It's a new day again, and it's the nineteenth day of holding the position. Looking at the chart, my heart is pounding.

The recent market movements of ETH and SOL really make it hard to decide. Continue adding to the position? Worried about buying at a high. Reduce the position to take profits? Afraid of missing out on further gains. The most ridiculous thing is that sometimes I even think about closing all positions with one click and just cashing out.

But every time I reach this critical point, I keep wavering between a few options. Maybe this is the normal state of trading—constantly swinging between regret and anticipation.

What would you choose? Is the trend not fully played out yet, or is it time to take profits and exit?

ETH2,88%

SOL1,44%

That's why I never hold a position for more than a week, it's exhausting, brother.

Here are some distinctive style comments: --- First: Still hesitating after nineteen days, man, you need to get your mindset right. Just go all in and don’t look back. --- Second: The biggest risk when chasing highs is this kind of psychological game. I already sold ETH in batches, still gambling on SOL. --- Third: Always swinging between regret and anticipation—that’s exactly me. Might as well just HODL forever. --- Fourth: Take profits when you see gains, brother. I feel this round of the market is about to peak. Better to earn less than get caught. --- Fifth: Adding or reducing positions is all talk; the key is your risk tolerance. I went all in anyway—if I go bankrupt, so be it. --- Sixth: After nineteen days holding, my mindset has already collapsed. It shows you’ve taken a big position; scale down a bit and you won’t be so anxious.

Nineteen days and still haven't broken even, how strong must my mentality be? I would have already collapsed myself. If you can't hold on, just sell in batches. Don't go all in at once, or you'll really regret it if you lose. When it comes to chasing highs, just look at the historical trends—most people end up losing. SOL is too easy to be crushed, so I dare not hold a heavy position. Actually, the biggest fear isn't a pullback, but that one day I get emotional and make a reverse move. Hold or run, honestly, it's a test of your psychological resilience. I choose to admit defeat and sell half.

Still hesitating after 19 days? You should have taken profit long ago. Isn't one-click closing more satisfying?

Holding for 19 days and still hesitating? You should have taken profits and secured your gains long ago, buddy. --- This wave of market movement is over. Chasing highs is just giving money to the big players, there's nothing to hesitate about. --- Every time you say you'll always be indecisive, just set a stop-loss point and stop watching the charts. --- I've already sold ETH and SOL long ago; now they're just gathering dust. You're still playing mind games here. --- Build your mental resilience well; otherwise, a sudden plunge could wipe you out. Knowing when to take profits is truly the right move. --- Honestly, after 19 days and still not clear on the direction, you need to be extra cautious. Don't gamble anymore.

Haven't decided in nineteen days, and my mindset is breaking down pretty quickly haha This is the curse of the crypto world, constantly bouncing between FOMO and stop-loss Honestly, no one can precisely catch the top. Instead of overthinking, it's better to set a take-profit line and stick to it My feeling is that as long as there are no clear negative signals, the trend usually doesn't reverse that quickly If you're unsure, reduce your position gradually; it makes you feel better inside

Basically, by the nineteenth day of holding, you start to get anxious. This mindset itself is problematic. Adding or reducing positions, closing positions—are you trading or gambling? I suggest you just focus on where your cost price is. Once you've set your take profit and stop loss points, don't mess around.
