A senior executive from a leading compliant platform recently mentioned in an interview: "We don't really look at the weekly or monthly fluctuations of the crypto market because, in the long run, it will inevitably go up. Just hold and that's it."



This statement sounds very reasonable, but here’s the problem—top executives can ignore short-term fluctuations because they can see the bigger picture and think long-term. But what about most retail investors? Short-term ups and downs directly determine whether their accounts suffer significant losses or make small profits. The weekly and monthly market trends are precisely the key information for deciding when to add positions and when to cut losses.

While long-term growth is a consensus, the rhythm and strategic adjustments during this process are absolutely essential for ordinary investors.

The executive's words are not wrong, but that's easy to say from the top of the pyramid. If retail investors also go all-in without looking at the weekly chart, they might suffer huge losses and not even have time to cry. This is the difference between retail investors and big players.

Executives' words sound nice, but honestly, it's easy for them to talk when their accounts are so large that a few percentage points of fluctuation don't hurt. For us retail investors, every dip is a test of whether we're willing to cut losses. Long-term holding isn't wrong, but the premise is to survive until that day. If you get the short-term rhythm wrong, your account can still blow up.

Executives' words are not false, but they are playing with company money, while retail investors are risking their living expenses. Can they be the same? We are not institutions; if we suffer short-term heavy losses, we have to eat dirt. Monthly and weekly charts are basically lifelines. The premise of long-term holding is to survive until that day.

Executives' words sound nice, but this is a classic case of survivor bias. They've already absorbed their costs, while retail investors have to survive based on short-term momentum.
