Tonight's early morning decision will indeed cause some fluctuations in market sentiment, but honestly, investing has never been about betting on a single event; it's about whether you can stick to long-term discipline. Here are a few thoughts I want to share with you:

**Volatility itself is not scary; what’s scary is losing control**
When the decision is announced, the market will definitely react, possibly violently or just calmly. The issue isn’t how the market moves, but whether you will lose your composure due to emotional reactions. Think ahead about your response—where to set your stop-loss, how to take profits in stages. These are much more useful than guessing whether prices will go up or down.

**Beware of traps in the news-driven market**
Looking back over the past year, within half an hour after each meeting, the market often experienced wild swings, then quickly reversed. Those with heavy positions or high leverage are easily shaken out or even face liquidation in such turbulence. Smarter approach? Wait until the initial emotional wave has subsided before taking action.

**Look at the bigger picture; the policy cycle has already changed**
No matter how tonight’s wording is phrased, this cycle of rate hikes is already coming to an end; this is a market consensus. For crypto assets, the marginal improvement in macro liquidity remains a long-term positive, but the process will definitely be bumpy. Focus on the overall trend and don’t let a single meeting dictate your moves.

**Opting for wait-and-see? That’s completely fine**
Missing out on a single fluctuation doesn’t mean missing the opportunity. The market is always there. Preserving your principal and maintaining your positions is often wiser than fighting in uncertain times.

Investments that allow you to sleep soundly are the best kind. If you’re anxious about your positions to the point of insomnia, maybe it’s not your forecast that needs adjustment, but your position size. Stay calm, prepare a plan, and remember, the market will open again after dawn.

That's so true. It's always those leveraged guys who suffer heavy losses, while we bystanders enjoy life more haha. Inability to sleep proves there's a problem with your position. That statement really hits home, and I'm just like that right now. Instead of guessing the rise or fall, it's better to stick to your stop-loss. Honestly, that's the secret to lasting longer. Are there still people analyzing decisions until dawn every day? I just watch the show quietly; after all, fluctuations are inevitable sooner or later. Principle capital is key. Those in a rush to make quick money are out of luck. I've never seen someone impatient and restless who didn't end up flipping over.

This guy is not wrong, just a bit verbose. Those who can really make money are the ones who can hold back from acting. I've been watching for a year. --- There are too many stories of liquidation within half an hour, every time someone leverages fully and gets wiped out haha. --- To be honest, rather than guessing how much tonight will drop, I care more about how many hours I can sleep. If the position is adjusted correctly, the mindset will naturally be good. --- The rate hike cycle is indeed coming to an end, but this wave of market still depends on liquidity. The long-term logic hasn't changed. --- Observing is not shameful either. So what if you miss a wave? The market won't run away. Preserving capital is more important than anything. --- Seeing someone say they want to go all-in within the first two hours, I knew there would be another story at dawn. --- Don't move within half an hour after the decision is announced. That’s a painful lesson I learned—reversals are super fast.

Damn it really, every time it's the same, big event promised but turns out to be nothing Exactly, instead of guessing the ups and downs, it's better to think about the stop-loss points first Leverage traders, are you going to get another wave of harvest this time? Haha, hilarious Long-term holders should really sleep through the cycle, anyway the rate hike cycle is almost over I really do, I can't sleep when my position gets heavy, might as well just reduce the position This is the ultimate test of patience, see who can hold on Wait until the first wave of retail investors is wiped out before entering the market, it's much safer Honestly, greed kills people; sometimes HODL makes more than trading The position that allows you to sleep peacefully is the rational position, this phrase is spot on

Honestly, staying up late on your phone waiting for decisions is all about the retail mentality... Long-term winners have already gone to bed. --- That's why I never leverage, and those who go all-in and gamble usually end up stories. --- I've seen many reversals in the market—today's sharp rise, tomorrow's halving—it's better to wait until things calm down before jumping in. --- Can't sleep due to position anxiety? Then reduce your holdings. Really, there's no asset worth losing sleep over. --- Look at the interest rate hike cycle over a longer time horizon; short-term fluctuations are just noise. The real question is whether you can handle it mentally. --- Instead of guessing ups and downs, it's better to set stop-losses. That's the secret to surviving the next wave of the market. --- There's nothing shameful about being cautious. I'd rather miss out than be repeatedly harvested in uncertainty. --- Every meeting, some make crazy profits while others get wiped out. The difference lies in whether you've planned ahead.

Bro, what you’re saying here is indeed human language, but when it comes to checking the market at midnight, who can still remember all these... I just want to ask, is it more painful to stop loss or to get liquidated? --- I have a deep feeling about the state of the market; I was forced out last time, and now I see any sign of movement, I shrink my position first, willing to miss out rather than go through that again. --- You’re not wrong, but I still want to gamble a bit, who made me so addicted, haha. --- "A good investment is one that allows you to sleep peacefully" — This hits hard. Why couldn’t I sleep last night? --- I agree that the policy cycle has changed, but I don’t know when it will actually be implemented. It always feels like it’s in the “almost there” stage. --- Waiting and watching is fine, but it’s so boring. Still, I need to find something to do... --- The key is to have discipline. It’s not that easy, right everyone?
