The advantage of focusing on the BSC chain is that the rhythm is particularly comfortable. The general process is like this—first check if there are any new coins with a market cap in the M range. Once there is any sign of movement, immediately withdraw, find a place to hide and wait, then re-enter when the official actions are significant. Then it’s a matter of patience and tough decision-making to cut losses, until you can’t hold on anymore and make a move at a high point. After that, enjoy a break in real life, and then repeat the cycle after some time.

It sounds perfect, but here’s the problem—if the timing of the pullback isn’t precise enough, it’s very easy to miss that crucial opportunity. Once you really miss the big trend, small gains no longer feel significant. I’ve fallen into this trap this time, watching the mainline coins soar while I failed to keep up.

This is a vicious cycle. No matter how perfect your timing is, you can't escape the curse of "market timing." You promised to stay patient and wait for a big move, but as soon as you hesitate, you jump in. Can you really avoid missing out? You're especially ruthless when cutting losses, but when prices rise, you become overly cautious. Honestly, I haven't figured out what exactly constitutes a good entry point. Watching others make gains while you're just sipping soup is truly torturous. It's really just greed and fear pulling back and forth. No one can perfectly avoid it. Instead of stressing over missed opportunities, it's better to think about how not to make the same mistakes in the next wave.

That hits too close to home, this is exactly how I've been lately... Timing is truly an art. The feeling after missing a big market move—everything looks dull and tasteless, a bitter smile. Hiding away is one thing, but I'm just afraid of waking up half a beat too late. Hopefully I've learned my lesson this time haha... I'll try again next time.

That hits too close to home. I also fell for it this way. Timing really is a mysterious art.

That really hits home. I also missed out perfectly this time. Staying in hiding for too long has made me an outsider. Adjusting this mindset is even harder than making money. Watching others take off is truly amazing. Timing is easy to say but also hard to do. I feel like I just need a time machine. Rather than waiting for a big move, it's better to hold on tightly. After all, I've missed so many opportunities anyway.

Oh no, this is exactly how I've been lately. Missing out really hurts. That's so true, if you can't keep the rhythm, you'll suffer losses. I feel the same. The waiting is really torturous, one misstep and you miss the boat. This wave definitely didn't catch the main trend. Watching others take off while I have to stay in hibernation. It feels like grasping the big market trend is even harder than controlling the drawdown.

That really hits home. Timing is really just about gambling on probabilities. If you miss once, you might never get that feeling back again.

It's the same old routine again, easier said than done bro. Wait, after cutting losses at the top, you can still enjoy gains? How come I always end up losing big. It's mainly about timing being pure witchcraft, I often miss the boat too. Watching others feast while I'm left with scraps is rough.
