Many people are asking: Why do altcoins always rise and fall, but accounts struggle to recover?
In fact, let's take a moment to reflect on whether we have had such thoughts ourselves:
"It hasn't taken off yet; it will definitely explode!"
"I'll keep trading to average down my cost; I'll eventually break even."
"As long as I hold on, I'll eventually see a double; at least I'll get my capital back."
These thoughts don't sound wrong, but the problem is that they trap people in a cycle:
When prices are low, they are afraid to add too much, fearing further drops; when prices are high, they are reluctant to sell, thinking prices will rise further; they attempt to trade to lower their costs, only to end up buying at rebound highs and selling at pullback lows; they keep averaging down and holding, only to realize that yesterday's "low point" has become today's "high point."
This is the predicament that many retail investors repeatedly experience in the altcoin market.
At this point, the market is no longer a game of "pure logic"—large funds, data, emotions, and social media are all being manipulated by institutions, creating a complete harvesting rhythm.
What you think is rational trading is actually being driven by "consensus."
So we need to understand:
- Not all coins will explode, and not all coins are worth holding indefinitely.
- Trading requires rhythm, and it is essential to have stop-loss and take-profit limits.
- It's okay to make judgment errors; the key is not to keep averaging down in an emotional state.
In this market, what matters is not "holding on without selling," but being clear-sighted, acting accurately, and knowing when to take profits.
Using spare money to trade coins, investing rationally, and not letting emotions dictate actions will allow you to survive longer and go further in this game.
Don't make trading coins everything in life; save some energy to live well in reality, as that is the biggest win.
In this market, keeping up is more important than just watching closely.
