#数字资产市场动态 Why do I always lose money? Many people blame luck, saying they just missed the market opportunity. Little do they know, the truth behind it is far from that—you're actually being played by the market's rhythm.

Let's look at a classic pattern. Suddenly, the price drops sharply, and most people can't react in time, their minds go blank, and they only think of one word: escape. At the moment your panic stop-loss is triggered, those chips are quietly absorbed. This is the first step of the main force.

Next comes the most frustrating part—once they have enough chips, there's no rush to push up. The market enters a phase of repeated oscillations, ups and downs, with a blurry direction, testing patience like never before. Many retail investors, during this stage, give away the chips they already hold. They think the market is done, but they don't realize this is precisely what the main force is carefully laying out.

When emotions are nearly exhausted, the price begins to climb slowly. Trading volume gradually increases, and the market starts to sound like "it's about to take off," with waves of chasing high pouring in. But by then, the main force has already signaled distribution—creating some pressure during the rally to make you think someone is dumping, when in fact they are forcing others to exit. Once enough follow-up traders join in, the distribution of high-position chips is complete.

In simple terms, the main force repeatedly succeeds because they exploit people's weaknesses: fear of retracement and desire to chase gains. To avoid being harvested, it's not about predicting how the next candle will move, but about controlling your own rhythm. Don't change your stance just because of a few candles, and don't let emotions replace your thinking.

Focus on the structure, patiently wait for the right position, stay calm when it's time to endure, and act decisively when it's time to move. Whether your account can gradually recover depends not only on whether the market gives opportunities but also on whether you've found your own rhythm. Once the rhythm is right, many pitfalls will naturally be avoided.

That's right, it's just being manipulated by the main forces' rhythm. A series of aggressive moves, and when I look back... I've dropped my pants. Oh my god, why is it always me chasing after the rising wave? I've seen this routine a hundred times in the group, but I still can't escape each time. Truly incredible. The most deadly thing is when the rhythm collapses; emotions take over, and you start chopping recklessly. Who can we blame? The key is not to be washed out by panic, but it's easier said than done... I just can't stop my fingers. Actually, it's just a lack of patience. Seeing others make money while I get cut, that's the biggest injustice. Take a look at my stop-loss orders, each one more nervous than the last. There's really no sense of rhythm.

Really, every time I'm cut like this... You're so right, I'm just that kind of fool who panics and cuts losses Here we go again, it's "controlling the rhythm" again... The words are right, but can it really be done in practice? I've heard this logic a hundred times, but I still can't escape it, mainly because greed is still at play Damn, it feels like my experience over the past two months... It's really heartbreaking Stop hyping it up, no matter how good the rhythm is, it can't beat a black swan; luck is the key I don't believe you, what rhythm... It's actually just gambling Sounds right, but how can retail investors possibly beat the main players? These days, does anyone still believe in having "their own rhythm"... So funny

No problem with what you said, but that line "Afraid of retracement yet eager to chase the rise" really hit me, isn't that my true reflection... --- I've seen through this routine a long time ago, but the key is that even after seeing through it, I still have to honestly get cut, it's uncomfortable --- Controlling the rhythm is not easy at all, as soon as I lose money, my mind is no longer my mind --- The main force has been playing these tricks for so many years, and some people still fall for it, which shows that human nature is just garbage --- The problem is how to find your own rhythm, oh man, isn't it still something you have to explore yourself --- Rather than saying controlling the rhythm, it's better to say don't follow the trend, but this is probably the hardest part

Exactly, that's the point. Retail investors are always a half beat behind the big players, and when emotions take over, it's game over. Really, I've been played by this routine too many times. Every time I think I've figured it out, but it's always the same trick. Whatever. The hardest part is during the consolidation phase. Watching the account plunge makes you want to sell, but little do you know, they don't even care about you. The rhythm sounds simple, but actually doing it is damn hard. How much mental preparation does it take? Every time I say this time will be different, but when I look at the market, I still can't resist the urge. The big players' tactics are actually pretty low-level, just relying on people's greed and fear in a cycle. Yet, it still works pretty well. Now I'm trying to watch the market less and trade less, and I really feel a bit better.

I think I've heard this set of arguments too many times. The problem is that most people simply can't do it, no matter how eloquently it's said, it's useless.
