During a weekend walk in the park, I saw a group of children playing on a seesaw. One little boy in a red shirt was especially anxious, always trying to flip the person on the opposite end to the highest point in one go. But every time he used too much force, he would slam down on his side, bouncing back and forth and making it impossible to play smoothly.



After standing there for a while, I realized—playing the seesaw steadily depends not on who uses more force, but on finding the right rhythm of cooperation. You press down, I lift up, back and forth—that's how it can continue smoothly.

The same principle applies to trading. The more eager you are to turn the tide in one move, the more likely you are to get slapped by the market. I’ve had a few trades where, as soon as I saw a loss, I wanted to recover immediately. But instead, my position got heavier and the losses became more definite. Market fluctuations are like a seesaw—they never stop, but we can choose to participate with lighter force.

Take $EVAA as an example. The current situation is like this—1-hour RSI is still high at (62.11), and the 4-hour RSI has even entered the overbought zone at (73.49), with a potential MACD dead cross forming. The most wise choice at this point is actually to hit the brakes and wait.

You can watch the 1.18-1.20 range. If the price pulls back to this level and stabilizes, try a small long position. Conversely, if it breaks through 1.30 directly, then keep waiting—wait for it to pull back and confirm. Don’t rush to act; first see where the market wants to go.

Sometimes, doing nothing is the smartest move.

Haha, the little boy in the red shirt is me. I always want to go all-in, but I end up getting wrecked even worse.

nah the seesaw analogy hits different... seen too many miners rekt trying to force hashrate gains instead of letting network difficulty adjust naturally. patience > aggression, always has been.

That scene with the Little Red Boy was amazing, it totally reflects me last week haha. Chasing highs and getting crushed really hurts.

The Little Red Boy is me. I always want to go all-in, but I get slapped in the face. This wave of EVAA definitely needs to wait.
