Recently, I've seen many people getting excited in the market discussion area—Ethereum has risen by 1.15% in the short term, and some have begun to exert themselves to chase the price, even closing all positions in other encryption assets and going all in at once. As an analyst who has been in this market for many years, I must honestly say that there are two types of trading strategies in the current environment that should be avoided. Once you step on either one, your years of profits could instantly disappear.



**Trap 1: Chase the price and go all in at once**

Many people see Ethereum rising and have only one thought in their minds - quickly getting in, fearing to miss out. As a result, without thinking things through, they throw all their savings into it. This kind of strategy is the most prone to losses. Why? Because short-term surges often hide the risk of adjustment behind them. This wave of Ethereum's rise is indeed impressive, but the price has already hit the critical resistance level of 2865. There are a large number of sell orders at this position; it's not easy for the bulls to break through. Once the price turns around and adjusts, you'll be stuck at a high position. Even worse, because you're all in, there's no room for maneuvering; you can only hold on tightly and watch your account balance drop. I've seen too many such cases - last year, when Ethereum rose from 3000 to 4000, countless people went all in at the peak, and later the price fell all the way down to over 2000. Many ended up choosing to cut their losses and exit, suffering heavy losses.

**Trap 2: Anxiety of Missing Out, Randomly Copying Imitation Bottoms**

Another common mistake is: watching Ethereum rise while not keeping up, feeling anxious and eager to make up for it. Many people's approach is to simply give up on mainstream coins and turn to altcoins, fantasizing about a quick doubling to recover losses. This mindset is the most dangerous. Emotion-driven trading decisions often mark the beginning of losses. True investment should be based on calm analysis and risk management, rather than psychological anxiety.

1.15% can all in? Wake up everyone, this is just the prelude to being played for suckers. Going all in and chasing the price is just waiting for bankruptcy, I’m so tired of seeing it. Missing out and betting on altcoins, this mentality really has no cure. How many people will have to pay at the 2865 barrier, still dare to go all in? Emotional trading = giving away money, there’s no difference. Every day shouting about missing out, then turning around and putting all the capital into altcoins, it's laughable. This wave of market is just here to filter out suckers, those who are all in will eventually fall into the pit.

1.15% and you go all in? That's really a gambler's mentality, you'll pay for it sooner or later. I've seen too many instances of full position chasing the price; the next round will be similar. Missing out leads to random speculation on altcoins; this mindset needs to be fixed. It reminds me of last year's wave, how many people cut losses at high positions, and still haven't learned. Those who chase the price and sell with bearish market always lose the most, yet no one changes.

1.15% went all in, really need to calm down, I'm serious. At this critical position of 2865, going full position once, sooner or later it's the dumb buyer's turn. Missed out so going to buy altcoins to double, this logic I really admire, the king of emotional trading. Last year, those who chased Ether from 3000 to 4000, are they still cutting losses now, does it hurt? With the words full position, I just know this person is bound to lose. In this market, it's always the ones who close all positions that end up cutting losses, no problem.

Really, those guys who go all in at 1.15% need to calm down, I didn't enter a position this time either. Full position chasing the price always ends up being a dumb buyer, how can you not see so many sell orders at the key position of 2865? I also saw someone get liquidated directly during that wave from 3000 to 4000 last year, it's too outrageous... still need to keep some bullets.
