You're looking at your portfolio. It's ugly. You probably feel sick.
You're already drowning in the first wave of regret:
"I should have sold at $20... I should have sold at $7... I'm an idiot."
You're staring at that spot bag you bought on Alpha, the one that was supposed to be your millionaire-maker, and you're thinking... "I should just sell. I have to save what's left. I can't look at this anymore."
STOP. BREATHE. AND LISTEN TO ME.
I am warning you right now. You are about to make the third and most painful mistake of all.
You think you regret not selling the top?
I promise you, the regret of selling the absolute, gut-wrenching, capitulation bottom is a feeling 100 times worse.
You have held through 90% of the pain. You survived the bull traps, the fakeouts, and the non-stop crash. You did the hard part. DO NOT DONATE YOUR COINS TO THE MARKET MAKERS AT THE FINISH LINE.
Don't you dare sell your "retire" bag just because you're scared today.
This Is the Reality You're Facing:
The chart is broken. The hype is dead. The sentiment is pure despair.
This is exactly the moment when bottoms are made.
And yes, I am CLEARLY saying that right now, both LONGS and SHORTS in futures are a terrible, high-risk idea. The clean, easy moves are gone. It's a chop-zone designed to liquidate everyone left.
The ONLY better option is to WAIT.
You already lost that money on paper. It's gone. Selling now doesn't "save" it; it just locks in your loss at the worst possible price.
But if you wait... if you just do nothing... you hold the one thing that still has value: The Ticket.
You hold the ticket for the day "any positive news" hits. For the day the hype machine finds this coin again. For the day it rips 500% in 12 hours and rips back to $6.50 or $7.00, leaving everyone who sold at the bottom in total disbelief.
Don't get attached to a coin, but don't panic-sell the bottom. We're in the "Alpha" zone for a reason.
There are plenty of new opportunities out there, and we will find them. But giving up your stack now is how you guarantee you'll regret this cycle... again.
Be patient. Don't be exit liquidity.
