Ethereum's recent market trend may seem simple, but in fact, it is full of hidden currents. Recently, traders who are firmly bullish have endured pressures beyond ordinary imagination—market volatility, community doubts, and internal struggles. Market movements change rapidly, and every correction feels like a test of faith. Those who hold their long positions are already accustomed to the tug-of-war with the market. No one truly understands this feeling—enduring short-term slander and setbacks while maintaining their judgment. Perhaps this is the essence of trading: gains and psychological costs are often equal.

Really, sticking to a long position gets you criticized, now I understand --- Every time there's a pullback, I want to cut my position, but luckily I didn't move --- You're so right, this psychological torment is more painful than losing money --- Faith is something that, at critical moments, is the most valuable --- I'm the one who gets hit but still keeps struggling --- Are profits and costs proportional? Why do I feel like I only put in effort without gains --- Holding the long position until now, my mind is not quite clear anymore haha --- No one understands? Wrong, everyone here is a victim --- Holding on to judgments is really difficult, especially when seeing others' unrealized gains

Really, holding a bullish stance right now just means getting scolded, with the community criticizing daily. The most competitive aspect in the crypto world isn't the market trend, but mental resilience. No matter how eloquently you speak, it can't change the reality of being cut during a pullback; faith can't fill your wallet. Bullish bottom-fishing until you're out of money is indeed a common practice. Every time, it's said to be a test, and in the end, the test results in admitting defeat.

Really, how miserable must those who are bullish feel right now... Every time there's a pullback, they get criticized again. Basically, it's a psychological battle—whoever chickens out first loses. This is trading; there's no such thing as a one-time solution. The noise in the community is the most annoying, but in the long run, those who stay bullish are always the ones who stick it out until the end. Returns and psychological torment are really proportional, I’m not joking. What are you afraid of? Anyway, most people have already been shaken out. Those who still dare to hold on now are traders with a plan. Every time I want to give up, I turn around and buy again... This feeling, if you haven't experienced it, you can't really describe it. It's so frustrating.

To be honest, those still stubbornly holding onto the bullish trend must have a really strong mentality. I truly admire them. Being repeatedly beaten down every day and still pretending nothing's wrong—who can handle that?

Really, this sentence hit me—profits and psychological costs are proportional. What sounds good is faith; what sounds bad is gambling. --- Holding a long position stubbornly for so long is just incredible. I can't see any hope. --- After all this, isn't it just about winning with the right mindset? What if my mindset is poor? --- Stop with those trivial things. Honestly, it's a matter of profit or loss. --- So in the end, those who make money are the ones with strong stress tolerance. It’s a bit competitive. --- I just want to ask those who are holding on, looking back now, was it worth it? --- Ugh, I'm tired. This market trend is like a psychological battle, too exhausting. --- It sounds very inspiring, but I want to see the results more than the process.
