Every sudden drop in the market is a test of holding power. When the candlestick dives, the green bars stab at the psychological defenses of traders like a sharp blade — measuring not only account fluctuations but also the true reactions of human nature in extreme conditions.
Novices often fall into the "wave illusion": fantasizing about perfect operations of "buy low and sell high" based on historical trends, only to be forced to watch their chips soar during a one-sided market. When prices break through, those who once claimed, "it's no big deal to chase the rise" often find themselves caught in the contradiction of "waiting for a pullback to get in": fearing to buy at high levels while also fearing to miss out, repeatedly tearing at their positions in confusion.
Every question of "what should I do" exposes the struggle between greed and fear. They want to seize every fluctuation while being unable to let go of the obsession with the safety of their principal. This split eventually evolves into mechanical trading — consuming fees through frequent buying and selling during the day, raising costs in chasing rises and falls, until one day they realize: what shrinks in the account is not just the numbers but also the judgment swallowed by anxiety.
The essence of the market has never been in the ups and downs of minute charts. When all indicators and techniques are set aside, can the position withstand the purest questioning of faith? The most precious gift in a volatile market may lie in the furnace of fluctuations, refining the anchor of steadiness that transcends bull and bear markets.
