These past couple of days, watching the market has made me a bit cold: the order book is as thin as paper, and a single step can slide it far away. When liquidity dries up, it's really not the time to rush and prove you can "bottom fish"; it's more important to keep yourself at the table. Right now, I’m only focusing on two small things: whether the trades are becoming more虚, and whether the rebound is being propped up by a few large orders. If I can take screenshots as evidence, I will, to avoid relying solely on memory to beautify the story later.
Should I enter the market to pick up bargains?
My answer is: not yet, wait until it can turn over normally.
It's even more obvious in blockchain games—when inflation starts, studios come online, and the coin price softens, it’s like three ropes pulling down together. When it crashes, even the “ecosystem narrative” can’t keep up. Anyway, I’ll first reduce my position to a level where I can sleep peacefully, and the rest… I’ll observe.
