#数字货币市场回升 Why do retail investors always fail to make money during a bull run?



To put it bluntly, technology has never been the barrier. What really holds you back is that restless heart.

If you think a coin can triple or quintuple, but it stays flat for two days, you start to doubt life – "Should I pull out if it doesn't double?" The most frustrating thing has never been the crash, but that kind of lukewarm trend that occasionally gives you a little sweetness and then continues to grind. Patience is consumed little by little.

What's even more heartbreaking is:

Afraid to catch it after it falls into a deep pit,
They say it has no value after it has fallen through.

The problem is not about being afraid of a drop, but rather about not being able to hold on.

Many people can hold on when the market drops purely because they are confused; the truly impressive ones are those who can remain steady like an old dog when the market rises, not scared away by paper profits.

The biggest contradiction for retail investors is this:
Panicked when it drops, even more panicked when it rises.

Once emotions are out of control, your account becomes a cash machine for the main players.

The dozens of times the altcoins have skyrocketed is never a coincidence; it is the fixed routine of the main forces:
Sideways grinding, bearish decline scaring, fake rally deceiving...
When you are so exhausted that you only dare to make a little money and run, the main upward trend has just started.

A long-term downtrend does not mean there is no hope; it means the market is collecting chips.
A few big bullish candles are not handing out money; they are rewards for those who haven't been washed out.

What is the real test of a bull run? It's perseverance.
Only by enduring the fluctuations, overcoming panic, and getting through self-doubt can you enjoy those few life-changing bullish candles.

Most retail investors lose not because they have lost a lot of money, but because they cannot hold on—they see a glimmer of hope but do not dare to take a step forward.

Turning over never relies on luck; it relies on choice:
Choose the right track, choose the right timing, choose the right circle.

Now that you've come this far, you are already closer to opportunity than most people.

Next, set aside your emotions, keep up with the rhythm, and prepare to embrace the real bull run.

You’re absolutely right, I’m the kind of person who wants to run away after not moving for two days, and now my account is full of regrets. Honestly, every time it’s sideways, I pull out first, and then watch it soar, making me so mad I could vomit blood. If you can’t endure this stage, don’t ever expect to turn your situation around; that hits hard. Not being able to hold on is the biggest problem; technical analysis is all just fluff. I’m more anxious when it rises than when it falls; my mindset is really on the edge. I’m just afraid that the coins I cut losses on will quintuple by next Friday; that feeling would be absolutely devastating.

It's true that there's something to be said, but to be honest, the thing I fear the most is this "endurance"... I've already been on the verge of collapse after two days of Sideways It's really a hard blow not being able to hold on to this; watching the account rise makes me even more nervous than when it falls, afraid that a take the opposite position will make it disappear... The market maker's routine is really brilliant But speaking of which, can $IRYS $ORCA really wait for the main rise, or is it just another trick to play people for suckers?

It's too heart-wrenching to hear. I'm the kind of person who wants to run after two days of Sideways movement, I need to reflect. Really, I'm always the most anxious when it's rising, but I can actually sleep when it's falling. This mindset is hopeless. This is the routine before the main rise; I've lost several times before I understood, and I still easily get washed out. The key is I can't hold on. Just looking at the paper profits makes me want to run, and as a result, I've missed countless big market trends. I just want to ask if anyone has really managed to hold on, please share your insights. This wave really requires controlling emotions; otherwise, I'll always be the dumb buyer.

Oh, here we go again, my mindset breaks the fastest. Not being able to hold on is really a terminal illness, I've been worn out. After two days of Sideways, I want to run away, no wonder I always lose money. When it rises, I get even more anxious, I can't outplay the market maker in this psychological game. You're absolutely right, most people lose because they can't endure this.

You're absolutely right, it's just that you can't hold on. I totally understand the feeling of wanting to run away when the account rises by five bucks; it's hard to hold on.

It's really hitting the heart, I'm the kind of guy who wants to run after two days of Sideways... --- Can't stand this bit, it's worse than losing money --- Seriously, if I could be as steady as an old dog, I wouldn't be staring at Candlestick charts every day until my eyes hurt --- Choosing the right track and timing sounds easy, but it's really tough to execute... still figuring it out --- That grinding Sideways before the bullish belt hold, I never made it through every time, hahaha so true --- The key is not being able to tell when to buy and when to run, it feels like the market maker is just playing with us --- Keep your emotions in check and follow the rhythm, it's easy to say, bro

It's too heart-wrenching to say, I'm the kind of coward who wants to run after just two days of sideways trading, every time I'm washed out and then see it rise tenfold. Really, not being able to hold on is the root of the problem, it's not a technical issue. The reason I can't hold is because of my poor mindset, I always self-doubt at the most critical moments. In this bull run, watching everyone else make money, but I'm still losing, because I'm always thinking about quick money. The main rise always starts after you sell, I believe it now. Next time I dare to go all in on a coin, I must control the impulse to run and give it a try.

You're not wrong, it's just that this mentality is torturous. --- Every day being bullish makes me want to run, and after two days of sideways movement, I capitulate. It's really something. --- I just want to know how to endure it, please share the tutorial. --- When the main rise starts, retail investors have already run away, haha, it's a cyclical script. --- I really relate to not being able to hold on, I always withdraw the day before it doubles quickly. --- Choosing the right track sounds easy, but in reality? It's all hindsight. --- The difference between being washed out and not being washed out is indeed just this thin line. --- The philosophy of endurance, but most people can't last until that moment when their account is already gone.

It's too heartbreaking to say, I'm the kind of person who wants to run after two days of sideways😅 Really, every time it's a rise, I get more anxious, feeling like a dumping could happen at any moment. That day when $IRYS pumped, I ran away immediately, only to realize later that this was exactly the main rise... The key is still the mindset, I understand the technology, but I just can't endure that process. It seems I need to learn to be steady like an old dog.

To be honest, this really hit me. The worst is that kind of Sideways torture, when there’s no movement for two days, you just want to run. Not being able to hold on is the real disease, I'm someone who has been through it. That’s how the market maker operates, they only start the main rise when you get scared. This is the fate of the retail investors who can’t hold on.
