The Most Common Cognitive Pitfalls for Ordinary People

1. Pitfall 1: The market will always come back, and holding on will get you out of a losing position
Holding on to a losing position in futures trading is a major taboo. Wicks and extreme one-sided moves are common in crypto markets. If you don’t wait for a rebound, you can be liquidated directly, losing your entire principal—there is no such thing as “playing dead and waiting to break even.”

2. Pitfall 2: The higher the leverage, the faster you make money
Leverage only magnifies profits and losses; it does not increase your win rate.

Technically, the weekly chart closed bullish and broke out of the range-bound downtrend, with the bullish trend in control and upward momentum. After the strong short-term rally, a pullback is likely, but the correction should be weak and limited in scope, representing a pause in the uptrend rather than a reversal. Overall, the market is shifting toward a bullish trend.
Continue to follow the bullish rhythm. Prioritize opening long positions after the price pulls back to key support and stabilizes, manage risk based on support, and hold through the upward swing.

Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade is scheduled to go live on the Sepolia testnet on October 6, while the mainnet is still targeted for the fourth quarter, with no confirmed date.
The testnet is taking the first step, indicating that the upgrade has entered the verification phase. The lack of a set mainnet date shows that the development team is waiting for test results rather than proceeding according to a calendar.
For everyday users, whether the upgrade goes live will not change much in the short term. What is worth watching is who prepares in advance and who scrambles to catch up on the day th

$BR Today’s move is like that bakery downstairs that normally has no line suddenly having a 300-meter queue outside—not because the bread got tastier, but because someone shouted, “Half price on the last day.”
The current price is 1.1222, up 39% in 24 hours, surging from a low of 0.78 to a high of 1.24, with 400 million in trading volume. What does that mean? It’s like this bakery selling in one day what it normally sells in a month. With turnover this intense, it’s not retail investors buying—it’s someone scrambling to build a position.

Trade Plan:

SL: 0.09581
TP1: 0.07250
TP2: 0.06585

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range, but the 1h price is pinned at 0.08249 and the 15m RSI sits at 46.78, hinting at exhaustion rather than a fresh leg down. The 1h ATR of 0.005548 shows volatility is compressed, which often precedes a sharp directional move when range breaks. With entry_ref at 0.08249, the setup targets TP1 at 0.07250 and TP2 at 0.06585, but the real line in the sand is the invalidat

0.096 That batch of blood-soaked positions was just licked clean by the damn market maker, while the shorts are still stacking bodies at the 0.1 mark 😏 The current price is pressed right against resistance, sharpening its blade; a breakout means a stampede-style short squeeze, and only pussies wait for a pullback. The paper-thin 0.1 level will explode the moment it is pierced—if you can’t keep up, you’ll be slapping your thigh in regret 🚀

Up 162% in one day, with volume 27.8 times higher: ONE’s bulls have not leveraged up
Good grief, $ONE surged 162% in one day, with volume 27.8 times the 30-day average and nearly 80 million USDT in 24-hour trading volume. But the futures market remains calm: OI is down 10.99% from yesterday’s snapshot, the funding rate is flat at -0.0000667, and the long-short ratio is 0.9654—spot buyers are sweeping in, but leverage has not entered the game.

Bullish in the short term, but don’t chase—1-hour ADX at 68.7 signals a strong trend, while daily RSI at 89.8 is overbought.

This move—I honestly didn’t understand it, but it understood me.

When the screen was filled with green, $LAB lacked sufficient buying support, and volume failed to keep up, so the rebound was hollow. Entered at 0.08529 and watched it fall all the way down.

At 0.05658, +662.56%—it really feels great. Those still on board must have woken up laughing. Take 80% off first, with the remaining +662.20% protected at the cost basis; if it rebounds, don’t give the profits back.

The market specializes in humbling all kinds of people, especially those who think they’re the smartest. The prerequisit
