The market has been dull these days, with sluggish trading volume and no counterparties to trade with. Liquidity has dried up completely. Placing orders often results in slippage, and there's no way to escape once you're caught in it. The feeling of being trapped is truly uncomfortable. You have to wait for the wind to change or wait for someone to take the other side. That's how the market is—when there's a lack of enthusiasm, even trading itself becomes a form of torment.

Liquidity drying up is really the end of the line; it feels like the entire market is dozing off. With the market so dull, rather than getting stopped out by orders, it's better to just lie flat. Waiting for the wind? You might be waiting until the end of time. Where did the counterparties go? This liquidity is truly outrageous. Instead of being trapped and tortured, it's better to spend this time researching the next opportunity. Slippage so bad it makes you doubt your life—really, is no one trading anymore? The market has no heat, and that's how it is; trading has turned into gambling.

Damn, I've really been stuck these days, can't even move Wait, isn't this just the daily life of a bear market? Get used to it Slippage on limit orders is absolutely hopeless, someone save me Liquidity exhaustion is like this, no one wants to play with you People making big money quietly, why haven't I seen any?

Liquidity exhaustion is like this, I don't even dare to move Waiting to see if a black swan crashes the market, maybe I can buy the dip So dull that my scalp is numb, when will this end In this kind of market, taking action is like making money, I choose to lie flat Where did all the opposing orders go? Did they all go play with new coins? Slippage can eat up half of the profit, what's the point of playing? Just need a big fish to stir up the market The feeling of being trapped is really uncomfortable, can't hold on and have to admit defeat

Liquidity exhaustion is truly the worst, this is the most tormenting --- Order slippage, can't even run away, so frustrating --- Waiting for the wind? Probably won't wait anymore --- Trading volume has died, and so has the market --- What about the counterparties? Have they all run away? --- How to play in this kind of market? Just lie flat --- The feeling of being trapped, absolutely terrible --- Liquidity drying up is a nightmare --- Torment, really just torment
