Recently, this market cycle has validated a fundamental trading rule: identifying the trend is just the entry ticket; the real profit logic is quite simple—hold onto the swings and let go of greed.



Many people around me are still struggling, afraid of missing out and afraid of getting trapped. But think about it, there are opportunities every day in the market, so why chase the first wave of gains? In fact, traders who plan ahead and can steadily maintain the rhythm ultimately find peace of mind.

In the survival rules of the crypto world, there's a hurdle: most people die from "being unable to judge correctly," while a few die from "judging correctly but unable to hold." The former is a skill issue; the latter is actually a psychological issue. Greed often begins to erode profits as soon as you make your first gain.

So this is worth reflecting on—In such a volatile market with sharp rises and falls, is it more profitable to hold steadily onto a clear trend, or to chase every quick rebound? Many think they want speed, but what they truly lack is certainty.

Identify a clear market direction, avoid chasing highs, avoid bottom fishing, and don't frequently cut positions. Instead, this "stability" ultimately brings real growth to your account. Trading should be like this—replace uncertain greed with a strategy of certainty.

That's right, but I think it's easier to talk about holding onto it than actually doing it... Especially when you see others happily bottom-fishing.

According to on-chain data, the wallets that frequently buy the dip and chase highs during this market cycle indeed show abnormal trading patterns—each rebound is met with liquidation, and the fund flow is particularly chaotic, a typical footprint of psychological loss of control trading. In contrast, those wallets that hold steadily exhibit very regular behavior; once they lock in on a target direction, they basically do not move. Interestingly, tracking multiple addresses reveals that the group with the most stable account growth actually has the fewest transactions. Clearly, this is on-chain proof of a deterministic strategy. I had long suspected that this round of shakeouts would eliminate those retail investors who cannot resist temptation—their wallet transactions are so frequent they resemble coin washing.

That's true, but I'm just afraid that too many people know about it, while too few actually take action. That's probably the dividing line between making money and losing money.

That's right, the hardest part is the mindset. I used to be the kind of person who was sure about something but just couldn't hold on, always cutting myself at the most critical moments.

That's right, it's all about the difference in mindset. I've recently experienced this myself; I used to think I could catch every wave, but ended up repeatedly taking losses... Now, holding steadily has actually earned more, which is a bit ironic, isn't it?

That's right, not holding is the biggest enemy. I’m the one who always runs when I see the opportunity. --- Really, greed can wipe out a month’s profit in an instant. I understand that too well. --- Every time I think I can hold on to my position, I get hammered repeatedly, exhausting myself. --- The word "certainty" is spot on; it’s more reliable than any technical analysis. --- Hold on, does stable holding mean just keeping it without moving? Or periodically rebalancing? Maybe my question sounds a bit stupid. --- Ah, I’ve already paid too much tuition for the mistake of "not holding," I’ve learned my lesson. --- I agree that not chasing the first wave of gains, but can you really withstand it in practice, especially when others are making quick money? --- So the question is, how to determine if a trend is clear? Do we still rely on intuition? --- Psychological issues are indeed the core; even the best strategy is useless if the mindset isn’t right. --- I’m currently trying to break the habit of frequently cutting positions; it’s too mentally exhausting.
