【Watching my account shrink over these days, what was I thinking】
You guys know the feeling when you open your trading app these days.
Last Friday, I stared at the screen for a solid two hours, watching my positions slowly drop. Honestly, there was a moment when I really wanted to clear out what little I had left — cutting losses and cashing out sounds so rational, right?
But I didn’t pull the trigger.
Not because I’m super calm, but because I realized something: the fear index is only at 23 right now, and the overall sentiment is as cold as a winter room in the north with no heating. It’s during times like these that mistakes are most easily made — not in buying, but in selling.
Let me share a lesson I learned the hard way. Back in 2022, during that dip, I watched my account go from floating profits to floating losses, and I panicked and cut my positions. What happened next? When the prices went back up, I was kicking myself for a whole week.
The same logic applies to the tech sector in the US stock market right now. The AI hype hasn’t fully faded, and while chip stocks have some fluctuations, the overall trend hasn’t changed. The Fed might talk tough, but if a hard landing is on the horizon, they’ll be the most anxious of all. Money has to find a home eventually — whether in the stock market or crypto, or a bit of both.
What’s key? Position sizing.
My current strategy is pretty straightforward: control my positions in a single market, not going all in, and keeping some dry powder. The total market cap for crypto is at $2.57 trillion, with Bitcoin holding 57.4% of that. What does this ratio indicate? The market is still quite concentrated, and any slight shift can trigger a ripple effect. Instead of trying to guess where the bottom is, it’s better to steadily accumulate in batches, manage my positions, and wait for signals.
Don’t think I’m being timid. Honestly, surviving in this market is way more important than making quick bucks.
So, how heavy are your positions right now? What markets are you in? #US_MARKET #Web3 #BTC #CryptoDaily
