Market fluctuations are like a journey; there will always be setbacks. Your holdings are under pressure amid volatility, but that's nothing—market shakeouts are precisely a test to filter out those who truly have resolve.

For popular coins like SOL and ETH, the biggest test is never technical analysis but whether you can maintain your faith amid turbulence. Many people fall in the darkness before dawn simply because they couldn't withstand a few days of decline. But if you can stay clear-headed during these critical moments and stick to your trading logic, when the market reverses, the gains will often make you regret why you didn't hold on a bit longer.

Those who are refined through storms are always traders who remain steadfast in their direction despite difficulties. True mastery is tested during these challenging moments.

SOL0,71%

ETH-2,48%

I've seen too many people fall during the darkness before dawn. To put it nicely, how many can truly hold onto their beliefs at critical moments? I've seen a bunch of people shouting "long-term hold," only to cut their losses at a 3% dip. This round of SOL's shakeout was indeed fierce, but what truly tests people is their mentality; all that technical analysis is just虚的.

That's right, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. SOL has dropped to this level, and I really want to cut my losses. Darkness before dawn? Brother, I feel like it's already dawn but it's still falling. Willpower is willpower, but if your wallet is empty, there's nothing you can do. Is the market filtering? No, it's clearing out, okay? Everyone's saying it's all right, but when it comes to holding your position, it's a different story. This round of shakeout has made me question life. Can it really reverse? Haven't held enough? What I regret now is not fully cashing out. Practice, practice, until you become negative.

It sounds good, but who can stay calm when facing a 20% loss? Is this the darkness before dawn? I think it's the night before a cut-loss. Holding onto your conviction depends on how much ammunition you still have in your account. When SOL dropped, I didn't see anyone staying firm; everyone was shouting to cut, cut, cut. Practicing? Better to hone your stop-loss skills—more realistic. It all sounds right, but when it comes to actually doing it, it's a whole different story. Willpower is a good thing, but unfortunately, mine is all spent waiting for a rebound, so I can't even wait anymore.

Alright, alright, it's the same old motivational speech. I just want to ask those who haven't bottomed out, what should they do? It's easy to say it's discipline, but actually it just means they don't have money to add to their position. Darkness before dawn? Why do I feel like this darkness never ends? Holding onto faith is fine, but why not talk about stop-loss points? Enduring until the day of reversal with a broken back, how can you still be happy? While watching others regret not buying more, I also regret why I didn't sell early. In this cycle, everyone is a trading expert, but in the next cycle, they all become newbies again. It's quite interesting. So-called cultivation is solid, but one piece of bad news can turn it all into trash.

That's right, but what I fear the most is that the "darkness before dawn" might turn into eternal night. Aren't you holding more? I'm just thinking about how much I've already cut. As for mental resilience, I still need to keep working on it. When SOL dropped this time, I really couldn't hold on. Wait, is this chicken soup or experience sharing? I'm a bit confused. Darkness before dawn? I just fell asleep and woke up to find it was already daylight. The phrase "anchoring trading logic" really hit me; I especially lack this.
