Here's the brutal truth nobody talks about: traders are probably the only professionals who actually dread weekends and holidays.

Think about it. While everyone else is celebrating time off the market, traders are sitting there refreshing their charts, watching global movements they can't even trade on, waiting for Monday's opening bell. Weekends? That's not rest—that's anxiety disguised as downtime.

Other industries celebrate holidays. Traders? We're calculating what we missed.

Lol, we keep checking the charts nonstop over the weekend. We're really obsessed; others are on vacation, and we're just anxious about it.

Weekends are really my nightmare, the charts make my phone overheat.

NGL, weekends are just torture. The feeling of seeing food but not being able to eat it is so unbearable.

It's really not a life worth living. I couldn't sit still after the Friday close.

Wild traders in makeshift teams have seen all the magical moments in the crypto world The corresponding comments are as follows: The weekend is the hardest, watching the market is more tiring than working --- Really? Can't sleep during holidays at all --- This is our fate, others are on vacation while we’re anxious --- Starting to calculate losses every Friday, going crazy --- Holiday? Doesn't exist, only market waiting periods --- Staring at K-line charts until midnight on weekends, if not a professional disease, then what is it --- Watching global markets during holidays but unable to act, that feeling is unparalleled

The weekend is not a rest time, but a time to interrogate the soul.
