Decision Traps: How to Maintain Clear Thinking in the Crypto Market

In the crypto market, investors often face three major psychological challenges: the fear of "missing the last opportunity", the uncertainty regarding the duration of a bull market, and the pressure from others' outstanding performance. The combination of these three factors can severely impact investors' judgment, leading to a series of poor decisions.

Common Consequences

  • Distraction: Blindly following every trend and ignoring core trading opportunities.
  • Overly Pessimistic: Losing confidence due to market uncertainty, unable to hold assets for the long term or completely exit the market.
  • Lack of conviction: Without in-depth research, it is difficult to remain steadfast amid market fluctuations.
  • Missing Strategy: Exiting too early due to the fear of the market ending, thus missing out on greater profits.

Coping Strategies

  1. Focus on Core Areas

    • Focus on specific directions or hot topics within one or two ecosystems.
    • Make a choice between on-chain trading and secondary market trading.
    • Determine the most suitable investment direction based on your own conditions and the market environment.
  2. Clarify the operation method

    • Distinguish the essential differences between investment, trading, and speculation.
    • Use a simple framework to help assess and formulate corresponding strategies.
  3. Develop a clear plan

    • Determine the market capitalization range for entry.
    • Set up batch profit-taking rules.
    • Estimated asset target price and timeframe.
    • Clearly define stop-loss conditions, which can be based on fundamentals, technicals, or changes in the macro environment.
  4. Self-awareness

    • Identify personal weaknesses: experience, skills, psychological biases, capital management, etc.
    • Avoid areas of weakness and focus on leveraging strengths.
  5. Continuous Improvement

    • Reflect and analyze after each transaction.
    • Improve the win rate through experience accumulation and increase the position size at the right time.
    • Keep learning and progressing, avoid long-term stagnation.
  6. Seek Collaboration

    • Collaborate with reliable partners to complement each other's shortcomings.
    • High-quality trading opportunities often stem from teamwork.
    • Quality over quantity: Choose partners who have a comparable or higher level in the areas you care about.
    • Expand Horizons: Establish small circles in different fields to gain broader market insights.

By implementing these strategies, investors can maintain a clear mindset in the complex and ever-changing crypto market, making more rational and effective decisions. Remember, successful investing requires not only market insight but also self-awareness and the ability to engage in continuous learning.
