You finally catch that coin rallying hard. Target hit—time to take some off the table. But wait, it's still looking solid. Maybe hold a bit longer?
So you step away, grab dinner, try not to think about it. The chart takes a small dip—totally normal, nothing to sweat. Back home, you tell yourself: "Even if this corrects 50%, I'm okay if it pumps 2x from here anyway."
Sleep sounds good. Wake up tomorrow morning to check your phone.
Liquidation notice.
That's the script most of us know too well. The gap between recognizing profit and actually securing it? That's where dreams get liquidated. The real enemy wasn't the market pullback—it was the "just one more time" mentality. Classic crypto move.

The heart has a fierce tiger that delicately sniffs a rose.
