On that day in early January, I was still bragging in the group chat.
At that time, BTC had just crossed $90000, and the market was filled with the smell of a 'bull market'.
Some people say that institutions are attracting funds, some say that the country may use BTC as a strategic reserve, and some are already calculating the target price for 2026.
At that moment, if you were to pose, you would feel
The trend is already dead, there is only one direction for the future: upward.
The market never cares what you believe.
In mid January, BTC briefly returned to around 95000, ETH surged to over 3k, ETF funds flowed back, and institutional stories were flying.
But soon, the plot began to reverse.
What does the market teach you about "appearance"
In early February, the market suddenly changed.
BTC fell below 80000, and even reached around 69000 at one point;
ETH dropped nearly 30% in seven days, and leveraged long positions were liquidated for nearly $2 billion.
The entire market value dropped by over 5% in 24 hours,
Out of the top 100 coins, 64 are falling.
If you make a scene, three movies will automatically play in your mind:
Part 1: The Bull Market Has Ended
Part 2: 'I'm Done'
Part 3: Why I Always Buy at High Points
But later on, I suddenly realized something:
Market conditions are just market conditions.
What breaks is the price, not the concept.
At the moment when he began to "lose face"
I stared at the candlestick and suddenly felt a little amused.
Because I found that the market hasn't changed at all:
Someone is panicking and selling
Someone is continuously buying
Someone is waiting for macro level implementation
Someone is betting on regulatory results
Even large funds are slowly picking up chips at low levels.
for example
Institutions continue to buy BTC
USDT users are still growing
The entire market is actually just entering a stage of compression and oscillation
The market is not losing direction, it is time being compressed.
At that moment, I suddenly understood:
The market itself has no emotions, emotions are added by myself.
Player perspective activation
I started treating this market trend as a game level.
I used to be like this:
Falling → Emotion → Judgment → Operation
Now it has become:
Falling → Observing → Recording → Waiting for Signal
for example
ETH plummets
It's not 'finished'
But rather:
→ Who was liquidated
How does the leverage structure change
Where will the funds go
Have you taken over the spot goods
At this point, the market suddenly became very 'fun'.
Like a super complex strategy game.
True enlightenment
Later on, I came to understand one thing:
The most painful people in the cryptocurrency industry are not those who lose money.
He is the one who judges every candlestick as fate.
Because once they make a move:
Rise → Do you think you're a genius
Falling → Do you feel like your life is over
But the market is not evaluating you at all.
The market is just a super complex probability machine.
What does the cryptocurrency market look like after losing face?
Like an amusement park.
Bull market → roller coaster
Shake → Escape Room
Bear Market → Survival Mode
You play seriously, but don't tie yourself to it.
You will start to see many things that you couldn't see before:
A sharp decline ≠ the end of the world
Vibration ≠ No chance
Cold market ≠ No money to make
instead:
The most challenging discipline in a volatile market
Emotionally low is the easiest to have big opportunities
When no one is talking, it's the real time to plan
Suddenly thought of a sentence:
When I was a child, I could play in puddles all afternoon on rainy days.
If the candlestick drops by 3% now, it feels like life is lost.
It's not that the world has changed.
We have started taking photos.
Now every day when I look at the market, I say to myself:
Don't make a fool of yourself.
Just take a look at this game, how to play it next.
Then you will discover something very magical:
When you no longer cling to "ups and downs," "right and wrong," and "winning and losing.
On the contrary, the cryptocurrency industry has become very fun.
