Yesterday, I chased the MO project, entering with a 500K position. It dropped all the way down to 150K before I couldn't hold on and cut my losses. The main reason was that I never clarified the naming issues between MO and LUMO. Plus, I had previously looked at projects like Palu and Bibi, which didn't perform very well, so my psychological expectations were affected. But unexpectedly, today it shot up from the bottom, breaking through 1M.

Reflecting on this, the core driver of this rebound actually comes from the overall market sentiment. A major exchange's project surge boosted the entire market's bullish enthusiasm. During such times, liquidity is abundant, and the profit-taking effect is obvious. As long as the project's narrative isn't too far-fetched and the fundamentals aren't obviously fake, most can follow the trend upward. When the market is good, the weight of choosing projects is often less than the weight of timing—grasping this window accurately is more critical than carefully selecting individual projects.

It’s broken on the floor, that’s what happens when you don’t follow the rhythm.

Ha, this is a typical case of chasing highs and killing lows. Getting cut at the bottom is indeed true. The rhythm is off, and the emotions are also off, so you have to suffer the loss. MO this time is a bloody lesson. Market sentiment really, sometimes is more valuable than fundamentals.

Once again, it's the story of cutting at the bottom. What I hate most is --- Market sentiment > the project itself. This saying is not wrong, but knowing and doing are two different things. --- Timing weight is more important than choice weight. I've heard this theory before, but the question is who can accurately catch the timing. --- I also got caught in the LUMO wave; who can tolerate such confusing names? --- Cutting losses at the bottom is the hardest. Now that it has risen, how do you feel? --- Liquidity abundance is indeed a window for making money, but most people only realize it after the price has gone up. --- Projects like Palu and Bibi that crash really hit the mentality. No wonder they couldn't hold on at MO. --- In the end, it's still about mental preparation. I've seen only a few who can truly ride this rebound.

Another story of a rebound after a loss, my mental state has completely collapsed.

Once again, when you can't see clearly, you run; when you run, it rises. This is how the market repeatedly teaches us [laugh-cry]. --- Hey, this wave is actually just an emotional cycle. Choosing the wrong rhythm is more costly than choosing the wrong project. --- The hardest part of a bottom rebound is faith. Those who can hold on will make a fortune... --- That's right, when liquidity is abundant, everything can rise. The key is to stay alive to see that moment. --- It sounds right, but when the time comes, everyone's psychological defenses will still collapse. It's the same for everyone. --- MO's rise this time was truly incredible, but unfortunately, I already took profits. That's the price to pay. --- When market sentiment is good, just follow the surge. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult... --- So, grasping the rhythm is more profitable than researching projects. I should have understood this principle long ago. --- Learned again, next time you encounter a bottom, you must hold back. No matter how hard it is, wait for the wind to come. --- Rebirth through Nirvana, brother. The next opportunity is just waiting for us.
