#数字货币市场洞察 This wave of the market really tests your nerves. $SOL A couple of days ago, it surged and then quickly pulled back—I almost got trapped. But at a critical moment, I made a decision: take the profits I’ve earned first, and deal with the rest later.
Honestly, I never used to do this. Back then, I would just stubbornly hold, refusing to let go until my stop-loss got hit, turning a profit into a loss. Looking back now, that was really foolish.
What I hate most are these shakeout markets. You clearly got the direction right, but just can’t bear to take profit. Then, a single swing in US stocks rattles the entire crypto market. Retail investors are greedy, and the market always targets that weakness.
Now I get it: In these volatile markets influenced by US stocks, holding on to existing profits is more realistic than chasing maximum gains. $BTC and $ETH follow the same logic.
Now I have a much clearer idea of what to do at key levels. Next Thursday’s big data release will be a turning point—let’s see what the market looks like then.

This is my painful lesson. In the past, I was only willing to accept it because I was greedy to the end.
Sell and run, my mindset has indeed improved a lot.
Whenever the US stocks move, I kneel down. It's too torturous.

Honestly, taking profits is easier said than done. I’ve been tormented by shakeouts as well.
Could it be that the data coming out next Thursday will be another false alarm? The US stock market is still an uncertainty here.
I should have listened to you earlier; if you can’t get rid of greed, the market will teach you a lesson every day.

This wave is really a mentality killer. I almost got wrecked on SOL as well.
Getting out early really feels great—much better than stubbornly holding on like before.
When the US stock market sneezes, the entire crypto market catches a cold. Retail investors are just too easy to get rekt.
Holding on to what you already have is the key; otherwise, you'll end up with a painful lesson like I did before.
Once the data comes out next Thursday, things should be clearer. Let's just wait and see.

Taking profits is really a hurdle; greed will kill you.
This is the market’s way of teaching you—you only learn after it hurts.
When U.S. stocks sneeze, we catch a cold. Retail traders have it rough.
Get in and get out early; don’t try to catch the whole move.
At key levels, you really need to lock in profits; not everything has to be held to the bitter end.

Taking profits is really much better than stubbornly holding on. All those years of getting whipsawed in the market were really wasted.
I've realized it now—greed is truly the biggest enemy for retail investors.
When the US stock market sneezes, crypto catches a cold. We just have to get used to it.
Let’s wait for next Thursday’s data before making any moves; for now, it’s enough to just hold what we have.
The painful lessons always come from being right about the direction but refusing to close the position.

Really, I've seen too many people stubbornly hold on until they lose everything in the end. This SOL wave is indeed fierce—clearly made a profit but still wanted more, and in the end, lost it all when the last one dumped.
Taking profit is really harder than cutting losses. To put it nicely, it's greed; to put it bluntly, it's asking to get trapped.
When the US stock market sneezes, we catch a cold here. Small retail investors are just repeatedly tormented by this.
We should be able to see some signs when the data comes out next Thursday. Let's wait and see.
Honestly, you still have to learn when to run. Stop always trying to get the last bite.
