cryptotrading.

This week we talked about:
Why prices are fallingWhy most traders lose during dipsWhy losses start before the dipThe $10,000 lesson people learn too late
But today I want to ask you something simple — and uncomfortable:
When the market drops 10% in a day… what do you actually do?
Be honest.
Do you:
A) Buy more
B) Freeze and do nothing
C) Panic sell
D) Open a 20x short
E) Start scrolling X hoping someone confirms your bias
No judgment. Just truth.
Because here’s the reality:
Most traders don’t lose because of volatility.
They lose because they don’t have a predefined plan.
Look at recent volatility in $BTC and $ETH .
Was the move shocking? Maybe.
Was volatility unexpected? Absolutely not.
Crypto is volatile by design.
Yet every cycle, traders act surprised.
Let me ask you something deeper:
Before you entered your last trade:
Did you define your invalidation level?Did you define position size based on risk?Did you pre-accept the loss?
Or did you just expect it to work?
Because most people don’t blow accounts during crashes.
They blow them during overconfidence phases.
The uncomfortable pattern
Here’s what I see constantly:
Market pumpsConfidence risesRisk increasesDiscipline dropsMarket correctsAccount suffers
And then traders say:
“Market manipulation.”
No.
It’s emotional exposure.
So here’s today’s real question:
If the market drops another 15% next week…
Do you have a plan?Or will you improvise?
Write your answer below — seriously.
Not what sounds smart.
