These past couple of days, my biggest feeling from watching the market isn't the direction, but that the "water level" is off: buy and sell orders seem to have been drained, just a tap and it slides a lot. When liquidity dries up, the term "bottom fishing" sounds exciting, but in practice it feels more like gambling on whether you can hold out until the next influx of funds. Just survive first, don't hold positions too tightly, avoid leverage if you can, keep some cash/stablecoins as oxygen, honestly, it's better to miss out than be forced to sell.
On the macro side, they're talking about rate cut expectations, the US dollar index moving up and down with risk assets, I see it too, but this stuff can be explained in many ways... what really affects your account is whether someone is willing to take over the position and whether they're willing to bid. Forget it, let's not talk about "trend" for now, I'm just watching one thing: whether I can keep my operations unchanged during the most painful days.
