đ« The Trade I Regret the Most â Donât Make My Mistake! đž
We all have that one tradeâthe one that still stings, even after recovering. For me, it was $SOL at $245. Hereâs how I got wrecked, what I learned, and how you can avoid making the same mistake.
đ The Setup: FOMO Took Over
I was just a beginner and it was peak euphoria. Solana was unstoppable, breaking new highs daily. Everyone was calling it the next Ethereum, and I kept waiting for a dip that never came. At $245, I finally caved in. âThis is going straight to $1000,â I told myself.
đ The Crash: Reality Hits Hard
Days later, the market turned. Bitcoin dumped, and Solana followed. $200⊠$150⊠$100⊠before I knew it, $SOL was at $8.
But hereâs the painful part: I didnât sell. Not at $200. Not at $100. Not even at $50. Why? Because I believed in SOL? No. Letâs be realâitâs hard to believe in any coin when itâs down 95%. The truth is, I just held because it didnât even matter anymore.
The amount was already gone in my mind. Selling wouldnât change anything.
đ The Lessons (So You Donât Get Burned)
â
Never Buy During Extreme Hype â If everyone is screaming bullish targets, itâs probably time to take profits, not enter.
â
Donât Hold Through Freefalls Without a Plan â I should have taken partial profits or set stop-losses instead of holding blindly.
â
Market Cycles Take Time â Yes, $SOL recovered, but it took years. If I had sold at $200+ and rebought at $10-$20, I wouldâve 10xâd my portfolio.
đ The Fix: How I Trade Now
Instead of chasing, I buy dips and scale in slowly. When I see parabolic moves, I take profits, even if I believe thereâs more upside. If I had done this at $245, I couldâve re-entered at $10 and turned losses into massive gains.
