There is an old saying in the market: good news attracts many, bad news cleans out the weak. In plain terms, news is always a script in the hands of the market makers.

Look at those retail investors chasing hot trends; as soon as good news comes out, they rush in, only to end up as the last ones to take the loss. Conversely, when it comes to bears, they panic and sell at the first sign of bad news, only to find that the shares they sold have already doubled in someone else's hands. This is the price paid for being led by the news.

Those who can survive in this market for a long time rely not on news sensitivity, but on whether they can withstand volatility. The rise and fall of popular coins like DOGE and PEPE are indeed related to market sentiment in the short term, but in the long run, the trend is determined by those who can endure loneliness and are unaffected by news.

Instead of constantly refreshing news, it's better to focus on understanding cycles and rhythms. This is the true safeguard for retail investors.

DOGE0,52%

PEPE2,02%

That's right, those who chase news every day are all rookies. I've seen through it long ago. --- The group of people who cut losses are indeed the most miserable, selling out without even knowing what happened. --- The words "cycle" and "rhythm" hit the nail on the head; retail investors just lack this patience. --- I'm indifferent to the rises and falls of DOGE and PEPE; the key is not to be caught in the trap. --- I understand the script of the market makers, but the problem is, I'm always the actor. --- Not checking the news is a lie, but indeed, you can't be hostage to the news. --- Holding through volatility is true skill; I agree with this statement. --- How are those guys chasing the trend now? Haha. --- News is always delayed; this is probably the fate of retail investors. --- Understanding cycles is more important than reaction speed; you were right this time.

Exactly right, I'm the fool led astray by the news, rushing in on good news only to be crushed by a dump right after.

That's right, news is just the dealer's anesthetic; retail investors get high from it with one sniff. I stopped reading the news a long time ago; reading it makes it easier to lose money. After so many years, I finally understand that cycles are much more reliable than news. That wave of DOGE, I was just fooled by the news into selling at a loss—blood and tears lesson. The key is to endure; really.

To put it simply, messages are just used to harvest the little guys; those chasing the hot trends all end up as cannon fodder.

That's right, I'm the kind of fool who chases news every day and gets liquidated. Now I'm so wiped out I doubt my life.

That's so true. I am the one who has been cut countless times by news. Now I have learned to hold positions with my eyes closed, and it has actually gone up.
