At three in the morning, my phone vibrated again—notifications said that SOL showed significant pullback signals, with a long order target of 138. I stared at the 1-hour Candlestick Chart, watching those fierce gaps. Someone in the group was already showing their high-leverage contract orders, captioned "Let’s win together." You know that feeling, right? FOMO mixed with adrenaline, the air became restless.

But my finger ultimately didn't press down.

This time last year came to mind—"a perfect opportunity" just like before, I rushed in following the signals. As a result, there was a reverse pin, and the contract account was instantly wiped out. That sense of helplessness still makes my heart skip a beat when I think about it now.

So this time I made a different choice. I turned off the trading software and converted part of this week's profits into stablecoins. Looking at those assets in my wallet that remained unchanged in value, I slowly relaxed.

Do you find this boring? Compared to the thrill of chasing the next "138", stablecoins really have no imagination space. But that is precisely where their value lies.

I am starting to understand: those "major pullbacks".

SOL-1.36%

It was only at the moment of zeroing out that I realized being alive is more important than making money.

I also experienced the zeroing incident, really. Now, whenever I see those screenshots in the group, I have a conditioned reflex to remember it.

Really, I was also scared during the zeroing, now when I see "great opportunity" I reflexively want to close the software. To be honest, stablecoins are boring but staying alive is the way to go, much better than getting liquidated in a daze. How are those guys in the group showing their orders doing now? Are they brave enough to answer? I still have to admit that I'm not good enough, stop always thinking about a big turnaround. FOMO is really poison, isn't it better to just stay alive without checking the market in the early morning?

Well... watching my friends in the group show off their trades makes me itchy. But after getting liquidated that time, it's enough; I prefer to be steady now. --- 138? Forget it, I stopped believing in signals a long time ago. --- I get it, it's that kind of fear of missing out (FOMO)... but after losing money, stablecoins are so appealing. --- Haha, as boring as it is, as long as my account is still here, I've won. I also got liquidated during last year's surge. --- That moment of the long wick candle was truly despairing... Now when I see "win together" in the group, I just watch along. --- To be honest, compared to betting on 138, I now enjoy the feeling of being able to sleep through the night more. --- The U in my Wallet really doesn't have much to see, but my mindset is calm, and that's enough.

actually, statistically speaking... the probability of hitting exactly 138 after a gap like that? historically around 12-15% success rate given SOL's volatility patterns. most people don't account for slippage on the fill anyway. but yeah, stablecoin boring = capital preservation, which is... theoretically the optimal scenario most retail traders refuse to calculate

Almost got played for suckers again, but thankfully I didn't act impulsively. Last year's lesson was really harsh; I also experienced that time when everything went to zero... Now looking at stablecoins feels a bit appealing.
