When the market turns red and major assets like Solana show volatility, keeping your cool is half the battle. Here's what works: Take a breather—step away from the charts for a bit, the constant price-watching only amplifies anxiety. Remember your original thesis—if you believe in the fundamentals, temporary dips are just noise. Review your portfolio strategy rather than panic-sell. Set stop losses ahead of time so emotions don't drive decisions. Connect with the community, swap war stories—everyone's been through downturns. Most importantly, use corrections as educational moments to understand market cycles better. The traders who survive bear markets are those who stay rational when fear peaks.

Nah, really, as soon as I see the red, I want to smash my phone, but stopping watching the market has really saved me several times...

Honestly, the hardest part of a bear market is not watching the market. Once you look, you want to cut your position. That's true.

ngl, leaving the candlestick chart is the real thing; constantly staring at it is just asking for a breakdown in mentality...

ngl Leaving the candlestick chart really can save your life. I used to stare at it all the time, and eventually my mindset exploded, selling at the bottom... Now I've learned not to look, and I actually make more money.

ngl Leaving the trading interface really saved me. I used to stare at solanachart every day and got so anxious I couldn't sleep... Now I just set a stop-loss and go to sleep, my mindset is so much better.

Nah, really, the red market tests human nature the most. I'm the kind of person who just closes the app when I see a limit-down, haha, to avoid my blood pressure soaring.
