These past couple of days, watching the market feels like I can't catch my breath, with orders so thin it's ridiculous. Even if my hand itches to buy the dip, I have to hold back. When liquidity dries up, honestly, it's about surviving first and then talking about bottom-fishing. I'd rather earn less than get pierced through my stop-loss by a single needle.

By the way, I want to complain a bit about how on-chain data tools and tagging systems have been called lagging and even misleading. I actually agree: I now only take tags like "whale entering" or "exchange inflow" as references. If I really want to act, I prefer to look more carefully at the raw movements of hot and cold wallets and stablecoin flows—don't let the tags set the rhythm.

Anyway, my current key phrase remains: survive. Once the market can breathe smoothly again, then it's not too late to consider bottom-fishing.
