The most obvious thing in the market these days is not the rise or fall, but the sudden thinning of liquidity, with orders disappearing with a single withdrawal. To put it simply, at such times, don’t think about bottom fishing or “picking up bargains,” first focus on how to survive: don’t max out your positions, avoid leverage if you can, don’t rely on faith for stop-losses, keep enough cash/stablecoins on hand, and be ready to withdraw at any time.
Cross-chain bridges malfunction again, or oracles report errors causing price spikes; everyone clings to the phrase “wait for confirmation,” which is actually another manifestation of a liquidity crisis. My approach is very simple: only work with on-chain data I can verify, even if it means earning less, rather than betting on a rebound after an incident. Anyway, first control the drawdown, and once the spread and depth return, we can discuss strategies.
