There's no retail left in this market.

You can feel it.
No FOMO, no fresh money, just the same timeline recycling the same takes while price grinds everyone into dust.
That's not automatically bearish.
Right before the big runs, retail wasn't here either.
Markets were thin, moves were ugly, conviction was rare.
The trap is waiting for an instant reversal.
This phase can drag for months and still hurt the whole way down.
But if retail is gone, the edge is simple: survive.
Don't bleed capital out of boredom.
Keep a plan.
Stay liquid enough to move when the game wakes back up.
