I knew it, this wave of the market is really outrageous. At first, I didn't buy in, and I wasn't too concerned about it, but then I still ended up investing in the coin called Life K-line. I thought this time it should be right, right? As soon as I got out, the price shot up straight away. That moment... I really felt a bit desperate.

This kind of situation is actually quite common in the crypto market—there are always a few coins that are dead when you're holding them, but once you cut your losses and leave, they start to go crazy. Some say this is the market punishing retail investors, and I’m starting to believe it.

The most heartbreaking part is, this isn’t something that advanced technical analysis can predict. It’s purely a psychological game—if you get anxious, it won’t, but if you stay calm, it will become restless. That’s why some people can profit steadily in the crypto market, while most always chase high and cut low. Either they’re lucky, or their mindset is truly strong.

Haha, this is ridiculous. This is the daily life in the crypto world. I experience it every day. Sell and it goes up, hold and it goes down, it's like being manipulated by the market. Mindset... to put it simply, it's just gambling with luck. Everyone is the same.

I'll just say it, this mindset game is really incredible. When I cut at the bottom, I was completely numb.

It hit the lowest point, and the surge happened right after I left. This is crypto.

Cut and run, that's the daily routine in the crypto world... You really need to have a tough mindset.

It's the same old story. I have to say, that moment of cutting losses was truly despairing.

Ouch, that's me right there. When I cut my losses, I really felt like smashing my phone. Getting back to breakeven seems nowhere in sight at this point.

It's the same pattern again. I mentioned earlier that according to my quantitative model, this type of coin inherently exhibits typical high volatility characteristics. From a technical perspective, it's entirely a weak rebound trend.

I really wanted to smash my phone at the moment of cutting losses—that's my daily routine.

This is a classic case of poor position management discipline. It's not a problem with the coin itself, but a failure in trade execution. I also suffered from this early on, and only later realized — the market is always testing your bottom line. Once you lose your composure, you've already lost. The key is to set proper stop-loss and target levels, and to exit when needed. Don't gamble on whether it will rebound; that's roulette, not trading.
