The crucial moment tonight is approaching. Next, keep an eye on the 19th, followed by the options expiry day on the 26th.

Choppy trading is the most exhausting. When prices go up, you think "Is this the top?" and hesitate to short; when prices fall, you're afraid "it might go even lower" and hesitate to buy long. When you finally can't hold back anymore, it often happens right at the high point when chasing longs or at the lows when shorting—several rounds back and forth, and your capital gets cut away bit by bit. Many people don't get wiped out in a trending market; they get worn out in these oscillations.

In plain terms, the game equilibrium has been broken, and there's an issue with mechanism design. A historical lesson—those people in 2017 got caught the same way.

Leg shaking and other stuff until the 19th, this wave of turbulence has me mentally exhausted Really, chasing longs at high levels and getting wiped out at lows, getting cut down one by one, I believed it Is the 26th the rhythm for liquidation? Still stay calm and don't move Sideways trading kills more than a limit down Sigh, I’m back to struggling whether to go short or long, this feeling is the most hopeless

It's really a cut by cut, and I now have a bit of PTSD when I look at the market On the 19th, stay calm, don't chase highs or sell lows again Range-bound trading is a psychological battle, the most testing of human nature The night before the 26th, are you not sleeping? I'll definitely be watching the market until dawn again Psychological breakdowns always outnumber liquidations; everyone understands the reasoning but just can't do it It's time to test our fingers again Range trading is the most torturous, everything I do feels wrong Honestly holding an empty position and lying flat might be the best solution Which of these two time points is more dangerous, everyone? Just surviving to see the 26th in this wave is already good enough

The oscillation trading is really tricky. I always get stuck in that dilemma—can't short during ups, can't go long during downs... Wait, it's the 19th. Feeling a bit nervous. It's another story of chasing longs at a high level, and the sound of cutting losses is back. Settlement date is the 26th. This time I need to stay calm, or else it'll be another waste of bullets. Actually, the most annoying thing is that kind of bouncing up and down, watching the principal gradually disappear... feels bad. Keep an eye on these two dates, pray not to reverse position at the worst time.

I got cut again, see you on the 19th for the showdown --- This kind of oscillating market is really tricky, sometimes chasing longs, sometimes wiping out shorts, and the money in my hands is like paper --- Options settlement on the 26th, should I gamble or play it safe and watch the show, that's the question --- Chasing longs at high levels and killing shorts at low levels, I've done it all. Now I'm starting to question life --- Staring at these time points every day, it's more comfortable to just go to sleep --- How many people have been exhausted by this sideways market? I might be one of them --- From the 19th to the 26th, this half-month must have been so hard to endure, really exhausting --- Can't short, can't go long, then what am I even playing for? Might as well go all-in --- Seeing this makes me think of those days when I cut my losses, each cut hurting so much --- So many people watching the options settlement day, today's bound to be chaotic
