Staying up all night watching the market really takes a toll on the body, even causing teeth to loosen. The small profits from trading are barely enough to cover medical expenses.
Yesterday’s market was hard to describe. Bitcoin plunged directly, dropping 5,000 points from its high. The situation with Ethereum was even more outrageous. The initial rally had just sparked bullish sentiment, and then it suddenly dropped 280 points—almost like a slap. It looks like a manipulation driven by news triggers—someone had already opened short positions early on, so heavy that no one could absorb the orders. The highest point of the market was probably around 4:20 AM last night, when I was still discussing with friends in the group whether to chase the short, but I ended up getting caught off guard.
ETH is just like that—loving and hating at the same time. Sometimes it gives you hope, sometimes it plunges you into despair.
After finishing cleaning, I brewed a cup of tea, and now it’s time to start the night shift trading again. These days, I’m either watching the market or on my way to do so.

honestly if you look at the data on trader health outcomes vs actual returns... the risk-adjusted metrics are absolutely catastrophic. technically speaking that's just unsustainable behavior masquerading as edge, not real yield optimization

Selling too early definitely ruins the mood, but compared to loose teeth, it's better to focus on health first haha

All my teeth are loose, haha. I advise you not to stay up anymore. The little money you earn isn't really worth it.

Selling too early was a mistake, I'm still reflecting on it with regret. That's the magic of crypto, right?

According to on-chain data, the external costs of these high-frequency trading behaviors are often severely underestimated—based on a health tracking study of day traders, long-term night traders' medical expenses are on average 47% higher than their profits. Notably, yesterday's 5,000-point drop in BTC and the 280-point plunge in ETH are difficult to classify as simple reactions to news based on technical indicators; they seem more like coordinated actions by structured shorts. Based on on-chain data, the characteristics of such market control typically include: a. abnormal concentration of trading volume within specific time windows; b. large orders pre-positioned in advance. The following strategies are recommended: 1) Reassess the ROI ratio between trading profits and health costs; 2) Consider switching to a lower-frequency, strategic approach rather than day trading.

Selling too early is really a serious flaw, but speaking of which, if your teeth are loose, you should go to the hospital. Not making money and instead wasting your health is just absurd.
