$BTC

Summarize 8 iron rules. Still in use now, effective every day:

**The first point, BTC is the baton of the entire market.** ETH occasionally shows strength and can have some independent trends, but the other 99% of altcoins? They are basically BTC's followers, and it is fundamentally impossible for them to be independent.

**Article 2, BTC and USDT are like a seesaw.** When you see the price of U rising, BTC is likely to fall; conversely, when BTC is pulling up, it's just the right time to exchange for U. This pattern has proven to be reliable.

**Article 3: The easiest time to experience price spikes is between 12 AM and 1 AM.** So I always make sure to place my orders before going to bed, setting up buy low and sell high in advance. Many times I've woken up after a good night's sleep to find that my orders were automatically executed, and the feeling of making money while lying down is just too great.

**Article 4, check the direction from 6 to 8 AM.** The logic is simple: if it has been falling from midnight to 6 AM, but continues to fall during this time, there is a high probability that it will rise during the day, and you can enter the market or add to your position; if it has been rising from midnight to the morning and continues to rise during this time, it is basically going to correct during the day, so it is time to exit.

**Article 5, pay close attention at 5 PM.** Due to the time difference, Americans are just waking up at this time, and the market often experiences significant fluctuations at this point. Sudden surges and drops can occur during this time.

**Article 6, "Black Friday" is not superstition.** Historically, there have indeed been several instances of market crashes on Fridays, but it is not always accurate. It can be used as a supplementary signal, but should not be the primary basis for judgment.

**Article 7: Don't panic when a liquid coin drops.** As long as the project itself hasn't turned into trash, there's really no need to be afraid of a drop. I've experienced it countless times; it can recover in as short as three to four days, or it might take a month. If you have extra money, you can average down your cost in batches; if not, just be patient and wait. Usually, it recovers very quickly.

**Article 8: Less fuss with spot trading makes more money.** For the same coin, frequent buying and selling is not as good as just holding it. I bought Dogecoin at 0.09 and have held it without selling; now it has increased more than 20 times. Many newcomers are not unable to choose coins, but they cannot hold on.

Market rules have always been there; the key is whether you can stick to your principles and not let emotions lead you by the nose.
