Tonight I stayed up reviewing until almost dawn, and the more I looked, the more I felt that cutting losses is really like a breakup: you clearly know it's not right, yet you stubbornly hold on, pretending it's "just wait a bit longer," but in reality, you're paying interest and emotional costs every day, and the longer you drag it out, the more it hurts. To put it simply, admitting defeat earlier can free up your mind and position, so when opportunities come later, your hands are clean.
Some people also keep an eye on large on-chain transfers and hot/cold wallets of exchanges, and as soon as there's movement, they say "smart money is coming/going." I also watch, but don’t get too caught up in it. Those signals often just amplify your hesitation: you’re already reluctant to cut. My approach is a bit more straightforward—set rules and stick to them, trigger and exit, then explain later. At least it prevents one mistake from turning into continuous bleeding.
What about you?
