#数字货币市场回升 Monitoring the market for 8 years | Those moments that almost made me quit the industry $BTC $SOL $ETH

Ling Chen stared at the account number to zero, and his hands were shaking. This is my third time out of liquidation. In retrospect, my chest would suddenly tighten.

When I first entered the crypto space, who didn't think they were the chosen one? I saved up 20,000 U and dared to go all in on a scam coin. During the day, I was so excited seeing others' screenshots of becoming rich that I couldn't sleep, and at night I couldn't sleep even more from being hit by the market crash. The first liquidation came unexpectedly - my stop-loss line had long been reached, yet I was still self-hypnotizing, thinking "it will bounce back soon." In the end, I could only watch my position get forcibly liquidated, sitting in my tiny rented room, gnawing on cold bread, with tears falling into the bread crumbs.

After that, I started to grind on the technical aspects. I stayed up until the early hours of the morning studying candlestick charts, taking meticulous notes, thinking that mastering support and resistance levels would guarantee my success. But what happened? I fell into the pit of human nature again.

Once, BTC had a floating profit of three thousand dollars, and my friend advised me to take the profit. I stubbornly refused to listen. I leveraged my position, thinking "I'll just take one last gamble and then stop"—how many times have I said that? The market suddenly reversed, not only did I lose all my profits, but I also lost five thousand. That night, I uninstalled all the apps and vowed never to touch the crypto space again. But after two days of calm, I couldn't accept it: if others can make money, why can't I?

The most tormenting days were those spent exploring alone. When the market fluctuated wildly, there was no one to consult; after losing money, I didn't dare to tell my family and could only collapse under the covers, then get up the next day and force myself to keep studying the charts. There was a period where I couldn't sleep for a week straight, and my health check report was filled with red flags, with the doctor warning that my body was about to break down. It was at that moment that I suddenly realized: the crypto world is not a place for relentless struggle; surviving is the only way to have a chance to turn things around.

Now I can finally make a stable profit. Looking back at those nights of liquidation and the tangled decisions, it wasn't the market targeting me; it was clearly punishing my greed, luck, and obsession.

Every time I see newcomers frantically chasing prices up and down, it's like seeing my former self. I especially want to say: Don't rush, take your time. This market doesn't have a shortcut to success; you have to endure the trials of human nature and withstand market fluctuations to wait for your opportunity.
