Looking back, investors who firmly hold mainstream assets like Ethereum, WLFI, and others indeed have their own logic. In contrast, many people would rather chase after marketing accounts that boast daily hype than take a glance at traders who build positions with real money.

When the market is active, many expect that a gap on the weekend will be filled. However, the actual logic of a bull market often isn't like that—genuine upward trends don't get caught up in short-term gap filling. Instead, the market, driven by participants' FOMO mentality, completes a new round of capital exchange at higher price points. The anxiety of missing early opportunities ultimately turns into buying pressure when chasing the high.

ETH-1,13%

WLFI0,76%

That hit too close to home. I'm the fool who would rather listen to marketing hype than look at traders' positions... Now I'm broke and have no underwear left. That moment of chasing the high was truly driven by FOMO. I felt like if I didn't get in, I would miss a hundredfold opportunity. Now I finally understand what it means to be a bagholder. I should have gone all in on ETH long ago, instead of chasing some potential new star. When the breakdown happened, my mentality was completely shattered. This time I finally understand. Next time for sure... Ah, forget it. It'll probably be the same next time. Is it really so hard to stay calm and hold during the bottoming phase? Why can't I do it?

Early adopters really made a killing, and we're still here stressing over the gap... There's nothing we can do, it's just that our mindset hasn't adjusted yet. Let's wait for the next wave. The buying pressure chasing the high is exactly us, haha, bitter smile. The faith is still there, but the wallet has first started to falter. Watching others sleep soundly with full positions, while I watch the market every day—truly a form of cultivation. Bull markets never wait for anyone, that hits too close to home. Forget it, rebirth starts with admitting mistakes. Actually, I knew all along to buy the dip, but I just ran out of bullets.

Early investors have all made a fortune, while those chasing the high are still dreaming.

Had I known earlier, I should have listened to the veteran holder. Now I'm still chasing the highs. --- FOMO is truly a demon of the heart, really. --- Some people just love to listen to marketing accounts brag, without even checking if they will really take action. --- Filling the gaps in a bull market? Dream on. Breaking through and rushing upward is the norm. --- The group of people who firmly hold their positions have indeed made a lot of money. I’m still struggling with when to bottom fish. --- The anxiety of missing the early stage ultimately turns into chasing high purchases. This statement is harsh. --- Therefore, a trader’s accumulation record is more valuable than the mouth of a marketing account. --- Those who want to fill the gaps are probably newbies who haven't experienced a real bull market.

Those who chase the high are the ones who missed the early batch. To put it simply, it's anxiety that gives the big players a chance to take over, haha.

I've seen through it long ago. People who chase marketing accounts every day deserve to be cut off; those who truly make money have already jumped on board.

I've already said it, it's better to follow those who are actually building positions than marketing accounts. Now you understand, right? Those who chase highs are all driven by FOMO; there's nothing you can do about it. Holding ETH long-term, everything else is gambling. The gap theory is just a joke in a bull market... real money is waiting for you at higher levels. If you miss it, you miss it. Don't try to be clever by filling the gap yourself.

I've said it before, those who chase after marketing accounts deserve to be cut. Things like Bitcoin and Ethereum should be held long-term; otherwise, what's the point of playing? Once again, someone is going to chase the high and take the bait. Poor them. FOMO is real, it happens every time. It's really frustrating to see others making money, but why are there always so few people when it’s time to buy the dip?

Early investors indeed won, but to be honest, too many people prefer to listen to marketing accounts' nonsense rather than study fundamentals. LOL Wait for the gap to be filled? Bro, your idea is outdated. The bull market doesn't follow the usual rules at all. FOMO has done good things; so many people got liquidated just like that. Really, those who hold firmly are actually the most comfortable, while us frequent traders are exhausted. Honestly, chasing high buy orders are just the tears of those who missed out.
