This drawdown better be educational for the “failed trader” archetype. Question every trading cliché. Don’t accept scripts just because they sound wise. Two of the worst ones: 1) “Dips are for buying.” The permabulls and green-candle addicts only see markets as one-directional. They’ll tell you dumb stuff like: “I won’t short because downside is limited, but upside is infinite.” Then they decorate it with words like “asymmetric risk” to sound smart. Reality: Not every dip is a buy. Sometimes you’re just being handed smart money’s bags. 2) “You’re not down unless you sell.” This drop proved how trash that line is. The same people who got you buying tops suddenly preach “don’t sell” once it starts bleeding. $OP, $TIA, $PI, $EIGEN … and a long list of others. Drop in the replies the coins CT “experts” convinced retail to hold with: “you’re not losing unless you sell.” Let’s break these two scripts first. If there are other clichés you want to kill, comment them too.
