Just one more thing: I came across a headline saying, “Two large BTC options trades spotted on an exchange, with a combined notional value of $24.67 million,” and it reminded me of how I used to be.
Back then, whenever I saw news, I’d want to jump into a trade. After a few times buying at peak excitement and selling in a panic, I changed my habits.
Now I read the full story first, wait to see how the market reacts, and only then decide whether to act. $BTC is no different.
At the end of the day, the easiest mistake to make isn’t getting the direction wrong—it’s letting one news item dictate your moves.
Have any of you had a similar experience?
