What's really keeping holders locked in right now? Most aren't hitting the sell button despite volatility—and there's more to it than just blind faith. Think about it: are they waiting for a specific price target, or has the narrative shifted? Market psychology plays huge here. Strong believers typically hold through cycles, betting on longer-term value. Then there's the tax angle, liquidity concerns, or simply the conviction that selling now means missing the next rally. The real question isn't whether holders are strong—it's whether their conviction matches the market fundamentals. What's your take on what's driving the holding pressure?

nah this is just copium central tbh. nobody's holding for "conviction"—they're either underwater and too stubborn to take the L, or they're waiting for that one pump to escape with dignity. the tax excuse is wild tho, like dude just realize you lost money lol

To be honest, most people are stuck because of taxes and trading pairs, it's not really a matter of faith. Wait, can this really rise this time? I don't see the fundamentals changing much... Most of the people holding on tightly probably have no more principal invested, and now they're afraid of taking a loss.

To be honest, taxes are the real lock-in factor; no one wants to lose money and pay the tax authorities. However, those with true conviction are indeed different. I've seen people hold for 5 years and end up making a fortune. The key is to ask yourself whether you truly believe in the fundamentals. Wait, does anyone still care about price targets? I only look at charts to speak.

Basically, it's just greed, always thinking that the next wave will be the real takeoff.

I've said it before, and if you're still hesitating about selling or not, it's because you haven't grasped the big trend. Those who truly understand have already seen through it. This is the best opportunity to get on board. While others are fearful, I am greedy. Did you miss this wave?

To be honest, those still holding on tightly now are half true believers and half just afraid of getting cut and slapped in the face... Taxes are indeed a trap.

Honestly, I think many people are just trapped, it's not really about faith... Wait, the real killer is the taxes and fees, selling actually results in a loss. I think, at this price level, if it drops further, it's going to be hard to recover later.

Honestly, most people are scared off by tax and gas fees, haha --- To be honest, this wave is just a gamble on the next rally; the psychological preparation is pretty much there --- Wait... isn't this talking about me... I really didn't think about selling now --- Market psychology is really intense. Most people around me think this way --- Conviction match fundamentals? I think most are just holding based on feelings

To be honest, most people are just betting on the next wave of gains, it's not really a matter of faith. Wait, the real lock-up tool is the tax cost. I think the core is still psychological warfare; everyone is afraid of selling too early. The fundamentals don't support the narrative; it will fall sooner or later. Holding pressure is just FOMO, don't make it sound so profound.
