The US stock market is about to open, and last night's market still yielded some gains. ETH dropped from 2962 to 2932, a fluctuation of only 30 points, but in a volatile market, being able to keep up with the rhythm and take profits is quite good. The biggest advantage of night trading is the ability to quickly capture changes in momentum, rather than passively following the trend.
Speaking of trading, many people always think that their liquidation was due to wrong market direction. Actually, that's not the case—what's truly deadly is often treating emotions as a risk control tool. You'll find yourself always entering positions halfway up the mountain, not because you don't understand the market, but because you only dare to place orders when the overall sentiment is most aligned and excited. At that moment, you're no longer looking at the price structure, but are blinded by consensus; you're not seeing real opportunities, only the climax moments.
This is the cruelest part of the market. When everyone's emotions point in the same direction, the risk has actually reached a critical point. The trends of mainstream coins like BTC, BNB, and ETH are never predicted by emotions. Strategic planning requires calmness, and trading requires discipline.

Daring to boast about 30 points? In a choppy market, with this kind of movement, you'd be better off sleeping.

I've always said that emotions are the biggest killers, and only now do I realize that I've already lost a round because of them.

That's right, emotions are really the poison of trading. I've also had my setbacks.
Eating 30 points for profit is good, but that's just the appetizer.
That routine of getting in halfway up the mountain, I've seen too many people die that way.

Well said. I was cut like that before; I clearly knew I should stay calm but just couldn't resist.

That's right, the hardest part is maintaining the right mindset. I used to be the same; seeing everyone in the group hyping it up, I couldn't help but follow the trend and rush in, only to get stuck badly. Now I've learned to be smarter; no matter how good the market is, I stay calm and watch the charts carefully.

That was harsh, but it really hits home. Emotions can truly kill a person.
Getting 30 points is already good; last time I held on for two extra hours out of greed and ended up losing everything.
Staying calm is easy to say, but as soon as a big V starts hyping a trade, I’m dumbfounded.
Strategic planning is the key, but unfortunately most people can't wait that long.
The ones who really make money are those silent types, the ones who don’t speak up.
