Have you ever experienced this—seeing a nice unrealized profit in your account, only to have it fluctuate away, causing your mindset to start trembling? Especially when holding mainstream coins like ETH, the volatility is significant, and the highest point of unrealized gains often coincides with the most nervous moments.

What is behind this phenomenon? Some say it's a psychological expectation gap—it's indeed satisfying when the account balance rises, but even a small dip can trigger a strong sense of loss. Others believe it's due to poorly set take-profit and stop-loss levels, leaving traders uncertain. Some seasoned traders mention that this actually reflects market sentiment— the more unrealized gains, the more susceptible one is to any market fluctuation.

Interestingly, many people tend to make more mistakes during the unrealized profit phase than when in loss. Perhaps this is the true test of a trader.
