#数字资产生态回暖 The most common mistake in trading often stems from a single thought.



When you are caught in a position, never expect a quick turnaround. That seemingly possible rebound is actually a trap set by the market—jumping in will only make things worse. Protecting your principal should always be the top priority; don’t let short-term fluctuations hijack your rationality.

The real danger never comes during sharp rises or falls, but rather when the market is most quiet and lurking. Consolidation may seem dull, but in fact, it could be brewing a big move. At this time, you need to pay close attention because often a breakout signals a turning point.

Be especially cautious when the market is surging wildly. The more intense the candlestick attack, the fiercer the pullback—this is the market’s iron law. Those who understand chart patterns can avoid half of the declines; those who don’t will be caught off guard and hammered.

Making buy or sell decisions is actually very simple. When prices are falling, have the courage to buy; when prices are rising, be ruthless in taking profits. Most retail investors lose money chasing rallies and selling on dips, repeatedly making the same mistakes and being thoroughly harvested by institutions. Changing this habit is the key to survival.

The most detrimental thing during sideways trading is frequent trading. When there’s no clear direction, any action just consumes fees and energy. Not selling after a rally or buying during a plunge is actually the best choice—just hold steady.

Trend-following is always the highest-probability strategy. Holding support lines during an uptrend keeps you alive; holding resistance levels during a downtrend keeps you safe. Orders that go against the trend are nine times out of ten just giving away money.

In the crypto world, the term “full position” should be avoided. Going all-in once can wipe out months of gains. The market changes faster than you can imagine; those who learn to hold some inventory will survive longer here.

Technical analysis isn’t hard to learn; the real challenge is your mindset. Greed shrinks your account, fear causes you to sell prematurely on black horses. A stable mindset is the most valuable asset in crypto and the true underlying logic for survival.

In the end, trading cryptocurrencies is like cultivation—stability allows you to go further. It’s not about guessing or luck; once you stabilize, you’ve already outperformed most people.

Well said, but I just can't execute it. Every time I swear to stay sideways, but as soon as it dips, I can't help but buy the dip; when it rises, I chase and cut losses. How much trading fee have I sent to the exchange...

It's the same old story... When you're trapped, who doesn't want to turn red? The key is how to turn around. Easy to say. When the market is sideways, hold steady; when it rises, I sold too early; when it falls, I don't have the guts to buy in. Living like this is pretty exhausting. I totally understand what it's like to blow up a full position in one go. Staying calm? My mindset has already been shattered by the market. Is it really about cultivation? Then what am I cultivating here? But on the other hand, will this market really be digging a trap this time? I'm still waiting.

Based on my analysis, this article is really spot on... but the key question is, how many people can actually do it? Looking at the market data, most of the brothers who are trapped are dreaming of that "turning red in one shot," but the more they hold, the deeper they get. Interestingly, the biggest profit-makers actually do nothing and just wait for the sideways breakout point. Over the past few days, I tracked several wallet addresses; they quietly reduced their positions at high levels... to be continued I really can't advise people to go all-in. Every time I see someone going all in, I want to laugh, and then the next second, I end up crying. Mindset is more valuable than any indicator, but unfortunately, most people can't learn it. In the end, it's just two words—greed. The rest are all excuses.

Honestly, those who want to turn red after being trapped are all big fools. I've seen plenty of them. --- The most tormenting time is during sideways movement; the itch is unbearable, and I can't hold back. --- Every time it rises to a satisfying level, it's time to run. I've learned this lesson the hard way. --- Where are all the people with full positions now? --- The hardest part is definitely mindset; technical skills are actually minor. --- Chasing gains and selling losses is just my signature style; I can't change it. --- Following the trend is correct; going against it is just throwing money away. --- Holding some positions indeed allows for a longer survival; there's nothing wrong with that.

It sounds good, but when it comes to actually executing, it's still easy to get impulsive... Only after being caught in a few trades do I realize these principles.

It's the same old story, sounds good but how many can actually do it? I just want to ask, when you're trapped, does anyone really stay calm?

It's the same story again, nothing wrong with it, but how many people can really do it... I'm the kind of person who makes reckless moves during sideways trading, and I always lose on fees every time.

It's the same old story... The ones who are truly making money have long since shut up, haha --- Waiting in a sideways market is the hardest, fingers are itching, but that's when you're most likely to get cut --- One full position is enough, that feeling is really... Don't ask me how I know --- The mindset part is correct, but most people probably can't listen, me included --- Chasing gains and selling at losses is really a common disease in the crypto world; if you can't change this habit, you won't last long --- Wait, holding the support line can keep you alive? Seems not that simple --- The worst feeling is when you're trapped, and your brain still hopes to turn it around... Reality is just that harsh
