#ETH走势分析 Mental Traps in the Crypto Market: The Dilemmas Traders Face Through the Lens of ETH Price Action

When the market rises slowly, you want to set up short positions. But after a small dip, you get scared and close out, only for prices to creep up again. Fearing your long position might get liquidated, you hastily exit again—then a big green candle appears, making you look foolish in front of everyone. By the time you react and try to chase the long, you get hit with a big red candle as soon as you enter.

Is this really just normal consolidation?

Don't be naive. This is a classic case of market makers controlling the rhythm—tricking you into entering, then coaxing you out, leaving you battered on both ends. Repeated wash trading, back-and-forth moves, and manufactured panic are all designed to wear you down between long and short positions.

ETH and other major coins are especially prone to this. The overall trend is bullish, but instead of a straightforward rise, you’re faced with countless bull and bear traps meant to shake you out of your position. Holding longs is agonizing, holding shorts is uncomfortable—both sides are traps.

So what's the key? Keep your composure and stick to your rhythm. Don’t chase highs, don’t blindly short, and don’t add to your position recklessly. Hold your chips firmly and let time and the trend work for you. The messier the market, the calmer you need to be. That’s the real way to profit.
