Back in May when $BTC pushed to $82k, I was getting absolutely roasted. Thought to myself: next time we hit a fresh low, I'll just say accumulation's on and DCA is the move. Figured that'd keep the dunks at bay.
Spoiler: didn't work. Still got cooked.
Lesson? The crowd doesn't care if you're measured or disciplined. They want the call, the number, the date — or they want blood. Playing it safe just means you catch heat from both sides: the moon boys when you're cautious, the bears when you're not bearish enough.
Chart doesn't care about your feelings. Neither does the timeline. You either have conviction in your levels and windows or you get run over by noise. DCA into a range is smart. Saying it out loud while everyone's emotional? That's just signing up for more dunks.
