Currently, the decline in the crypto world is not a collapse, but an extreme shakeout! A major market rally is already approaching.
After playing with coins for a long time, you'll find that most people lose money, not because they don't understand the market, but because they can't withstand the cycle and are defeated by their own emotions.
Combining the current global financial environment, I want to objectively discuss the current state of the crypto market. After reading, it can help everyone avoid the biggest cognitive misconceptions right now.
First, the ongoing weakness in the crypto market is purely a destruction of consensus, not a fundamental collapse.
Recently, global capital markets have been booming overall, with the US stock market continuously hitting new highs, gold steadily rising, and the overall market value of traditional finance increasing by hundreds of trillions. Global risk funds are actively entering the market to go long.
Only the crypto market is out of sync. For the past five years, the overall market cap has almost stagnated or even continued to decline.
This trend, completely diverging from the global trend, fully indicates the problem: all the risks that needed to be released have already been cleared. There is currently no momentum for a sustained sharp decline; the remaining volatility is just pure emotional dumping.
Second, the market bottom is always the most panic-stricken phase.
As long as you open social platforms and news outlets, you can feel an overwhelming negative atmosphere. Many contents deliberately take things out of context, exaggerate bad news, and keep fueling collapse rumors, with a very clear purpose: to create extreme panic and force retail investors to sell cheap chips at the lows.
In addition, there are many typical "crab mentality" players in the community—those who missed out or can't make money, follow the crowd to shout short, deliberately disturb market sentiment.
Those who can truly make money in the crypto cycle understand one principle: all noise at the bottom can be ignored.
Third, frequent trading during volatile periods is the core reason ordinary people go to zero.
I have interacted with countless veteran crypto players and found a commonality: most people lose money not because they hit a雷 (mine), but because they can't endure the boredom of sideways movement.
Essentially, frequent coin switching and operations are all about avoiding short-term pain.
Take last year's Ethereum market as an example. Many people quietly accumulated at lows and held steadily for several months, enduring long bottoming oscillations. But right before the market started to rise and the main upward wave arrived, their mentality completely collapsed. They couldn't resist boredom and switched out, missing the opportunity for a doubled or even more explosive rally.
In the crypto world, the more the bottom oscillates, the less you should trade blindly. Frequent trading erodes capital and disrupts rhythm, which is the fastest way for ordinary investors to go to zero.
Fourth, there's no need to be pessimistic. The real super main upward wave is getting closer and closer.
Looking at the historical cycles of the crypto market and macro capital rhythm, every year from June to October is a strong upward window for Bitcoin. Based on the current bottoming process, by around October this year, Bitcoin has a real chance to break through the 180k mark.
What’s even more worth grasping for ordinary people is the explosion opportunity in altcoins.
Recently, low-priced altcoins have started to quietly move. Many coins have completed bottom shakeouts and accumulated funds, and will soon experience concentrated explosive growth. The market will see a large number of opportunities for dozens or even hundreds of times gains.
The crypto market has never lacked cycle dividends; what’s missing are cognition and patience.
At this stage, it’s not about technical skills or news, but about who can see the trend clearly, hold onto bottom chips, and endure the oscillations that others can't.
Don’t be swayed by short-term rises and falls or online noise. Keep a steady mindset and hold your chips. The upcoming main upward wave belongs only to those who can stay calm. #比特币ETF单日净流出7272枚
