#美联储重启降息步伐 In this space, survival is more important than anything else. Don’t wait until the bull market arrives only to find your pockets empty—that’s the real tragedy.

I’m 35 now, got into this game 11 years ago. After the cycle from 2021 to 2023, my account is approaching 9 figures. Honestly, compared to my peers doing traditional business or e-commerce, my life is definitely a lot easier.

After years of ups and downs, I’ve summed up a few rules that I still stick to:

**About Market Rhythm**
The hour just after midnight is when the craziest moves often happen. Now, before I go to bed, I always set limit orders in advance—set my buy-low, sell-high prices. When I wake up in the morning, I often find they've already been executed automatically.

**The Secret of the Morning Session**
From 6 to 8 a.m., you can pretty much tell how the day will go. The logic is simple: if it’s been sliding down all night and is still dropping in the morning, chances are it’s about to bounce back. That’s a good time to enter or add to your position. On the flip side, if it’s been pumping all night and is still surging in the early morning, it’ll probably pull back that day—time to take profits.

**The Americans’ Schedule**
Keep a close eye on 5 p.m. Because of the time difference, that’s when the U.S. traders become active. Sometimes there’s a sudden pump or dump right at that time.

**BTC Is the Boss**
BTC is the market’s weathervane. ETH can occasionally have its own momentum, but 99% of other coins can’t escape BTC’s gravity.

Also, BTC and USDT usually move in opposite directions. When USDT is rising, BTC is probably dropping; when BTC is pumping, switching to USDT can be a good move.

**About "Black Friday"**
This isn’t a 100% rule, but historically, there have been a few sudden crashes on Fridays. I use it as a reference, but don’t rely on it completely.

**Don’t Panic—If You Can Hold, There’s Hope**
As long as the coin has good liquidity and enough trading volume, don’t panic if you’re stuck. I’ve seen many times where you break even in three or four days, or at most a month. If you have extra funds, average down in batches; if not, just be patient and wait.

**Trade Spot Less Frequently**
For the same coin, if you keep trading in and out, chances are you’ll earn less than if you just hold. This is true.
