#数字资产市场动态 Many people believe their market analysis skills are not bad, so why can't they turn things around? To put it simply, no matter how good your technical skills are, they can't withstand a collapsing mentality.



For example, believing a certain coin can rise three to five times, but after two or three days of sideways movement, people start to change their tune—"doubling is enough." As demand keeps dropping, the ceiling gets lower and lower. This isn't rational adjustment; it's being blinded by short-term volatility.

The real killer isn't a 50% cut; that's manageable. What’s frightening is the slow grind, sudden wild swings, and then more grinding. In a bull market, the most despairing thing isn't a single crash but this repeated torment. From all-time highs, reluctant to buy the dip; when it hits the bottom, feeling it's not interesting anymore. The problem isn't fear of losing money; it's fear of holding—fear of both losing and making money.

Interestingly, holding during a decline isn't necessarily impressive; often, it's just that you can't sell. The real test is the courage to continue holding during the rise. When it multiplies several times and then wants to go even higher, the more you earn, the more you want to run—this psychological pressure is deadly.

A tenfold drop causes panic, but a tenfold increase can be even more frightening. That's why so many people mess around with altcoins—seeing dozens of times volatility as a surprise, but in fact, it's a pattern. This is how the big players operate: repeatedly grinding at the bottom, slowly eroding retail investors' patience, courage, and expectations for the future. Years of downward moves and sideways trading have squeezed the potential profit from dozens of dollars into just a couple of dollars before they sell.

When retail investors only dare to focus on tiny gains and no longer look at long-term returns, the big market move is about to start.

Long-term decline isn't because the coin lacks potential; it's redistributing the upward space from retail investors. Several sharp rises aren't a free lunch from the sky but a reward for those who endure.

So, a bull market isn't born from rising; it's endured. The market won't pause for your feelings. Only those who can endure will have the chance to see the big waves ahead; most people don't die in a crash but in the long wait, when they see a glimmer of hope and get scared, never daring to move forward again.

Really speaking, the most dreaded thing is that frustrating sideways movement, which is even more uncomfortable than a direct 50% cut.

Well said. I'm the one who sees a slight increase and wants to run, and now I regret it to death.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. I was the same back then—after two days of sideways movement, I started self-hypnosis, and in the end, I didn't make much money. Now I understand that the real test isn't when prices fall, but whether you dare to hold on during the rise. Only by enduring can you have the story afterward. Most people die before dawn. Those who survive this wave of market are the winners.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of person who wants to sell as soon as it goes up a little, but end up becoming the bag holder...

Well said. I'm the kind of loser who wants to sell after doubling the price. After three days of sideways movement, I change my tune. Isn't this my true portrayal?... Mentality really can't be trained. I'm too familiar with that grind and repeated pull-back rhythm; every time I feel I can't hold on. The phrase "the more I earn, the more I want to run" really hits home, it's painful. The main force is gradually eroding our expectations this way, I believe it. Can't hold on anymore. As soon as I see a glimmer of hope, I want to run, and every time it's the same.
