After spending a long time on a major exchange or in the crypto circle, the worst thing isn't a downturn, but the moment you suddenly don't want to look at the market.



This feeling comes quickly and goes just as fast. Sometimes it's just a signal that your account is oscillating at high levels and your emotions are being overexerted, not a trend reversal at all.

The effort is still ongoing, but the returns haven't caught up yet—this "mismatch in gains" can easily make people want to exit immediately. However, rushing to escape often makes the problem worse.

The truly smart approach should be to adjust your position rather than exit outright. Lower your expectations a bit, slow down your trading rhythm, and first detach yourself from the high-volatility emotions.

Once your mindset stabilizes and your state recovers, you can decide whether to hold steady, reduce your position, or switch to a different track—it's never too late. After all, the most dangerous thing is never a temporary difficulty, but exhausting yourself completely.

It's so real. The moment I don't want to look at the charts is truly a warning sign of a mental breakdown. I deeply understand.

Ah, that's so true. I'm the kind of person who can't look at the charts and just loses their composure.

Well said. The moment you don't want to look at the market is indeed the most dangerous. That's how I got cut on the floor. This is a mindset issue, not a market issue at all. You need to think more openly. Adjusting the pace is much smarter than running away. Otherwise, you'll regret it again when the rebound comes. Sometimes stopping to reflect is really more satisfying than constantly trading. Don't wear yourself out to the point of being a walking corpse. That hits hard. The most painful moment is when your returns don't match up. You really need to stay calm. People who make money are those who are alive first, not those who fight desperately.
