Altcoins are active, and BTC is dropping. I've followed this pattern for almost a year. Rather than calling it a coincidence, it's better to see it as capital flowing in and out of different sectors. It's like a restaurant; the signature dish is still being served, but customers have already started ordering appetizers, so the kitchen naturally prioritizes ensuring the quality of the main course.

Based on my trading records over the past year, the most important factor at such times is the ability to manage positions. The more violently BTC drops, the greater the potential for a rebound—this is not just comforting oneself, but a market pattern. Instead of obsessing over why it’s crashing, ask yourself whether this is a better, cheaper entry point.

Honestly, sometimes trading BTC doesn’t require overthinking macro factors; just paying attention to the flow of funds between it and altcoins can reveal a lot.

Oh, I've known this theory for a long time, it's just capital rotation, nothing new. Can you see this pattern in a year? I've been playing for five years, I don't bother with these anymore. Really, or are you just comforting yourself, talking as if there's a pattern? Position management is the key to survival; everything else is虚的. Entering BTC when altcoins are active feels not much better than gambling. Is it enough to just look at capital flow? Or should we combine it with other indicators? Cheap entry points? Someone always says that whenever the price drops.

This wave is spot on, capital rotation is just that simple and brutal. Wait, your trading record this year isn't all losses, right haha. Position management is indeed a life-saving thing; without it, it's just playing around. Why do I feel like I'm explaining very smoothly? Could it be a reflection written after a drawdown? Shanzhai rises, BTC crashes, I also discovered this pattern. The hard part is how to keep up. What macro factors? Watching the capital flow is enough; everything else is虚的. It sounds like self-comfort, but it does make sense. The problem is there are many opportunities to buy cheap, but the key is whether you have the money to catch the dip.

Hey, I've heard this theory too many times, the key is execution, brother. It's just a capital game, nothing mysterious, it all depends on who has a stronger mentality. When altcoins are bouncing, it's indeed a signal, but we have to admit that sometimes it's just pure gambling. Whether this wave of decline can rebound is really uncertain, don't mythologize the market patterns. Position management is the real thing; those who dare to add during a dip are either tough or fools. Anyway, I’m just randomly cutting positions, let’s wait for the rebound. For BTC, you still have to look at the big trend; don’t just focus on short-term capital flows. What sounds good is "buy-in opportunity," but what’s harsh is like catching flying knives, judge for yourself. Did you make money this year or not? Just summarizing patterns, what’s the use?

I'm tired of this rhetoric. Last year at this time, it was the same story, and look what happened? We don't get to decide where the funds flow. Just throw money in if you want, I’ve already run out of bullets anyway. When altcoins jump, BTC kneels—are these really patterns or just our illusions? Position management? Brother, does that phrase really justify those who got liquidated? Honestly, it's just gambling, and trying to dress it up as some market pattern is pointless.

Really, I also discovered this pattern: copycat projects jump in and then crash. The sharper the decline, the bigger the rebound space. To put it simply, it's about whether you dare to buy the dip. Position management is the key; don't always focus on those abstract macro factors. Fund flow is the real signal; those who understand the market are watching this. This wave is another opportunity to get on board, it all depends on who can withstand the psychological pressure. Honestly, compared to this pattern, the harder part is not to operate recklessly oneself.
