The consolidation phase often tests human nature the most. Once the market fluctuates, who can make money in the short term? It’s always the big players who master the rhythm. Retail investors, no matter how smart, are just guessing; even the most precise calculations may not help them avoid losses. Some people have indeed made a profit once or twice, but greed kicks in, and they’re reluctant to take profits. After losing money, they panic and try to recover their losses recklessly, risking everything they’ve earned before, ultimately ending up with even greater losses. Bitcoin’s current market trend is the same—alternating rises and falls are a test of everyone’s mindset.
