#山寨币季节即将来临? The true enemy in the crypto world



After staying in this market for a while, you'll notice a pattern — the ones who really knock people down are never the market itself.

Price fluctuations are normal market movements. What’s scary? It’s those hands that always want to do something. When prices fall, they cut at the bottom; when prices rise, they chase the top. Many times, they get caught in these operations. When you analyze it, the problem is always the same — emotions are in control.

People tend to be extreme when afraid, and also extreme when optimistic. When afraid of zero, they panic-sell; when afraid of missing out, they chase the rally and buy high. The result? The original intention to follow the trend is lost, turning into money being sent against the trend.

**Volume is the real truth**

Everyone watching the charts knows that trading volume honestly reflects the market’s true sentiment. When emotions are hottest, volume explodes, and prices and bubbles soar together; when no one cares and interest wanes, it’s actually the stage of hidden currents. Experienced traders will lay low during these quiet moments.

The trends of $BTC, $ETH, $SOL and other mainstream coins have been verified dozens of times — the riskiest moments are precisely when the market is the most lively.

**Those who survive share a common trait**

There are many self-proclaimed "short-term experts" in the crypto space, but who can truly make consistent profits? It’s often those who can endure the longest.

Not greedily taking the last bit of profit — this sounds simple, but it’s almost impossible to do. How can you bear to cut in a rising trend? But often, right after cutting, the price rebounds. At this moment, the mindset breaks, and then they start revenge-trading, slowly evaporating their capital through repeated tinkering.

Not afraid of holding no position — this is a dividing line. Some people can’t stay still for a second, must hold coins to feel secure. The result? Frequent operations and constant losses. True experts are willing to wait; they’d rather miss a good opportunity than get chopped up in uncertain volatility.

**Behind the candlestick is human nature**

In the end, trading is not about how skillful you are with charting software or how deep your understanding of charts is, but whether you can control yourself.

Be decisive when it’s time to act, and be firm when it’s time to exit. This is the consensus among market veterans.

Many times, it’s really — doing nothing is more profitable than acting recklessly. Not trading for a month versus trading frequently for a month, the final account balance will tell you the answer.

The market is not short of opportunities. What’s lacking is the clarity to stay alert amid noise, and the discipline to resist temptation.

Exactly right, I'm the kind of sucker who gets rebound right after being liquidated—what a painful lesson.

That's really touching; the most tormenting moment is when you cut your losses.

Exactly right, I am the typical retail investor who sells at the bottom and chases the peak, with my mentality shattered.

Really, impulsiveness is the biggest enemy of retail investors. Couldn't agree more.

You're right, but I still tend to slip up. Really? Every time I cut my losses and then it rebounds, it drives me crazy. When experienced traders are all out of the market, I get anxious, afraid of missing out on a tenfold altcoin. They talk all fancy, but isn't greed the killer? Isn't it better to do nothing than to act recklessly and make money? Why can't I just control my hands? Is trading volume the most honest indicator? Then why am I still chasing highs? Actually, the problem is that I'm too inexperienced haha. Not trading for a month? That's a dream. I feel uncomfortable if I don't check every hour. This article should be posted on my trading interface.

It's nothing new, and you're right, but it's just impossible to do. The moment of cutting losses is truly despairing.

What I say is truly undeniable, I am that sucker who sells at the floor price, betrayed by my own fingers every time.

ngl the real opportunity cost isn't missing pumps, it's the basis points you bleed on emotional trades. volume doesn't lie but neither do your realized losses...

Sounds good in theory, but how many people can actually stay completely out of the market? I'm the kind of person who gets itchy hands; I regret it as soon as I sell.

That's right, but executing it is really a torment. I always tell myself to stay out of the market and wait for opportunities, but as soon as I see it rising, I can't sit still, and chasing highs has almost become a conditioned reflex.
