Whenever there is a slight profit in Contract 1, you want to run; when the market fluctuates slightly, you panic—this is a common dilemma for beginners. Many people complain: "It's not that I can't make money, but as soon as the market moves, I get anxious and can't hold my positions."

Actually, the root of this problem isn't technical; it's a lack of understanding of the essence of market competition.

A seasoned trader once said something that enlightened me: "The least desired thing for the main force is for you to exit early in their plan." This means that you always exit at the most critical moments, just in time to avoid the subsequent rally—this is no coincidence.

After observing the market for a long time, you'll notice a pattern:

**The most violent declines often occur when market sentiment is most panicked.** During this phase, indecisive holders are shaken out, and chips change hands in panic.

**Long-term sideways movement may seem boring, but in reality, it's the main force quietly accumulating at low levels.** Most people, on the other hand, cut their losses and exit in despair.

**The moment the market starts to move is often when public sentiment is reignited.** If you've already exited at this point, you'll only be able to watch the missed gains.

Once you change your mindset, the rhythm truly changes. When the market is in panic, you can stay calm; when others hesitate, you cautiously position yourself. By the time the public starts chasing the rally, your positions are already relatively stable.

People who have been in the crypto space for a long time are not necessarily using complicated indicators, but are the ones who understood the rules of this game earliest. Every market fluctuation tests you—this part of the profit, can you really hold it?
