š« The Trade I Regret the Most ā Donāt Make My Mistake! šø
We all have that one tradeāthe one that still stings, even after recovering. For me, it was $SOL at $245. Hereās how I got wrecked, what I learned, and how you can avoid making the same mistake.
š 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. āThis is going straight to $1000,ā I told myself.
š 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 hereās the painful part: I didnāt sell. Not at $200. Not at $100. Not even at $50. Why? Because I believed in SOL? No. Letās be realāitās hard to believe in any coin when itās down 95%. The truth is, I just held because it didnāt even matter anymore.
The amount was already gone in my mind. Selling wouldnāt change anything.
š The Lessons (So You Donāt Get Burned)
ā
Never Buy During Extreme Hype ā If everyone is screaming bullish targets, itās probably time to take profits, not enter.
ā
Donāt Hold Through Freefalls Without a Plan ā I should have taken partial profits or set stop-losses instead of holding blindly.
ā
Market Cycles Take Time ā Yes, $SOL recovered, but it took years. If I had sold at $200+ and rebought at $10-$20, I wouldāve 10xād my portfolio.
š 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 thereās more upside. If I had done this at $245, I couldāve re-entered at $10 and turned losses into massive gains.
