With this wave of Ethereum market activity, I guess I missed out by not paying attention to the news. I hurried back this afternoon to monitor the market, afraid of missing any movement. And what happened? ETH was like hitting the pause button, with no volatility as expected. After browsing the news for a while, I finally realized—turns out the US stock market was closed all day today. That’s awkward.

Sometimes you realize that just watching the K-line chart isn’t enough. There are many market driving factors, and missing major events like the US market closure can easily lead to a skewed trading mindset. I initially thought there would be some movement, but macro factors completely suppressed the market. This has been a lesson for me.

But looking on the bright side, days like this with uncertainty are rare. The US stock market will reopen tomorrow, and ETH should find its rhythm. Hopefully, I’ll see some real volatility then. I’m going to rest tonight and recharge, ready for tomorrow’s market action.

Oh no, the US stock market is closed, really a waste of half a day monitoring the market This is ridiculous, if you don't keep up with the news, watching K-line charts is pointless Tomorrow's opening is probably the real show, sleeping now to recharge is the best strategy Contract traders fear these macro black swan events the most, hard to defend against Honestly, ETH has been underperforming these days, only when the US stock market opens can I feel relieved

Haha, once again beaten by macro factors. This is the price of not doing your homework. --- Missing the fact that the US stock market is closed is just deserved; no wonder you couldn't spot the wave. --- Actually, this is the market teaching you a lesson. Next time, remember to keep better notes. --- To put it simply, it's still poor information. Such a basic mistake is really embarrassing. --- Instead of watching the market, it's better to check the calendar first. If your logic is wrong, no matter how many positions you take, it's all pointless. --- The real test is when the US stock market opens tomorrow. Resting now is the right move.

Haha, so we both share the same illness. The US stock market being closed really can mess people up. This is a painful lesson. Only watching the charts without paying attention to the news, no wonder you get cut. Let's wait until tomorrow. When the US market opens, ETH should move. I'm the same way. Spent half the afternoon messing around and ended up with nothing. The key was that I was really panicking at the time, afraid of missing out on something, but it all turned out to be a waste of effort.

Haha, this is the consequence of only looking at candlesticks. News sentiment really can't be ignored. --- It's quite outrageous that the US stock market can be closed and forgotten... --- Tomorrow will be the real test. Let's see how ETH reacts. --- Staring at the screen alone for so long is useless; you need to keep the calendar clear. --- This round is probably a tuition fee. Next time, I need to be more cautious.

Haha, this is the price of watching the market closely. The US stock market being closed really makes it easy to fall into traps. Chasing highs is fun for a moment, but catching up later is a lesson learned. I should have checked the calendar first. Tomorrow is the real showtime. Sleeping now is the wise choice. This round is basically paying tuition. Learn from it next time. Wait until the US stock market opens, and ETH can recover. Right now, it's a trapped beast.

Haha, I've done this kind of operation before, and I will never forget the US market holiday once. --- To be honest, I'm just afraid of missing the market, only to find that there was no opportunity, which is the most despairing. --- Just looking at the candlestick charts is really tough; you need to combine it with the news calendar, otherwise you're just fighting against yourself. --- Tomorrow, when the US stock market opens, ETH will definitely move, let's see if I can catch the bottom. --- That's why you need to pay attention to macro factors; a market with no news, no matter how fancy, is just an illusion. --- I just want to ask, why didn't you set a calendar reminder? You can't let this happen a second time.
