$BNB this time left a pretty deep impression on me. Not because of how much it’s gone up, but because retail sentiment and the order book often move in the opposite direction. Earlier, around 552.60, a lot of people watched it and felt it was weak—yet below that level, someone kept absorbing and stepping in.

I also almost got scared out by those few pullbacks. Luckily, I didn’t cut it too hastily. As the price slowly climbed to 570.25, this position showed +225.5%, and that’s when I realized the truly difficult part isn’t just calling the rise—it’s not getting washed out before the move even starts.

Plainly speaking, what’s most tormenting in futures is exactly this: when you’re losing, you want to hold on; when you’re winning, you can’t seem to hold it. These days, I’d rather first protect my cost basis—then whatever upside I can get, I’ll just take it.

Chasing a new order after getting washed out—that kind of discomfort is something I’ve suffered from way too many times before.
