There's a widely circulated saying: The market is always right, and the person wrong is you. Think about it carefully, and you'll see it reveals a harsh truth.
We all want to quickly cash out through frequent trading, but those who make big money are doing the opposite—they stay patient. Major opportunities often come during the days when you decide to do nothing, but that's also when your mindset is tested the most.
Rather than debating the market's direction, it's better to admit one thing: judging the trend correctly isn't difficult; the hard part is holding on through the long and painful drawdowns before the price proves you're right. It's like the market testing your confidence—it will first make you doubt everything, then give you the answer.
What is the truth about a bull market? It's not about daily excitement, but about constantly validating those who are steadfast. In a real market, the biggest enemy is never the price fluctuations, but your own impulse to "make a move." When all signals point in the same direction, the price has just begun.
Just observe the people around you: those losing money are always busy making up stories to explain why they lost, while those making money focus on one thing—whether they are still in the trend. Trading experts seem to do nothing, but in fact, they are using silence to fight against the noise of the market.
If you can't even handle normal floating losses, don't expect to enjoy the fruits of the trend. The market ultimately rewards those who stick to correct judgments, not those who react the fastest.

There's nothing wrong with what you said, but execution is difficult. I find myself repeatedly falling into that "wanting to make a difference" trap, and every time I think this time will be different haha

You're so right. Frequent trading really is a case of itchy hands. Seeing my unrealized losses makes me want to rebalance, but I always end up selling at the bottom.

That's right, the biggest fear is overthinking. My buddy, who watches the market every day and trades so frequently that it's overwhelming, ended up losing everything and was just making excuses saying the market was wrong. The real money-makers are those who work quietly, hold their positions when needed, and filter out the noise.

That was a harsh statement, but it hit the mark. The real challenge isn't just seeing the right direction; it's being able to withstand the pressure even after seeing it clearly. That's the real secret weapon.

Based on multiple technical indicators stacking up, this wave of correction coincides exactly with the middle band of the Bollinger Bands, and the RSI momentum has not yet returned to the oversold zone. The key is that many people jump ship at the gravity resistance level; in fact, they should continue adding fuel and wait for the launch window to truly open.
