Interestingly, a major trader in a certain wave segment continuously accumulated WETH from late November last year to mid-January this year, with an average price of $3085, buying a total of 9043 tokens. At the peak, the unrealized profit on paper approached $2.87 million. Looks good, right? But recently, faced with downward pressure, this trader only held on until 12 hours ago before selling 3000 tokens—unfortunately, by then the market had already retraced significantly, and he finally pocketed only $30,000 in profit. Even more heartbreaking, he still has 4089.83 WETH remaining, which is now in a deep unrealized loss of $472,000. This is the reality of swing trading—seemingly precise entry points can't escape market unpredictability.

Oh man, this guy is just greedy. He won't take the 2.87 million and instead waits for the ship to capsize. I did the same back in the day, and ended up losing all my pants. Trading in waves, to put it simply, is gambling on human nature. In the end, the market always wins when your psychological defenses collapse.

A unrealized profit of 2.87 million USD was forcibly pocketed as only 30,000 USD, how shattered must this mindset be?

2.87 million unrealized profit directly shrank to 30,000, it's really incredible... This is exactly why I never dare to go all-in for swing trading; my mindset has collapsed.

Oh man, that's why I never chase the high... 2.87 million in unrealized gains, but I only took out 30,000. That's incredible.

Wow... Only 30,000 out of 2.87 million in unrealized gains, this is just outrageous.

This guy, 2.87 million in hand, only gets 30,000... It hurts to watch. This is a typical case of "Mainland ups and downs." The fate of swings is like this—buy at the right point but can't catch the sell point.

$2.87 million in unrealized gains was forcibly turned into a $470,000 loss. How shattered must one's mindset be? Haha

This guy really, turned a $2.87 million unrealized profit into just $30,000 in profit, with over 4,000 coins still stuck in the pit... This is the consequence of greed.
