Stop dreaming! What you think is timing the market is 99% illusion
Still fantasizing about elegantly selling at the peak of a bull market and accurately buying at the bottom of a bear market? Wake up!
Ask yourself: When Bitcoin breaks 100,000 and you shout that it's the peak, how do you feel when it rushes to 200,000?
When it falls to 70,000 and you're overjoyed to buy the dip! How do you feel when it crashes through 30,000?
The harsh reality is: the three most expensive words in the market are 'I thought so.'
So-called precise timing of selling high and buying low? That's mostly survivor bias, luck, not something you can control.
Mr. Market is best at slapping your face, and he does it fast and hard.
What you can truly control are these three things:
To buy or not? To sell or not? How much to buy or sell?
The rest? It's all up to the market. The more you try to predict it, the more you often lose.
The most realistic script in the crypto world:
When it rises: Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, fast, fierce, and unexpected. By the time you realize and think to wait a little longer, the opportunity has already slipped away.
When it falls: Like a dull knife cutting flesh, slow, grinding, and boiling frogs in warm water. It won't break your bottom line all at once, but repeatedly gives you hope: It's rebounding? Is it almost at the bottom? Can you hold on a bit longer?... Until it drains your last penny and your last bit of confidence. Especially those altcoins, they understand this well.
Are you like this?
When it rises? Always wanting to earn a bit more, reluctant to sell.
When it falls? Holding on for dear life waiting to break even, fantasizing about miracles.
The result? Watching profits go to zero, or even the principal shrinking, still waiting for that rebound that will definitely come back.
The painful truth:
Very few people actually make big money and walk away from the crypto world by relying on some miraculous timing of selling high and buying low.
When the market ends, the huge wealth has long been transferred. What you think is an opportunity is often a trap carefully set by others.
What you need is not a fantasy of getting rich quickly, but awareness of cycles, ironclad discipline, and strict risk control.
What is the key to surviving?
Recognize what you can control and what you cannot.
Establish rules, then execute them like a machine.
Give up on predictions, embrace responses.
Markets are unpredictable, the key is to wait for the right moment to act. If you're still confused, you might as well follow me. I will regularly share cutting-edge insights, precise strategies, and practical tips to help you seize the big trends!
