For retail investors, when you feel an intense urge to buy the dip, it is often during a period of market panic when a true bottom has not yet been reached. Never rush to act. When you start to strongly want to exit, liquidate your holdings, or even become completely disappointed with the market, that is often the real signal that the bottom is near and it may be a good time to take a contrarian position. Currently, there are no clear structural signs of a market bottom!
