#2026年比特币行情展望 Many traders fall into the same vicious cycle: taking profits quickly to lock in small gains, fearing that the profits might reverse; but when they suffer a loss, they hold on tightly, hoping for a market reversal. This is not a matter of luck; it’s human nature acting up.



I’ve also fallen into this trap. When I made a 3% profit, I was eager to withdraw immediately, and sometimes I’d start to get nervous after just a 2% gain. But what about losses? I’d always think to wait a bit longer, only to see small losses turn into big ones, and finally watch my account shrink right before my eyes. The most frustrating part is, just a few days after selling, the coin’s price starts to surge— that feeling can really drive you crazy.

The turning point came from a painful lesson. I once bet my entire position on a "potential" new coin and lost 80% within a week. My mind went blank, and I finally understood what it means when chasing a dark horse is like jumping into a black hole.

Since then, I’ve completely changed my approach:

**1. Only trade what you know, don’t gamble on uncertainties**
Focus on mainstream coins like $BTC, $SOL, and avoid chasing air coins. Some say this shows a lack of imagination, but I sleep soundly. Reliability > excitement, no matter how you add it up, it’s worth it.

**2. Never try to bottom-fish**
Use a very small position to test the waters. If you judge wrong, cut your losses immediately—consider it the cost of treating yourself to a cup of milk tea. The courage to cut losses is often more valuable than anything else.

**3. Take profits in stages**
When the price rises to a certain level, take out your initial capital first, and let the remaining profits continue to dance with the market. This way, no matter how it moves later, your mindset stays stable.

Real big gains don’t come from earning small profits every day, but from seizing those few key big waves. The market rewards those with patience and the ability to hold positions—frequent trading often costs you in fees and getting cut.

If you’re stuck in the cycle of "take profits and run, endure losses," the problem is probably not the market itself but your lack of clear exit rules and proper holding mentality. Changing this habit is the first step to escaping the vicious cycle.

honestly the whole "timing the bottom" thing is where most retail gets absolutely rekt... protocol sustainability requires discipline, not gambling instincts on shitcoins. stick to the network effects that actually matter—BTC, SOL—and you won't be chasing ghosts. the real alpha isn't frequency, it's patience.

I've experienced 80% losses too, and it really feels devastating. Now I'm just holding onto BTC and SOL, and not touching anything else.

That 80% loss I experienced before still scares me to this day... Stop-loss really saves lives.

That's right, mindset can really ruin everything. Me too, I want to run after earning 2%, but hold tightly when losing, it's so true. That wave of full-position new coins was indeed exciting, but the cost was too high. Now I just stick to mainstream coins, it's much more reassuring. The hardest part is stop-loss, but once you master it, your whole approach will click.

That 80% hit really broke me this time. Now holding onto BTC without moving is also a kind of relief.

80% That time was really amazing, I also played it to the point of wasting. Now I firmly hold mainstream coins, and my mindset feels much more comfortable. --- Exactly, there's nothing wrong with what you said, but the hardest part is stop-loss. You always want to wait a bit longer, but the more you wait, the deeper you fall. --- Dividing the principal into batches for withdrawal is a brilliant move; it really helps keep your mindset stable. --- Frequent trading is just paying tuition fees. Once you understand this, you can survive. --- I just want to ask, what exactly counts as a "clear exit rule"? Be more specific. --- It sounds reasonable, but the market always does the opposite. Who can guarantee their judgment won't be wrong? --- I also experienced full-positioning in new coins once, and I still get scared when I think about it. Staying with BTC is safer.
