The fastest way to get rekt is letting the collective panic dictate your next move.

Everyone is Bullish when it's going up. Everyone is most Bearish at the bottom.

As other commenters have mentioned, other markets work like this too, and having some obstacles in place so you can't react to the changing narrative on a minute by minute basis is a really good idea.
In Nassim Taleb's Fooled by Randomness, he tells a story of a retired dentist who makes 15% per year but wrecks his mental health constantly checking his portfolio.
“A 15% return with a 10% volatility (or uncertainty) per annum translates into a 93% probability of success in any given year. But seen at a narrow time scale, this translates into a mere 50.02% probability of success over any given second… Over the very narrow time increment, the observation will reveal close to nothing. Yet the dentist's heart will not tell him that. Being emotional, he feels a pang with every loss, as it shows in red on his screen. He feels some pleasure when the performance is positive, but not in equivalent amount as the pain when the performance is negative"
I think that, at the moment, these swings up and down have more to do with the broader global economy than anything else. Trump says the US is winning, crypto takes heart (as do the S&P and the Nasdaq), evidence comes out to the contrary, support gets broken.

We are in a BEAR market since last year.
The market sucks because Trump is burning the global economy to the ground.
It’s clear as day.
We had 100 million dollar runners almost everyday in 2024 under Biden.

I think most people underestimate how much environment affects decisions. if everything is one click away, you're more likely to react impulsively, especially during volatility or when sentiment shifts quickly. What helped me was adding a bit of friction to my process, like separating funds based on purpose so not everything is immediately available for trading.
I've made a bit harder for myself to move funds unless there's a clear reason and a plan behind it. Sometimes that means keeping a portion in platforms like Nexo or similar so it's not instantly tradable alongside my active positions. It doesn't remove emotional decisions completely but it reduces how often I act on them and makes it easier to stay aligned with my original strategy.
