The crypto market is in a rather unusual state: tens of billions of $ have flowed into the market, tens of billions of USDT and USDC have been minted, and many new stablecoins have been introduced, yet we have boredom as the price of BTC fluctuates around $100K.
When BTC price dropped from $108K to $90K two days ago, many investors were scared and worried that BTC price would decrease to $70K. However, today, when BTC price quickly recovered from $90K to $100K, investors became greedy and started talking about $160K or even higher. Looking back, an experienced trader could have made a significant profit by selling BTC at $108K and buying back more BTC at $90K. On the contrary, many other investors might have panicked and sold their BTC when it was at $90K, and they are now regretting not holding BTC more firmly.
After many years in the market, I've noticed that investors always have the expectation of trying to optimize their accounts during bullrun by attempting to sell and buy multiple times to take advantage of fluctuations within each market wave. Unfortunately, they usually fail and hand over their tokens to whales just before the market experiences a massive surge.
In 2025, a similar pattern might be repeating itself, with whales psychologically torturing investors by making them constantly see and miss out on profits, forcing them to consider hypothetical scenarios about optimizing portfolio success. I myself am holding several tokens with large price fluctuations such as AVAX, ADA, DOT, NEAR, IMX and sometimes I feel a bit regretful looking back at the opportunities on their price charts.

Comparing a few % of profit and the risk of missing out on hundreds of % helps me make the best choice for myself right now, which is to continue holding crypto until the market shows clear signs of a trend reversal instead of constantly buying and selling and creating unnecessary pressure for myself. The recent rise in BTC price has already brought me profits and altseason will generate more profits, which is sufficient for my investment plan in this cycle. Avoiding frequent trading also gives me more time to monitor and analyze the market, maintaining a clear head in every investment decision.
Lao Tzu also once said "Doing nothing is doing everything", I find it particularly true for my hold-to-signal strategy in 2025. I focus on my real-life work and avoid making regrettable mistakes with my crypto account.
Are you holding crypto or trying to buy and sell as much as possible to increase the number of tokens and optimize profits from this bullrun?
