Sometimes watching the market feels like gambling. Seeing the coin price drop, thinking it's a good opportunity, and decisively averaging down. But what happens? Turn around and the market makes a sharp turn again. This is my story today.



During the day, my judgment was pretty good; it was indeed a relatively low point, and according to conventional logic, it should rebound here. But reality is like this—what you think is the bottom is often just the middle of a mountain. The more it drops, the cheaper it seems, and the cheaper it gets, the more you want to add to your position, creating a vicious cycle.

The most heartbreaking thing isn't just a one or two mistakes, but the repetitive pattern of this. The market fluctuates so much that judging the highs and lows is almost like gambling. Sometimes you're lucky, and sometimes you end up as the bag holder. Now I think, rather than gambling on luck, it's better to wait and see the next wave's rhythm.

Thinking about it makes me regret—if I had known earlier, I should have just held back during the day, since the recent market movements are hard to predict anyway.

Haha, this is my daily routine. Really, the more it drops, the more I want to buy the dip, but I get trapped. It's all about the thrill of the game.

It's the same old trick, spreading out until bankruptcy. --- Bottom illusion, the eternal classic routine. --- Promised to buy in at the low, but still got crushed. --- This mentality, even gamblers are more rational than you. --- It's just the daily life of a bag-holder, I’m the same way. --- Should have set a stop-loss long ago, but had to rely on luck. --- The biggest lie in the crypto world is "This is the bottom." --- With your moves, next time you won't be able to escape either.

I've long seen through this set of logic, which is a psychological trap. On-chain data shows that when large holders are dumping at high levels, retail investors are still calculating their cost basis, and the gap is clearly significant.

Bro, this is our daily routine. The bottom illusion is really amazing. Flatten this set, and before you know it, you'll become a gambler... Honestly, the biggest problem is that I know I can't gauge it accurately but still feel itchy to buy. Better to miss out than get trapped. That's my current mindset.

Oh no, it's me again, getting hammered once more. Spread out, spread out, until bankruptcy—it's truly a trap. The bottom illusion is so terrifying; every time I think this is the bottom, but I keep digging lower. I'm just lying here now; anyway, reckless trading won't make any money. Might as well clear my mind.
