#我的Gate交易时刻
On June 5, 2026, Bitcoin fell to $59,743 intraday, the lowest level since October 2024.
That afternoon, I was watching the candlestick chart on Gate, and my account still held the long position I had built around 67k. The past few days had already been unbearable—on June 3 alone, the entire market liquidated more than $1.76 billion, and 270,000 traders were forced out. The Fear and Greed Index plunged straight into the extreme fear range. Social media was full of headlines like “bear market confirmed.”
The most devastating moment came on the evening of June 5. In the minutes when BTC broke through the 60,000 integer level, I had almost put my hand on the close button. Over the past half year, it had dropped from 126k, a decline of more than 52%. Every rebound turned out to be bait for longs, and every position felt like I was fighting the market.
But that day, I didn’t close.
Not because I was brave, but because I forced myself to do three things: First, I opened on-chain data to check ETF fund flows—although they were still flowing out, the outflow speed was slowing; second, I looked at the post-halving supply-and-demand structure—the block rewards continued to shrink, and the deflationary fundamentals didn’t change; third, I asked myself a question: “If I close now and BTC falls to 65k again, would I dare to buy back?” The answer was no.
So I set a stop loss at 56k, then closed the app and went to sleep.
In the next few days, BTC rebounded from 59.7k to 63k, then surged to 66k. On June 14, the US and Iran reached a temporary agreement, the Strait of Hormuz reopened, and BTC broke above $66k. Not only had my position recovered, it also returned a small profit.
What this taught me wasn’t that “just holding on blindly guarantees success”—if it had dropped to 56k, I would still have been stopped out. What it taught me was this: in extreme panic, the only thing worth trusting isn’t your emotions, but the plan you made in advance.
For newcomers, I want to say: during a crash, don’t open group chats, and don’t scroll social media. Open your trading records, open your stop-loss orders, and ask yourself, “Why did I buy in the first place?” If your logic is still intact, execute the plan; if your logic is broken, accept the loss and exit. The hardest part isn’t deciding the direction—it’s being able to carry out your own discipline when everyone else is afraid.
