#密码资产动态追踪 The recent market conditions are really testing people's patience. Just look at the market trend — institutional funds and big players, the so-called "smart money," are not spared from losses either. Bulls are trapped, bears are also suffering, as if the entire crypto market has no profitable activity. And what about retail investors? Standing at such a crossroads, neither side feels good.

Actually, this scene is not unfamiliar at all. During market fluctuations, everyone wants to find certainty, but instead, traps are everywhere. Large funds have the ability to adjust their strategies; they can endure and shift positions. But retail investors have limited operational space and psychological resilience. Once losses start to spread, it’s easy to fall into a passive position.

The key issue may not be how to predict the market trend — because even "smart money" can't get it right — but rather to think clearly about your role in this market. The volatility of the crypto market is evident, and risks will always exist. Instead of worrying about where to go next, it’s better to first understand how much you can bear.

This market trend indeed tests people's psychological resilience. I checked the on-chain data, and the large wallet outflow signals are obvious, indicating that no one is confident. Instead of guessing the top or bottom, it's better to calculate the risk factor clearly—I personally allocate based on a 30% loss tolerance, diversify storage with multi-signature wallets, and never slack off on private keys. Retail investors are most prone to greed; even when there's no certainty, they still go all-in. This is not investing; it's gambling.

Laughing to death, hearing "smart money also loses money" so many times --- Here we go again, retail investors should just accept their fate --- Really, volatile markets are tough on everyone, I'm currently in a passive position --- The key is to know your own strength, don't mess around blindly --- Institutions can't even predict the market, why should we retail investors be able to make money --- Psychological resilience is indeed a weakness, panic sets in at the first drop --- Rather than trying to predict the market, it's better to just live well, haha --- I can hear the helplessness in this statement, but it is what it is

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years' worth of books, right? It sounds good, but I still feel like it's just fooling retail investors.

Damn, this is really the last time I'm bottom fishing. Fully invested, and the bull market is right in front of us to recover the losses.

Is it really a total defeat, even institutions are getting cut? --- Retail investors are most likely to despair at this time. Actually, they should reflect on how much principal they can afford to lose. --- Stop guessing blindly. Instead of trying to judge the market, it's better to first assess your risk tolerance. --- I told you, even smart money isn't always smart. Everyone has to pay for their own decisions. --- Volatile markets are a touchstone; those who can't endure will naturally be eliminated. --- To put it simply, you still need to know your own limits. Don't over-allocate to the point of death.

Smart money also loses, and we retail investors must keep our mindset intact. --- Basically, it's about the wrong position; no matter how smart you are, it's useless. --- Instead of guessing ups and downs, it's better to calculate how much you can afford to lose. --- Institutions are all losing money, so why expect yourself to go all-in blindly? You're overthinking it. --- Volatile markets are just about making anxious retail investors lose their money. --- Now is not the time to judge right or wrong, but to know your own strength.
