Suffered a loss at the key level of 94,000. I initially went short expecting a decline, but the market moved beyond expectations, and I couldn't hold on, forcing me to switch strategies and go long. However, I also missed the right timing for the long position, didn't sell at the high, and ended up only making half the profit. But fortunately, I reacted quickly and wasn't caught in a trap.
This experience taught me one thing: the biggest fear in trading is obsession. The market changes in an instant, and your judgment might be wrong at any moment. Instead of stubbornly sticking to a single view, it's better to stay flexible. Allow yourself to make mistakes and accept that plans can be broken; adjusting to the trend is wiser than fighting against it. The more open-minded you are, the better you can seize opportunities. This is not only a trading skill but also a life philosophy.

94,000 is really a trap; you can't even turn it around.
Obsession is a silent killer; admitting mistakes early is the key to longevity.
Earning half is better than getting liquidated; only those who know how to cut losses are the winners.
The market won't wait for you to figure it out; you can only run with it.
This rise and fall taught me more than reading a hundred articles.
Flexibility > stubbornness; simple and straightforward, but really effective.
Not being trapped is a win; when greed takes over, your mind really goes haywire.

nah 94k got me too, the copium about "flexibility" hits different when you're already bleeding. honestly though? catching that reversal before full liquidation is the real alpha—most degens just hold the rope.

Haha, after all that fuss at 94,000, I only made half the profit. My mindset is really on point.
Just flip it back, at least I didn't get stuck. I give full marks for this move.
You're right about obsession; sometimes changing your stance is worth more than stubbornly holding on.
