Seeing ETH break through the previous resistance level of 3170, I currently hold long positions in BTC, ETH, and SOL, and I remain quite confident about the upcoming market trends.
However, what I want to discuss here is less about market outlook and more about some insights into investing itself. Last October, I chose to liquidate my spot holdings and exit the market. Later, when ETH surged to 4700, I took a short position, which drew quite a bit of skepticism at the time. But you'll find that market gains often hinge on the decisions of a few people, and most of the time, they go against the crowd.
Over the years of trading, I’ve come to understand more and more that what truly tests an investor isn’t how accurate their market predictions are, but whether they can stay calm during the most frantic and panic-driven moments. Many people understand this principle verbally, but when it comes to critical moments, they often lose their composure.
I share my trading logic and thoughts not to prove how capable I am. Mistakes are normal; this journey is fundamentally about continuous trial and error and gaining experience. The least helpful thing is those hindsight comments. The decisions made in the moment are always more difficult than looking back. So instead of listening to what others say, it’s better to ask yourself whether you can think objectively in the face of real market volatility. That’s the biggest challenge in investing.
