After BTC plummeted, my friend instantly switched from "value investing" to "zen-like self-care"
Last night, the market dropped, and my social circle was particularly interesting.
In the afternoon, they were still shouting:
"BTC will hit 100k by the end of the year!"
By evening, they were already saying:
"Health is the most important thing in life."
I have to say, the crypto world is truly the strongest emotion converter worldwide.
After news of the U.S. military attacking southern Iran came out, BTC directly dropped below $74,500.
The market instantly panicked.
The most absurd thing is:
Many people aren’t afraid of the drop.
They’re scared awake by margin call messages.
Recently, my trading has been very "timid."
I used to like high leverage too.
Thought I was a chosen trader.
Later I realized:
The market loves to teach confident people a lesson.
Especially now, with the current situation.
Technical analysis is increasingly like "weather forecasting."
You just draw a support line;
International news immediately blows it up.
So my current strategy is very simple:
Focus on spot;
Halve leverage;
Never fully load the position.
Because the biggest problem now isn’t "whether it will rebound."
It’s that:
Market sentiment has entered a highly sensitive stage.
As long as there’s a bit of bad news, panic may continue to amplify.
But at the same time,
I don’t think it’s suitable to completely clear out now.
Because there’s a classic rule in crypto:
When everyone starts panicking, a rebound is usually not far off.
So I’m currently in: #24h加密合约清算破4亿美元
"Defending while secretly buying."
Simply put:
Don’t gamble;
But also don’t run away.
Especially around 74,500, I’ve already started slowly accumulating spot.
Because the kind of plunge caused by geopolitical bad news often recovers very quickly.
But the key point is always one:
— Don’t get caught up in it.
Because the most dangerous thing in the market now isn’t the drop.
It’s thinking you can definitely predict the next candle.
