Stop-loss really is a bit like a breakup, dragging it out without clarifying, the pain only worsens the longer you wait, and you also pay "interest"—attention, emotions, opportunity costs are all burning. Recently, looking at market breadth rather than candlestick charts helps me stay calm: yes, it’s going up, but how many coins are actually rising, and is the correlation starting to group together again? It’s easy to tell at a glance whether I’m just toughing it out.

The past couple of days in the group have also been quite interesting, watching ETF fund flows on one hand, and interpreting the risk appetite of the US stock market alongside crypto price movements on the other, it feels like everyone is trying to find a "reasonable explanation" to comfort themselves. Honestly, no matter how many reasons there are, they can’t hide the discomfort of losing on positions… I now prefer to admit mistakes and walk away, saving some ammunition, because next time I might not get it right either, but at least I won’t be drained by a bad relationship for too long.
