Last night's wild sweeping pin bar shakeout probably caught many off guard, hitting them left and right.



Longs held until mental breakdown, exiting at the bottom, then vengefully shorting, only to be nailed at the high by a V-shaped rebound. In one night, both longs and shorts lost, and the account shrunk, but more importantly, people completely lost their composure—the more desperate they were to recover losses, the easier they fell into the next trap.

It was no sudden anomaly; it was clearly an emotional harvest exploiting news narrative. Dumping to flush out blood-soaked positions, then pumping to trap short chasers—the manipulators profit from both sides, while retail traders are entirely led by emotion, playing their predetermined roles in the game.

The most important lesson I've learned after all these years in this market: the more chaotic the market and the more rampant the news, the more you must avoid making moves with emotion.

If you're now stuck in a position and feeling uneasy, stop first—don't force a hold or blindly add to the position. The more panicked you are, the more mistakes you'll make, and the harder it becomes to turn back.

A hole from being trapped is never filled by rushing to add positions; lost gains can only be slowly recovered through steady, disciplined rhythm. Rather than blindly pondering and digging yourself deeper, it's better to follow a clear line of thinking. If you want to sort out the next direction, let's take it step by step and get your mentality back on track. $ETH $BTC #GUSD年化升至3.8%
