🚫 The Trade I Regret the Most – Don’t Make My Mistake! 💸
We all have that one trade—the one that still stings, even after recovering. For me, it was $SOL at $245. Here’s how I got wrecked, what I learned, and how you can avoid making the same mistake.
📉 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. “This is going straight to $1000,” I told myself.
💀 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 here’s the painful part: I didn’t sell. Not at $200. Not at $100. Not even at $50. Why? Because I believed in SOL? No. Let’s be real—it’s hard to believe in any coin when it’s down 95%. The truth is, I just held because it didn’t even matter anymore.
The amount was already gone in my mind. Selling wouldn’t change anything.
🛑 The Lessons (So You Don’t Get Burned)
✅ Never Buy During Extreme Hype – If everyone is screaming bullish targets, it’s probably time to take profits, not enter.
✅ Don’t Hold Through Freefalls Without a Plan – I should have taken partial profits or set stop-losses instead of holding blindly.
✅ Market Cycles Take Time – Yes, $SOL recovered, but it took years. If I had sold at $200+ and rebought at $10-$20, I would’ve 10x’d my portfolio.
📌 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 there’s more upside. If I had done this at $245, I could’ve re-entered at $10 and turned losses into massive gains.
