For the past few days, I’ve been enjoying life with my mom and completely logged off from the magic internet money market.
Aside from some quick TA while sniping a low-cap meme, I didn’t even open TradingView.
And guess what…
I just checked the charts.
Well, as anticipated — nothing happened.
Everyone was focused (and still is) on spending the holidays with their loved ones.
Hence the slow market.
Anyway, here’s why I’m sharing this:
All the people who used these holidays as a prime opportunity to detach from the magic internet money echo chamber and clear their minds are now well-rested and ready to crush Q1.
Meanwhile, those who spent them glued to the 1H chart without taking a break will burn out sooner and likely make costly mistakes due to lack of focus.
The lesson here?
When the market is going sideways and doing nothing, guess what…
You’re allowed to do nothing too.
Whether you’re a trader or an investor:
> Take time off.
> Clear your mind.
> Come back refreshed when it matters.
This constant urge to stay plugged into the market 24/7, 365 days a year, isn’t sustainable in the long run.
I get it — some of you are obsessed with this space.
Trust me, I am too.
I have been like that since 2017.
I used to feel bad while taking a single day off…
But here’s the thing:
No matter how driven you are, burnout will eventually catch up to you if you don’t pace yourself.
Avoid it at all costs.
Burnout can push you to quit at the worst possible moment and make you miss the opportunity of a lifetime — I speak from experience.
So, stay focused on playing the long game in a sustainable way.
Take breaks when the market slows down — it’s your chance to reset, refocus, and come back stronger.
Rant over, kings and queens.
Anyway, the real game begins soon.
Stay tuned
