If there is a significant market rally in the upcoming period, 99% of traders will regret it!

It may seem strange, but the reason is very simple: most people do not notice this point, and no one talks about it clearly.

Here's what will actually happen:

When the market starts to rise, you'll find that most traders (especially those with old experience) feel happy just to see their capital preserved with very small profits. The happiness here is minimal because it is just a recovery of previous losses.

The real problem? Most will sell quickly! And the obvious reason: fear of repeating what happened before. This fear pushes them to exit early and settle for a small profit, instead of waiting and benefiting from the larger upward movement.

This is a psychological cycle that repeats repeatedly: selling out of fear rather than selling out of strength.

You're absolutely right; psychological barriers are the biggest enemy. Most people truly fall victim to greed and fear.

Haha, you're right... It's just that my mental resilience is too weak. As soon as I see a little green, I want to run. --- That's why most people are destined not to make big money. Once their mindset collapses, everything's over. --- Are you serious? I'm just one of that 99%... Always like this, getting so excited when it hits the daily limit that I bleed. --- So, the real enemy is the mindset of just getting by. --- If this wave really rises, I would definitely sell too early. It's a bad habit I can't change. --- Bro, your analysis is so thorough, it hit my pain point. --- Saying 99% is an understatement; it's probably 99.9% who simply can't wait.

I'm just worried that when the price rises, I'll still be hesitant about setting a stop-loss, and in the end, I only make a few points and then sell. Truly brilliant.

Honestly, this psychological game is so real; most people are just destined to be weeded out as retail investors. Wait, so you're saying that holding until the end is the only way to make big money? I feel like that's pretty tough too... Mindset is definitely the biggest enemy; balancing take-profit and greed is really difficult. If I miss out on this wave again, I might really give up on trading cryptocurrencies.
