Lately, the feeling of “no water” in the market has returned, with order books so thin they’re like paper, and a quick push causes a bunch of slippage. To put it simply, when liquidity dries up, focus on surviving first before talking about bottom fishing: keep your positions small, don’t leverage too hard, and holding cash/stablecoins is the most important for sleeping well. I also watch the inflows and outflows on exchanges, but I no longer chase every fluctuation to explain it; when macro winds change, the reasons can always be made up, and anyway, the market is quite random.
By the way, there’s a lot of noise about NFT royalties—creators want income, secondary markets want smoother liquidity—it's all fighting over the same “water.” When water is scarce, everyone feels like they’re being drained… Let’s leave it at that.
