The sharp drop on the 22nd was triggered by unverified rumors about the repeal of the “Genius Act.” The market sold off instantly, and with order book lags happening at the same time, it was practically impossible to react properly.
As a result, I took a loss of $230,000. Moves like this are not common — they are rare but extremely aggressive one-way crashes. For those without much experience in such situations, it’s natural to feel frustrated or even doubt the process.
👉 Here are my thoughts: Losses, even large ones, are part of the trading journey. What matters is how we manage risk, learn from these situations, and recover steadily. A $230,000 drawdown is significant, but by no means irreversible — it can be recovered with discipline, patience, and consistency.
🙏 I sincerely apologize to those who copied my trades. Please understand that rumor-driven one-way crashes are almost impossible to defend against with perfection. Even so, I take responsibility and will keep working to protect the bigger picture.
For now, I’ll be taking a short break — watching the market closely and only stepping back in when I see a solid entry point. My focus remains on preserving the long-term profit curve, ensuring it continues on an upward path, and not being shaken by temporary shocks.
In trading, setbacks are tests of mindset as much as skill. I remain confident, patient, and committed to the long game.
