These days, the “Staking Unlock / Token Unlock Calendar” has been flooding the feeds again. Whenever someone brings up selling pressure in the group, I instinctively go check the candlestick chart. The result is often that I get more anxious after looking, and then keep cutting positions back and forth with the trending topics—though the trading fees are reliably racking up… In short, your attention is being led around.

My current clumsy method is this: first figure out the “structure,” and then look at the “emotion.” For example, what exactly does a project rely on to survive—has the cash flow, user base, or niche/position in the ecosystem changed? Is the unlock just a matter of timing, or is the narrative about to fall apart? If everyone is just afraid together, then I treat it as noise—at most, I write it into my own chart notes: liquidity will thin out during this period, so don’t get itchy.

What I’ve learned isn’t a technique; it’s how to manage attention like an asset. Otherwise, you’ll always be living by someone else’s calendar.
