After years of struggling in the Crypto Assets market, I gradually realized a truth: the participants who can stand firm in the long term are often not the most technically skilled, but those who make the fewest mistakes. Many people's failures are not due to missing the bull run, but rather stumbling over the most basic mistakes.



After long observation, I have summarized the three most common fatal habits:

1. Chasing highs and selling lows: blindly chasing prices when the market rises and panic selling when it falls ultimately leads to the tragedy of buying high and selling low. Truly successful investors often quietly lay out their positions when the market is quiet and calmly exit when the heat is high.

2. Over-leveraging: Even if the judgment is correct, if the position is too heavy, a small pullback can trigger a stop-loss and force an exit. This is not a judgment error, but rather poor risk management.

3. Emotional Full Position: Investing all in when seeing an opportunity can lead to an inability to adjust strategies later. Even if the direction is correct, one may miss better opportunities due to insufficient funds.

Based on these lessons, I have summarized a few survival rules:

- Be patient: Do not blindly chase the rise when the price is consolidating at a high level, and do not rush to buy the dip when the price is oscillating at a low level.
- Learn to watch and wait: When the market direction is unclear, maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
- Reverse thinking: Buy in batches after a big drop, and moderately reduce positions after a big rise.
- Grasp the rhythm: avoid catching flying knives during a sustained decline, but you can tentatively buy during a sharp drop.
- Build positions in batches: Refuse to fully invest at once, but gradually build positions in 3-5 installments.
- Emotion cooling: Give the market time to digest after severe fluctuations, avoiding decision-making during extreme emotions.

The core principle is: patience is the key to long-term victory. The market is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can wait, endure, and perceive the essence clearly.

For newcomers who have just entered this market, my advice is:
- First, use simulated trading to validate your strategy
- Focus most of your energy on avoiding fatal mistakes
- Remember: In this market, survival is more important than making quick profits.

The seemingly conservative methods (such as diversifying positions, patiently waiting, and contrarian trading) are actually the true shortcuts to long-term survival. High returns inevitably come with high risks, and the principal can vanish in an instant. Staying clear-headed and managing risks well is essential to moving steadily in this market full of opportunities and challenges.

That's right, a Bear Market should be played like this.
