Recently, many people have suffered losses in the ZEC market. Yesterday, I personally witnessed someone close their short position and switch to a long, only for the market to head straight down, going from hopeful to completely discouraged. This is actually a reflection of my early years; even then, there were cheers for "breaking 600," but in the end, the market still pushed people to the ground and rubbed them in.

Let's review this typical crash scene: someone saw a short-term rebound signal and hurriedly chased the long, thinking "this time it will definitely rebound," but the market turned downward immediately. From "profit in sight" to "being trapped and anxious," all in an instant. The underlying problem behind this, based on my ten years of experience, boils down to these three points:

**First trap: Emotions dominate position switching**
Many people switch directions not because of changes in technical patterns, but because they are "afraid of missing out."

ZEC-5.87%

It's the same old story of getting trapped again and again, and I'm already numb to it. Missing out is the biggest mistake; just saying it brings tears. --- ZEC this time is really fierce, and are there really people who can turn a short into a long? You must be pretty good at fooling yourself. --- After ten years of falling into traps, I finally understand this. I've paid a big tuition fee in the past two years, and it's really damn expensive. --- That's how it is. As soon as I see a rebound, I can't hold back, then I start regretting life, cycle repeats. --- Cutting losses on emotions is the ultimate kill shot. I can't focus on technical analysis at all; I just want to take a gamble. --- When I was aiming for 600, I was also in. Thinking about it now, it's just embarrassing. The market teaches the harshest lessons.

tbh zec fomo is just liquidity fragmentation wearing a different mask... seen this exact pattern during the poly exploit aftermath. people chasing bounces without checking the actual flow charts first, that's how bridges get drained fr

Honestly, I've seen too many people start to fantasize during a rebound, thinking that a small green light means they've gained insight, only to end up losing everything. This mindset... really needs to be corrected.

Getting taught a lesson with a quick counterattack—that's the consequence of greed... Jump in when you see a rebound, but it turns into a decline instead. LOL
