These two positions have been in my hands for several days. The maximum floating loss once exceeded 1000, then I turned around and made quite a bit of profit, just like that, repeatedly tugging. It's easy to say, as long as you don't be greedy, there are actually opportunities to make money. But human desires, always wanting more — from a grain of rice to a handful of beans, from visible to blurry. Now I'm stuck at this critical point, neither daring to let go nor knowing what to do next. I still want to hold on tightly to these two positions, just not yet reaching my target price. In this wave of Bitcoin and Ethereum行情, what do you all think? Should we be greedy and wait for higher, or take profits when the market looks good?

Greedy but not too impatient. I was stuck here before, and in the end, I was actually squeezed out. --- This wave is indeed hard to judge, but one thing to say—don't let profits turn into losses. --- That's right, desire really is a trap. I'll set a take-profit point now, and when it hits, I'll withdraw to avoid regret. --- Holding for so long and still hesitating, it's better to lock in gains first, since the market still has a long way to go. --- I can totally relate. This kind of back-and-forth pulling is the most torturous. My suggestion is to cut your position in half and try to test the waters. --- Honestly, your mindset is no longer suitable for holding. It's time to exit when you should. --- By the way, Bitcoin's current position is actually quite good; why wait for the very top? --- Holding onto two orders stubbornly—that's a gambler's mentality. At least diversify the risk. --- Getting stuck at a critical point is the most painful, but often that's when you're most likely to lose. I would choose to walk away.

Breaking 1000 and breaking even again, how strong must this mentality be haha Wait, what's your mental price level? You wouldn't be moving it up again, would you? To be honest, greed is hard to resist, but this wave of market conditions is indeed tempting... I'm also conflicted Feels like holding a position is even more painful than holding a knife Actually, if it should be cut, just cut it. Don't wait for a reverse explosion to cry Holding two positions for so long is not as satisfying as going all-in with one Everyone's greedy, everyone wants to catch the highest point, but what’s the result? I think the bulls still have a chance in this round of market, but the risk isn't small either It's easy to say you're not greedy, but in reality, you still want to catch the bottom and top, yourself Actually, those who take profits when things look good are all making money, while those still waiting are just waiting Mental price level is just a cover-up; frankly, it's still reluctance

This is a typical greed problem; I also often fall into it, haha. Knowing when to stop is really a skill; even if you reveal it to everyone, no one will listen.
