Don't Foolishly Catch the Bottom! The New Trend Is the "King" You Should Follow

Emotions are untrustworthy; the new trend is the truth. Dear friends, today I want to share a very familiar yet painful topic: bottom fishing and following the trend. Behind these two trading approaches are two completely different mindsets. During days of strong market volatility, I see many brothers and sisters shouting “bottom fishing” and then… catching the middle of the mountain. An old but true saying: beginners like to catch the bottom, experienced traders choose to follow the trend. Why Do You Always Miss the Bottom? Many people think that when prices drop, it’s a “sale,” so they must enter immediately or miss out. That mindset is very understandable. But the problem is: the bottom is not a single point, but a whole zone. What you think is the bottom might just be a rebound within a downtrend. Ask yourself: have you ever experienced a deep market decline, seen it as “okay enough,” entered a position, only for the price to continue falling and trap you? That’s the price of emotional decision-making. The essence of bottom fishing is predictive thinking – trying to guess the lowest point. But in reality, the probability of buying at the bottom is even lower than winning the lottery. A more reliable approach is to wait for the market to confirm the trend and then follow. The New Trend Is Your True Friend The market now is very different from before. Institutional money flow is playing the main role. They look at the macro picture, technological fundamentals, and real demand, rather than chasing short-term fluctuations. AI/HPC computing infrastructure: Many mining farms have shifted towards AI data centers because of much higher profit margins. This is not a temporary trend but a strategic shift aligned with technological evolution. Asset tokenization on blockchain (RWA): Traditional assets being tokenized on the chain is no longer just an idea. Major financial institutions have participated, turning RWA into a real growth segment. Next-generation blockchain infrastructure: Expansion solutions, application layers, and connections to traditional finance are being heavily invested in, opening a cycle of new products and cash flows. That is the trend. Will you follow or stay outside? How to Recognize Trends to Stay on the Right Path Here are the principles I often use to identify trends:

1. Look at Money Flows Money always flows to where there is real demand. Areas that become the “backbone” of the (payment, liquidity, infrastructure) ecosystem are usually where the money stays the longest.
2. Follow Organizational Footprints Don’t just look at prices. Observe what big organizations are building, investing in, and expanding. When traditional finance accelerates into crypto, that’s a signal of a new cycle.
3. Keep Up with Technological Breakthroughs When infrastructure is complete, applications will explode afterward. Progress in scalability, security, and cross-chain connectivity often lay the groundwork for long-term growth. Practical Tips for Individual Investors Don’t obsess over catching the bottom: Accept entering late to gain higher safety. Position management is more important than entry point: You can split entries gradually following the trend, but avoid being “outside” when the trend is clear. Set clear exit criteria: Following the trend doesn’t mean blindly holding. When the trend breaks, retreat disciplined. Core principle: “As long as the trend exists, I exist; when the trend changes, I change.” Conclusion After many cycles, the biggest lesson is: the market is always right; mistakes are ours. Instead of stressing over where the bottom is, spend time understanding where the trend is heading. In the upcoming phase, areas like market organization, asset tokenization on blockchain, and the integration of AI with crypto are clear growth axes. Riding these big waves will be more sustainable and safer than obsessively trading small swings. Remember: the trend is your friend, emotions are your enemy. Maintain discipline, and your trading journey will be smoother and more effective.
