Dropped a lot and got trapped! Sold as soon as it rose a little!

Many people in the investment market have had this experience: the price of coins keeps falling, watching the assets shrink, yet not daring to take action, fearing that selling will mean selling at the lowest point. The result is — getting trapped.

When the market finally rises a little, the losses on paper are reduced, and the pressure in the heart suddenly skyrockets, with the mind only thinking, "Quickly relieve this!" Thus, one can't help but hurriedly sell during the small rise. Although the pain of being trapped is relieved, it usually means missing out on potentially larger gains later.

In fact, this is the classic portrayal of the "retail investor mentality": not daring to cut losses when falling, and not daring to hold on when rising. The underlying reason is not a lack of skill, but an inability to control emotions. What the market tests is often not knowledge, but human nature.

To break this cycle, there are two key points:

First, one must clarify what their investment target is and whether they have confidence in its value. If one is just following the trend to buy, they will definitely become anxious when it drops, ultimately leading to blind operations.

Second, one needs to have a strategy, whether it's long-term holding or short-term trading, one must think through the entry and exit standards in advance to avoid last-minute decisions driven by emotions.

"Dropped a lot and got trapped! Sold as soon as it rose a little!" This statement actually reminds us: if there’s no sense of direction and orders are placed based solely on feelings, one will often end up being harvested by the market. Investing is not a test of who runs fast, but of who can remain calm between fear and greed.
