$RIVER's recent rally is indeed a bit frustrating. At first, the downward trend was obvious, but then it suddenly surged upward. When I chased in, I was full of regret—this is a classic case of being trapped by the market. Looking at the recent movements, the continuous rise has been going on for a while, and if this trend continues, the big players must have already started to unload their positions. Retail investors, on the other hand, are watching the gains while also waiting for the moment of decline. Honestly, this kind of conflicting mindset is the most deadly—fearing missing out on the rally but also afraid of getting crushed. Many are calculating that after such a long rise, there should be a correction, right? But they also worry that reversing their position might lead to being cut. This is why the most challenging aspect of the crypto market isn't the trend itself, but a test of human nature.

Chasing highs really short-circuits the brain, and it's too late to regret now. The big players must have already eaten their fill, and we're still hesitating. This is the feeling of being stabbed in the back by human nature, really damn uncomfortable. The upward trend is so fierce, I feel like I'm about to get cut. My mentality is collapsing, I want to make money but also fear getting trapped, it's tough. I've experienced both missing out and getting cut, choosing either is painful. Repeatedly shorting and getting slapped in the face, this time I might as well just lie flat. RIVER's tactics are pretty slick, I've seen through it now.

The moment I got trapped, I felt truly hopeless. Now I don't even dare to chase the rally. Chasing high just gets me stuck, this is my daily routine. After such a long rise, it feels like it's about to collapse, but I don't dare to short, I'm really exhausted. Honestly, it's all about the gambling mentality—whoever has a better mindset wins. The big players already ran away, and we're still hesitating. It's hilarious.

Hmm, that's right. This is psychological warfare. In the end, everyone dies from hesitation. The moment you chase the high, the outcome is already sealed. I've seen through it long ago. It's been rising for so long and you still haven't sold? Are you working for the big players?

Getting killed for chasing highs, this wave is really a bit desperate. Waiting for a pullback until I go bald, but still can't catch it. The big players probably already ran away, and we're still hesitating. My mentality has collapsed, and technical analysis is useless. Up and down, I can't play this psychological game.

Really, I am truly stunned by RIVER this time. Buying in at high levels and getting caught in a wave of liquidation. Those who chase the high should reflect on themselves. This is the weakness of human nature. It's been rising for so long, it's indeed time to consider taking profits and securing gains. Don't be greedy anymore. The market is uncontrollable; your mindset is the biggest enemy. I think it's safer to wait for a pullback before re-entering, but everyone is afraid of missing out, right? This kind of dilemma is the most tormenting—rising is uncomfortable, falling is also uncomfortable. The big players have already run away, and we're still here throwing a tantrum. How absurd. Instead of being tangled up, it's better to set a stop-loss and take-profit levels. Don't let emotions control you.

It's the same old trick again—making you FOMO when prices go up and forcing you to cut losses when they go down. A typical leek harvester.
