#数字资产市场动态 Buying then falling, selling then rising—have you stepped into this pit?

Many people have experienced this frustrating situation: shortly after entering, the coin price suddenly plunges; just when you finally cut losses, the market rebounds, and you watch your profits slip away. Over time, you start to feel like a contrarian indicator, doing the opposite of what the market suggests.

But have you ever thought about whether this is really a matter of luck?

In fact, every trade in the market is not a coincidence. At the same price level, thousands of retail investors are doing the same actions—when the market drops, everyone panics and rushes to escape; when the rise begins, they flock in chasing the high. Most retail investors trade based on emotions, and the result is naturally a collective trap.

More importantly, the main funds have long figured out the weaknesses of retail investors. They deliberately create oscillations—shaking out retail investors with sudden drops, then enticing them to chase highs and buy in—just to achieve the goals of accumulating or dumping. Your entry and exit points happen to become tools for others’ arbitrage.

This is where quantitative investing can be effective—it uses data and patterns to replace emotional judgment, helping you jump out of human nature’s traps. But don’t treat it as a god; historical data can only serve as a reference. No one can predict market changes with 100% certainty, and risks always exist.

To put it simply, the market doesn’t deliberately target any individual. Your unrealized losses are not because you are chosen, but because of the inherent patterns of market fluctuations. Keep a calm mindset, pace your trades well, and don’t always think about whether you are a contrarian indicator—only then can you survive longer, stay steady, and earn steadily in the crypto world.
