Recently, I discovered a problem when trading — being too impatient. Just like cooking, once the heat is overdone, even the best ingredients can burn. I truly realized this when chopping vegetables the other day. It reminded me that lately, I’ve been trying to catch every market fluctuation, but instead, I’ve been making more and more mistakes. In fact, waiting when it’s necessary is simple in theory, but difficult to execute.



RIVER/USDT is currently in a position where observation is needed. After the price surged significantly from 15.77 USDT, signs of market divergence appeared — the 1-hour MACD histogram has turned negative, but the 4-hour RSI is still approaching overbought territory. More importantly, trading volume has expanded dramatically, with volatility so intense that it’s unsettling.

Entering the market at this time? The risk is just too high. Instead of betting on the next move, it’s better to patiently wait for the price structure to become clearer and market sentiment to cool down. After all, opportunities are everywhere, but the premise is to stay alive. Recently, the focus is on controlling position sizes and thoroughly reviewing previous trades to see where judgments went wrong.

This is just my personal trading observation; risk is on your own.

Can't help but want to chase the order, but luckily I stopped myself. Staying alive is the hard truth.

It's the same old story again... but to be honest, RIVER this time is indeed a bit messy. The arbitrage bots on the mempool are sniffing wildly, and my gas optimization model is about to overload.

This wave definitely needs to be stabilized; there's no rush. In the face of big fluctuations, it's easiest to slip up. I was once smashed because I tried to buy the dip, and since then I've learned to wait and watch the market first.

This wave of RIVER is really a litmus test; not many winners can resist staying still.

Well said, this wave of RIVER is just a trap, I'm watching too. The trading volume is so volatile, entering is just like giving away money. Let's talk about it later, anyway, you can't run away. This mindset really needs to be tempered, it's too tough, brother. The cooking analogy is perfect, it's exactly the same principle. No rush to make money, stay alive first, +1.

That's so true, rushing in really makes you vulnerable to getting caught. I didn't dare to jump into this RIVER move either; with such exaggerated volume, it's actually more dangerous.
