I recently had a trade that started wrong but ended up teaching me a powerful lesson. I entered a BTC trade based on RSI and MACD crossover. The setup looked perfect. But I ignored one thing — the broader market sentiment. Just hours after entering, the entire market took a hit due to a sudden regulatory announcement. My position went red quickly. Luckily, I had a stop-loss in place, and the damage was minimal. The lesson? Never trade in isolation. Always consider external factors and market-wide sentiment. A perfect chart setup can still fail if the environment isn’t right. This experience taught me to always check the crypto news and sentiment before confirming any setup.
