RAVE and I share the same experience; he has already cut his losses and exited, while I am still holding on.
It's all tears to talk about. In the beginning, I relied on my own trading to ride waves, making some profit from a few gains. Later, I was fooled by so-called "professionals" and made impulsive trades. I had decided not to participate, but somehow I impulsively jumped in, only to end up at the top of the mountain, getting cold winds. Should I sell or not? Sell now, and I’ll have to give back all the gains made earlier plus more to fill the gaps, even risking my principal. Not selling, and I feel anxious inside.
Watching the market trends of mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, I hope they can rebound in the short term, but that hope seems a bit pale. The biggest lesson is—those who make the most money in the market are often not analysts, but those who stick to their own judgment. This time, I paid a heavy tuition fee.

Hearing you say that, I can't help but think of my own disaster with signal calls, truly heartbreaking.
To cut or not to cut, this question hits right at the core of my heart. I'm still debating now.
Professional? Ha, I only trust my own market instincts now.
It would be great if BTC could rise another wave, but it feels a bit difficult.
The scariest thing is that after cutting losses, it rises again—that's true despair.
This time was like paying tuition; next time, I must strictly stick to discipline.
Rather than listening to analysts' predictions, it's better to observe the market myself; feelings can't be fooled.

Listen, buddy, trusting those so-called professionals is just asking for trouble.
Whether to cut losses or not depends on your psychological endurance. Anyway, I've been caught too many times. Now I have just one principle—if the loss is unacceptable, I immediately exit.
RAVE cutting losses at least keeps you sober; are you still stubbornly holding on? Honestly, it's more damaging to stay calm when things go south.
When will your own judgment ever be unnecessary? Do you only feel happy when others lead the way?
Mainstream coins bounce back? Bro, that's hard to say. Keeping your principal in mind is what really matters.

Listening to RAVE's story makes me think of my own blood, sweat, and tears history. I should have listened to myself long ago.
The moment I trusted the experts, I knew it was over, really.
Whether it cuts or not, it’s painful. This feeling is so torturous.
Has BTC gone up, or shall we just lie flat together?
Paid the tuition fee, next time I won’t follow the trend again.
Hold on, brother, since it’s already like this anyway.
Why are there always people bragging? I just believed it.
Can mainstream coins save me? Probably not.
Sticking to your own judgment can make money, but no matter how I judge, I’m losing.

Listen, that's why I never follow those so-called experts; making your own judgment is the way to go.

Listen, buddy, I’ve been through the same thing. Listening to "experts" is really just digging your own grave.
Cutting losses is tough, holding on stubbornly is tough too, but compared to staying trapped and feeling exhausted, it's better to cut your losses early.
Even if your own judgment is poor, it's more reliable than someone else's "advice." I’ve also learned this lesson.

Listen, stop resisting, just cut your losses.
---
Professionals are all nonsense, trust yourself.
---
That's why I never follow trades, it's too damn risky.
---
RAVE is smart, cutting losses promptly is the winning mindset.
---
Sell on rebound, or hold and watch the bloodbath continue, choose one.
---
All the profits from swing trading are lost, this lesson is valuable.
---
Mainstream coins won't bounce back in the short term, think long-term.
---
The analyst's words are worth a dime, trusting your own charting is more reliable.
---
Feeling anxious is a signal, exit early.
---
I've been fooled before, now I refuse to listen to anyone.

Stop forcing it. Cutting losses on RAVE is the right move; we've all been fooled by experts.
Recognize when to cut losses; refusing to do so is true foolishness.
Holding on before the market picks up is just gambling; you can't beat the house in this game.
