It’s a bit heartbreaking to talk about. I used to be confident and decisive when spotting market opportunities, but this time I didn’t jump in. Watching the price fall step by step, I felt so frustrated—how could it drop like this?

Thinking carefully, maybe it's because I’m getting older, and my trading mindset and approach can’t keep up with the rhythm anymore. I dare not think about how comfortable those friends who shorted at 3150 are now, nor do I want to calculate how sweet those still holding short positions at 3400 slept last night.

After tallying up the results, this wave of ETH trading directly lost 13,000. It’s a bit disappointing. I’ve decided to rest for a few days, adjust my mindset, and gradually wait out with a slow, recovery mode. Maybe next time the market comes, I can grasp that rhythm. Trading isn’t about throwing a tantrum; I need to leave some space for myself.

Missed it, just missed it. 13000 is not a small amount, stay calm and composed. When your mindset collapses, it's indeed easy to regret later. Maybe next time you can buy the dip. That wave at 3150 was truly incredible, but life isn't just about this one opportunity. Adjust and come back stronger. Age really affects reaction speed, I’ve slowed down too. But if you lose, you lose. Don’t dwell on those what-ifs — the most painful thing is always looking back. This pace is indeed fast. Sometimes falling behind can actually help you live longer. Thinking about it, it’s not a loss. Taking a few days to rest is actually wise. Many people end up losing again because they’re eager to recover. Getting 13k to learn something new isn’t a bad idea, but they still chase after it. Mindset is worth much more than skills. Not many people understand this principle. Sometimes, not making a move is the best move. Once you realize this, you’ve already gained.

This wave is really tough, lost 13,000, oh my god... Maybe it's better to stay calm and not get more anxious about the losses. If your mindset collapses, it's easy to regret and it's not worth it. Rest well and come back later, don't gamble with the market, really.
