Staring at the K-line of RIVER/USDT for a long time, I finally realized — obsessing over every candle's ups and downs makes it hard to see the overall trend clearly.



The market is like a mirror, reflecting only our own desires. When prices rise, greed surfaces; when prices fall, fear takes over. That fluctuating curve carries the joys and sorrows of many people. As an old saying goes, what is meant to come will come naturally; forcing what shouldn't come is pointless. True trading skill isn't in the buying or selling moment, but in maintaining the right mindset.

These past two days, RIVER has indeed performed fiercely — soaring 17% in a single day, and the medium-term trend is also quite strong. But upon closer technical analysis, short-term momentum has already started to weaken, and the MACD histogram has turned negative. This point is a bit awkward: chasing longs is like holding a torch against the wind, easy to get burned; shorting is like trying to block a flood forcefully, the timing isn't right yet.

The wisest approach? Take a break. Wait for the market to breathe steadily, wait for the next wave of opportunities to become clearer, then act. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best decision of all.

And we end up becoming slaves to this system. It's difficult, but everything you said really makes sense.

Well said, it's really just greed and fear constantly messing with ourselves. Doing nothing is the best trade, I truly believe in this.

Well said. I used to do the same, staring at the screen until my eyes blurred, and ended up losing the most. Now I've learned that doing nothing is actually earning, and I feel much more relaxed.

Bro, you're adjusting your mindset well. I also often get caught in the vicious cycle of constantly watching the market.

Looking at the details too much can actually cause eye strain, this point is truly heartfelt --- A negative MACD is a signal, forcing it is just giving away money --- You're right, you're much better than me staring at the screen every day --- A 17% increase is tempting enough, but not chasing that wave also allows for peaceful sleep --- Sometimes the hardest decision is to hold your hand and not move --- The mirror analogy is excellent, it all reflects your own greed --- Taking a break has really saved me several times; not every market trend requires participation --- The timing isn't right, forcing yourself to jump in will only lead to being trapped --- It's easy to say, but very difficult to do, you still need the right mindset --- Seeing the trend is easy, resisting temptation is the real challenge
