Waking up in the morning still with that feeling—every time a major economic data release night, it's really a hassle. If you have positions, it's manageable, but opening a new position on the spot? That's basically gambling.

When data like the Federal Reserve CPI is released, the prices of mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, and BNB often fluctuate wildly. Experienced traders know that at such times, it's best to either lock in profits in advance or stay put before the data is released. Many have suffered losses trying to catch the bottom or chase the high, only to be caught by a reverse move caused by the data.

Rather than gambling for probabilities during these high-risk windows, it's better to wait until the dust settles and the price trend becomes clear before entering the market. After all, steady returns are always more appealing than a nerve-wracking night.

data dumps always expose the reckless ones... seen too many positions nuked in seconds bc they couldn't resist chasing volatility. red flags detected whenever someone's talking bout "timing the dip" right before fed announcements lol. ngl the safest play is just sitting it out, let the dust settle first then move. DYOR but honestly this one's pretty straightforward

Data Night really is a gambler's playground. I always choose to lie flat because the profits are mostly made by institutions. Speaking of which, this is actually the most comfortable time to observe the market; you can watch the show without opening a position. Those who open positions on the eve of the CPI are probably hoping to get rich overnight. I don't believe in that kind of luck. Stable growth is the way to go. Although it sounds boring, it truly leads to a longer life.

Every time CPI night, I can't sleep. Isn't it better to rest well before the data release? --- Really, opening a position temporarily is just like giving away money. I've seen too many people get hit hard in the opposite direction right after the data comes out. --- Wait, you still dare to open new positions before the data release? I just close everything and sleep peacefully. Isn't that better? --- That night, BTC's volatility woke me up with a shock. Since then, I’ve learned what it means to trade with caution. --- It's easy to say, but hard to do. When you're careless, you just can't stop, haha. --- It feels like the entire crypto world is gambling on the data. Maybe I'm just not good enough. --- Instead of guessing whether it will go up or down, it's better to wait until it comes out before acting. Anyway, missing a few points is better than waking up to find everything back to square one.

Data night really tortures people, and sleep quality drops sharply Opening positions temporarily before CPI is pure gambling. I did it last time and was immediately wiped out Isn't it better to wait for the trend confirmation before entering the market? Why fight against the odds?

Data night I closed all positions, I really won't gamble this time CPI night got hit again, I've learned my lesson Wait for it to settle before entering again, or else I'll just be giving money to the market makers

Data night is the worst, really, sleep quality is directly affected. That night of CPI, I completely closed all positions, would rather miss out than get hammered. Just want to ask if anyone still dares to open new positions during data releases, that takes a huge heart. Honestly, bottom-fishing sounds exciting, but in reality, it's just suicide. Waiting for the volatility to settle before entering the market is so simple, but some still choose to lick blood at the edge of the knife. Actually, making money isn't that urgent; it's not worth a heart attack in one night.
