Friends, the market is changing phases, and if you do not change your approach, you will be part of the statistics. Here is the brutal truth that no one wants to hear while $BTC searches for its new supports.
1. The hunt for green candles (FOMO) Most retail traders wait for the price to explode to enter. Look at the chart: entering after a candle of +15% without retracement is becoming the "liquidity" of whales. Profit is made in waiting, not in chasing.
2. Leverage: Your worst enemy Using a leverage of x20 or x50 in such a volatile market as that of 2026 is playing Russian roulette. A simple liquidation wick of 2% (very common on $SOL or $ETH) and your capital disappears. Leverage should be used to optimize a position, not to hope to get rich overnight.
3. The absence of Stop-Loss "It's going to go back up". That's the phrase that empties wallets. A professional trader accepts losing 2% to gain 10%. A beginner refuses to lose 2% and ends up losing 100% by remaining stuck in a losing position for months.
4. Overtrading The market does not provide opportunities every day. Sometimes, the best trade is to not open one. If you force trades out of boredom, the market will end up punishing you.
💡 My advice for survival: Get out of the noise. Look at higher timeframes (Daily/Weekly). If your plan does not rely on strict risk management, you are not trading, you are betting.
