This year is a bear market, not a bull market. The Federal Reserve has confirmed balance sheet reduction. Major institutional players ("whales") are dumping spot BTC and ETH. Retail investors relying solely on delusions and fantasies of a bull run will get nowhere. It's impossible for retail to catch the bottom alone. In a bear market, you can only short, never long; going long often leads to being trapped or liquidated. To make money in a bear market, you must roll short positions. A strong one-way trend can generate significant profits—trend is king.
