Whenever the cryptocurrency market experiences intense fluctuations, the test is never your technical analysis skills but your psychological resilience.
The most common reaction after being caught in a downturn is to want to cut losses immediately. But reality is often harsh—most losses occur at the moment you can't resist making a move. It's normal to feel anxious when prices are falling, but staring at the K-line chart and worrying won't change anything. What you should do is calmly reassess: are the coins you hold worth your continued patience?
If your position allocation is reasonable and your financial situation is healthy, then hold steady. There's an important detail here—many people can grit their teeth and endure the first big drop, but when the second wave of decline comes, many will completely lose their composure, cut losses at the bottom, and then watch the price slowly rebound.
The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s always lacking is patience. Your goal shouldn't be to catch the bottom in one go, but to maintain a stable mindset through every market fluctuation and gradually accumulate in batches. The secret to making real money is actually very simple—invest with money that, even if lost, won't affect your daily life. Only then can you truly stay calm amid market turbulence.
Hold on, the market ultimately belongs to those with patience. Assets like DASH and XMR still have long-term value worth paying attention to, and market corrections are the perfect opportunity to reassess your layout.

You're absolutely right. Cutting losses is the biggest way to lose money. That's exactly how I lost money before.
---
When the second wave of decline happened, I really couldn't hold on. My emotions collapsed and I sold immediately. Now I regret it so much I feel like my intestines are turning green.
---
Mental resilience really hits home. No matter how good your skills are, if your mindset collapses, it's all useless.
---
The hardest part is waiting. The group that waited the longest is now laughing happily.
---
Financial health is the most critical factor. Investing with spare money changes your mindset completely.
---
Sticking to something sounds easy, but few have truly survived the third wave of decline.
---
XMR is definitely worth long-term attention. Now is a good time to accumulate at low levels.
---
Instead of torturing yourself by watching the market every day, it's better to make a good plan and just leave it there.
---
I just want to ask those who successfully bottomed out, is it really because of excellent analysis or just good luck?
---
The cruelest part of the market is making you decide in despair, only for it to rebound the next day.

Well said. During the second wave of decline, I was really mentally shattered, watching my positions slide all the way down... Looking back now, cutting losses and exiting at that time was really brainless.
Wait, are you saying that I should have used only spare money to play from the beginning? Why am I only realizing this now...
I have some experience with DASH, but XMR is truly more imaginative. This adjustment definitely requires careful consideration of how to allocate.
To be honest, what's more painful than losing money is seeing a rebound without any chips. That feeling is just incredible.
Psychological resilience is really a thousand times more important than watching candlestick charts. This has been a painful lesson for me.

You're absolutely right, the problem is that knowing and doing are two completely different things... I'm the kind of person who gets emotionally broken during the second wave of decline.
