After Taking Profit, It 'Skyrocketed': Are You Making Money or Just Betting Against Your Emotions?
The most torturous thing in the crypto world is not the loss, but the regret of 'selling too early.' You clearly made 2 times your investment, but as soon as you sell, the price starts to soar, as if mocking you for exiting too soon. You start to feel annoyed, blame yourself, and even regret 'why didn’t I hold on a bit longer?' — but at that moment, you forget that you have already won.
Behind this emotion is a deep-seated sense of 'frustrated control.' You thought you could control the market rhythm, but you find that the market always performs its next climax after you exit. This sense of 'missing out' not only makes you doubt your decision but also triggers a strong emotional urge to compensate: you want to buy back in, you want to 'recapture the profits that should have belonged to you.'
The result is often chasing high prices, getting trapped again, and experiencing another emotional collapse.
This is not an isolated case, but a common psychological struggle in the crypto world. True experts know: the market does not owe you the entire profit range; you earn a portion, not everything.
Taking profit is about executing a system, not pleasing emotions; just because the price skyrocketed after you took profit does not mean you were wrong. You are not here to gamble with fate, but to win steadily.
Remember this: you will never capture the entire market movement of a coin, but as long as you have a stable profit-making system, you have won the entire market.
