Is the market too difficult, or are we just too impulsive?
The longer I stay in the crypto space, the more I realize: many pitfalls are not given by the market, but are ones we jump into ourselves.
The following rules are reminders I’ve written down after countless reviews:
⸻
📉 1. When the market continuously drops during the day, are you panicking?
It is often at these times that a rebound quietly arrives; conversely, if the market surges too much during the day, it’s likely to drop back in the evening.
📍 2. When there’s a spike, do you rush to sell, or do you calmly observe?
Many people panic at spikes, but they are often a “test” from the controlling party; the more intense the spike, the closer it is to a turning point.
📰 3. Every time news is released, do you always end up “buying at the peak”?
The market has a tendency to react in advance and adjust afterward. When you see “significant good news,” most funds have already quietly entered.
💼 4. Why does your rhythm get disrupted when you take a heavy position?
Because you start to “fear losses,” and all your judgments are based around “fear.” It’s not that your technical skills are lacking; it’s a psychological imbalance.
📉 5. Do you often find that when you cut losses, the market then moves in the direction you originally intended?
It’s not that you are being targeted; it’s that your position aligns too closely with most others. This isn’t a matter of luck; it’s a matter of behavioral patterns.
🔚 6. When the market suddenly turns around just as you are about to break even, do you think it’s a coincidence?
It’s precisely because everyone is focused on “that point” ready to exit that the market won’t easily let you get away.
🚪 7. When you close a position, it suddenly takes off; whose fault is it really?
Actually, no one is at fault; the market is just waiting for the “pressure point chips” like yours to be cleared before it can advance freely.
🤯 8. Why does the market reverse every time you feel the most excited?
Because excitement is a collective emotion; once you feel the peak, you are mostly in the role of a “latecomer.”
🧠 9. The moment you experience FOMO, it’s actually the beginning of your rational exit.
When you feel “I can’t miss this,” you have already lost your ability to judge.
⸻
🎯 In closing:
You think trading is a game of luck, but in reality, it’s a game of human nature.
If you can’t control your impulses, they will repeatedly punish you.
So I remind myself: be slower, softer, and cooler.
The market isn’t afraid of your inaction; it’s afraid of how clearly you see things.
