Stop-loss really is like a breakup—the more you drag it out, the more you want to “wait a little longer,” and then losses quietly turn into interest plus opportunity cost, and in the end you still have to admit it in a worse position. Recently, some people have been watching large on-chain transfers and unusual activity in exchange hot and cold wallets, calling it “smart money.” I get tempted too, but let’s be honest—that’s just part of the noise. It’s the same as when I look at the order book depth before placing an order and calculate the slippage/impact cost—if you’re not sure, don’t force it. It’s better to miss out.
