These past couple of days, the market has been making people a bit nervous, liquidity dried up, and the order book was as thin as paper. Trying to "buy the dip" ended up with a single needle piercing through... Honestly, at times like this, it's better to survive first and then talk about bottom fishing. People outside are explaining crypto price movements using ETF fund flows and U.S. stock risk appetite, which all sounds quite reasonable, but when it comes to placing my own orders, I have to admit: if you're unsure, don’t stubbornly hold on.

Last night, I did something very boring but lifesaving: I divided my target buy prices into several levels, set alerts and limits for each, and didn’t touch the market orders. Once I set everything up, I felt a bit more relaxed, as if I turned off the anxiety of "must do something right now"... Let the market shake however it wants, anyway I first minimized the room for mistakes. Today, seeing that I didn’t get filled wasn’t upsetting; at least I wasn’t being chased by emotions.
