Just took a quick look at the market, ETH closed today at $2,323, up 1.56%.
This morning, I was tempted when I saw the low point at $2,258, thinking about whether to buy the dip, but I hesitated for a long time and didn't act, only to see it rise to $2,342.
This kind of market really tests patience.
The trading volume of over 500 million is still quite active, but overall, the market still feels very cautious.
The fear and greed index is at 26, definitely in the fear zone, most people are probably watching from the sidelines.
I'm the same, although rationally I know this position isn't expensive now, I still feel like I can wait a bit longer.
Recently, I've been thinking about a question: are we too used to waiting for "better opportunities"?
ETH at over 2300, last year at this time, it would have been a hotly contested price, but now I'm hesitating whether to buy.
Human nature is like that—FOMO when it rises, fear when it falls.
But to be fair, a 3.73% fluctuation still provides plenty of room for action.
If I had bought at the low in the morning and sold at the high in the evening, I could have made a 3-4% profit.
But hindsight is 20/20, and the key is to have a plan in advance.
I'll keep observing tomorrow; if it retraces to the 2280-2300 range, I might consider building a position in batches.
After all, from a long-term perspective, ETH's fundamentals are still solid.
