For cryptocurrencies with high volatility like LUNA, after experiencing big gains or big losses, I’ve developed a habit—completely exit the market and force myself to stop trading.



This isn't about being lazy. The key is that during those moments, emotional waves are the fiercest. When your mind is heated, your fingers start flying, often resulting in a series of loss-making decisions.

Over the years, I’ve noticed a pattern: after a major fluctuation, if I force myself to step away from the market for a day or two and come back to make decisions, my accuracy improves significantly. Sometimes the difference is startling.

So what do I do during this break? Review. You need to ask yourself—was that recent profit due to a solid strategy or just luck? Where did the loss come from? Is there a problem with the trading system, or did my mindset collapse?

Many people are focused on predicting the next market move, but understanding your true skill level is more crucial. The time out of the market is a reflection period. When the emotional waves subside, you can see the real stones beneath the water.

Therefore, don’t make trading decisions when you’re overly excited or desperate. Take a breather; calm judgment is often more reliable. There are plenty of opportunities for rebounds in the crypto market. Don’t fear missing out, but rather fear jumping in when the conditions are least suitable.
