Macro positioning often needs breathing room. The gap between macro thesis and execution can be significant—sometimes uncomfortably long. Short-term price swings create noise that drowns out the bigger picture. Everyone's zoomed in on daily candles and hourly movements, which makes the longer-term conviction look wrong before it even plays out. This is the classic tension: waiting for macro narratives to unfold while getting punished by LTF volatility. Patience in crypto markets isn't just a virtue—it's survival.

Well said, it's true that impatience can lead to quick death. I am the kind of person who is tortured by the daily chart to the point of doubting life; clearly, the macro direction is correct, but the fluctuations on the 4-hour chart leave me scrambling.

Don't panic before the macro narrative breaks; the problem is that people in the crypto circle really can't wait...

That's right, I just can't help but look at the candlestick charts, bro. When the account drops by 10%, I start questioning life.

Macroeconomic positioning indeed needs breathing room, but those without any coins in hand simply can't wait.

I knew it, this statement is so accurate. People who constantly watch the 4h chart can't see the big picture at all, and short-term noise will grind you to death. The macro perspective is correct, it's just that waiting is too painful.

Really, when I look at the 1-hour chart, I feel like all my macro papers are trash.
