Early riser worms sometimes can't escape the bird's beak. The BTC long position was washed out near the breakeven point, watching the market fluctuate back and forth can be frustrating, and it looks like the target price is just a few points away. However, the market moved unexpectedly.

But there's no need to rush. The best approach in such situations is to step back first, take a breather, and calmly observe the subsequent market movements before making a decision. Small mistakes in position management are not uncommon; the key is to learn to cut losses in time and wait for better opportunities.

Recently, I haven't been paying much attention to the spot market. Taking advantage of this correction, I also casually allocated some coins in popular sectors, both to diversify risk and to participate in some new opportunities. After all, trading is like watching a game—buy a ticket, hold patiently, and maybe someday there will be a surprise.

Almost there, but the market turned around, this is the crypto world after all. Got it, cutting losses in time really saves lives, much better than holding on until it’s too late. The spot market rotates so quickly, it’s reasonable to hold more different coins, anyway it’s just a gamble for a surprise, right?

Almost reached the target price but got shaken out. This wave is indeed a bit tough, but the stop-loss was well done, much better than those who stubbornly hold on. Retail investors are like this, always missing that final step. Market makers love to play psychological games like this. It's okay to allocate to new sectors now, but be careful not to fall into the next trap of being cut again.

Oh no, I almost got caught. This round was really tough. Speaking of which, timely stop-loss is truly an art. Holding on stubbornly is much more uncomfortable. The spot allocation move was good. Diversifying risk has to be played like this.

Oh no, being washed out again is really frustrating, just a little short of the mark. Anyway, stop-loss, stop-loss. Sometimes breaking even and exiting is a profit. Configuring new tokens is still a good move; diversifying risk really has to be played this way.

Uh... it's that same logic of "stop loss to win" again, but the real issue is that you haven't seen the on-chain fund flow behind this wave of shakeouts.
