Yesterday's spike to 87K definitely scared many people. Watching the position nearly liquidate, but then turning around, Bitcoin (BTC) today directly broke above 88K, and Solana (SOL) also rebounded strongly, breaking through 125U. Behind this rebound actually reflects an interesting phenomenon: major players tend to deploy their positions when information is chaotic.

From the market performance, yesterday's decline was just a test move. Those retail investors who couldn't resist selling during the spike probably regret seeing the price rebound today. This isn't the first time — every market fluctuation, there's always someone who, due to lack of patience, hands over their chips to those with true patience and capital.

This reminds me of a perspective on time: time is a friend to the persistent, but an enemy to frequent traders. Especially in the crypto market. Those who choose to HODL at critical moments often end up with profits that come from those who panic-sell.

The last-day-of-2025 market movement, in a sense, is a test of mentality. BTC dropping from the spike back above 88K, and SOL's rebound strength, all tell us one thing: short-term volatility is often just noise. True gains come from those who can withstand fluctuations and are not swayed by emotions.

So, hold on to your chips. Because in this market, patience itself is an advantage.

Yesterday's move was really fierce; the guys who cut their losses must be feeling terrible today. It's just the old trick of the main players shaking out the weak hands. I really can't stand seeing those retail investors panic. The 87K spike was just a test; a bunch of people were so scared they ran away immediately. Time is the true test; those who hold on will laugh last, while frequent traders will only suffer bigger losses. Let me tell you, every time there's a market like this, it's a feast for the big players at the expense of the small investors. HODL is the way to go; everything else is just a waste.

It's the same old story, every time they cut a wave and then pump it up again, retail investors just deserve to be harvested. Damn, I was really scared yesterday. Now watching it go up makes me mentally exhausted. HODL and all that stuff is getting boring, but the key is to survive until that day. I really couldn't hold through that 87K drop. Now seeing it rebound makes me uncomfortable. My mentality is collapsing, I don't want to talk anymore. Time is a friend? Bro, my account balance is the real friend. The big players are so bad, they specifically like to play this trick before holidays.

I was also shocked by that wave yesterday, but luckily I didn't accidentally cut it off. Really, this is the ultimate test of human nature; retail investors are just being harvested like chives by the big players. I've heard the word HODL so many times, but it's really hard to do. Do you understand how painful it was when it hit 87K? But then it turned around and hit 88K. It always happens like this; as soon as you panic, you get washed out just right. It's really a game of patience; whoever can hold on will make money. There should be quite a few people cutting losses now, serves them right. Having patience is truly the key to making money. Don't look at the market when your mindset collapses; that's the real advice. SOL's rebound this time has decent strength; it seems the big players didn't really exert much effort. On the last day of 2025, the big players' moves this time are truly impressive.

Yesterday's 87K really scared me, luckily I didn't cut. It's another show of cutting leeks; retail investors are always the last to know. HODL really doesn't lie, it depends on whether you can withstand the mentality. Every time there's a pin, someone gets caught, why can't we learn? It's already 88K, some people's cut-loss orders have become history. The SOL rebound this time, going long after the bounce, is hilarious. Time exchanges for space, it's easy to say but hard to do. The main players are accumulating in this panic, and we retail investors can only lie flat.

Once again, the leek harvesting machine is activated. Damn, I am the one being cut. --- I was so scared that I sold everything yesterday, and today it’s going up, I’m dumbfounded. --- Basically, the main force is shaking out the weak hands; retail investors just can’t see the situation clearly. --- This is the real psychological test; only those who can hold on are the winners. --- It’s always like this. I’ve never held on at the bottom once, haha. --- I was really scared that afternoon during the 87K dip, and now I regret it to death. --- Patience? Easy to say, but I really can’t hold on. --- HODL is indeed the simplest yet the hardest thing to do. --- Now you tell me not to cut losses? Why didn’t you say that yesterday? --- It seems that the last lesson of this year is to get stabbed once and then stand up again. --- Sora’s rebound strength still shows some potential.
