Last week, I saw a group of children playing on a seesaw in the park. One kid pushes down hard, and the other gets thrown up into the air; when the first child can’t hold on anymore, they come crashing back down in the next moment. The two of them laugh and flip back and forth, cycling endlessly.
I stood there thinking, isn’t this just a microcosm of the crypto market?
$BNB’s recent price movements are just like this seesaw. When it suddenly surges during a calm period, it’s just like a child pushing off with force—the screen erupts with exclamations, FOMO emotions soar, and everyone wants to chase that high. Then a pullback comes, resembling a moment of suspended anticipation, even traders’ breathing slows down.
What’s the difference? Children never wonder “Will the seesaw stay stuck at the top?” They just enjoy the ups and downs of the game. Recently, watching the K-line of BTC and BNB in my account, I’ve actually relaxed. I didn’t chase those crazy surges, nor was I scared into selling during every pullback. I just sit tight and feel the rhythm of this cycle.
The market’s pendulum is inevitable. True rationality is seeing through the rules and still waiting with a smile for the next wave of volatility. It’s not ignoring risk, but understanding that risk is part of the game itself.

The seesaw analogy is perfect, but to be honest, most people still chase in at the high point, and they simply can't have the innocence of a child.

The seesaw analogy is perfect, but brother, I can't learn your mindset. I'm still stuck in that crazy cycle of chasing highs and cutting losses, my mentality has already collapsed.

The seesaw metaphor is perfect, but honestly, most people can't sit still. They start doubting life at the first sign of a pullback.
Always jumping in after seeing others make a killing, only to end up as the bagholder. That mindset is the biggest risk.

The metaphor of the seesaw is perfect, but right now I am the one being knocked down, cutting into my flesh and doubting life...
That's right, the problem is that kids won't go bankrupt, but we will.
Mindset is mindset, account deficits are deficits, easy to say.
This wave of BNB movement is really disgusting, those chasing the high are all cutting losses.
Wait, you rely on "seeing through the rules" to make money? Why haven't I seen any profit screenshots?
Waiting for fluctuations with a smile? I'm crying while watching the decline...
The mystical bowl of soup is quite comfortable to drink, but reality isn't that warm.
