices fluctuate repeatedly at high levels with active trading volume, there might still be a final push higher. But if trading volume suddenly dries up and the market becomes eerily quiet, that’s the calm before the storm—the risk index is skyrocketing.

**Volume at the Bottom Can Be Fake; Continuity Is Key**

One day, a huge volume spike appears, and the price rises—looks like the start of a rally? Most likely a trap. The real bottom signal is a period of decreasing volume consolidation, followed by gentle but sustained volume increases. That’s a stable upward trend.

**Volume as a Microscope for Market Psychology**

Trading crypto is fundamentally about manipulating emotions. Candlestick charts can be manipulated, trends can be confusing, but volume always reflects true sentiment. It’s like a mirror that reveals all disguises.

**Three Keys to Mindset: No Obsession, No Greed, No Fear**

No Obsession—Able to hold cash and wait patiently for real opportunities, avoiding reckless trading in desperation.

No Greed—Getting itchy to chase after rising prices often leads to being harvested. Controlling desire means those who are patient and disciplined end up with the gains, not those chasing highs.

No Fear—When the entire market is panicking and prices are halved, maintaining rational analysis and quietly positioning at lows is crucial. This mental strength isn’t innate; it’s forged through countless fluctuations.

**Finally, I Want to Say**

The crypto world is never short of opportunities; stories of overnight riches happen every day. What’s truly scarce is the discipline to control your hands and the insight to understand market trends. From initial confusion to now relative stability, I’ve had people light my way. I hope these experiences can inspire more people, helping everyone avoid unnecessary detours and earn more consistent profits in this market.
