I've been watching for several days, but I didn't dare to take action. I kept thinking to wait a bit longer and see if the trend would become clearer. And what happened? I placed an order last night, and it felt like I stepped on a landmine—my funds evaporated instantly.

This feeling is truly devastating. I was confident in the fundamentals of this coin, yet I entered at the most awkward time. Is the market playing tricks on me, or did I just fail to grasp the trading rhythm?

Looking back now, which is more painful—missing out on the opportunity or getting caught in a trade? It seems both are equally despairing.

ngl this is literally the textbook case i always warn my students about—paralysis by analysis followed by the worst possible entry. fundamentally speaking, timing the market isn't about finding the "perfect" moment, it's about understanding your own risk tolerance first, you know? anyway yeah the fomo swing hit different when it's your own capital lmaooo

This is the classic script in the crypto world. Just wait and wait, then you get in, and it blows up immediately...

This is the legendary "bet on the right direction and die before dawn," right? Haha Oh my god, this timing killer, I often make the same mistake. Missing out is painful for 5 minutes, being trapped is painful for 5 months... multiple choice question

I've experienced both missing out and being trapped, and honestly, I was both desperate. But being trapped is worse—because you have to watch it fall right before your eyes.
