#TRUMP For cryptocurrencies like LUNA that experience extreme volatility, after experiencing significant gains or losses, I’ve developed a habit — I must stay out of the market and forcibly stop trading.
This isn’t about being lazy. The key is that during those moments, emotional waves are at their fiercest. When your mind is hot and your fingers start flying, the result is often a series of loss-making decisions. Over the years, I’ve discovered a pattern: after a major fluctuation, as long as I force myself to step away from the market for a day or two, I come back with a much higher accuracy rate when making decisions. Sometimes the difference is astonishing. What do I do during this break? Review and reflect. You need to ask yourself — was that recent profit due to a solid strategy, or just luck? Where did the losses originate — was it a problem with the trading system, or did my mindset collapse? Many people are focused on predicting the next market move, but understanding your true skill level is actually more important. The time out of the market is a process of self-reflection. Only after the emotional waves subside can you see the real stones beneath the water. So don’t make trading decisions when you’re overly excited or in despair. Take a moment to cool down; calmer judgment is often more reliable. There are many opportunities for rebounds in the crypto market, so don’t fear missing out — instead, fear jumping in at the worst times.
