The overall market trend is always rhythmic. Don't forget, every reaction you have could be the next move for the other side. Think carefully before acting.

That's true. Don't take the bait, especially when you've already bitten, you need to spit it out quickly. Dragging it out will only get you hooked tightly, making it hard to escape. Market experts have mastered the retail investors' psychological rhythm—impulsive, greedy, fearful—to repeatedly make profits.

That's right, this round is indeed a psychological battle. Getting anxious means losing.

Damn, that's why I get cut every time. I should have realized long ago that I am that fish.

Once the risk control threshold is broken, a chain of liquidations is not far off, and this rhythm is spot on. --- Retail investors are ultimately destroyed by these three words—greed, fear, and impatience. If one doesn't stick to the liquidation price, they jump in. --- The domino effect—one triggers the whole market to liquidate, and systemic risk is so easy to understand, so why do some still go all-in? --- When the borrowing rate soars, volatility begins to eat people. Psychological defenses are more likely to break than technical analysis. --- Deleveraging really gets worse the later you do it. Once you're trapped, you need to face reality. --- Market rhythm, in essence, is testing your risk control bottom line. Once that line loosens, you're just waiting to be eaten. --- That's why healthy factors are important—not to make more money, but to survive and see the next wave.

You are right, but when it comes to action, the mind just doesn't work well. --- The words "greed" and "fear" hit many people's hearts, huh. --- Think carefully before acting, it's easier said than done. --- Already hooked but still hesitating, that's the most annoying part. --- Experts fall for this trick every time, always get fooled. --- The rhythm is something you have to control yourself. --- Don't delay, cutting losses in time is the way to go. --- If retail investors' psychology is understood, how can they still win? --- Thinking clearly first is correct, but the market doesn't give you time to think.

Hmm, it's the same psychological warfare rhetoric again. It's true but gets old to hear. The real ruthless part is knowing the rules yet still getting cut.
