When trading $ETH, many people have a common problem: they always feel that the market is against them. In reality, the issue isn't with judging the direction, but with your psychological defenses being too fragile.

Taking trading mentality as an example, most retail traders have fallen into the same trap. When they are optimistic about a certain coin, they hesitate. When they finally muster the courage to enter the market, a normal pullback makes them start doubting themselves. "Is the direction wrong?" So they hurriedly close their position and switch to shorting. Ironically, the market then rebounds, and after all the fuss, their account is gone, leaving only a pile of fees.

Looking at the trends of coins like $PIPPIN and $TA, once the market trend is confirmed, there are only two paths in front of traders: either strictly follow the predetermined plan or be stopped out at the exit. The most critical part is the middle process—constantly changing your mind. That is the most dangerous.

If your analysis points to a bullish outlook, then go long decisively. If your logic indicates a bearish trend, then go short directly. But frequent reverse operations? That’s not flexibility; that’s being driven by emotions. The market isn’t afraid of your wrong judgment; what truly makes the market "fear" is that after you make a wrong call, you still blindly keep pushing forward.

Survivors in this market are never because they get every trade right. On the contrary, their common trait is: they can cut losses without hesitation when they judge wrong, and they can hold on tightly when they judge correctly. Market fluctuations are normal, but the market’s rhythm will never deceive you. Whether you can truly make money depends on whether you can control your emotions and have enough patience to wait for the market to give its own answer in the chosen direction.
