Good morning. The Asian session has just opened, and the $SXP price action is making me feel a little uneasy. Last night it plunged from 0.00380000 all the way to 0.00190000, nearly halving, then closed back at 0.00220000. It’s down 38.89% in 24 hours, with volume of just 372K. For it to sell off this hard on such low volume shows buyers simply couldn’t absorb the selling; sell orders kept pushing the price down—a classic liquidity vacuum.
I moved my stop-loss down another notch from 0.00210000. Afterward, I couldn’t help laughing at myself: this isn’t a stop-loss, it’s just a way to save face. What I should really reflect on is that so-called strength at the highs a few days ago. I shouldn’t have chased it in the first place. Once your position exceeds your personal comfort limit, watching the market stops being about finding opportunities and becomes about seeking reassurance. I got through this one not because my read was right, but purely because I hadn’t gone in too heavy.
Looking again at that wick down to 0.00190000, not many people would dare buy at that level. Get it right and you’ve bought the dip; get it wrong and you’ve caught a falling knife. I’d rather wait for it to reclaim 0.00240000 before taking another look, even if it means missing out on some gains. At least I’ll be able to sleep. The market reminds me every day that surviving matters more than being right. Lesson learned today with $SXP. #SXP #RiskManagement
