The market has been really "dry" these past couple of days, with orders so thin it looks like no one is awake, and I'm afraid to step in for a bottom buy for fear of making a wrong move. In the past, I would chase after red candles, to the point of doubting my own sanity, but now I'm more afraid of getting caught in a liquidity drought and moving recklessly. Honestly, it's about surviving first and talking about bottom fishing later.

If trading volume isn't picking up and the structure isn't stable, I'd rather earn less than gamble on a rebound.
Recently, I've seen everyone complaining about validator income, MEV, and fairness in ordering, and it feels like retail investors are more like being pushed around in this environment...
I've set a rule for myself: every time I get itchy to trade, I first write down my reasons for entering; if I can't come up with a reason, I don't place an order. That's how I'll start.
