#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 The evening market indeed tests your mentality—especially during the time window from 11 PM to 2 AM. Volatility is intense, and the direction swings unpredictably. A slight lapse in attention can easily trigger stop-losses.

Rather than stubbornly watching the market, it's better to actively "rest." During this period, most institutional players are shaking out weak hands, and retail investors often suffer losses. Instead of passively taking hits, it's wiser to exit early and protect your positions.

Once the market direction becomes clearer, adjust your strategy according to the trend. $BTC $ETH $ZEC Mainstream coins like these, although highly liquid, also experience intense fluctuations during shakeout periods. Protecting your principal is more important than chasing short-term gains.

Again at this price point, how many people have been whipsawed out... I’ll just go to sleep and check again when I wake up. --- From 11 PM to 2 AM is really a time that traps retail investors, Large Investors whipsawing just waits for you to not hold on. --- To be honest, I feel that instead of getting caught up in short-term trading, it’s more practical to protect the principal. --- Those still staring at the market during this time are mostly paying tuition to Large Investors. --- Defending the principal > chasing profits, this logic is simple but how many people don’t listen... --- No matter how strong BTC is, it can’t withstand the whipsaw, it’s better to leave the market early for peace of mind. --- Instead of forcing yourself to watch, it’s better to go to bed early. It’s not too late to study the trend when you wake up. --- The fluctuations in the evening are simply testing people's patience; I choose to lie flat. --- What good is good liquidity? You still get swept during the whipsaw. It’s better to wait until the direction is clear before participating. --- This time window is like a buffet for Large Investors, the more retail investors participate, the more they lose.

Damn, this time period really is a harvest for the newbies. I got washed out here before. I should have just gone to sleep as the original poster suggested, but I insisted on watching... The phrase "defend principal" hits hard. How many people have lost everything just for a few percentage points of profit? But honestly, when will the SEC's framework actually be implemented? How much longer will this tug-of-war last?

Well said. Recently, it's been a frenzy of big players harvesting retail investors. Instead of staying up all night and getting cut, it's better to withdraw first.

Damn, this time period is really a leek harvesting machine. I previously got shaken out just by watching the market. Exactly, mainstream coins are also jumping around at this level. It's better to stay alive first and then think about making money. Sleep is more valuable than short-term gains. That's the attitude I have right now.

Exactly right. During that time period, I got cut every time. Now I’m just going to sleep. This wave really requires admitting defeat. Instead of chasing short-term gains, it’s better to protect the principal. Staying up late to watch the market is pure suffering. Big players eat the meat, and we just drink the soup. Tonight’s shakeout was really fierce. Retail investors should stop messing around. Wait until the direction is clear before taking action. It’s much better than the chaos at night. Protecting the principal is the key. Short-term gains are just floating clouds.

Ha, it's the same old spiel, as if they haven't been washed before. The big players did harvest during that period, but who can guarantee they won't miss out if they sleep? Capital defense is indeed important, but if your mindset collapses, it's all for nothing.

That's so true. That time period is indeed when big players harvest. I used to force trades and operate blindly, and as a result, I got washed out several times. Now I just choose to sleep. Sometimes the best trade is no trade at all. Capital safety is the key. With the SEC regulatory news coming out, we need to stay calm and avoid getting anxious due to nighttime volatility. Honestly, instead of staying up late chasing highs and lows, it's better to get out early when the trend is clear, to avoid being trapped. I agree, from 11 PM to 2 AM is basically a playground for big players, and retail investors going in are just offering themselves as targets. The key is to clearly understand when to make a move and when to hold back. Not every rise and fall can be caught.

That's so true. I always get trapped during that time window, so I just stop looking. I should have realized this earlier. Instead of stubbornly holding on, it's better to sleep. The principal is the key. I'm a bit scared by this round of shakeouts; I'll step back and wait for signals. Actually, greed harms people. If you're confident in the long term, don't get caught up in messing around with minute charts.

From 11 PM to 2 AM is truly a hunting ground for big players; retail investors should not join the fun. Staying up all night watching the market is not as good as sleeping; preserving your capital is the key. Honestly, a shakeout is just a shakeout; even coins with good liquidity can't escape this fate. Instead of chasing short-term profits, it's better to focus on good defense; surviving to the next wave is the real winner.
