There have been quite a few people asking about the AST coin recently.
To be honest, I haven't gotten on board for now. Why? Because the price hasn't reached the "sweet spot" I want. At least I have to wait until that big influencer (let's call him Big Brother) is around the position where he initially built his position. Only then can we truly be "in the same boat" – sharing the risks and sharing the rewards. Entering at that price level will give me peace of mind.
In the investment industry, patience is the first lesson. Don't rush, and don't panic.
Of course, if you want to take a gamble now, I won't stop you. After all, it has indeed dropped quite sharply today, and technically there are signs of a rebound. But to be honest, the overall trend is still bearish. Entering the market now is purely a bet on a short-term rebound — if it goes up, quickly pull out, and after that, wait for the next round of sell-off.
This is human nature: hoping for a rise after buying and hoping for a fall after selling. Every trader has a little calculator in their heart.
