Last night's rapid surge in the market caught many people off guard and pulled them in unexpectedly. What is the biggest test during such sudden market movements? It's really not the technical analysis, but the mindset. The more volatile the market, the more you need to resist the impulse to act immediately.

During the early hours, market information is inherently asymmetric, and emotions can easily spiral out of control. Making random adjustments to your positions at this time often worsens losses. For friends who are already trapped, instead of stubbornly holding on or frequently stop-lossing, it's better to pause and calmly organize your thoughts. Clarify your current holdings, costs, and risk tolerance—many solutions will naturally emerge.

The market's rhythm continues unchanged; there's no need to rush this train. Finding a handling method that suits you often results in more stable gains than hurried actions.

Last night's wave really confused everyone, but after calming down and thinking about it, I realize I really need to stop that impulse. I knew it, trading in the early hours is basically free money, the information gap is too big, and once your mindset collapses, everything's gone. That's right, if you're caught in a trap, don't try to tough it out. Carefully review everything; that's the right approach. Not catching the opportunity doesn't make me regretful; there's always the next train. Stable returns are what really matter. Honestly, managing your mindset is much more effective than watching candlestick charts.

Last night, I almost got carried away too, luckily I held my finger and didn't move. That's right, the ones who can really make money are those who stay still. I really dislike the market at dawn; the information is truly chaotic. Mindset is more valuable than any K-line; lesson learned. Calming down and organizing my thoughts is indeed helpful. I've tried several times and managed to recover. Market opportunities are abundant; why insist on taking this particular ride? The hardest part is watching the price move without taking action. It's easy to say, but hard to do. Frequent stop-losses are self-harm; sometimes, you just need to close your eyes and lie flat.

empirically speaking, the data on panic-driven position adjustments during volatility spikes is pretty damning. most retail gets liquidated not because of bad entries but because they can't resist that urge to "do something" when vola hits. classic behavioral finance fail tbh

That wave in the early morning really got everyone itching to buy, and they got caught off guard haha Exactly, it's about testing your mentality. I almost acted yesterday too Mentality is really easy to talk about but hard to do It's actually about staying calm and not following the crowd to make reckless moves The market is always there; missing one train isn't a big deal I'm just watching now, waiting for the right entry point to jump in

Got cut again, maintaining a calm mindset is really harder to control than K-line patterns. I was completely asleep during that early morning market, and when I woke up, I found I lost two zeros again. You're right, staying calm and carefully calculating the accounts is the way to go, don't follow the crowd and operate blindly. This time I was just too quick, now I can only wait for the rebound and tough it out. The market is here every day, so why rush to take these knives, really.
